“In my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” - Captain G.M. Gilbert, US Army

A note to Canadian parents: It’s Game 6 on Friday, so Halloween is over at 7:30 pm this year. If you show up at my door after then, I’m giving your children chewing tobacco.

GET THEIR ASSES

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

Holy shit, all of this is incredible, and it's short, go read it!!!!

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

PSA: if someone messages you out of nowhere or suggests commissioning them without you specifically asking for artists taking commissions, they're probably a scammer Been seeing a lot more of those around, so please be careful! I'll post some more info on spotting them in the replies!

hey guys, i know genai is really invasive and everywhere you look right now, and it sucks. but you want to know what's cool? you can just- not use it. like at all. for anything. you literally don't have to. no one is making you.

There’s no such thing as the “genuinely disabled” Disability is dynamic Some disabilities are invisible. Some change day to day You won’t always know a person is disabled unless they tell you It’s a minority group you can join at any time, not a moral failing.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

Tolkien understood masculinity to a level Elon Musk and fascist tech bros can NEVER understand. All the shit they do in Call of Duty he did for real in the mud and blood of the Western Front. He came out of that rejecting all of the macho bullshit they claim it teaches you. Fuck 'em.

25th Amendment, NOW

Opinion piece from March, but seems like a good time to pull it out again with Hoekstra acting like an ignorant PoS instead of a diplomat. As long as U.S. policy is one of annexation and domination, Hoekstra deserves to be treated as a hostile guest—not an ambassador worthy of distinction or trust.

The Toronto Board of Trade is now an oil and car lobby group: Ontario’s plan to ban bike lanes is ripped from the business lobby’s wish list breachmedia.ca/ontarios-pla... #TOpoli #onpoli

I mean IDK should we listen to Dr. Wang, a neuroscientist, or should we listen to RFK Jr., a shitbird?

I’m sick of sharing this link so help me bury the NIMBY opposition to cute neighbourhood shops! They just put a petition with a measly 209 signatures into the record to kill—not modify, kill—this small step towards maybe having corner stores again Let’s tell them what we want: c.org/fYSGWfvYJv

Almost 2/3 of Canadians want our government to recognize Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide. Yet our political class remains deeply out of sync. Why? Watch and read the report: www.jewishfaculty.ca/cija-report youtu.be/3-npbjwA5Qo?si=OY0Y7o8zxis-d2Jr #cdnpoli

This is an awful picture of some very pretty earrings I made years ago. I wish I’d kept them - or made some for myself!

It’s always amazing to me that so many endangered species have the word “common” in their name. Really hammers home how quickly these conservation crises can arise. These animals were common as recently as when we were naming stuff!

From an article about the man in the SS uniform arrested for attacking the woman in Georgia. Just wild that we've accepted that there's a huge social media platform where an account called "@GasChambers" is allowed to openly do Nazi fundraising and that's fine, in fact all the reporters post there.

One life eclipses another; Smilodon takes down a whitetail deer. Inspired by petroglyphs, cave art, and ancient Scythian art. It's weird to think that the whitetail deer survived the ice age and made it to the present but many of its predators did not. #art #smilodon #paleontology #rockart #deer

Scoop: The Trump admin's videos boasting triumphs on immigration have used misleading footage from months ago or thousands of miles away When we showed them the errors, DHS said they make a lot of videos and the White House said it'll keep making "banger memes" wapo.st/4nuDGwf

I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

I don’t know how we rationale folks are being shat on by fools. There is no way some of these premiers ought to be in office, yet the Right always gets out to vote, while the lefties are waiting for their skipthedishes 🤯 Ford was elected in Untario with about 17% of the electorate.

Luna?

I've started reporting CBC and CTV videos on YouTube that feature Pierre Poilievre as "Misinformation". If these two want to push their conservative bullshit down my throat, I am going to continue to report it! I can't recall one time that PP has told the real truth anyway!

This is an extremely important point. Every bit of anti-science BS erodes the public's ability to discern fact from fiction. And now we have anti-vaxxers and climate science deniers and more running the government.

As we wait for news of the devastation in Jamaica and Cuba, a reminder that leaving vulnerable SIDS nations to cope with climate change themselves while already overburdened by debt is unacceptable #melissa www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/c...

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com
