She's still the leader of a federal party, she's still speaking up in parliament. And she's definitely not letting Carney slink away. From her Good Sunday Morning newsletter:

"I continue to rage as Canada moves away from climate action."

"In 2021, at Glasgow’s COP26, Mark Carney was the conquering hero. He was UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance and Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Climate Finance Advisor as he announced the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ). The commitment was astonishing. Not just billions of dollars for the transition from fossil fuels. Carney announced $37 trillion for the move to renewable energy. At COP26 Carney said, “This is the breakthrough in mainstreaming climate finance the world needs. I welcome the leadership of... global banks for their new commitments to net zero and for joining forces with GFANZ, the gold standard for net zero commitments in the financial sector. Most fundamentally, GFANZ will act as the strategic forum to ensure the financial system works together to broaden, deepen, and accelerate the transition to a net zero economy.”"

"Five years later, where is GFANZ? What of the leadership of global banks? And, if we follow the money, where is the $37 trillion??"

"In a word, “poof!” It all disappeared."

"So now I watch the skillful political moves of Mark Carney. Canada is marching backwards, away from climate action while in parliamentary debates, the prime minister and his energy minister celebrate that our fossil fuel production is at an all-time high. Unlike press releases, the build up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is real and largely irreversible. Knowing we are running out of time, I wonder at the cognitive dissonance of those who understand climate science and yet continue to act as though we have all the time in the world? Federally and provincially, whether under Alberta Premier Danielle Smith or BC Premier David Eby, or Doug Ford or NS’s Tim Houston, we are petrostates—committed to fossil fuels, even when the economics do not add up."

"There is hope. While Canada moves to the bad guy column in the climate wars, many countries are still committed. Eighty five countries tried at last year's COP30 to develop the road map to get off fossil fuels. Later this month, many of those governments will gather in Colombia for a conference to begin a global transition away from oil, gas and coal. The First International Conference on the Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels opens on April 28 in Colombia. I have seen nothing in our Canadian media about it, but here is an article to inspire hope. Mark Carney will not be attending."

"None of us have the luxury of despair. We have the duty to hope, and work hard."

"Please help boost the signatures to this very modest petition (below). It closes on April 29."

"In the meantime, enjoy our Canadian spring and let’s hope against hope the coming season is not one of our climate nightmares."

are you trying to tell me that Gail Simone's a biased comic writer when she's fed so many lesbians with her work?? He had a burrito

I distinctly remember learning about fanfic, going on a website, putting one type of "fandom" I liked at the time, and being very puzzled at the two examples I could find of Killer7 fanfiction. Dan Smith & Kevin Smith hanging out? What possible interest could writers have in these two just talking?

Dan Smith, a well dressed Japanese man in sharp white lighting, looking Yakuza AF

Kevin Smith, an albino shirtless man with incredible muscle definition who is totally mute, and also he throws knives but that's got nothing to do with the image here really

I decided to learn more with a wikipedia deep dive and I am having a wonderful time

"Two others were important in the formation of the OMRLP: John Desmond Dougrez-Lewis stood in the Crosby by-election of 1981 (won by the Social Democratic Party's co-founder Shirley Williams); and Dougrez-Lewis stood in the by-election as Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim-bus-stop-F'tang-F'tang-Olé-Biscuitbarrel, taken from the Election Night Special Monty Python sketch."

Are you gonna post the smears in BTS footage so that outfits like @drawfeeshow.com can turn them into fan art? 😁

The sheer panic that Gen AI appears to get in some of its current versions in studies where it's just trying to run a vending machine gives me legitimate anxiety. arxiv.org/html/2502.15...

Except of a study where a GenAI bot appears to be begging to do anything but run this damn vending machine for a moment longer

My friends and I were just talking about the Heroes in Deadlock, & some of the art direction in that series. They've got some great choices! There's a she/her flat-chested gargoyle, there's a kick-ass tit-less lizard, they're femme-presenting & it's fun representation. & they're getting a werewolf!

Oh that's a fun thematic reversal! ☺️ Most of what I know about Hidden Christians in Japan came from the Tales of the Otori books by Lian Hearn. My Lancer's genetic template was a South-East Asian coded freedom fighter, so I flavor-texted the Wazikashi as a Talwar & gave it a big red-&-gold sash!

Wow. Fuggin' -wow-. (The part about 'young Jews should get used to feeling like outsiders in a nation dominated by Christianity' is also a fuckin' doozy.)

So, the lesson of the Holocaust we’re supposed to learn is: Never again for us, but for Palestinians, never say never. And never be confused into empathizing with them, regardless of what you see on social media.

What the fuck kind of weird bot spam is this

Overcast background, closer up shot of the billboard from hell. It reminded me of a border made out of pubic hair. Eerie and upsetting with not much else to look at during a long lineup!
