Love to think about news - what's reported, what isn't, hidden trends... Retweets not necessarily endorsements. Mostly, hmmm, this is interesting....
No lists!

It’s always “a woman should close her legs if she doesn’t want to get pregnant” and never “a man should keep his dick in his pants if he’s not going to take responsibility for a child.”..

My brother was driving Uber when he picked up two men in their 40s and two women barely in their 20s from a bar.

The men were loud. The women were scared.

One of the girls secretly texted him from the front seat:

"They're taking us to their house. We never agreed to that."

When the men realized he was driving the women home instead, one of them said:

"They need to pay back our favor first."

Imagine being old enough to be their father and believing a ride home earns you access to a woman's body.

My brother got the girls home safely and reported the men.

The disturbing part isn't that these men existed.

It's that they probably still think they did nothing wrong.

Because some men don't hear "no" and think they've crossed a line.

They hear "no" and think they're being cheated out of something they already paid for.

That's not attraction.

That's entitlement wearing a nice-guy costume.

#BREAKING — but not surprising: Doug Ford's approval rating fell 10 points to just 21%.

In the last few weeks, we put forward real plans to lower grocery costs:

✅Remove the tax on groceries
✅Ban surveillance pricing
✅Stop grocery giants from blocking competition

Doug Ford voted them down.

Then he bought a $30M jet, changed the law to hide his phone records, sold out Toronto’s waterfront to American billionaires, and took a 21-week vacation.

When you vote against relief and choose yourself and insiders instead, people notice.

@engineers_feed True across every field of knowledge, and within organizations too methinks

[World of Engineering @engineers_feed]

Remote work is quietly destroying engineering culture.

Not productivity. Culture.

The best engineering I've seen happened in rooms where:
• A junior engineer overheard a senior one thinking out loud
• Someone walked to a whiteboard mid-sentence
• A bad idea got killed in 10 seconds because the right person was three desks away

None of that happens on Slack.

Mentorship doesn't scale asynchronously.
Tacit knowledge, the stuff that's never written down, transfers in person or not at all.

The engineers who thrived remote were already great.
The engineers who needed to become great? Many of them didn't.

I'm not saying remote work isn't real work.
I'm saying that the craft of engineering requires proximity in ways we pretend it doesn't.

The industry optimised for comfort.
We'll spend 10 years figuring out what we lost.

Did you know that when Forbes gave out the first-ever title of "Technology Person of the Year" in 2021, they didn't give it to a fake astronaut, CEO, and aging, box-bodied, self-important white man.

They gave it to a 31-year-old female scientist from Mississippi.

Me.

They gave it to me.

Australia's emissions are falling fast. Transport emissions are declining, batteries cut evening gas use by 30%, EVs now account for 27% of new car sales, and renewables supply over half the grid.

The transition is being driven by accelerating EV adoption, rapid renewable energy growth, record deployment of both grid-scale (BESS) and behind-the-meter batteries, and the increasingly compelling economics of electrification.

Despite concerns about reaching our net-zero targets by 2050, I'll put myself out there and say we'll get there much sooner. My view is that Australia reaches net zero by 2040 or earlier, with close to 100% renewable electricity and near-complete electrification by 2035.

Most forecasts underestimate how quickly exponential technologies scale. The old systems won't fade away slowly; that process has already begun. Cost curves are like gravity—relentless, predictable, and incredibly difficult to fight once they take hold. ⚡📉📈https://t.co/y4mZ95CD96

61% of Albertans don’t want public money spent on a new pipeline.

67% say the economy is too dependent on oil & gas.

New polling sends a clear message: Albertans want to diversify and build a more stable economy.

*Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's message to the Lebanese people:*

“I have a message for you, the people of Lebanon. Israel is not at war with you. We're at war with Hezbollah, that has taken your country hostage, that does Iran's bidding, that uses your territory to launch terrorist attacks against Israel.

Do you remember what Lebanon was like before Iran and Hezbollah turned it into a nightmare? Remember the cafés? Remember the culture? Remember the calm? All that's gone because Hezbollah and Iran want to drag us into war over and over and over again. You deserve better. Your children deserve better. You know by now that Israel will do whatever it takes to protect our families, our communities.

Hezbollah is weaker than ever. Israel is stronger than ever. We've taken out nearly 10,000 Hezbollah terrorists so far. We're systematically clearing out South Lebanon of these fanatics. No matter where they are, we'll find them.

You also know we yearn for peace with you, with Lebanon. A peace where our two peoples can invest together, build together, thrive together. The only impediment, the only obstacle to this beautiful vision is Hezbollah. They want war, not peace. They want death, not life. They will sacrifice as many of you as possible to achieve their sick aims. Don't let your future be dictated by medieval theocrats hellbent on destroying our common civilization.

Israel wants peace with you. Seize your future. Join Israel. Build safety and prosperity for all of our children. And once Hezbollah is dismantled, the possibilities are endless. And they are sky high”.

[Bev 🇨🇦 @Garnet_2203]

This week, Bill C-16 passed. But there were 40 MP’s that voted no. Every single one of them are Conservative MP’s. Including Durham MP Jamil Jivani.

The bill includes measures to strengthen protections for women and children, including recognizing femicide as first-degree murder in certain circumstances, creating a coercive control offence, and increasing penalties for child predators.

Yet 40 Conservative MPs voted NO.

Can someone explain why?

Conservatives routinely criticize crime, “catch and release” justice, and weak penalties for offenders. So why vote against legislation that strengthens protections for victims, women, and children?

I’m especially interested in hearing from Jamil Jivani, who is currently touring the country speaking about men’s health and well-being. Protecting women from violence and protecting children from predators should be something all parties can support.

The bill passed. But constituents deserve to know why their MP voted against it.
