  • Right? Wrong?

    I asked you a question, I didn’t make an argument or assert a position.

    This is surreal. It’s like:

    You: why does everyone say good afternoon when it’s only 12:30?!

    Me: what time zone are you in buddy?

    You: you didn’t answer my question!

    Me: I mean, China for example is all on the same timezone regardless of how west or east you are.

    You: FINE. YOU’RE RIGHT. I’M WRONG. HAPPY?

    Me: wtf man, I just asked you your fucking timezone.


  • It does. The centre-left in Montreal municipal politics corresponds to the left wing of the left in Canadian federal politics. So if I write a long diatribe lamenting how the centre left in Montreal is not progressive enough, and send it over to someone in Alberta, they would have no idea what I’m talking about.






  • Meanwhile China is going all in on renewables.

    Here is a fact: an authoritarian non-democracy is doing a lot for securing the future of humanity, while the “leader of the free world” are vandalizing the climate and accelerating apocalyptic climate catastrophe.

    In 2025, China is a net positive for the future of humanity, while the USA is a net negative.

    If that makes you uncomfortable about what our political and economic systems in the West that brought us here, well, you know the meme: “facts don’t care about your feelings”.

    If you, like me, care about the future of democracy, we have to do a LOT of digging.
