Biden would’ve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakin’ Department of Justice building

Important work exploring Rogan's audience:👇 "...younger, male, & with low educational attainment" More "conspiratorial" thinking & "conservative media consumption" "politically diverse yet culturally unified" intensifies "cultural polarization." Preprint: preprints.apsanet.org/engage/apsa/...

Let's get all #concerts set up like this! #COVIDIsNotOver!

Not quite the same but I’ve been thinking about how so many of us do audio, radio, DJ, performance work in respirators. I’m live on the radio for 2-3 hour shifts plus prep work, masked the whole time. No one can tell who’s masking on a radio or podcast mic, but we’re out there!

This rhetoric has become so widespread that GLAAD put out a fact sheet, pointing out that of 5,748 mass shootings in the United States between 2013 and 2025, just five, or 0.1 per cent, were carried out by transgender people. thetyee.ca/News/2026/02...

Today, we're launching a campaign to push back hard on Doug Ford's OSAP cuts.    Join us. Take an action. SaveOSAP.ca.   More to come.

Some people use cold snaps and big winter storms as ‘evidence’ that the world isn’t warming. But global warming – or, more broadly, climate change – is about more than hot weather. 🌨️ 👇 scienceupfirst.com/climate/glob... #ScienceUpFirst

This "why does the left hate AI?" thing is like when the right believes protests are paid for by George Soros; they need a SECRET CONSPIRATORIAL AGENT because they refuse to believe that, actually, a lot of people are independently looking at what AI is being made to be and saying "ok that sucks?"

Fuck me. Like, you knew it in your bones, but seeing it.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

It’s so hard to have a reasonable conversation about AI, because people refuse to see the massive upsides of job elimination, higher electrical bills, hard drive shortages, poisoning black people in Memphis, and an economy where a handful of pedos with bad hair control your life

Guy Elston’s tartly entertaining poetry collection The Character Actor Convention is, among many other marvels, a rich banquet of anthropomorphized objects and animals and ideas, conjured into being through wit and wordplay and wondrous, piercing imagination.

My medieval gender and sexuality online courses is starting up again next week, and we have a couple spaces left if you want to come nerd out with me for six weeks. share.google/Ye4kTijsrYee...

This is it. Trustees *are* the accountability. Appointed supervisors remove oversight, transparency and democratic process. #onted #onpoli

As Sean says, don't take career advice from Nepo Babies. I have a degree in Women's Studies & I can't tell you how many "basket weaving" jokes I heard as a student. It's not only a lazy dudebro quip à la Bootstrapping, it's also sexist as hell. Treating woman-coded artisans as useless is booooring.

Historian of medicine here. Yes. Yes, they did.

*extremely solemn voice* One player cannot do this alone. The industry must come together, put aside our differences, and make a collective decision for the common good.

And Alberta deserves better than to have to fight foreign interference and traitors.

I believe the time is right for this song to re-enter our collective playlist. Apart from its political point, it's an excellent song.

Nothing that can help regular people is possible. Everything that can hurt regular people is easy to do. This is basically how most politicians act right now.

The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

Grateful for this boost from @civilianreader.com 🙏

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

The Tumbler Ridge newspaper puts it better than I could

Canada is playing a lead role in building a new trade alliance between the EU and Asia. Leaving the US on the sidelines. www.politico.eu/article/eu-a...

Highly recommended.

UN HR Special Rapporteurs weigh in on the Epstein Files “So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity” www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

Elon Musk is incessantly promoting vile white supremacy. Why is anyone - and certainly any company - still on X? My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

This all day long. I haven't put a new word in my current novella in four days but I'm working on it for hours every day. I have pages of notebook interrogation and miles of dog walk, the result of which will be a new first chapter because I wrote half the book without yet understanding my narrator.

Recently in one of the education sessions the doctors I work with run, they brought up how many children used to die from measles each year. 2 million. 2 MILLION children used to die every year, worldwide, from measles. That is the world anti-vaxxers want, and it is evil.

Traumas recounted calmly, or sometimes not. With precision detail and tiny, abrupt shifts in imagery, Maria Giesbrecht’s poetry collection A Little Feral teases out the traps that shelter behind trust; the way rigid religious upbringing lingers; the small moments that let us feed ourselves.

"The version of Christianity that Trump's most devout supporters embrace (and he pretends to) has no room for Christ’s actual teachings. Anyone who references Jesus’s declarations to aid the sick, poor, and vulnerable is quickly labeled a socialist and/or antifa."

i mean plagiarized chat bot is better but idk

predictive data, thats what "ai" should be called. even generative ai is too generous

The polling numbers are in: 71% of Albertawomen will vote no if there is an Alberta referendum. 81% of them said they would move away from Alberta. That will leave Donbas Danielle and her petrostate frathouse of keyboard rage warriors. substack.com/home/post/p-...

The previous administration was run by beta cuck soy boys who were too soft to carry out their duties. Here’s why I fired a Coast Guard pilot for forgetting my blankie. by Kristi Noem

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

“the medical profession’s response to covid-19 has been in effect to walk away from the established public health principles of ‘control, eliminate, eradicate’, adopting instead what I have termed the ‘surrender narrative’” www.bmj.com/content/392/...

Kristi Noem actually saying what is driving the extraordinary elections maneuvers. Flag this one.

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

ahaha all our enemies crumble because they suck

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.
