@jerome@jasette.facil.servicesIn 2024 I emailed my local MPP because I thought his hotel expenses were fishy. His office responded to me that I was "singling him out" and that all Toronto MPP were doing the same.
Today, my MPP is resigning from his Minister position

@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energyJune 2026 was the second-warmest June on record globally, 0.12°C cooler than the warmest June in 2024.
The average global temperature for the last 12 months (July 2025 to June 2026) was 0.55°C above the 1991-2020 average, and 1.43°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average.

@LaChasseuse@mastodon.scotInteresting to compare the author Neal Stephenson's profiles on X/twitter vs. Bluesky.
He has 89,4 K followers on X, where he still posts, but just under 10 K on Bluesky, where he doesn't post at all.
He has many fans on the fediverse who discuss his books, but he is not here.
@daniel@social.telemetrydeck.comI think I found some new data to play with 😍
@hex@kolektiva.socialI'm not even the first person to say things along this line either:
"Another motivation for reducing the steel intensity of modern society is to limit the consequences of geopolitical conflicts. The more steel we produce for peaceful purposes, the more steel becomes available for war and destruction. Remarkably, the production of military equipment is absent from modern steel statistics, and if mentioned, its share is very low. However, in times of war, steelmaking facilities switch to producing steel for military purposes. The steel industry can thus be converted into a weapons industry at any moment, and there is now a lot more steel production capacity available than there has ever been in history."

Oh, and that article also shows the math that proves that there is no way to move to EVs without absolutely blowing through the carbon budget. You have to switch to bikes and trains. There's literally no other way to keep an even close to habitable planet.

@azonenberg@ioc.exchangeGot the official power numbers from my utility for the April billing cycle.
3572 kWh imported from grid, 200 kWh overproduction exported, for net 3372 kWh consumed/billed.
That is an all-time record for lowest power consumption (at least back to January 2024 which is the oldest bill I have easy access to).
Too bad it's also an all-time *high* for price per kWh - the effective price per kWh after taxes and fees hit 21.7 cents, a 15.4% increase since the start of the year…
