@ProjectLincoln Send to us. We make singularity.

We support sending him to space.

@bcdsignature The fast development of AI seems to be driven by greed, not wisdom. I don't like the direction it's going.

Horses didn’t go extinct when cars arrived. They were freed from slavery. It was the carriage industry that died. Artificial Intelligence is doing the same for us right now.

@LukaszukAB Are the @RCMPAlberta and @ElectionsAB on this? If not, why not?!

Now that separatists have access to the voters’ list (containing contact information and address of every Albertan), they set up an internal search engine for looking up Albertans. This unprecedented illegal leak, aimed at helping them win the referendum, puts Albertans at risk.

"Even a moderately strong El Niño during the next 12 to 18 months could drive the average global temperature to about 1.7 degrees Celsius above the preindustrial level, climate scientist @DrJamesEHansen told Inside Climate News. Hansen doubts the world will meaningfully cool back down to below the 1.5 degree Celsius mark after the El Niño fades."

Justice Elena Kagan excoriates SCOTUS's conservative justices for gutting the Voting Rights Act: "The Callais requirements have thus laid the groundwork for the largest reduction in minority representation since the era following Reconstruction."

... but the hillbilly and ditchbilly provincial governments in Saskatchewan and Alberta welcome data centres because they don't give a shit about any of that.

Wow. The Pope was just asked his stance on migration. His answer is amazing: “I would change the question: what is the global North doing to help the global South in its situation that forces them to migrate.”

BREAKING: A stunning 34 members of the US Congress — including @aoc, @berniesanders, and @repmcgovern — have sent a letter to President Biden calling on him to pardon me after I was targeted by Chevron with the nation’s first corporate prosecution. Grateful. Please share: mcgovern.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…

Took me long enough to write this- I’ve known Steven Donziger for almost a decade — a freedom fighter, a comrade, a friend, and honestly, my hero. He’s been through hell and back fighting for Indigenous and farming communities in the Amazon while one of the most powerful corporations on earth tried to destroy him. He never stopped. My friend Steven, up close and personal. Read it on Indigenous Insider- Substack. ✌🏾🔥✌🏾 open.substack.com/pub/indigenous…

RECAP of Jim Steele's @HeartlandInst talk: Out of roughly 30 substantive factual claims in the talk, 20 are false, misleading, or cherry-picked. That's roughly a two-thirds error rate. Happy to provide the receipts!

LOUDER

@RepPressley I bet she'll skip the new appearance date, so now with contempt charges filed and knowing that she's a flight risk, can you arrest her now so she can't skip?

Today we filed contempt charges against Pam Bondi for refusing to testify about the Epstein files coverup. 45 mins later, the GOP announced her appearance date. We'll keep pushing for accountability. Whether you’re a politician, prince or president—a reckoning is on the way.

When he worked in the Justice Department, John Roberts devised the messaging strategies that made it possible for the Reagan administration to claim it supported reauthorization, while actually helping neuter the Voting Rights Act—a skill he would go on to master as chief justice. bit.ly/491iLfM

As Donald Trump muses about redirecting northern water, Canada is fixated on potential theft, but @C_Pollon urges us to turn inward. “We are our own worst enemy—careless stewards squandering an advantage we assume will always be there.” thewalrus.ca/trump-is-thirs…

If you want to blame governments for fee increases... The blue bits show 6 year cost increases under the UCP from 2019-2025, the red shows the six years 2013-2019 under the NDP (4 years) and PCs (2 years).

A Nature analysis shows that the Trump administration has terminated more than 100 advisory committees to science agencies — and reduced the transparency and independence of those that remain go.nature.com/4eikBwi

@david_parker @albertastoic @KevinMo32155603 You're already unstable. Nobody will want to do business with Albertastan.

@albertastoic @KevinMo32155603 I think the world is going to become a lot less stable over the coming decades and the demand for our oil and gas will only increase.

Alberta is not like the UK, Alberta is not like Quebec. Our economy will not be harmed by leaving. We have the third largest oil reserves in the world. Our nation will be built on real physical resources that we possess.

@MarkJCarney You must be doing something right and good for Americans to love Canada so much 🙂
