pre-blizzard update: the city of Minneapolis continues to wage psychological warfare against the Minnehaha Creek beavers

Oh god this made me laugh so hard. Watch til the end.

The latest White House thinking on the Strait of Hormuz.

Sports gambling should be legal but you should have to go to an actual building to do it and it should be so off-putting and sad you’ll never want to do it again

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now. They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!

This is huge! The European Court of Justice, the top EU court, has ruled that EU member states must provide a process to change gender markers on identity documents for trans people. sofiaglobe.com/2026/03/12/e...

Canada belatedly suggests that the USA & Israel should comply with international law. At the same time as the Carney government votes down a bill that pleads with it to comply with international law. "The rules based order just up & died. Such a shame." says a guy actively stabbing it in the back.

I hate having to hear what Joe Rogan has opinions about, it's like having to consult the learned pig at the fair about everything

If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.

We need to mercilessly, brutally, viciously cull every single person in tech who does not understand what "garbage in, garbage out" means. They simply can't coexist with human society. They need to go fuck off into the deep forest.

Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.

Genocidal shit

New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime "American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."

Happy international women's day to all women tall or short, thick or thin, cis or trans! #iwd #international #womens #day

what in the world, Calgary Public Library?? brennan.day/why-is-my-lo...

Happy International Women's Day from your favourite International Woman. To celebrate, why not buy a book about medieval women's history, the cover of which will be marked as offensive on this website? The Once and Future Sex a book by Eleanor Janega - Bookshop.org UK share.google/78MevtXKrK7I...

thank fuck for some small bits of good news www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Sipping my coffee ☕️ and thinking about these marvellous Minoan cups! They look so modern it’s incredible to think they were made during the Bronze Age some 3,800 years ago! Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete. 📷 by me #Archaeology

Reporters should ask Danielle Smith “do you have data to support your position?” at every single presser. Maybe after being asked a hundred times she will understand that we care about the facts, not her smooth lies cloaking ideology.

There’s an Indian journalist in Israel right now reporting in Hindi about how bomb shelters in Israel will allow even the pets of Jews in but will not open its doors to the Indian workers our shithole government sent in droves to make up for genocided Palestinian labor. Apartheid regime.

Sánchez: “You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed. “We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”

With gas prices soaring, some people might search for cheaper transportation options. In many cites, a bicycle is a cheap and easy way to get around gas free. Give it a try.

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

Canada must send fuel and aid to Cuba.

someone was saying they thought maple syrup just came out of the tree, and it’s funny because we have a story about this in ojibwe like, the syrup used to come out that way but people got lazy and fat so the creator thinned it out into sap so we wouldn’t take it for granted

‘Mass Death on This Scale Is Incomprehensible’ “Are we going to let [this crisis] continue indefinitely? Because it won’t change by itself” An important read from @kwardvancouver.bsky.social and @michellegamage.bsky.social #bcpoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/03...

Journalists and pundits struggle to describe the difference between Canada abd the US often resort to the most corny and one dimensional clichés possible about hockey, the wilderness, and maple syrup. Maybe they could consider this going forward.

Our place was rented out to the Katimavik program! The feds were housing kids in a house with a broken gas main and leaking windows. I agree on social housing and it has to be for anyone renting, no means testing! Having social housing *just* for the poor gets gov off the hook for maintenance.

Carney says he supports US invading Iran, Cuba, and possibly Canada "with some regret"

Rachel’s reporting on white nationalist hate groups has led them to target her in person and yet she continues to be steadfast. We should all take a lesson from her. Glad to hear you’re safe.

just saw a news report where the Ontario gov't claimed that "reducing congestion" means "having more cars on the road, even if they move slower" and the back of my skull nearly fell off

I only learned today that “what a gong show” etc isn’t well-known in USA

If you can provide $3k checks for the entire middle class of America by taxing 900 people a little more, not only should you do it, but you should take it as a signal that your monetary system is broken

Funny how Cdn political class can stand up in Parliament and give a standing ovation to an American Charlie Kirk for dying due to the political environment he created, but a Canadian, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, can’t even get a public inquiry into being assassinated by a foreign gov.

Mainly all I want to do is take a nap.

David Attenborough [whispering]: “As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

What folks have found at various jobs is that of course the work doesn't go away. It's just that one person is now expected to do output of 5 people. There is not a future where capitalism says "great job that's enough productivity let's all work a day a week." This is capitalism working as designed

I’m convinced this is how a bay leaf would talk

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

When you really dig down into it the two (not monied interest) sides of this debate are: I don't understand my and/or the city's budget, and demand lower taxes. Vs. I do understand my and/or the city's budget and demand better services and understand I have to pay for it.

We should set aside our petty grievances in order to make room for new and even more petty grievances
