🌼 This year, we’ve seen native gardens bloom, rare plants thrive, and pollinators return.

All thanks to YOU and the power of native seeds.

Giving Tuesday is coming (Dec 2).
Let’s keep free native seeds growing in Ottawa.

Hi Bluesky 👋

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

Also, as Dale notes, provinces have no room to incarcerate more people. Judges are reducing custodial sentences because jail conditions are so bad. bsky.app/profile/jour...
For the record, in Ontario jails, 78 percent of people are in pre-trial detention and have not been convicted. Facilities are so overcrowded they are triple-bunking in tiny cells.

While it LOOKS like Trump is making everybody capitulate, you guys realize 6 people own 90% of ALL media in America?

There are not tens of thousands of people capitulating. There are just a few old men—lusting for more power—

& Trump is giving it to them!

That’s what Kimmel's cancellation means.

The other thing people need to realize is that when the ground is very dry, it compresses and any activity on it compresses it more.

Any rapid precipitation won’t be absorbed and much will simply run along it like a river creating flash floods/mudslides.

🔥 @climatedad.bsky.social kindly updated this chart 🙏👇

I've updated this graph with what looks like fairly probable numbers going forward.

Maybe I'm being too pessimistic, too optimistic, let me know.

And maybe the specific numbers are less important than the scientific certainty that our civilisation is slamming into a wall.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
