Absolutely insane this is being allowed to happen. Chemtrade produces 40% of all domestic chlorine in Canada - primarily used to treat drinking water - and they're being forced to cease operations after an online smear campaign funded by their direct competitor.

As a security person, I SO appreciate great bits like this open letter around bad security advice ( www.hacklore.org/letter), especially given that it's got reputable people like @leak.bsky.social signed on. I agree that outdated advice and half-truths are just as bad as giving wrong advice.

In this age, I'm thankful for reporters like @davidfrum.bsky.social who are shedding light on how super meaningful programs like PEPFAR are being shuttered in favour of bailing out scam artists. But to my American friends, please contact your Congressman/woman to re-authorize this program on Mar 25.

If leaders are serious about ending war, women need a seat at the table. Global data, 1989-2011: When women are involved in agreements, peace is 35% more likely to last 15+ years. Men alone shouldn’t decide the fate of nations. Gender balance is especially vital with high stakes and hot tempers.

When someone stands up to a bully, you thank them. You shouldn’t need their thanks for just standing behind them.

For my anabaptist peeps like @fitchest.bsky.social ; my 13 year old is writing an essay on “Can war be just?” And I was wondering if there is anything aimed at kids from an Anabaptist perspective that might be useful for her to look at.

I remember doing a bunch of research on this some years back as I was curious how knowledge workers compared to factory workers. B/c I think that Ford and business plus union leaders in the early 1900s established ~40 hours as a major inflection point for diminishing productivity.

Despite being a tech guy, articles like this keep me holding a healthy dose of skepticism towards the latest tech pronouncements: open.substack.com/pub/davideps...
