The internet reacts to Sony announcing it's killing off PlayStation game discs:

"Incredible of PlayStation to announce the end of physical disc production the week after they deleted all the movies you bought digitally from your account"

Mayors & Councilors across Ontario are demanding that Ford restore our democratic rights.

With Bill 100, Ford has canceled regional chair elections in 8 regions, and given himself the power to hand-pick chairs who will be able to overrule votes by a majority of elected Councilors.

I've got a good idea in regards to fixing 24 Sussex Drive.
Sell Stornoway. Use the proceeds to fix the offical residence of the PM.
Besides, what other country uses taxpayer dollars to house the loser of an election?
It is a waste of money and high time this practice ended.

Habitat loss is probably *the* single biggest mechanism by which species are going extinct.

The vast majority of extinct species weren't intentionally hunted and killed. We just cleared out their homes to build ours.

🇨🇦 Doug Ford's $30M private jet, that he wasted $200k of Ontario tax revenue on, has been sold to Doug Ford's preferred private charter company, Chartright, who have previously provided planes for his luxurious travel tastes to Texas and Saskatchewan at ~$10k/hr. #GravyPlane

The group that represents all 444 of Ontario’s municipalities says Doug Ford’s push to appoint regional chairs is undemocratic and needs to be reversed. https://t.co/4U0eUaS0Fw

AG Shelley Spence forensic audit found the cost to relocate Ontario Science Centre to Ontario Place increased from $400M to $700M taxpayer dollars & would've have been cheaper to renovate Ontario Science Centre at Flemingdon Park.

This always strikes me.

The summer of 1976 compared with the summer of 2025.

The difference between local and global.

[Dr. Serge Zaka (Dr. Zarge) @SergeZaka]

Cela fait maintenant cinq jours qu'on enregistre 42 et 45°C en France. Soit la plus grosse anomalie de l'Histoire de la météorologie française, tous mois confondus.

Et les premiers retours du terrain sont malheureusement très préoccupants, en particulier dans l'ouest du pays : mortalités importantes dans certains élevages, explosion des admissions en soin pour les oiseaux en pleine période de naissance, défaillance de la végétation en cultures non irriguées dans le Centre-Ouest, brûlures foliaires et florales sur de nombreuses cultures maraîchères et viticoles, arrêt quasi complet de la croissance de la prairie, multiplication de feux hors zones habituelles, ainsi que les premiers signes de défoliation précoce sur les arbres (alors qu'on est qu'en juin...).

Je sais, c'est pas joyeux, mais c'est factuel. Et nous ne sommes qu'au début du bilan. Les conséquences agronomiques de cet épisode exceptionnel continueront probablement à se révéler dans les jours et les semaines à venir. Surtout qu'une violente sécheresse s'installe sur nos sols.

Good Morning Britain just called me to appear on the show. Topic: whether it’s okay for everyone to get air-conditioning.

I said 2°C is now locked in and if we don’t overcome capitalism we’ll have far more important things to worry about than AC - like starving to death.

He decided it would not be good for me to go on..

The insects are disappearing. The birds are following.

And each generation accepts a little less as normal.

That’s how abundance is forgotten.👇🏽 https://t.co/FjUQC5mKtR

Scary ! France's most famous weather presenter @EvelyneDheliat presented a landmark prediction in 2014 on TF1 of what French weather could be like in a 2050 heatwave

Here she runs the tape back on her 2014 self and compares it with 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲'𝐬 actual figures👇

[Johan Rockström @jrockstrom]

This is so telling. So scary. So concerning. The predictions for 2050, made in 2014, on extreme heat in France, are vastly exceeded, already in 2026. Why? We have underestimated the rate of change. Warming is accelerating. Ocean heat is off the charts. Is Earth losing Resilience?

[Chris Glover @chrisglover]

Ford and his Cabinet Ministers were caught speeding 23 times and fined $3,300.

So Ford banned speed cameras.

Now:
▶️ speeding is up 380%
▶️ 2 people have died in accidents where speed cameras used to be.

They were talking on the news about how we’re going to have to adapt for a radically hotter country.
They said it like it’s normal, like we are meant to just accept that all our lives have been degraded forever just so that the fossil fuel industry can earn more billions. There really should’ve been a revolution by now.

NEW: OPSEU says Ford Fest pics shared by two PC MPPs also edited out union flags, in addition to changing the colour of protesters’ tshirts.

“Pretty desperate look to erase the flags,”
The union says.

The government says it was simply correcting an ‘orange hue’

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Okay, I can't let this one go. These OPSEU workers came to Ford Fest after being denied meeting after meeting. They care for our most vulnerable, and they're owed wages Ford took under Bill 124. His response? He literally erased them from the picture to make them look like supporters.
