Apologies. Posted the same clip on both posts. Here is the “FCC you” explanation from Colbert about WTf is going on: youtu.be/oh7DPSP65JA?...

And if you’re wondering “Why is there a blob in the back?” Well, that’s where the first woman president was supposed to go. More than a century later, it remains unsculpted.

There are concentration camps in the USA. People are being disappeared. One facility has 3,500 people, most of them children. Now, what are we going to do about it?!

Minnesota criminal investigators have again been denied access to evidence and other materials collected by federal authorities after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, state officials said Monday.

I'm sure this will be great for our mental health.

What in the world do they have on Rubio?

Normally this would be a 24/7 news story and instead it's like the 47th craziest thing happening right now.

Palantir CEO Alex Carp explains what he and Peter Thiel like to do for amusement.

Might try looking up this person's more in-depth work and some of the links in this rather fab little piece from the late great Teen Vogue: www.teenvogue.com/story/what-i...

Recent, from @cartersherman.bsky.social, with links:

This is an excellent analysis of the rot at the center of some elite academic networks.

This thread is the we are going to win thread, is the kids are alright thread, is the STOP ICE thread, is the civil society rising thread; read it through.

I kind of love this, actually. Where my LAVA peeps at!?

None of this is normal

Guys. Guys! What if the gender divide in the experience of imposter syndrome in the academy (with women overwhelming feeling not smart enough/good enough) is just an artifact of invisible systems… like this one…?

The Bullshit Jobs phenomenon exists for a reason (well many reasons).

The greatest threat Russia presents right now is that it gains more at the negotiation table than it has achieved on the battlefield. Russia’s maximalist demands cannot be met with a minimalist response. Extract of my speech at Munich Security Conference ↓

Meta is putting a "Name Tag" feature in Ray-Bans - facial recognition through the glasses' camera. You look at someone, AI tells you who they are. In an internal document, the company wrote that the timing is good because civil society groups are busy with politics and won't cause problems.

People ask how to make a viral social media post, and I regret to say the answer is this

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Fantastic overview of the health care system and how it compares to others. UCP don't really look at evidence before they do stuff, do they? #abpoli #ucp

A newly unsealed FBI interview shows an entire Deutsche Bank staff team internally tried to cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein in 2015, after seeing wires to young women. One compliance officer says she was later pushed out and fired after raising the issue. Management kept the accounts open.

President Zelenskyy: Ukraine didn’t choose this war& it's wrong to assume that this is a permanent arrangement that others can stay safe behind Ukraine forever.Ukrainians are people,not terminators.

The NYC Marriage Bureau really is a special place. The one marriage ceremony I've attended there was only a few minutes long, but the officiant (a retired judge, I think?) made it feel unrushed and meaningful. I've loved all my visits! It's the best for people-watching.

Tumbler Ridge Memorial service.🇨🇦 When we needed to show unity from coast to coast to coast to the community of Tumbler Ridge our Political leaders led the way! They all flew together, held hands, hugged and put politics aside. No posturing speeches. No blaming just sincere support. 💔 This is 🇨🇦

There are very few things ever written that have had an impact on me like this. I tear up just reading it. The first lines are the most well known, but the entire speech is remarkable and speaks to tyranny, cruelty & environmental degradation. I encourage you to read it in the link (it's short)

This Orwellian style permeates Rupert Murdoch's news world. We don't need to report the news, we simply make it up to match our slogans for the day.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

This action "is a ringing alarm bell warning all of us of the extent to which this administration has succeeded in degrading our governing institutions in such a short period of time." My statement progressivereform.org/cpr-blog/epa...

The Trump Admin is taking down signs at Nat'l Parks, the Northern Cheyenne Tribe is fighting back. Their Council passed a resolution opposing any changes to signage at the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument.

What women on the left already knew before the files came out is that men can imagine a world of class consciousness (Chomsky), a universe more expansive than ever before known (Hawking), a world where you can live forever (Attia) but not a world where women are fully human.

This is market in Odesa, Ukraine, today. Russia bombed it with drones. Crushed apples and broccoli, but you can still buy pumpkins or prunes with a view on destroyed pavilions, Oleksandra who did the photos shares. Drones also hit apartment building nearby and blown out window. But pls IOC, tell me

The dates align with two trips the group organized in October and November 2025 featuring: 1. Media personalities from True North / Juno, Western Standard and National Post 2. Canada's former Chief and Vice-Chief of Defence Staff, Stephen Harper's former national security adviser and Kevin Vuong

I discovered Israeli government procurement documents showing a Canadian group that's sending right-wing media personalities on free trips to Israel was granted funds from Israel's foreign ministry The funding came through an arm of the ministry focused on managing “public perception of Israel”

We are back for round two, with an absolutely amazing panel. You should watch - it will be like a great privacy rights podcast. #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #privacy #C4 #BillC4
