@Mattxduchak @dad_nrg It's much better.

[Max Fawcett 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @maxfawcett]

@dad_nrg @Mattxduchak Bluesky, fellas. I'm also about to roll out a newsletter that's basically all receipts, all the time.

[Max Fawcett 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @maxfawcett]

@JasonOnTheDrums @AndrewBrethauer It doesn't. That's the thing. The algorithm makes sure of that.

C'mon over. And sign up for my Substack, if you haven't already.

[Max Fawcett 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @maxfawcett]

@AndrewBrethauer @JasonOnTheDrums It's much better over there, gentlemen.

[Max Fawcett 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @maxfawcett]

@timethief I'm on Bluesky. I post regularly there. I'm not interested in painting Elon's fence any more.

[Max Fawcett 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @maxfawcett]

@annequeenofme23 @JasonOnTheDrums @politicalham I'm fine. Just over on Bluesky.

[Max Fawcett 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @maxfawcett]

@Oak9663 I'm on Substack. I'm on BlueSky.

I'm not hard to find.

[Max Fawcett 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @maxfawcett]

Yes.

Imho entirely reasonable to quote enviro activists/analysts in an LNG story.

But let’s be real, they’re *not* the ones best able to answer the question asked by the headline.

And *5* ENGOs with *zero* other actual market/industry voices is a clear disservice to public interest.

[Max Fawcett 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @maxfawcett]

@Rory_Johnston It doesn't help that it's an editor out of Toronto.

And this bit about the Montney being a "carbon bomb"? This is sort of the inverse of the conservative argument around how LNG exports can magically meet all of Canada's emissions reduction targets.

this is very very good

@Prominent_Bryan The horseshoe theory strikes again.

[John Harwood @JohnJHarwood]

the "divisive" thing Obama did was winning two presidential elections

white racists experienced that as a traumatic brain injury from which they've never recovered

@aeberman12 @JavierBlas

[Max Fawcett 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @maxfawcett]

@politicalham I'm not even sure he read Blas's column, since one of the points he made is that the restoration of the current policies scenario is more of a warning than a vindication.

@BrockWarkentin @TristinHopper Or, as Christopher Hitchens famously said, "What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence."

[Max Fawcett 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @maxfawcett]

Normal stuff

[Max Fawcett 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @maxfawcett]

@BrockWarkentin @TristinHopper Once again, if you want to assert that the media's to blame for violence, that or a large swathe of civil society believes it's okay to murder those with differing perspectives, you actually have to prove it first.
