Hellllll yeahhhhhhhhh

Just finished watching Send Help and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a movie that would have been SO much better had it been written by a woman. So painfully obvious that a man wrote it. Holy shit. Spoiler in my reply to myself here:

This dude is such an evil piece of shit. SSRIs are the only things that actually helped my OCD diagnosis and related panic attacks. This would kill people. He is a monster.

Oh my god. Oh my fucking god.

I’d also suggest this part of the story seems, um, quite revealing!!

Oh my god. What the fuck does that even MEAN Danielle!!! Seriously! Define it babe

“We like to imagine we are immune somehow from whatever it is that has torn the American polity apart so violently over the past 10 years, that what is happening there could never happen here. I promise you it can. In Alberta, it already is.” Essential read here from Richard:

Do you get health and wellness info from social media? Well, according to a new report from Pew Research Centre, you’re not alone. But who are these influencers, and what are their credentials? Who is turning to influencers, and why? What Pew found was really interesting — and a bit worrying:

Why not both?????

Mannnnn caring about the outcome of a Sport is not for the weak

My latest in @thewalrus.ca examines the patchwork obfuscation the government has used to deflect, deny and avoid answering questions about Canada’s role in the U.S. - Israeli war on Iran: thewalrus.ca/ottawa-says-...

I posted about this earlier today, but @rachelgilmore.bsky.social provides more information and critique. If you don't follow her you should. :-) Again, I say that those of us who research areas that intersect with Trump's politics (conspiracies, religion, populism, hate/extremism) pay attention

A CANADIAN Trump critic is suing the U.S. administration to stop them from getting his personal data from Google. After the user posted criticism about federal agents killing protesters, DHS asked Google for his associated names, addresses, phone numbers, credit card and bank information. Yikes:

Ben Shapiro is coming to Canada (soon!) as part of a conference “against antizionism.” The depth of human cruelty required to put on this kind of conference is pretty incredible. Particularly when you contrast it against the eyewitness accounts of those living through Israel's genocide in Gaza:

CELEBRATE BY FORCING FLORIDA TO APPRENDRE FRANÇAIS RON DÉSANTICE, TU ES NOTRE BITCH

LET’S GOOOOOOOOO LES BOYS WAOAOOAOAOAOOOOA

A PENALTY?!?!??!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

SEE I TOLD YOU HAHAHAGSGAHAGAG

(Me, who can barely skate) now THAT’S how you play hockey!!!!!!

Finally lmao. Wow

Montreal’s collective blood pressure just spiked Sacrament

TW: SA Every time I try to get back into hockey after being a SERIOUS fan years back, I think of the Hockey Canada shit. So. Has anyone compiled a list of which hockey teams have players accused of sexual assault? I would like to make sure I never cheer for them THANKS 😌

I think Space Song by Beach House might be one of the best songs ever made

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I find it incredibly telling when men like Dawkins are convinced that the LLMs are ‘intelligent’ because it ‘agrees’ with them or tells them how insightful or clever they are

“The response shouldn't be to…doubly punish victims who are already victimized by the harassment…,by then forcing them to make themselves smaller” @rachelgilmore.bsky.social “Nearly 1/2of female journalists &media wrkrs said they self-censor on soc media due to online violence—an ⬆️from 30%in 2020”🧪

Really appreciate Natalie reaching out for this important piece:

Ottawa! This is tonight ✨ the book is incredible — powerful and devastating. Really looking forward to this conversation with Yasuko. Tickets here: writersfestival.org/events/sprin...

Huge kudos to Jen for thinking of victims of domestic violence and putting their safety above all. Not all journalists would get a scoop like this and sit on it, choosing instead to try to protect the vulnerable first. It’s so gross that Elections Alberta then did jack shit about it for a MONTH.

Because all the dumbest things happen in Alberta first, paying attention to Alberta gives you oracle-like powers elsewhere. This is my reminder to you to read @readtheorchard.org’s Kenneyism and preorder his upcoming book on Danielle Smith.

I can’t stop thinking about how much this leak is likely terrifying so many vulnerable people in Alberta. The idea of a non-zero chance abusers, stalkers, and harassers may have seen your address…it’s really horrifying. Thinking of you today.

Christ. First the whole province gets doxxed and now this Oilers game…have YOU checked on your Albertan friends today?

NEW: My full dispatch for @nationalobserver.com from a very hectic day in Alberta politics www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/30/n...

Anytime you feel down on yourself, remember: at least you’ve never doxxed a whole province ❤️

David Parker has released a statement from the Centurion Project, in which he says people accessing the database “did not have access to phone numbers or emails.” He did NOT say they didn’t have access to “addresses.” Probably because they did. So uh, yeah.

To clarify on “legally obtained,” the list was initially legally obtained by the separatist Alberta Republican Party. THEN that information ~somehow~ ended up in the hands of other separatists with the Centurion Project, who published it as a searchable database for anyone who signed up (INSANE)

Annnnnnnd the Alberta RCMP is investigating. Holy shit

The separatists in Alberta apparently published a searchable database with the private information — including names and addresses — of almost three million people in Alberta. Holy fucking shit. For context, the population of Alberta is just over 5 million people. Here's what we know:

I need you to understand how FUCKING INSANE this story Jeremy broke is. The separatists legally obtained Alberta electoral data....and then proceeded to PUBLISH IT AS A SEARCHABLE DATABASE WITH THE NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF OVER HALF OF THE POPULATION OF THE PROVINCE OF ALBERTA!!!!!

SCOOP: I attended the launch of David Parker’s Centurion Project last night. I happened to step outside when an Elections Alberta investigator and the cops arrived. open.substack.com/pub/theorcha...

The latest from threads: I am now right wing for including a LABOUR ECONOMIST in my piece that’s critical of Carney’s privatization push. I am crying. Open the schools babe

HAhahahhahahahahHAHHAhhahhahahahahahaha

Canada’s wealth gap is the widest it’s been in StatCan’s recorded history. You’d think Carney would focus on that -- not privatization. In fact, “Carney’s policies will only make inequality even worse," @dtcochrane.bsky.social, a senior economist with the Canadian Labour Congress, told me. Uh oh:

EXCLUSIVE: DND admits Canadians working in organization responsible for Op. Southern Spear DND acknowledged my previous reporting and admits Canadian personnel are working in SOUTHCOM and JIATF-South, but deny our involvement in Op. Southern Spear itself. My latest: substack.com/@thestateoft...

I want to talk about the subtle ways people online can influence how you and others around you think. Because I’ve noticed a trend. Not only is actually pretty smart, but it seems to help accounts gain influence over online conversations — for better or for worse worse:

Pierre Poilievre gives one on ones to this person. He was with her at the UFC fight in Winnipeg. She spoke at the Conservative Party convention. And she is defending Neo Nazis who threatened and intimidated a journalist. Great friends you've got there, Pierre!

Please god tell me this is Alex Jones’ ACTUAL son DMing me at 1:11am to ask “why do you hate my father” LMAO
