BREAKING: $4 is back. The national average has just reached $4/gal according to GasBuddy, the highest since August 8, 2022. The rise is now the largest monthly increase GasBuddy has ever recorded: $1.059/gal for gasoline, $1.701/gal for diesel.

With luck, they should reach Frontline Ukrainian soldiers in a few days.

Regarding recent press coverage

Had this been available five years ago my beloved sister would still be with us.

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

WOW. Having worked in this field, I cannot overstate how remarkable this is.

Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive, deadly brain cancers we know.

THIS is why we fund science.

Who Americans think is their biggest supplier of foreign oil vs the reality:

Minor damage someone said.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨 Ukrainian intelligence confirms: Russia shared satellite imagery of Prince Sultan US Air Base in Saudi Arabia with Iran — right before Iran struck it and injured American troops.

Russia gave Iran the targeting data.
Iran used it to hit Americans.

Trump lifted sanctions on Russia the same week this war started.

The EU confirmed Russia is providing intelligence to Iran to kill Americans.

Now Ukrainian intelligence confirms the specific targeting data for the Prince Sultan strike came from Russian satellites.

Russia helped Iran hit an American base.

Trump’s response: silence.

No condemnation. No consequences. No sanctions restored.

In Canada it takes minutes to vote and the results are known in an hour. Also fucking with the election process in any way is a crime.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨BREAKING: GOP Sen. Lankford just said that the Democrats' demands in the Senate were "absolutely absurd; they asked for things, for instance, like ICE could not be at polling places."

The cat is out of the bag; ICE is coming to the polling locations in Nov.

This is alarming.

How can we tell it’s real if they don’t have any podcasts or sub stacks?

[Everyday Astronaut @Erdayastronaut]

I'm honestly SHOCKED at how the general public has NO IDEA Artemis II is taking humans out to the moon and will be the furthest humans have ever flown. Every non-space nerd I've talked to has no idea. WE GOTTA GET PEOPLE STOKED!!!! THESE FOUR HUMANS ARE FLYING TO THE MOON!!!

[Mario @PawlowskiMario]

Russia shared satellite images and basically gave the coordinates to Iranians who destroyed few hundred billions of dollars worth of American equipment.

And Trump is fine with it?

[Ernest MacGillivray 🫐 @ernestma]

It’s not that long ago that predictions of 1 to 2 m of sea level rise were seen as extremist.

[Ben See @ClimateBen]

We're already in the extinction danger zone at accelerating global warming of 1.5-1.8°C and rising towards 1.9-2.2°C by 2034-38. Sea level rise of 4-5m is certain and can hit this century.

@Osinttechnical A contemporary replacement would be the Boeing E-7 Wedgetail, estimated at $700+ million per aircraft, much more expensive than the weapons used to take it out.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is absolutely infuriating and completely idiotic.

An estimated 95,000 scientists and researchers have left federal agencies since Trump returned to the White House. These are the people tracking hurricanes, studying pediatric cancer, and modeling the climate tipping points that determine whether we can still prevent catastrophe.

We lost them because this administration defunded their work, shuttered their offices, and made clear that finding out the truth is no longer a government priority.

NASA’s own administrator just said studying climate change isn’t part of NASA’s mission. The agency that first warned Congress about global warming in 1988 now treats that work as a distraction.

Meanwhile, China and Europe are recruiting our scientists, funding their labs, and making long-term bets on the industries of the future while we gut the research infrastructure that took generations to build.

We are surrendering global scientific leadership voluntarily, deliberately, and one resignation letter at a time.

Currently 80% of Canada’s generation is already from non emitting sources.

[John Bulloch @QuirkyForum]

OFFSHORE WIND Five massive wind farms are going to be installed around the coast of Nova Scotia. By 2030 Canada will produce 70% of its electricity using renewables: hydroelectric, nuclear and wind. Anticipate the major supplier of wind turbines to be Denmark. Windy Denmark. President Trump calls wind power a con job.

[Bruce Anderson @bruceanderson]

Support among older voters has historically been vital to Conservative Party success. Today, Pierre Poilievre's version of 'conservative' is leaving older voters cold, and Mark Carney's version of 'liberal' is winning them over.

If Canada became a state of the US it would get 48 congressional seats. More than California. More than Texas.

China currently has 339 gigawatts of wind and solar capacity under construction — roughly two-thirds of the world’s total.

By any serious measure, China is leading the clean energy revolution.
