A little weak on the valid criticisms of this, just a tad too subtle I think

This feels like the intro to a modern day revolution film exploring an American version of La Terreur that would involve a number of drownings in rivers around DC

Does this also mention the very wealthy people who moved in to replace these ones, all the rich people are not going to leave California, this scare tactic is stupid, like they said would happen in NY with Mayor Mamdani's election

Oh no how will California live without these billionaires who have a million offshore accounts and fourth homes in Florida and an army of tax lawyers and don’t pay their taxes anyway

This is exactly what you could have with a law that required X% of union seats on the board on any corporation with X number of employees (maybe 25% and 100 or 50% and 1000). And why not, they make the money because of the workers so let us see those books and figure out where that money is going..

i feel like it should be a rule that if you can’t afford to have employees then you shouldn’t get to own 7 sports franchises

I mean this should be everyone's default, but in particular today Tony Blair can fuck all the way off

Someone should just come up with "dobe crobt", a pdf editor with no A or I in it guaranteed

Thinking again about how Mackenzie Scott has given away $19 billion of her $38b and still seen her net worth increase, these are some weird little pissbabies

New report but not really news. EVs just last a very long time, 80% fewer parts, batteries lasting decades, no one even mentions the motors because it’s such a non issues. Life’s better with an EV!

Yeah of course they were going to find a way to try and publicly finance a new pipeline: www.cbc.ca/news/politic... We're being led into the past of energy. Also, as to the financial risk fossil fuel projects bring to Indigenous communities: www.desmog.com/2025/11/24/a... #CDNpoli #ABpoli #BCpoli

So I have a question for CIHR, the reason to avoid AI in reviews is privacy of intellectual property of applicants, but CIHR is allowing the use in applications (with some caveats), but if you use AI in your application it is no longer your IP, see above, make it make sense....

David Suzuki on elevating the economy over the environment: "We feel that the economy is the source of everything that matters ... If we have to breathe polluted air all the time, we're sick and yet we're using air as a garbage can."

since the lyceum of aristotle, the time honored and very academic discipline of "marketing" has been famous for its ruthless critique of all that exists

The plagiarism machine doesn't just traffic in text.

the creative process

From CBC News: Canadian detained by ICE for 6 months says he's an 'indefinite' prisoner, has no idea when he'll get out. 58 Canadians are being held by ICE. Avoid all nonessential travel to the United States.

I honestly I think a woman would be the perfect assassin for trump. His regime devalues women so much, so if you were to build the components of a printed weapon into an elaborate ball gown there would be a blind spot for it, especially if the assassin was attractive and young enough...

Building out Canada's capitalist class and creating new opportunities for the income divide to be gobbled up by nouveau riche.

You’re asking us to essentially help fund large private companies?! Are you out of your mind lol. These should be publicly built and publicly owned projects, not PPP’s where wealthy private interests are getting even more of our money.

My brain kept reading this as furry and I thought I was having a hemiplegic migraine a second

"The are two ways to calculate percentage." —Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of Health, Human Services and Mathematics

Not really. Again, this makes perfect sense if you are anti socialist, follow anti socialists and think Trump is an aberration and support the US. His actions have a pretty clear through line with that logic.

„Freie Märkte“😜 „Warum ist die Zahl der Milliardäre so stark gestiegen? Das geht im Prinzip auf politische Entscheidungen in den USA seit den 1980er-Jahren zurück: weniger Regulierung, niedrigere Steuern & neue Regeln wie die Legalisierung von Aktienrückkäufen.“ www.handelsblatt.com/politik/inte...

This is a welcome change from last One Manitoba Gala where the premier talked about how much he enjoys the LLMs www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Well done sir, they're calling it your best interview yet

In the good future, you can check out ebikes and these guys from the library.

Centrists on here will say, "oh you want to firebomb a Walmart? That pales in comparison to my strategy, voting" and then firebomb a Walmart

the best thing that we can do in this AI-slop-filled, influencer culture, fascist era is keep it real. make art. be authentic. lead with joy. tell the truth. we win.

The attack on education in the US is not new, but the slow fuse that arguably started with Reagan is now setting off detonations across K-12 and higher education that are going to be incredibly difficult to walk back if we don’t treat this like the urgent crisis it is.

Like the bible says: live by the sword, no worries

🧵Jack Mintz has a new piece in the Financial Post arguing that men in Canada are being discriminated against through federal research funding allocation and Canada Research Chair hiring quotas. @pinglamjoeip.bsky.social and I found this is simply misinformation.

JEWISH RUTGERS U STUDENT PROTESTS IDF SOLDIER: “When grandmother told me about the Holocaust and about ‘Never Again’. This is not ‘Never Again’. ‘Never Again’ means ‘Never Again’ for everybody.”

“Everybody needs to turn down the rhetoric.” -supporters of a guy who threatened to destroy an entire civilization of 90 million people

This feels wrong outside of Italy, this should be the world's longest spotted dick

ahahahahahahahahaha

Pretty basic bookshop/bakery/cafe/venue space with a science and politics lean, hosting knowledge translation events and leftist organizing and unions stuff (plus also a dog shelter in the back, where you could adopt a doggo or just hang out with them with your coffee and snack)

Drones went from a cool idea to a toy to a useful tool all without tech companies trying to push "drones in everything". This is how useful tech becomes commonplace.

A US soldier used classified info to win $400K on Polymarket. Three congressional candidates were fined for betting on themselves. Meanwhile, Trump’s whole family is all in on prediction markets.

Did the actors for this all forget their lines?

If these types of data centers consume this much energy then it is unethical to not see how flammable they are

What the fuck are we doing here

I hope everyone just gets a single rotisserie chicken each at the One Manitoba gala tonight

This should be done with all the essentials, food, housing, water, healthcare, privacy, dignity, wealth extraction from essentials isn't the only way, we don't have to tolerate it, everyone deserves these basics. When everyone has these things we all benefit, you don't need suffering for your joy

Unstoppable technology of the future still begging people to use it

I just don't see any benefits, particularly in primary school, but also in higher ed too Hoping very much to see more and more educational spaces take this opportunity www.oakland.edu/cetl/teachin...

Glad to hear it, and glad he acknowledges standard time is supported by medical experts, but BC and AB were goofs and kept DST. In this rare case, we need to follow SK. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
