Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

The violence being done to language & truth by this craven, mealy-mouthed shitstain is second only to the actual vicious & unjustifiable violence to which he’s signing his name.

Not my project, just came across it as I was doing research on Canadian LNG expansion. Glad it was as funny and useful to you as it was to me!

On Chapter 8 trying to pace myself, because I want to savour not devour. I've read and loved all of Harrow's work (short, long, in-between) and can already say that this one, this one is The One. I'm ten years old again and hugging a book to my chest. I'm supposed to be working but reading instead.

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.

I love this show so much. It fulfils such a deep sense of wonder. After finishing season 1 we immediately rewatched the entire thing, could not get enough.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Two books, published by Undertow Publications, lie on a wooden table: The Best Weird Fiction of the Year Volume One by Michael Kelly, and Uncertain Sons and Other Stories by Thomas Ha. Both have beautiful evocative covers.

Thank you @undertow.bsky.social! I'm excited to burrow myself into these on the Canadian long weekend.

My weird fiction exposure so far has been Vandermeer, Mieville, and mostly older works and I'm trying to read more widely and discover new authors because: what a gorgeous genre.

they are destroying US climate science on purpose, and it hurts my heart. but take it from an MIT-trained nerdass:

all most of us need to know is that we have to stop burning stuff

stop burning stuff for heat

stop burning stuff for make car go

stop burning stuff for power

we have the tools

Canada Post β€œlost” 1 billion dollars last year?

How about, β€œit cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.
