Less important, but very interesting, is how ‘Strange Days’ anticipated so well the culture which would emerge from everyone having small pocket cellphones that they just feel natural to a contemporary viewer rather than science fictional, as it was at the time.

Reposting this thread b/c it's Canada Day and we could all use a little self-awareness in our patriotism today.

There's lots to celebrate about Canada.
There's also lots that's absolutely not worth celebrating (which we must in fact reconcile).

Dear CBC: If it’s “nearly 1 in 5” Albertans would vote to separate, that means over 80% of the province WOULD NOT. Quit framing things for a fringe minority of dimwits caught in their own rage loop. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Forgot to repost something extremely cool that the Guardian did, which is an extremely direct form of public service that deserves to be recognized.

Carbon pricing and the elasticity of CO2 emissions Using newly constructed sector-specific carbon price data, we study the response of CO2 emissions to carbon pricing policies for a cross-country panel…

Talk about ironic timing: our paper on the CO2 response to carbon pricing just came out in the April issue of Energy Economics. Hot off the press, cold in the policy grave. #Econsky

what the actual bloody FUCK.

@ctvnewsottawa.bsky.social demonstrates such lack of journalistic integrity that we know they'd herald a Trump-style dictator- to avoid "difficulty" of fact-checking

CTV caves to tyranny, violating 1st rule:
