It should go without saying that the disclosure of personal demographic information that was promised confidentiality to a government committee by the Tri-Council would be the most fundamental breach of ethics and pose a genuine danger to the safety of Canadian researchers.

"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

My Grandma, who passed away in March at age 100, was a longtime Blue Jays fan. I am choosing to take the Jays making the World Series as a sign!

To echo the chorus a bit: some really talented folks are involved in the Vertigo relaunch, and I’m sure some of the books will be good, but there’s pretty much nothing there that promises to be as new or transgressive as a GFM-penned horror comic would have been.

No shade to any of the Vertigo relaunch writers, but this is what the lineup looks like with me no longer in it, lol.

I gotta say, it's a bit rich relaunching Vertigo, "Comics! They're not just for kids!", after being lily livered cowards who hurled a trans writer under the bus for making a Kirk joke.

The new issue of our journal is out now! It’s been a long road but I think this issue is a really special contribution thanks to the hard work of our outstanding contributors and of the guest editors, Hugo Ljungbäck and Christian Balistreri.

DC comics planting their flag on the moral high ground on the side of a white nationalist, transphobe while dutifully carrying on his rotten work in the firing of Gretchen Felker-Martin. The characters of the DC universe would find this despicable.

it's boycott time if you have the courage of your convictions.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

Fuck DC Comics. I think it’s worth noting that there was already a campaign to fire Gretchen Felker-Martin over her support for Palestinians. I have to imagine someone in the company was itching to fire her and the Kirk comment was just a useful pretext.

It’s actually pathetic to apply to college, get accepted, pay to be there, and then try to stop your professor from teaching you because you’re such a huge fan of authoritarianism. Even more pathetic to record your professor to get them fired.

Glad to see I wasn’t the only one this gave pause to. I suspect (hope?) this is just a thoughtlessly conceived tease for a later storyline but seeing this page in a mainstream comic published at this moment was appalling. How did no one involved think twice about the optics here?

TIFF opening every film with a land acknowledgement only to screen Israeli propaganda propping up a genocide

Breaking the treaties is the oldest con in confederation. Mark Carney decided that going after First Nation rights is top of the agenda for pushing pipelines. People voted for him to be the anti-MAGA MAPLE, not to steal their playbook. My latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/meanwhile-...

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him. Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

I have my reservations about The Brutalist (some elements, like the arc of Felicity Jones’ character, are underdeveloped/insufficiently thought-out), and I can understand the argument that it’s a bad movie elevated by a few impressive elements (though I don’t agree).

trade war btwn imperialist allies (US & Canada) is means to use economic nationalism to rally behind otherwise status-quo. struggle between 'foreign' & 'domestic' capital maintains capitalism, hurts ppl through price gouging, reinforces racist nationalism & intensifies extraction on Indigenous lands

This is a horrifying story and I can’t help but wonder about the chilling effect it/other stories like it will have on speech in Canadian universities. So many of us in the Canadian academy have family/friends/professional opportunities in the US. How many will now think twice before speaking out?

Regarding the discourse of the day: from a utilitarian perspective, I appreciate the power of an easy narrative to mobilize people. However, the settler-colonial nation-state is not, cannot be, and will never be the horizon for any egalitarian politics.

Like all prisoners, Peltier should be released. And his trial was bullshit. But he played a role in the death of Annie Mae Aquash and protects her killers, so I am not looking forward to all the fawning about to take place. www.aptnnews.ca/national-new...

I spent most of my adult life watching schools say they can't expel professors for sexually assaulting and harassing students and colleagues only to see how quickly they react over social media posts against genocide

It's interesting how much of the American reactionary response post 10/2023 has been: 1) This isn't an instance of colonialism; how dare you suggest the connection; 2) European & British colonization --the paradigm cases-- were good actually.

cannot overstate the degree to which i am negatively polarized against nimbys. like, if you go to a public meeting to speak against lower cost housing i think the city should eminent domain your house and your house specifically

disclose it to me, so I don't waste my precious time on earth reading something you couldn't even be bothered to write. foh with this shit

Fuck I think we totally forgot that part in Dune Pt. 2 about not falling for charismatic violent folk heroes fueled by vengeance who look like Timothee Chalamet in a hoodie

Always fun when your institution makes international news

obsessed with the absolutely correct idea that a man who’s one known characteristic is killing a man could be milkshake ducked

Robin Hood will get milkshake ducked and turn out to be some kind of unhinged accelerationist or something, but for now, each new piece of information is riveting

They’re often getting deleted by social media platforms but the UnitedHealth CEO murder ballad is definitely a genre now online.
