I'm pretty sure I know people who claim such things, even before the super psychosis enabling bots came online. Things are going to get messy... er.
I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.

The votes on the federal budget forced ministers to leave critical international climate negotiations a week early, right as negotiations are going down to the wire.

Canada is missing in action at COP30 and now is less able to even participate. An all around pathetic summit for Carney's gov.
Federal budget scramble leaves Canadian negotiators rudderless at UN climate summit
The federal budget made it through confidence votes unscathed at the cost of Canada sacrificing its ministerial presence at international climate negotiations in Brazil.

Who could forget such CDC hits as retracting that COVID is airborne or publishing indoor ventilation guidance the day after the end of the public health emergency order so that they would serve no purpose at all. Anyway, AIDS activist would like a word.

The latest CBC report shows why Canada urgently needs tighter oversight on military exports. When Canadian components can end up in airstrikes abroad, we have a responsibility to act.
That’s why I introduced Bill C-233 to strengthen export-control accountability.

At COP30 Canada just got awarded the fossil of the day — first time since 2014 (the harper years). Clear sign of how Carney’s pro fossil fuel agenda and backsliding on climate policy is being noticed internationally.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Well, here's some very exciting news!

I've been wanting to share this for a few months, but had to wait for the pre-print to drop.

A NEW GLITCH ON A MILLISECOND PULSAR HAS BEEN OBSERVED!

These events are extremely rare - only two others since MSPs discovered.

🔭🧪📡
For only the third time ever, a glitch event has been observed on a millisecond #pulsar.

Friends, can I ask a favour.

Our latest Honest Government out is a serious warning to Canada from Australia, which acts as a cautionary tail about the harms of the gas (LNG) export industry... Hence the cameo (spoiler alert) from our own aussie climate criminals, Woodside Energy

You think maybe this is a biggie as far as solar storms go? You'd be right. It is! One of the five biggest of the current solar cycle, SC25. In terms of rate of energy dissipation though it isn't up to the May 10-11 event of 2024. That was a G5-level storm. Stay tuned for tomorrow.
