  1. Man With Sign, May 15, 02026

    It was a long day yesterday, much of it spent in a car driving to and from Amherst. I sleep soundly, wake with the alarm, and drink my coffee in quiet before heading out to vigil, arriving at Roosevelt Circle at 7:31 and setting up my sign and speaker. Today's hand-held message is the simple and undeniable WEIRD IS THE NEW NORMAL. Craige's not here today, alas.

  2. Sophists – From Ancient Greece to the current #mainstreaming

    “Being in #Oxford today, I popped into the #OxfordUnion to use a room. Glancing through the term card, it’s absolutely vile - and has been consistently so for the two years I’ve been back in the city. It’s a useful, if deeply dispiriting, exercise in reading the people and place. This is where parts of the next ruling class form their opinions and sharpen their instincts. Judging by what they’re platforming, we are not heading for a good time...” One useful term about this mess […]

  3. these two major fires happened nine days apart. Either one could have come into town with the right conditions. We are having a community meeting on Wednesday to go over what happened last year. It's going to be interesting and probably pretty emotional. Rightly so.

    I honestly think a big reason why most of the Liberal Party just doesn't get it is because they are centered in urban and sub urban Ontario and don't have to worry about their homes burning down every year.

    And allow me to just stop you right there before you say this is normal for our neck of the woods.

    Fires? sure. Fires that threaten towns on Vancouver Island. No. Never. Not in my lifetime. Nor anyone elses.

  8. Question for Carney supporters.

    When my house burns down in a climate change- accelerated fire, will I be allowed to vote for someone other than the Liberals without the "but you'll just elect a Conservative" or "but the economy" bullshit?

    I await your permission. 🙏

    P.S. And this is not a rhetorical question, we have had 3 major fires within 20km of our home in the past 3 years. We have been protected by geography, BCWildfire, and luck.

  13. Man With Sign, May 14, 02026

    I wake with the alarm and drink my coffee in a mild stupor, then assemble myself and head out to the roadside, arriving at 7:30 and setting up. Craige is still out, though I hope he'll be back for tomorrow's vigil. Today's hand-held message is CHANGE OUR CONVERSATION / CHANGE OUR CONSUMPTION / CHANGE OUR POLITICS. Cool, cloudy, with the promise of rain later on.

    It's a grey morning as I wake a few minutes before the alarm, sip my coffee in the kitchen, and head out to vigil, arriving at Roosevelt Circle at 7:31 and setting up. Craige isn't here today, so I'm a soloist. My hand-held message du jour is SCIENTIFIC IGNORANCE IS A POOR FOUNDATION FOR PUBLIC POLICY. Which statement shouldn't be, but apparently is, controversial.

    I wake briefly a few hours before the alarm and am momentarily consumed with worry that I won't be able to get back to sleep, but the next thing I know the buzzer is rousing me and I groaningly head downstairs for pre-vigil coffee. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:30, set up sign & speaker, today holding up MOTHER NATURE DOESN'T CARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE. No Craige today.

    Monday finds me really groggy and sore, lurching a little as I get ready for vigil. It's pleasantly cool outside, with cloudy skies and a light breeze. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:31 and set up my stuff. Today, as with every Monday, it's ALL-BLACK SIGNAGE, because there's not enough room on a hundred signs, let along two. Craige arrives shortly thereafter.

    It's cool and clear out here this Friday morning as I make my way to Roosevelt Circle, arriving at 7:31 and setting up. I lean on the guardrail and hold up WE MUST BE BETTER ANCESTORS, waving to Craige as he walks over a few minutes later. He's been having some health problems and I'm kind of worried.

    It rained last night; the morning is moist and cool as I walk up to Roosevelt Circle, arriving at 7:31 after nearly causing an accident crossing the road (a driver stops for me, others ignore him, and the whole situation becomes disorderly and stupid). I greet Craige and set up my various, then lean on the railing holding up 2021 IPCC REPORT: "CODE RED" FOR HUMANITY.

  21. Man With Sign, May 6, 02026

    I wake a little after six and spend the next forty shifting back and forth between awareness and sleep, eventually rising with the alarm, drinking a cup of coffee, and heading out to a solo vigil (no Craige today), arriving at 7:30. It's (almost but not quite) warm, with temps in the mid-50s F. Today I hold up EVERY DISASTER MOVIE STARTS WITH A SCIENTIST BEING IGNORED.

    I wake with the alarm & lurch into verticality, move downstairs for pre-vigil coffee and toast, then don my coat and head out into the clear and pleasant morning. The lilacs will be blooming soon. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:29, set up my equipment, and hold up CLIMATE CHAOS INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE NEXT PANDEMIC. Craige arrives three or four minutes later.

  23. Man With Sign, May 4, 02026

    Monday — I wake a few minutes ahead of the alarm, pull myself into a semblance of shape, and after my coffee and toast head out to the roadside, feeling a little bleary but not too out of it. It's pleasant spring weather with a nice blue sky and a slight breeze. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:30, set up my kit, and hold up my usual ALL-BLACK SIGNAGE.

Today I'm a soloist; Craige has something else going on. I arrive at 7:30, set up my big sign, and hold up SCIENTIFIC IGNORANCE IS A POOR FOUNDATION FOR PUBLIC POLICY.

    I wake presumably before the alarm (as I don't hear it), then realize I hadn't turned it on last night, and it's now 3 minutes later than usual. But there's enough slack in the system that I can have my coffee and toast, assemble myself, and get out of the house in time to reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:30. Yay me. Today I'm holding up LET'S BUILD A BETTER FUTURE TOGETHER.

  43. The #deathcult of #neoliberalism has driven us past the point where "climate change" - with its implication of manageable, orderly shifts - remains any honest description of what we face now, it is #climatechaos: cascading, systemic breakdown of the ecosystems, weather patterns, and social structures that human civilisation depends on, accelerating faster than institutions built on forty years of market logic are capable of, or willing to, address.

  47. Closed systems protect individuals, but they rarely build movements

    People fight against or/and ignore the #KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) approach in tech because simplicity exposes power. Complexity, jargon, and process give cover - they make control look like competence. When paths are simple and transparent, everyone can see who’s blocking, who’s hoarding, who’s acting in bad faith. Many “experts” and institutions are emotionally and professionally invested in keeping things complicated; simplicity threatens their authority, their funding, and […]

  48. In the coming era of #climatechaos the problem of #mainstreaming thinking and people will become a MUCH bigger issue that we need to mediate. The "common sense" they often bring is the #deathcult a strong problem we do need to do something with, the #NGO crew and "activists" who worship this cult.

    There is also the issue that needs mediating of the parasitic activists who push #fahernista paths in the grassroots movements. These guys are BAD friends, there are a lot of them. They are "native" being a part of the tribe, in this it's a question of balance to take a good path.

    OK, what more can we say on this?
