Genuinely like, it's astounding to me we can get to the precipice of Trump glassing 92 million people and liberals are just like "TACO Tuesday knew he'd chicken out." Dude needs to be GONE

British Columbians are deeply disturbed to see President Trump threaten “a whole civilization.” We want the people of Iran to be free from Iran’s oppressive regime. Threatening innocent Iranians does not achieve that goal.

Screenshot of a post from Donald Trump: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

The President of the United States is openly threatening to commit genocide against 90 million people.

Prime Minister Carney: if there was ever a moment to denounce this illegal war, withdraw your support, and call for accountability for war crimes—it’s now.

I've now seen several posts from Democratic US Senators and House Reps calling for Congress to return to DC, and my only reaction to seeing these is: Do it. Just get on a plane and go back to DC. The House is in Recess, not adjourned. There was a pro forma session today. Go. Lead by example.

Culpability for whatever he does tonight lies with him, of course.

But it also lies with all the people who spent ten years pretending he was something he’s obviously not, so they could write more sober-sounding headlines. He was always a lunatic and a menace; why did you pretend otherwise?

i feel like a lot of people are dissociating and not reacting to the threat of nuclear war with an appropriate level of alarm?

I also struggle with the knowledge that whatever he does - up to and including the end of everything - will have 30% support (at least, among whoever is left)

3/10 people will say, yes, this is good, and I'm glad he did it.

The whole system should be grinding to a halt right now. All of it.

Canada could basically singlehandedly shape our understanding of ancient ecosystems. Who knows what's already sitting there in the warehouse - probably whole new dinosaurs

Stop screwing around and just build, train, and hire!!

@mark-carney.bsky.social Canada demands more dinosaurs!!

Not to make him immortal - I mean, why don't we set up a giant purpose-built structure and train up like 400 people to just start brushing and picking away.

Science would progress by leaps and bounds. Imagine what we would learn!! It wouldn't even really cost that much, when you think about it

There was a video at the Tyrrell museum where one of the scientists says, if he could be immortal, he estimated it would take him 1500 years to process the fossils they already have in storage, even if they stopped collecting.

That stopped me in my tracks... why don't we just fund this!?

Canada too

Christ preached forgiveness, mercy, and peace. A guy who beats his girlfriends and has four gin-and-tonics before breakfast says we should kill for Jesus in Iran. For busy church-goers, it’s hard to know who to believe.

*touches earpiece* I'm told there are two Rs in Tyrrell. I think one got eaten by a dinosaur

A triceratops skeleton appears to be charging at me

Me, 67 million years ago: "OH SHI-"

A black path bisects displays displays of dinosaur skeletons on display

Museum displays of dinosaur skeletons

Museum displays of a t rex skeleton

An empty museum with dinosaur skeletons

Surreal to be in the main gallery of the Tyrell museum all alone.

Feels like the dinosaurs could just wake up and start moving at any moment. Truly remarkable.

I just go by what's in the owners manual. It has all the recommended servicing intervals. The dealers often make up a totally different set and call it "Hyundai dealer recommended" to distinguish itself from Hyundai recommended and it's so scummy

My local dealership solved this by recommending services that are not actually recommended in the official Hyundai manual.

Also I keep getting calls about discount oil changes. I wonder what they would do if I tried to get one?

I'm watching Highway Through Hell and I can't help but wonder - is it normal to have a road with so many serious accidents that it can power a reality show about tow trucks?

Is this really the best way to move freight?

Politics involves compromise, but we have to find ways to compromise that do not fundamentally destroy the policy itself, thus calcifying opposition to the policy for years to come.

You need a complete chain of safety from home to destination. And if you have that, then people cycle. If you don't, they won't.

And if you halfass it, you just get cyclists killed.

Which the right then mocks, and uses as evidence to get even bigger trucks and SUVs.

We have a lot of systems that need a soup-to-nuts redesign, and it ONLY works if you do every piece of it. Anything short, and it fails, and every other piece of it looks silly.

Take something like cycling. We know that if you want lots of people to cycle, you need total transformation.

Here's what's happening in BC

The right is convincing the centre to inject poison pills into policy. These pills cause the policy to fail in predictable ways.

Then, use the failure as evidence that doing anything progressive is inherently silly, thus shifting the window further right.

"Dubious" has two potential meanings: doubtful, or untrustworthy.

I think NYT saw an opportunity to make the "teleportation isn't real" experts seem sketchy

🙄
Once you see it, you can't unsee it

It's truly remarkable how, once you leave Earth, there's just inconceivable amounts of... void

We think of space like it's the intro to Star Trek Voyager, but the scale of nothingness in the cosmos is hard to fathom.

There are adventures up there, and we should explore. But only here is home.

don't say PWUD. say People who use drugs.

read this thread.

Make them say what they *really* think, not hide behind their little acronyms

Make them explain why Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity are bad, and we should be exclusive and discriminatory

Make them explain why they want your kids uneducated and vulnerable to predators.

They reduce these to acronyms because it's easier to frame them as scary, weird, and ugly-sounding when you don't say what the things actually are.

Don't feed into it. Repetition matters.

Use the correct, full term, every time.

Stop using acronyms for things that conservative media wants us to hate.

Don't say DRIPA. Say Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People's Act

Don't say SOGI. It's age-appropriate Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity education

And don't say EDI. It's equity, diversity and inclusivity
