Alberta separatists can fuck themselves. Sorry, not sorry.

Nepal has been hit with multiple large landslides in the last few days, likely triggered by heavy rains. Here is *one* that affected Chame, however, there are lots of others in the region, and so hard to know which is the one that resulted in 56 deaths (see link below).

We’re referring Alberta’s Calgary-Red Deer-Edmonton high speed rail strategy to the Major Projects Office. It’s time to build the infrastructure that matches our ambition.

Today is bittersweet. I'm heading home after a lovely few months in Europe, but happy to be seeing my family again. Huge thanks to @ksvenenvig.bsky.social & GEUS for hosting me, and to the friends in Copenhagen (@glacierbytes.bsky.social @mariewinthers.bsky.social @marsjosh.bsky.social et al). 1/n

Few places feel the national concerns over affordability more acutely than Alaska. Though the state is usually red, Democrats believe frustration over high prices and the Trump administration will help them flip Alaska.

Mary Peltola hopes to unseat Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan in a race all about prices, federal aid and Donald Trump.

if you take it at face value the whole thing is a comedy skit. Guy wrote article about how AI writing is great using AI sincerely and openly and then they canned it for being AI because their expectation was guy would write without using AI about how using AI is good, just get Donald Glover and lfg

extremely weird shit during the Jack Smith hearing -- Sen. Eric Schmitt's team briefly displays a poster board that Schmitt claims contains evidence Smith committed perjury, but then Schmitt's team takes it down before anybody can read it and refuses to show Smith what it says

Watched this yesterday and am still haunted by it. This kind of tech is only possible because of 100’s of years of work by generations of scientists. The idea that now that legacy of knowledge has passed into the hands of sociopathic bros and blind profit junkies is terrifying.

Anyone have an ERC synergy proposal they’d be willing to let me see? I’m curious how they are structured.

next you'll tell me that getting power out of a big flat panel made of sand with no moving parts that just turns free sunlight into electricity is way cheaper than finding a rock deep below ground that secretly has flammable juice and digging a big straw down and slurping it up and exploding it.
