Woke up with no heat, went to bed and had a pipe burst in the empty unit above us. What a day.

Chappell Roan is leaving her talent agency led by Casey Wasserman after he appeared in the Epstein files.

The first Canadian military engagement on foreign soil was John A MacDonald sending Canadian troops to help the Belgians colonize The Congo, including aspiring character from Blood Meridian, William Grant-Stairs, who is still commemorated at various Canadian military institutions.

Yeah this is one of those things that just has to stay in your mind whenever you cover RCMP

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

I have had minor sinus surgery and this sent a chill into my soul 🥳

So this is batshit right

The whole thread is horrendous but the blatant anti-Muslim hate and brutality on display here is disgusting.

I have exclusively seen only leftists talking about it.

Racial and cultural pluralism are read as left-wing, and these are the spaces most closely associated with that in the public sphere.

Check out a podcast episode we did about CBC's measles coverage. Spoiler: it's Not Great. public-health-is-dead.simplecast.com/episodes/pub...

this may be a radical take BUT I think we should proceed cautiously with the rushed integration of half-cooked automation into problematic business sectors in a broadly-corrupt country without functional regulatory oversight

Prime Minister Carney, silence is not an option when Trump attacks sovereign nations in the Americas. Canadians expect you to stand up for human rights, international law, and against the bullying of smaller nations by a rampaging superpower.

People who have been begging for drafts are just gonna be doing shit like this

i think maybe they laid off the wrong people

The United States - with acquiescence and support from Canada and other allies - is seeking to murder millions of Cubans and destroy the Revolution that has carried and embodied so many of our aspirations for a just world. This is effectively genocide and must be stopped.

Ahhh R.B. Bennett. The fascist loving millionaire who built work camps. Men working for room, board and 20 cents a day under the supervision of the military and guarded by the RCMP (p.9-10 of this pdf).

"Because the bomb would be cheaper than drilling a deep well, the search for an economically feasible method of extracting the oil seemed to be at an end." ????? WHAT

mine is that the pre-CSIS RCMP spent an order of magnitude more resources post WWII nfiltrating labour, leftists, and yes, holocaust survivors, than literal neonazis and other fascists

What's your favourite Canada fact? Mine is that the RCMP bombed an oil site in Alberta in 1998 "with the full support of the energy company that owned it" and blamed a farmer for it.

Trump-linked officials are quietly backing a right-wing push to make oil-rich Alberta secede from Canada, holding repeated meetings with separatist leaders who see independence as a way to expand fossil fuel extraction.

People hate sex workers so much they entirely ignore the role they can play in our struggle. They understand exploitation, the ruling class and the state in ways the average person doesn't. They have large followings, and many are politically active. They are our allies.

Canada totally meddles in other countries’ business and constantly undermines democratic processes. #cdnpoli

this is literally going to strongarm every queer user into giving info after they declared every single lgbtq+ server to be "adult servers" years ago. so now it's literally give us your info or lose access to your communities and resources. fuck you discord.

Hmmmmmmmmm

Any Canadian who has been to Cuba could tell you the warmth and humour of the people there. Canada is not a benevolent ally to Cuba but our the relationship between our countries is being thrown away without a second thought. It's truly disgraceful.

one chatbot told a participant in this study to go lay down in the dark when he was presenting with a brain hemorrhage... what are we even doing www.404media.co/chatbots-hea...

It’s darkly funny how Ontario has had a malevolent oaf constantly embroiled in scandal leading the province for nearly 10 years and one of the main reasons he’s unstoppable is because this is our opposition.

“Luddites were slandered as being anti-tech, we should be critical of tech and push back against it to make applications productive for human dignity.” Okay agreed but I actually think we should go back to like 70s era technology. Phones, newspapers, no 24/7 news channels. I am a firm believer.

I've said it before and I'll say it again and I will never stop saying it: this is not justice. This is not accountability. This is cruelty.

Centrist Dems fight back with right-wing, Reagan-era economics

“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English” my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

Signal remains undefeated.

This will seriously disrupt aid getting into the county. Any country that even wants to pretend to care about Cuba and sovereignty needs to bring jet fuel to Cuba immediately

Woke up with the heating in our apartment broken. In other words I am become cold. Thank goodness we had a heated blanket otherwise we would have been fucked.

Me when the bunny is bad idk I don’t watch football

It’s moments like this I wish I liked popular music because you all seem to be having a blast.

The right-wing outrage machine is working overtime on Bad Bunny’s performance cause they need to continually act like the aggrieved party. Whatever actual feelings they have about it is secondary to the performative anger about it. These people are pathetic.

Yo no lo vi el Bad Bunny halftime concierto pero yo siento la musica en mi idoma ahora.

I’ve seen better Owls than this. I think Superb is a little uncritical imo.

Been watching Sahara (1943) and it’s phenomenal but there’s weird race politics (unsurprisingly). You’re telling me a Black British Sudanese soldier joined a group with an American from Texas and a white guy from South Africa and I’m supposed to believe the captured Nazi is the only racist one?

Vaguely remembering BeetleBorgs, a Power Ranger ripoff that had a ghost in a haunted house grant kids the wish to become comic book heroes and also they have to talk to the creator for help.

Two years ago today one of the best throwback punk albums dropped: “What A Fucking Nightmare” by The Chisel. If you’re into 1980s ragers then it’s a must listen.

This is really the critical point: Firefox is packing its browser with AI slop functions by default; relying on a user actively choosing to turn it off. That isn't neutral - that is a political and ideological statement that they want more reliance on these tools

I’m currently at ~40,000 words in my book; most of which will probably be re-written at some point. Anyway my point is my writing is improving through this process. If I could generate a book in a day it would be incredibly shitty with no incentive to hone my work. Just a system of garbage.

Hard not to sound like a conspiracy theorist nowadays.

This just happened with the pronoun labeler being deleted

The left is not immune to grifting, folks.

For reference the Eglinton LRT began construction the same year Jack Layton died and it just opened today. I was 17.
