… cheap renewables would really start to bring emissions down. It’s big if global emissions are plateauing but if we can’t get emissions down soon i’m worried about climate tipping points.

I’ve followed Jenny for a number of years and I appreciate her analysis. It’s great that renewables are pushing fossil off the grid, but I’m very concerned that intermittency + building gas power for data centres is going to lock us into decades more of high power sector emissions. I hoped that…

My 9-year-old: “Don’t go to war with the Kingdom of Furries. We have…(proceeds to list enough hardware to challenge the US).” This implies to me that not only is there an entire kingdom of suspiciously well-armed Furries, but that my child is a member. Anyway good for him.

I won’t buy anything HP but it did not occur to me to make this request. I’d have thought people would object. Maybe it’s just a small act and wasn’t changing the behaviour of any of the parents sitting there, but I was surprised.

I rolled into my school council meeting late and on 3 hours of sleep (casino night shift) and anyway there was a request from a parent that council not buy from Tim Hortons again for appreciation gifts or such because of the transphobia. And nobody objected and so it was agreed.

I feel those words of “healing the wounds of AI mania.” We do need to do that. And you’re right about who’s going to be asked to do that. It doesn’t have to be that way and we could all do it, but you’re totally right.

Lumine R-H @l-rh.northsky.social · 07/10/2026
I really hope that the speed at which AI has been shoved into our lives, and not just by governments and at work and every app but even around our physical homes, and the way we’ve had essentially zero say in the matter; is priming us for a massive AI backlash.

Honestly I think a lot of organizations and groups have been extremely cowardly about the referendum and 9 questions. Groups worried about funding and government retaliation and such. But unless they stand up and be courageous they’ll continue to be under these threats.

I really think the story of the last year-plus is a story of a failure of leadership at all levels by folks who should be leading the opposition. I’d like to think that lesson has been learned but in its absence it makes the courage of individuals all that more important.

Today I was doing photo day and a grade 1 was very insistent about my nail polish because “nail polish isn’t for boys.” I was able to reply that I like wearing it, and another classmate was like “I wore it too!” I don’t know if I changed any minds, but I’m determined to be visible.

I don’t know how to word this quite right but I mask and I’m usually not performing gender right and every time I volunteer at my school I get questions from curious kids about nails or hair or mask or such, and it leads me to believe I could be the only person anywhere near them doing these things.

Do you think our institutions and guardrails are ready for whatever happens post-referendum? Have you seen if they have put any thought whatsoever into what might happen? Done any planning, especially for what Carney might dub the “extreme tail risks”?

How about a vision where we don’t spend billions on new pipelines and instead invest that money in emission reduction & climate mitigation? The Federal report on climate change in Canada suggested 5 degrees of warming by 2081 under current policies. My children will be alive to see that.

Lumine R-H @l-rh.northsky.social · 01/10/2026
I misunderstood, sorry. I do see arguments that Carney is laying the foundation for the pipeline to fail on economic arguments and I’m trepidatious that instead taxpayers are going to end up footing the bill for political reasons.

Carney is truly the Reagan of Canada. A calming, paternalistic figure in a period of apocalyptic uncertainty who galvanizes the economy with short-sighted right wing fiscal policies. And like Reagan, every disaster that Canada encounters in the future will be traceable to his administration.

What's happening in Alberta is even more batshit than I ever thought. Danielle Smith is a dangerous psychopath, and the AB separatist movement largely exists because COVID broke far-right brains, and is led by Christo-fascist religious white nationalists, relying on dark money. 2/n
