Also just a reminder if you watch live: I try to take about 10 mins of audience questions at the end 🥰
🚨 LIVE TOMORROW AT 11:00amET 🚨

Green Party Leader Elizabeth May was the lone opposition MP who voted to support Mark Carney’s government in a recent budget vote.

Now, she says that was a 'mistake.'

That's why I've been dying to talk to her. Tomorrow, she's obliging me.

Are you willing to say that none of these will be deployed against First Nations people who peacefully say no to your pipeline?

That's it! rip off the blindfolds!
The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Me too.
Admiral Bradley is set to brief Congress tomorrow on the boat strikes—

Which brings Admiral Holsey’s recent resignation to mind, after he informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after 40 years of service in the U.S. Navy—

I’d like to hear Holsey’s testimony too

I've tried searching combinations of "Humans and Nature" "technology and competitive exclusion" or "Humans as extremophiles" to find discussions about ideas presented here: www.extremophilechoice.com/about-extrem... ...Nothing yet! Any suggestions? Are the ideas yet-un-thought or just unthinkable?

A Canadian publisher has called out the United States for using the image of a children's book character to brag about murdering unarmed people in international waters.
This is a decrepit gangster state.
This is the world of Donald Trump.
This is demonic.

However you want to look at Russian/Ukrainian geographic or historical "rights", this is Putin's MILITARY INVASION.
The Trump admin has been quietly pressuring Europe to not seize the Russian billions for Ukraine. He fully intends to give it back to Russia and likely will find a way to profit himself.

Shame on America, and shame on Europe

As technological animals, it's only our leaders who, not only should, but 'can' be complete in this sense of comprehending (or at least coordinating) various expertise. Including races and related 'cultures'? www.extremophilechoice.com/2025/04/01/c...

I appreciate this response from a journalism professor, who says that uncritically parroting govt BS in headlines comes from corporate, not them, and is in part calculated to generate engagement by making people angry.
Journalism prof here.
No, this is not taught by us (or at least the mjoroty of us). It is taught by corporate overlords who decide that an accurate headline does not create enough "reader engagement." By creating disingenuous headlines - very often calibrated to be rage bait for your base - 1/

Now here is a great idea: Instead of Black Friday consumption, "let’s mark the post-Thanksgiving date as Extinction Friday" ~ don't consume, as an act of recognition of the impacts consumption has on the world and all beings on it. therevelator.org/extinction-f...
Let’s Rename the Day After Thanksgiving ‘Extinction Friday’ • The Revelator
The annual Black Friday ode to overconsumption sits at the core of our destruction of Earth’s ecosystems. We can flip the script.

"Online it has been compared to events like The Holocaust, Japanese Internment camps and, worst of all, that time the government strongly encouraged us to get a vaccine in the middle of a global pandemic." 🙄(why is there no head-slap emoji?)

"What’s more it was all so unnecessary. Everyone already knew that Trump didn’t accept the result of a democratically held election. There was no need to lay it on any thicker.

Bashing the BBC is a national pastime. Though it’s hard to find a news broadcaster as trusted anywhere in the world
Remember—if you gather an armed mob blocks from the seat of your government at a time it's closed to the public, a crime to trespass on, and accessible only by overwhelming cops, then tell them that unless they "fight like hell" at that building they'll lose their country, it's not inciting violence
Maybe the BBC can learn a thing or two about fake news from Trump | John Crace
The broadcaster didn’t make a very good job of its untruth – possibly because it hasn’t had as much practice

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.
