I feel like part of the problem is that in the modern era, especially in the United States, people think that in order to count, they have to post about their activism or what they're doing. But here's the thing: you don't. 99% of what I do is stuff I never mention on social media.

Please share

This is my surprised face arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Omg this crab is just what I needed

now would be a real great time for someone to bring @clareblackwood.bsky.social’s Canadian late night show to broadcast

I mean... yeah.

OTTAWA show up!!

People legit yelled at me for 24 hours when I said it's extremely dumb to RSVP to a protest. Why hand your name over to a group organizing a protest/rally? Do you *want* to have to talk to the FBI? Treat anyone encouraging you to RSVP to a protest as a fed. End of.

Members of the President’s own family mocked the attack on Paul Pelosi by posting pics of underwear and a hammer. But god forbid you’re a comedian pointing out the truth about a white supremacist.

My kid, trying on his father’s fancy progressive transition lenses (3 different glasses in one!): Why wouldn’t you just get normal fucking glasses

eeeew

A new poll from Data for Progress found that “voters of all parties” are open to leftist policies, and that a majority of Democratic voters polled preferred democratic socialism to capitalism “when written definitions of each are read aloud to them.” Read more: www.teenvogue.com/story/gen-z-...

Happy Fall Theatre Season! Here are 10 artists basking in the spotlight on Toronto stages this season. Plus: win a pair of tickets to @jeremyoharris.bsky.social SLAVE PLAY, another big buzz show. www.goaheadsumi.com/10-theatre-a...

Holy hell.

We live in the worst timeline

Dunno guys, seems real bad

I've read (and written) a lot of bad 1st draft dialogue, when the writer is just trying to move the plot from point A to point B without much thought as to whether the words match the character, and there's a certain smell to it. Anyway let's put this clothespin on our noses and look at those texts!

Worth reading:

I’m leaving for a training thing soon that requires me to be entirely unplugged from my phone & the internet & current events for 2 full weeks. I’m going voluntarily! I’m looking forward to it! It’s going to be so weird! (Can you all please avoid actual apocalypse while I’m gone?)

Love a job listing that includes the key investors in the company. Why no I do not wish to work with/near/for Peter Thiel thank you very much.

Good morning, everyone. Please delete your Twitter account.

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

My teenager just told me I have to go outside and play with the other grownups or I’ll never make any new friends

Solid endorsement

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

Those at the “Canada 1st” anti-immigration rally are the SAME ppl who were a part of the anti-mask & anti-vaxx Freedom Convoy / #OttawaOccupation in Feb 2022 Anti-immigration, racism, white supremacy, #ableism & eugenics are interconnected Pls wear a mask in public if you care abt marginalized ppl

Massive anti hate crowd in the pits. Small Canada first group is on the run.

On September 13th, people in #Toronto are mobilizing against a far-Right anti-immigrant rally taking place at the center of a historic anti-fascist mobilization in the 1930s: Christie Pits. Check out background here: itsgoingdown.org/from-ember-8...

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

In DC in particular, Democrats have become very invested in a flattering self-image--they're "the adults on the room." But if you avoid forceful daily pushback, you're not the adult in the room. You're not IN the room. "If we did that, we'd never get anything done." Okay. What are you getting done?

What is the cosmetic procedure that causes people’s temples to embiggen like that? Is it fillers? I’ve clocked in on several celebrities and also the most-mentioned person in the news cycle right now.

NEW: Arkansas announced plans for a mega prison in a rural town. Since then, locals are organizing to stop it. At first they opposed it in their own town. But some now say they've taken a more critical look at how we incarcerate in the country. make time for this new feature, you won't regret it

"A majority of Brazil’s supreme court judges have voted to convict the country’s former president Jair Bolsonaro of plotting a military coup, leaving the far-right populist facing a decades-long sentence for leading the criminal conspiracy." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

I know it’s a typo. I know it’s a typo. But still.

I will repeatedly say this as someone who understands this concept well. It is ultimately cheaper and more productive to hire competent people and pay them well to do the job instead of having them take apart and completely redo the work of an incompetent person, or in this case, a shitty computer.

I have been a Canadian parent for thirteen years and change, and I have never found it easy to talk to my kids about America. And you know what? It might be easier if the “good” Americans understood the extent to which “talking to your kids about Anerica” is a daily problem for Canadian parents.

Pretty worrying that my kid’s shop teacher appears to be using ChatGPT to generate not only lesson plans but also POWER TOOL SAFETY QUIZZES His functions teacher is using AI to generate worksheets, so the word problems don’t make any sense. AI in education isn’t just about kids losing ability

I don't know if anyone in my circle can help with this, but even if you can't... pass it on.

Toronto folks:

Um I applied for a job and there was an option to opt out of AI review of my application. Is this awesome? Or did I just remove myself from the candidate pool.

If you are in class (1), you are in (relatively speaking) the best position. This is because you are still able to make a claim for statutory damages under US law, entitling you to recovery up to $150,000. I strongly urge writers of non-US works to get together and try to find class counsel.

I keep seeing kids in their late teens and early 20s romanticize the year 2016. “It’s 2016 and you’re listening to this song…” Guys, nobody liked 2016. Until 2020, it was considered one of the worst years anyone had ever seen. Everyone cool died. It was fucking miserable. Stop it.
