Digger will very likely be the last chance at a global commercial movie sounding the alarm and connecting people with the reality of global climate collapse... until the climate becomes so chaotic we can't make films anymore.

There's something pitch black, darkly funny about a certain herd of online snits celebrating Digger's low box office while we enter stretches above 2C "Mass death" warming in 2027. They for sure don't know what that means otherwise, like or don't like the movie, they wouldn't be celebrating.

A federal party leader in Canada has received a death threat from a major US-owned newspaper. And the Prime Minister has had nothing to say about it. For days. Some Carney stans obviously view this as the PM’s approval of the death threat, which they obviously endorse. What about the others?

Canada is not actually 'battling for survival' in the context of secession, because in both Alberta and Quebec secession has relatively small amounts of public support. What we're battling is dipshit far-right populist politicians enabling/pushing for this destructive bullshit.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

One thing Canadians have always found frustrating about Americans is that we know essentially everything Americans know about the US, but they know nothing about us. And one thing Canadians know is that Canadians, by far, make up the largest group of foreign tourists. Or rather... we used to.

We won't know the full cost of the debacle for years - but we do know the military has been attacked by its civilian leadership from within, even as it has been thrown into a war of choice that had decimated much of our military infrastructure. It is a massive disaster.
