I wish the rapture would happen but just to people who believe in the rapture

Trump: "we found an answer to autism." Reality: Nope! We can't let the fearmongering, stigmatizing, guilt-placing lies win. 💪 ‘No relationship’: Scientists push back on Trump’s reported claim linking paracetamol to autism www.euronews.com/health/2025/... #ScienceMatters!

‘What is a woman’ seems to be a good ‘bad faith’ ice breaker.

I've decided I'm going to debate school kids and use bad faith arguments and insipid gotchas so I can have free fireworks at my funeral.

The next few years are going to be littered with millions of untold stories like this. Mothers watching their babies die of starvation because Musk took a woodchopper to USAID www.cnn.com/2025/09/21/a...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

realistic people: period products should be free for students men in their 50s: if girls get free tampons, my 21 year old son Brandon shouldn't have to pay for nunchuck lessons

The Gaza Soup Kitchen run by Hani Almadhoun and family is currently feeding 3000 people a day under the monstrous conditions of the engineered famine happening before our eyes. You can help feed at least a few people. Please donate: gofund.me/e37b4bae

Our grandmothers were asked to get full time jobs and raise children on their own without sugar, butter, and coffee for literally years. You were asked not to go to an Adele concert. These are not the same.

Amazing additional information from Ekos in re: cpc right now. Being anti-vax and/or not believing in climate change is almost perfectly predictive of CPC voting intention

Just the Alberta government casually threatening to use a constitutional sledgehammer to block a handful of transgender kids from doing normal kids stuff like playing on school sports teams. nationalnewswatch.com/2025/09/18/a...

For the first time in Alberta history, Danielle Smith will use the notwithstanding clause preemptively to shield her bills targeting vulnerable trans children from legal scrutiny. Her actions are simply cruel and wrong. Read my full statement below:

I just called Disney+ to cancel my account and had the most joyful interaction with an operator who was laughing the entire time about how many people had canceled today. I can only imagine how it feels to spend an entire day witnessing how many people want to stop fascism.

kind of incredible...what masks, distancing and school closures did to influenza activity early in the pandemic. Dashed line is pandemic onset in Ontario. Red=flu B, blue = flu A. Masking and closures are not sustainable population level strategies, but cleaning indoor air (same result) is.

Let's not cave to American style penal populism. The US has an incarceration rate SIX TIMES higher than Canada's. It doesn't make them a safer country - in fact, they are a far more crime-riddled and dangerous society, not in spite of 'tough of crime' laws but in part because of them.

Canadian COVID Forecast: Sep 13 - Sep 26, 2025 Severe: NL, PEI, SK Very high: CAN, AB, BC, MB, NB, North, NS, ON High: QC Moderate: none About 1 in 81 people in Canada are CURRENTLY infected.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/decb7a4... "In the past year, 2,315 COVID-19 deaths have been reported, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada. COVID-19 is still one of the top 15 causes of death in the country." @picardonhealth.bsky.social

Conservatives believe free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want. bsky.app/profile/theb...

I’m going to make a donation to a trans rights organization in memory of Charlie Kirk, because that’s something he would’ve wanted.

When a virus that commonly causes cognitive dysfunction has been infecting and reinfecting the global population for years but is simultaneously being collectively ignored this is precisely the kind of normalisation you get. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

To be clear… No one deserves to die for being a dick. At the same time, no dick deserves to be lauded just because they’re dead. www.brittlestar.com/p/what-to-do...

When a paid pundit bemoans a lack of conversation and civility it’s because that’s how they make money and they need to continue to churn the butter. They phrase it like they mean you should talk to your cousin who disagrees with you. What they actually mean is “please keep hiring me to argue on tv”

If I was the new Ontario Liberal leader and I won the next election I would definitely turn the Ontario Place spa into a giant co-op bicycle repair shop just to see Doug turn that funny colour of red.

It should be way bigger news that Trump effectively killed any attempt by foreign countries to build new factories in the United States with this idiotic ICE move. Just incalculable long term damage. Trump just killed his "build America" push www.wsj.com/world/asia/c...

Moderately inconvenient that 20-something nepo-tech-bros keep reinventing something that already existed like “the bus” or “cable television” or “the gestapo.”

There are 12235 signatures on this petition for a bill demanding accountability for lies and disinformation spread by MPs. We need more. This matters more than anything right now. Please sign if you haven’t. #cdnpoli #beBetter www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

What is there to be literate about even? You just type words into a box. The literacy bit is about knowing if you're being fed absolute nonsense by the chatbot, which requires subject level expertise. So the LLM is an extra layer of effort. It's all so stupid and wasteful.

"But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself."

"...after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don’t need me to believe it’s useful, you just want me to be polite about it."

"I do understand: you want permission. There’s a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don’t look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn’t notice. Your boss told you to use it..."

There is nothing to gain from debates where one side is bound by common sense and facts, and the other can make up alternative feeling-facts, move the goal post, contradict themselves with pride, ignore science, use any unfair technique just to deceive the audience. We should have learned by now.

“I hate it when people compare us to Nazis “ But also “We’re Nazis!”

@nikostratis.com’s The Dad Rock That Made Me A Woman is gritty memoir of addiction and otherness and anger, of conformative masculinity and the agonizing incremental approach to a genuine self, all told in breathtakingly fine prose and artfully structured around a series of formative songs.

Oop.

Hahaha

“Let’s not speculate as to his motives”— Nah I remember 25 hours ago when you were happy to speculate without knowing anything at all, and now you know MORE but want to say less? Fascinating.

Canadians log on to platforms built under American rules where hate speech is protected. In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk and another school shooting in Colorado, days before a nationalist 'Canada First' rally in Toronto, it’s time to enforce our Charter and laws online.

Yes. This. Exactly. Giving a book a snarky two-star review doesn’t make you look discerning, it makes you look like a dick.

For those unaware the majority of Toronto's speed cameras (that Ford vows to get rid of) are in school zones

I am glad to see CBC covering the controversy around the Vancouver Park Board hosting a Harry Potter themed event this winter, but man oh man is the beginning of this paragraph saying the absolute least possible www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The the United States Department of Energy does not understand renewable energy or how batteries work.

I had this conversation with my parents before they dropped me off at the airport. They knew that it was the last time they'd see me in the US. I thought I understood that too, but it’s... been hitting me pretty hard, emotionally.

2/2 Well, take a look at violent crime rates by province (2023 figures here). Guess what? The gun-loving provinces and territories have by far the worst rates, Ontario the lowest. Does that mean more guns = more violent crime? www.statista.com/statistics/5...

Sorry. Not sorry. You elect a convicted felon who allows people to be kidnapped off the streets and tells Canada he will break our nation. No we won't drink your bourbon and make nice. We are a nation that believes in the rule of law. Consider this a renaissance moment for CDN whisky.
