Yesterday, I shared this same Canada Day thread on Bluesky, Threads, and X. Here's what I found. 🧵

“Canada is such a northern country, don’t we want a little global warming?” I often hear. In a nutshell, NO. We’re warming 2x faster than the rest of the world, driving extreme heat, flood, and sea level rise we are not prepared for. The wildfire season started in Feb this year. Feb! #canadaday

if somebody in california wants to sue the department of the interior and get a circuit court to ban all oil leasing, now's the time

Without going all in on cope, I do not think the chaos about to envelop the circuit courts is going to be entirely favorable to the right wing project unless Congress authorizes a huge expansion of said courts under a GOP trifecta

Media stop calling this insane bigot a “firebrand” challenge

MAGA firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene appears to have recently skipped reporting any income from the book she published late last year, stepping into an ethical gray zone.

For a little while now I have wanted to write about the Russian turtle tanks. These weird and unwieldy beasts provide a discrete solution to a contemporary battlefield problem - generating successful offensive operations. Read my assessment here: mickryan.substack.com/p/ode-to-the...

You have to read your TV shows now because nobody pays for sound mixing anymore. It takes time and effort to get dialog to work with music and effects but unless you're watching some bajillion dollar production you're mostly getting whatever the editor can do on his tiny shitty speakers.

ok i have another quote tweet prompt. what's something, big or small, related to your job or hobby, that most people don't know that you would like to have them know? it can be a concept, a piece of history, some vocabulary, or something else.
