An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

I don't actually think he's crazy at all. But this was a good chat about a fascinating subject.
Is Mark Carney Crazy Like a Fox? Max Fawcett Thinks He Is

This is a fascinating conversation about Thursday's pipeline MOU in which I play a supporting role to @maxfawcett.bsky.social.

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Remember when people thought he wasn't good at politics? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/27/o...

As soon as I heard Peter Thiel was doing lectures about the Antichrist, I figured it was time to talk with @gilduran.com again — and he did not disappoint.

This is a great conversation not just about the Antichrist talk, but the broader project of Thiel and his fellow tech billionaires.
Peter Thiel is obsessed with the Antichrist — but what does he actually mean when he talks about it?

This week @gilduran.com joins @parismarx.com to discuss how Thiel casts his enemies as the Antichrist to distract from Silicon Valley’s anti-human project.

ME TOO! What the HELL Canada? We should NOT be interrogating people for supporting Palestine

so cool that mark carney is gutting climate policy to make a very expensive bet that asia will buy a ton of additional oil and gas from canada over the next few decades
"Far from a peak, China's gasoline demand is estimated to have fallen 9% in October on the year to 12.5 million tons, with average daily use roughly flat with September..."

China's oil demand is entering structural decline.
EVs put an end to China's usual holiday surge in gasoline use

"Free power"
Absolutely amazing: they've got so much solar in Australia that they need more people to use more of it, so the gov't has instructed energy retailers to offer *at least three hours of free power* during the middle of the day.

Meanwhile fossil-addled US struggles with an energy-price crisis ...
Energy retailers to be directed to offer free power three hours a day
Saying there is enough solar power for everyone in the daytime, Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen will direct retailers to provide three hours of free power every day to consumers.

I'd like to hear the people leading our country talk more about monumental #nationbuilding possibilities for Canada Post.

@mark-carney.bsky.social ? @liberalca.bsky.social ?

This would be a legacy project, one that would put people ahead of corporate profits. True leadership.
A nation building project for you @mark-carney.bsky.social

A national post office has been considered one of the most fundamental nation building projects for centuries.

Killing #CanadaPost will enrich private profiteers, but definitely hurt the country. 🧵 1/

I've become a fan of Alex Pearlman from his other podcast with his wife, "Too Many Tabs", so when I learnt about this, I decided to listen.

the amount of people I come across that are using chat GPT as a reliable source is troubling. And not just for the social/community/environmental downsides.
