If you want to make a difference on climate, there are plenty of ways to do that beyond political activism.

The largest solar plant in the world, in China, covers 50 square kilometers. The Diablo Canyon nuclear plant in the US sits on less than one square kilometer of land yet generates six times as much power, writes @LeaBoothJr https://t.co/psYv8XLQjW

China is building a new modern marvel. It's not a dam or a high speed rail, it's the most sophisticated domestic surveillance system in the world.

The scale of data collection is staggering. No biometric frontier is neglected. This is how it works: https://t.co/JsjaNDrPW3

On this day in 1979, the first Cineplex, home to 18 screens, opened in Toronto. The shift to multiple-screen cinemas was the brainchild of Canadian businessman Nat Taylor, featured in this classic Heritage Minute. #HeritageMinute

“What we should care about is not the bronze and granite, but rather the ruthlessly abbreviated and arbitrary process that serves to dispatch people, or even whole classes of people, by keyboard guillotine”

How about I book plane tickets for us
and let's fly to China together.

We can try to visit these SLAVE labor
camps and you can see it with your
own eyes.

@Jumpman23
you guys are welcome to come too.

1. In The Coddling, @glukianoff and I pointed to Instagram as a main suspect in the sudden rise of depression/anxiety among Gen Z girls that began around 2012.

New report: Facebook’s own internal research supports that hypothesis.

Bill C-10 is not only substantively a bad bill. It's one of the *worst managed* bills I've ever seen.

I cannot imagine how the minister who oversaw this wreck can keep his job.

Our response to Premier Ford's request for input:

“What are the risks to children and youth of *not* re-opening schools to in-person learning?”

After claiming no user generated content regulation in Bill C-10, now @s_guilbeault says the CRTC can regulate if you get a lot of views or followers?!
The government’s story about the bill changes daily. Time to scrap it and start over.

The Rio de Janeiro police today entered the favela of Jacarezinho, where @davidmirandario grew up and where his family lives, and left 25 people dead, the most of any police operation in the city's history. They entered homes, killed civilians, complete massacre and bloodshed.

[Laura Tribe @ltribe]

.@JustinTrudeau still won't acknowledge that Bill C-10 currently includes user generated content.

But his own Minister @s_guilbeault has already said not to worry, they'll fix it.

How can we trust your fixes when you don't even seem to know what's broken?

[Conor Friedersdorf @conor64]

I still don't understand why "IP protections" are the issue, as opposed to "manufacturing and distribution capacity."

Can't we just keep the IP and pay for doses for as many poor people need them, the very process that worked in America?

ottawa says we'll be fully vaccinated by september but do they mean that in real time or do they mean that in LRT time?

Beautiful story. Dr. Kariko, a working class immigrant from Hungary to the U.S., worked for decades, never earning more than $60k/year, to create the foundational science of mRNA technology that unlocked new covid vaccines & potentially unlimited new cures https://t.co/6eAIk95834
