I hope they refuse, but if they comply, that individual Canadians keep up the boycott regardless.

I saw some wacky inflatable guys out protecting crops today. If this is actually a more effective scarecrow, my next question is how much funnier could Wizard of Oz be?

oh no, but how else will we get to mars?!

we can’t afford to restrain oil and gas, but we can afford the human and economic impact of more deadly and destructive natural disasters

honestly i welcome the data center lobby just openly saying climate goals needed to be trashed so the tech industry can build ai — intense heat waves, record forest fires, worsening natural disasters be damned

I'm not sure about you, but I think the collapse of US hegemony, a global price spike and recession, and a new ground war in the Middle East are far worse than drag queens reading books at the library.

33 countries have birthright citizenship. 1 of those countries has a pedophile as its leader.

For too long, we’ve focused on tech platforms and software but not nearly enough on hardware. Is it time to change that? This week @papapishu.bsky.social joins @parismarx.com for a wide-ranging chat about CES, AI driving up hardware prices, and more! Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/312_...

Canada is among the Western countries dropping in the World Happiness Report, in part because of the negative effects of social media dependence, especially among young people and teenage girls.

The thing about the U.S. and Israel is that both of their leaders are trying to stay out of prison.

In my utopian vision of the future, instead of offloading all the pointless, annoying work tasks (like reports that none one will read and needlessly opaque forms) to robots, we restructure work and society so that the pointless tasks don't happen at all.

Look where so many people falling for the excuse that “it was only locker room talk” has gotten us.

My favorite moment

Back to textbooks: Denmark rolls back digital learning. Denmark was quick to adopt digital technologies in the classroom, but wise enough to examine the impact on students, which led to a roll back in specific areas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKoC...

In 20 years the most popular book will be titled: "How to think without a computer"

Name them shame them

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

I’m aware that some are unfollowing me because I’m posting “political” things (that’s a bizarre word for the evil and insanity that’s happening). To each their own. I find it surreal that other urbanists are just posting normal city-building content like everything’s normal. It sure as hell isn’t.

And divorce court.

We don’t merely keep memories of the victims alive for that sake alone. “Never again” means never again everywhere and for everyone. As our nation descends into fascistic autocracy, we don’t need lectures that our situation is somehow insufficiently deserving of these types of warnings.

Don’t fund ICE. It’s really simple.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

I started learning Alex Pretti's name and how good he was on the *same day* he was killed. This country only mobilizes like this for white people. And as long as that stays true, then we aren't actually changing anything about what's happening. It'll happen again.
