The Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs has joined a growing chorus of First Nations voices in denouncing the 'Pacific Link' pipeline-Grand Chief Stewart Phillip is promising a legal fight and possible 'boots on the ground.'

Throwing billions in public money behind a pipeline at a time of climate breakdown – while sweeping aside environmental protections, meaningful Indigenous consultation and workers’ right to strike – is absolutely not in the national interest.

Love to "make Canada strong" by investing in the technology that will devastate Canadian ecology, steal from Canadian labour, take up Canadian work opportunities, and undermine the cognition skills of the upcoming Canadian workforce 🙄

In other words, the fossil fuel maximalism Carney pursues is a strategy that helps the wildly profitable oil and gas companies and their investors at the expense of Canadians. He has the political capital to invest in an energy transition, but uses Trump as cover to pursue this agenda instead.

Carney obliterated the country's climate plan, and unsurprisingly, new analysis finds Canada would be lucky to hit its 2030 targets in 2050 (let alone net-zero the way it continues to claim with no evidence.)

2030 target and net zero: Canada is 20 years behind
This analysis shows that the country’s current climate policy package would leave emissions stubbornly high through mid-century.

If you read the replies you’ll see that Pinker was always a race science supporter, it’s just that nobody paid any attention. Maybe we should start noticing when celebrity scientists are fans of pseudoscientific ideas, and adjust our opinion of their competence accordingly

Meanwhile in Canada, the feds rather quietly released a climate report on Thursday (before a long weekend, classic timing). Main takeaway: Canada is warming twice as fast as the global average, and it will get much worse on the same trajectory in the next half of the century.

Gutted to hear about Dolly Parton. I got to see her once — a good friend and I did a road trip to Bangor where she was playing. Her music meant a lot to me, but also her kindness, decency, and generosity alongside her bright spirit and wit.

I think folks ignore one big thing in the comparison of Generative AI to Asbestos - because they just think of Asbestos as "that thing that gives people lung cancer in old buildings." When folks argue that AI is 'useful,' Ignoring the ways that I don't accept that premise, Asbestos was useful.

This actually is the root of a lot of my anger and frustration, and yes, grief. I spent years crafting accessible classrooms, advocating for tech, and now every measure I use for access is misused by (mostly able-bodied) students who want to cheat with gAI. And our institutions are no fucking help.

So no, your “ironic” ableism isn’t funny. The casual acceptance of the r slur and eugenicist practices isn’t “no big deal”. This is recent shit. I have colleagues who remember institutions and would rather die than return. That’s what lots of the people in power want, frankly.

You want to see Norway men’s national football team’s official photo for World Cup 2026 www.nytimes.com/athletic/733...
members of the Norway men’s national football team on a rocky shore, styled as a fierce group of ancient Vikings. They are dressed in elaborate historical costumes, including fur-trimmed capes, leather tunics, chainmail, and armor pieces, while holding traditional gear like circular wooden shields, spears, axes, swords, and blowing horns. In the background, longships rest on a calm body of water that cuts through a vast, dramatic fjord. The rugged landscape is framed by massive, steep green mountains, with a thin waterfall cascading down a cliff face on the left, all under a cloudy, overcast sky.
