Worth a read on the broad opposition to the CAQ's proposed Quebec constitution. It's great to see lengthy quotes from my colleague and friend Paul-Étienne Rainville, who works at the Ligue des droits et libertés.
“The government has not respected any of the criteria established by the United Nations for the adoption of a democratic and legitimate constitution.”

Dutch answer to the removal of the boards at #Margraten US military cemetery, honoring black US soldiers who died while liberating the Netherlands in WWII. This grave injustice went counterproductive for the US government, as shown.

Longi just hit a major breakthrough in flexible solar tech: 33.35% efficiency for a perovskite-silicon tandem cell.
That's certified by NREL and represents a huge leap forward. The cell uses a clever dual-buffer layer design for better durability—it kept over 97% efficiency after bending and heat stress tests.
This could unlock solar panels that bend and flex for new applications.
