If you want to understand power in Canada try driving down bloor street right now (She already had a funeral in England because that is literally where her family lives, when they‘re not in Florida)

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity. And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

A reminder that Ford has repeatedly used or threatened to use the Notwithstanding Clause to undermine democracy by: - Limiting third party election advertising - Slashing Toronto City Council mid-election - Undermining education workers' labour rights - Evicting encampments - Removing bike lanes

In today's news, people are really disappointed Mark Carney didn't poke the rabid racoon with a stick.

To be fair, who among us hasn't been caught doing 70 in a 40 when we were running a little late for a ribbon cutting at a new private healthcare clinic or to pick up a bag of donations from real estate developers?

Doing some back of the napkin math on the Free Press acquisition, I've determined The Onion is worth $2 trillion.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

The great thing about building routines involving the TTC is thet they'll just cancel streetcar routes for months on end. I live in the middle of the biggest city in the country and I am Ubering to the gym. 🤦‍♂️

Thugs.

"When authoritarian regimes broadcast their messages, we're threatened from the outside. But we would be naive not to see what's happening internally, we're turning inward. We're doubting ourselves. We're not so sure about this democracy." Meanwhile: www.dw.com/en/czech-rep...

Great. Now let’s find out where the $4 billion in pandemic funds went.

RCMP says they'll get back to the Doug Ford Greenbelt investigation right after they've finished the delightful deli platter the Premier's office sent over.

My very favorite Jane Goodall story is about how she befriended Gary Larson after he made a mildly offensive comic about her:

This is the actual reason it is fun to have a big account

I don’t think that’s the goal. The goal is to undermine belief in objective truth, so they can provide people with manufactured truth that serves their goals. Nothing original here…this is straight up George Orwell They don’t GAF about illness or death as long as it doesn’t impact them or theirs

Astoundingly poor governance in Alberta. Who would have thought, in 2025, that we’d have governments in Canada that are actively pro-disease www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/5f2c11f...

You know, I could’ve been a General too. Probably would’ve made a great General. Maybe the best General ever. But I had casinos and hotels to bankrupt. Takes a lot of great leadership. Bankrupting a casino. I did four. So I guess I’m a little like a four-star General that way.

ok, this is bad but also why does he have the same crazy-eyes my cat has after it poops, just before it runs up the stairs?

But also we’re terrified of the subway

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

We're just now dealing with the ramifications of social media being utilized to dismantle democracy and set up a surveillance state. I have no idea how these new powerful generative AI video models will help destroy reality and thus society. I'm so pessimistic about all of this.

2 October 1936 | Czech Jewish girl, Anita Brandeisová, was born in Prague. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt ghetto on 28 October 1944. She was murdered in a gas chamber after the arrival selection. --- Gas chambers and crematoria of Auschwitz: https://youtu.be/-A05i25j9Ck

ADL, long drifting right, then galloping, still couldn’t keep up. This right after they’d betrayed all Jews (says this Jew) by whitewashing Turning Point’s antisemitism to appease Trump admin. You know, the govt that claims it’s fighting antisemitism.

this is basically portland's version of a haka

Does Speaker #MikeJohnson have a #Grindr Account? 🤷🏽‍♀️ www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/u...

Hi lovely @bsky.app friends. Just wanted to alert you that for (non bad) work reasons my account is going to go dark for a while. Be kind, take care of each other, and see you soon.

If and when normal "rule of law" returns, any federal employee who follows this MAGA instruction would be vulnerable to prosecution under the Hatch Act. ("If and when" doing a lot of work here.) www.wired.com/story/govern...

The United States is "actively trying to dismantle" today's system of international justice. @fborello.bsky.social and @agnescallamard.bsky.social discuss how US sanctions against Palestinian rights orgs and ICC and UN officials puts rights at risk globally:

🤌🏼 Incendiary anti-immigration politics ends when there’s nobody to serve the Wagyu beef. Perfecto. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

I am begging comedians to understand that "Hitting both sides equally" doesn't mean you're avoiding politics. That's literally the opposite of what that means. If you host a late night show and want to "keep your head down," quit and make room for someone who doesn't. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Just having a moment reflecting on what a ridiculous state we're in, where the president is making "deals" with private universities by personally meddling in federally allocated education and research funding and this is being treated as just ordinary politics.

Mike Johnson on the shutdown: "It can provide an opportunity to downside the scope and scale of government, which is something that we've always wanted to do. So in a way Chuck Schumer has now handed the keys to the kingdom the executive branch under President Trump."

This, but just about every definition, is fascism. The only question now is whether everyone lets it continue. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

I’m a sewage system. I also have a great personality.

For those who may not get the reference: "Fat Man" and "Little Boy" were the names of the 2 atomic bombs dropped on Japan at the end of WWII.

Brilliant takedown of #PierrePoilievre by Adam van Koeverden. “Earlier this year when the leader of the Conservative Party lost his job he didn’t lose his house. That’s because he lives in government subsidized non market housing.” …yet PP always opposes such assistance for others. #cdnpoli

On #TruthAndReconciliationDay, a reminder that age standardized Covid mortality was as recorded at ~4.5× higher for First Nations & ~1.5× for Métis vs non-Indigenous in Canada And this pandemic is not over www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quo...

important article highlighting the continuing benefit to both mother and newborn of vaccinating pregnant women against Covid. The US under RFK Jr just stopped recommending vax for pregnant women. The UK has withdrawn vax for pregnant women too - I think both are very stupid decisions.
