hell yeah

When the Jays win, we’ll take Seattle. And we’d welcome Portland too. You know, since it’s a “war zone...” #GoJaysGo #TeamCanada

On World Mental Health Day, I'm thinking of everyone who is struggling right now. If the world feels heavy, know that you don't carry its weight alone. If all you do today is exist, it's ok. You are loved. You matter. Your mental health matters. And I'm so grateful you're here.

I think what's impressive about TRON is that, visually, it's still so much more interesting than any of it's sequels. It's crazy that they tried update this digital world by making it as 'realistically rendered' as possible. It's a complete misunderstanding of the original's charm.

A master class from MIT in responding to authoritarian overreach: Your “premise … is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone. … America’s leadership in science & innovation depends on independent thinking & open competition for excellence.

this is correct. and while you would get a nontrivial one off sum from a billionaire tax (not enough for a welfare state, but a lot), the ongoing point of that tax would be prevent billionaires from existing

Imagine not only “losing” the Nobel Peace Prize, but also being specifically sub-tweeted by the decision-makers for your efforts to destroy democracy. Trump loses big. Congratulations Nobel Committee, well played.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

Wait, so the original Jesus isn’t returning?

Years ago I was teaching my gun history class and at the end of the quarter one of the students said that he was in the campus TPUSA chapter and they put him up to taking the class to spy on me but he felt bad about that because he loved the class and learned a lot and had a great time

Who?

“Reporters, take note: there are zero mainstream articles pointing out that the White House now considers birth control a form of abortion.” @jessicavalenti.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/jessica/...

so the frog is 卖娃青蛙。https://m.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_23101624 it was designed by a mom with the last name Tong in Nanjing, inspired by the toad in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calabas.... it is a mascot of 躺平culture (lay-flat, against capitalism)

White people are producing mass shooters at an incredible clip, and this is what they’re trying to do about it.

synapsid has had an even worse time with housing than i have this year. she's an absolute sweetheart (and sorely missed from the tl). if you have some cash spare then please help get her of the situation she's in 🩷

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

"Lost Science" Like ... I dunno man. Have you checked in with your paper's anti-trans science reporters who helped create this situation or?

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

got away from that landlord but ended up homeless again. Wisp went to live with someone in another state where she'd be safe and have a consistent roof over her head, so most of the time it's just been me by myself

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened. This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

Oh shit, they arrested Maria Von Trapp?

Toronto.

The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.

Richard Scarry: Fury Road

My health was going to pieces before a tweet thread led me getting a diagnosis of ADHD. Saved my life. Of course, then came the autism discovery and all the other stuff, but hey, I’m still here.

Yes. Fuck yes. It kept me alive, back when dialup was king. It kept me connected to loved ones. Taught things media never mentioned. Found family and friends and lovers and bitter enemies. It humbled me. Vaulted me to new heights. Showed where I'd been, what was possible. And it helped me find Andi.

people say to me all the time mr president mr president please, will you eat this lindbergh baby, and i say no you're not al- well i'm allowed i could eat the baby maybe later i'll eat the baby but- baby, what an interesting word, baby, you never hear about babies anymore, unless you're eating them

“I’m not dying. God isn’t done with me.” Awww. God bless and keep you, Dolly 🙏🏼❤️

I listened to SCOTUS arguments about the ban on “conversion therapy” yesterday. Both the right wing layers and justices ignored a crucial fact: kids are forced into it by parents. I explain why they’re hiding this. www.salon.com/2025/10/08/s...

This is how you know I never took steroids, then. I was shaped like Wile E Coyote on leg vitamins. On not quite such a large dose of leg vitamins, anyway.

Paris is an example of a city who took things seriously and started making changes immediately. Doing targeted changes quickly and cheaply. Then going in and upgrading areas which needed improvements to handle the changes which emerged

Dolly Parton singing “I Will Always Love You,” posted four days ago on her TikTok:

Dolly Parton on September 28th: “…God hasn't said anything about stopping yet. But, I believe He is telling me to slow down right now so l can be ready for more big adventures with all of you.”

Duchamp Flies, by Carmen Cicero, 2009, 📸 by Frank Franklin II

Fay Wray was almost 7 when Archduke Franz Ferdinand II was assassinated and she could also have listened to the first Franz Ferdinand album.

Never forget that Dolly Parton gave a million bucks for covid research at the *very start* of the pandemic—including money that helped fund the development of the Moderna vaccine.

Cis friends and allies: Do you see how "biological" is simply a slur when used by transphobes to demean trans people? "Birth name" is a term we already have (not that that would be any more defensible, just less insane-sounding). "Biological" here is solely a dog-whistling cudgel against trans ppl

Jays pinch hitting while up 5 in the 3rd inning is the most killer instinct move a Toronto team has shown since Darcy Tucker tried to fight the entirety of Ottawa's bench.

Hey guys I found the man in white

John Schneider reads my texts

Oh yeah, the *other* guy hitting .700….

My friend Matt Inman made a great comic about AI…

HOW THE FUCK DO I HAVE MORE FOLLOWERS THAN THE GUY WHO MAKES FOXTROT You should all follow him.

Do you think my friends are getting tired of me blurting out things like “I am going to beat IKF to death with my bare hands” in the middle of the Bachelor in Paradise finale

I think more people should be aware of how much cool stuff Link does in real life. He’s not just a poster.

lol it’s this guy

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
