We desperately need some good #Mars movies for kids. @Pixar you really should team up with @NASAJPL to bring all those awesome charismatic rovers to the silver screen.

Latest observations of global temperature change shown as a 'climate spiral' using monthly averages from January 1850 to June 2023.

One for @funranium's next visit to Japan.
Gotta love it when you see "the dose is low" (followed by an implied "trust us, really") without any numbers or units.

Dozens of "news sites" filled with machine-generated content of dubious quality have already cropped up.

Why it matters: #GenerativeAI systems can recycle conspiracy theories + other open-web misinformation.

Important piece by @InaFried. Read it.

I'll believe this when I see @Bell actually pulling fibre on my street in one of the named communities.

For $3,227 per house passed, the build-out ought to be GPON to every house at 1Gbps symmetric and no usage caps. Anything less and the government is getting ripped off.

Last month the governments of Canada and Ontario announced they were investing over $71 million to bring high-speed internet to 22,000 homes in eastern Ontario, including communities in #SouthFrontenac. See more details and the list of communities here 🖱️ https://t.co/36BtaSkQcU

The problem is the problem. We need to get off fossil fuels as soon as possible.

@VoiceOfFranky Good analysis. Further rate hikes at this point are just beating up on recent home-buyers; the corresponding upside simply isn't there. It's time for stability now.

@connieinygk Ouch. That stuff is brutal; wild parsnip makes a pretty strong case for the snuggling of powerful contraband herbicides. Hope you're ok!

“The tornado will dissipate the wildfire smoke” is a real climate catastrophe vibe for this fine Ottawa evening.

What do you think @cityofkingston can this be done with the lights on City Hall?

I dunno, Russia; it looks to me like the Ukrainians will still be able to recognize "ship with missile launcher and big-ass deck guns" as hostile in spite of the extra paint.

[Institute for the Study of War @TheStudyofWar]

Writing for @navalnewscom, @CovertShores reported on June 22 that Russian forces applied a new camouflage to the Admiral Essen Admiral Grigorovich-class frigate to hide it from Ukrainian drone operators; its effectiveness is unclear, however. https://t.co/GfMrWyyd6G
