Uber Geek, Djork and Alpha Nerd turned family man. A sideline in insanity doesn't hurt either. I will fight against any who say RWBY or JoJo are great anime.

I hate it when I get a perfect, logically consistent & genuinely valid argument concluding tweet to then find my opponent was a less than a month old Twitter trolling tool who doesn’t actually Care about logic, facts or objective reality so proving anything to them can’t be done.

Well, Putin gets the Ukraine, China gets Taiwan, human rights go down the drain and this site becomes even more toxic.

The future looks so depressing.

#ElectionDay well crap.
Even if Trump goes on to lose (and I really hope he does) the strong showing of #Trumpism is going to stick around for at least another 8 years.
It will continue to infect Canadian Politics and even act globally.
Not what I wanted to see.

@Van6ogh @OlooneyJohn @PicturesFoIder Yeah, Romans were able to prove the world was round but vaccines took cow pox to defeat chicken pox.
SARS vaccines were developed but not mass produced and going from them to Covid was easier than starting from scratch.
Science is fun.

Girl Genius for 11/4 (link in comments) Man, I try to avoid current events & politics, but c'mon, get out and vote. I got adult material I want to publish, and I'm not doing that under a fascist. Oh, they'd come for me Anyway, and don't kid yourself, most of you guys too.

@_imey @Garnet_1987 @TamIWas Look at what’s actually in project 2025.
They really are worthy of being villains and scorned with extra ridicule for their goals.

They are this close to starting down the crazy train towards her dystopian future.

@StephenLeahy @ryankatzrosene Someone built the last great whaling ships when the oceans were so depleted that ships had to stay out for over half a year to get a full cargo load.

Alberta seeks to do the same for the oil industry and I can’t stop my premier from being openly corrupt and promising a new boat.

[Prof. Ryan Katz-Rosene @ryankatzrosene]

A lot of people are responding (correctly) that there’s not likely sufficient future market demand to support a doubling of Alberta oil and gas. But that’s not the point! The point is: a) a responsible government would be attuned and responding carefully to global market shifts and recognize the vulnerabilities it poses to Alberta’s economy to double down (literally) on fossil fuels; b) a responsible government would put resources into envisioning a sustainable future and leveraging existing assets to modernize its (higher value) exports, not expand upon dirty lower value raw commodities; and c) a responsible government would focus on cleaning up the cumulative environmental damages that have accrued over the last half Century of expanding oil production, not trying to make that task *twice as difficult*! 🤬

@TheGeoHussar @benphillips76 This is the truth of it, but you can shift it from Trumpism to a general population of conservative thinkers.
My own father isn’t quite as gone as Trump, but he trusts ‘what worked in the past’ over what his doctors are telling him now and for some reason he isn’t getting better.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Harrison Ford: When dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms saying ‘For God's sake, don't do this again,’ you have to pay attention. They're telling us something important. I've got one vote, same as anyone else, and I'm going to use it to move forward. I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris

[jon_a_ross @jon_a_ross]

I am so tired of watching the world get divided into those who listen and practice good science, empathy and sympathy and those who run on hate, ignorance and fear mongering.
It shouldn’t be a 50/50 divide.

Ignorance & hate shouldn’t draw equal numbers to knowledge & empathy.
