Linux is good now. The author had enough of Windows and Microsoft shenanigans. I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop www.pcgamer.com/software/lin...

This is extremely shameful.

It's journalistic malpractice to write a piece like this and not mention that Machado was a supporter of the 2002 US-backed coup against Chavez (after which he was re-elected to government). That's also the rationale for banning candidacy. Pretty important context actually!

Today I talked to a Venezuelan friend who told me the story of her 90 year old relative in Caracas waking up to her windows shaking and fears of being invaded by an erratic US president who's been killing people in the ocean for months. People Live outside of Miami.

Every year when I take the tree down I think of that Jewish proverb about the woman who's having marriage issues and her rabbi is like get a duck, goat, cow etc...and then ditch the lot of them and she's like: wow, life begins now! That's me. I'm just waiting to kick people out. See you next year

Carney’s weak response to Trump’s attempt at regime change at the behest of oil corporations is predictable. When a government like Carney’s and Eby’s—which cares only about enriching fossil fuel executives—are faced with the hard choices, they’ll choose corporate power over working people. #bcpoli

Early this morning, the U.S. bombed the capital of #Venezuela and forcibly captured President Nicolás #Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. We call on Congress and world leaders to stop U.S. regime change in Venezuela. Read more: afsc.org/newsroom/no-...

Solidarity to the people of Venezuela.

VicPD files an average of two use of force reports a day. And they use a weapon on someone, or threaten to use a weapon on someone, an average of once a day.

I kept an x account to spy on the dumpster fire, which made me feel like a spy... But now every time I look over there it's like looking into Sodom and Gomorrah and I'm like: will someone please smite this?

I have a funny X memory of 2025. After I wrote a story about a Conservative, anti-immigration TikToker, two RW media people asked to interview me and I said sure. 1/3

Cutting taxes by 1% up to $57k? bsky.app/profile/cyko...

Homelessness persists when policy resets every election. Proportional representation supports durable coalitions and long term investment. That stability is what makes real housing solutions possible.

The most racist film of the year was funded by taxpayers without their knowledge and promoted by Elon Musk and Rob Schneider. It's a Residential School denial film that cherry picks data, relies on anecdotes, and completely fabricates information

This is the best Holiday reflection, and as a cis-gendered dude who can't claim to have walked this, I really identified with the theological take.

Happy Zapatista uprising day. Another world is possible

Brodi speaking at We Unify is entirely on brand. #yyj

When elections are competitive everywhere, not just in a handful of swing ridings, people stay engaged. Proportional representation gives voters a reason to believe their participation matters.

The Anglican Diocese of Toronto has published some reflections by Anglicans who recently visited Palestine. www.toronto.anglican.ca/happening-no...

This is a totally normal college student today. Some proudly baseless anti-reality, some morally correct and rightly righteous anger, some religion they don’t actually care about but imagine they believe. This the norm now

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery delivers a poignant, personal story about the complex relationship between queerness and Catholicism.

End your year right with this gorgeous Lost Prophets episode on the great Catholic Worker founder Peter Maurin—prophet of "a world where it is easier to be good." www.lostprophets.org/p/3-peter-ma...

Die Hard is an Easter movie. Fight me.

My mom's HP printer has a cap on the number of pages she can print a month, on her own printer. The amount of ink isn't the limiting factor — the subscription is. Enshittification should be a capital offense.

Yeah, sure, I keep the Spirit of the season. But I also try and keep in mind the material conditions of that season.

You guys ever think about how he has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty?

Do you need some leftist Christmas content? Have we got the podcast for you! Start out with our convo about Richard Horsley's the liberation of Christmas open.spotify.com/episode/6bhP...

The Gospel Coalition’s Review of Jesus’ interaction with The Rich Young Ruler: “The Rich Young Ruler leaves Jesus as disinterested in Christianity as he was at the start. What he sees from Jesus is not compelling. It’s woke, corrupted, audience-pleasing justice Christianity, not true Christianity.”

"...but Google says I'm supposed to turn right."

Danh C. Vo, the 37-year-old founder of the now-defunct VBit Technologies Corp., was accused last week of misappropriating more than $48 million of investor funds in a nationwide scheme that affected 6,400 people.

Trump did lots of weird stuff in 2025. But if you ask me the biggest thing is killing around a million people. Several hundred thousand kids. Nobody really knows how many, and I doubt he even knows he did it at all www.cgdev.org/blog/update-...

It’s surprisingly common for students to openly admit (almost proudly) they did not read an assignment if already have strong opinions and don’t want to think. Happens whenever I assign stuff on reproductive choice or gender.

Once again I am insisting that GDP growth is not a good measure for economic health, and in a country whose GDP growth is currently being kept on life support by circular investment in AI, a transparent bubble and time bomb, that measure indicates an increasingly precarious situation.

People keep figuring this out. One by one we'll get there.

Anyone by chance a bored notary that wants to do a Power of Attorney today in Victoria? #yyj 😅

Brodie is in Phoenix for Turning Point USA's AmericaFest conference. This is a far-right gathering to further the MAGA cause. Billboard Chris regularly promotes MAGA swill, but Dallas Brodie is a BC politician who claims to fight for BC. Who funded Brodie's trip? Taxpayers?

It's so important we all learn about these groups and what their ideology is. They talk about "moving the Overton window" and having influence over Conservative parties.

This is not the Christmas story you ordered:

The BC Greens reject any amendments to weaken the Declaration Act. The work of reconciliation is complex, but that is precisely why we cannot weaken the framework designed to make it real. #bcpoli #UNDRIP READ MORE: bcgreens.ca/bc-greens-re...

Social media companies attempt to detect and remove this type of astroturfing for violating their inauthentic behavior policies, which is why Doublespeed uses a bank of phones to emulate the behavior of real users. @evystadium.bsky.social explains more here: www.404media.co/hack-reveals...
