Hell yeah

Those of us who are SA survivors are used to the mass shrug in response to even the most overt evidence of horrific behavior. Epstein's crimes and the complicity of many influential figures involved have been known for decades (’05 to be exact). It's never mustered much interest or consequence.

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Oh yeah, no, for sure.

Nov 25 is the UN's Int'l Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Dec 6th is Canada's National Day of Action and Remembrance on Violence against Women in commemoration of the Montreal Massacre. Want to do something tangible to mark the dates? Let me teach you bystander intervention!

People can stand up. Good change is possible.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Stop using AI for placeholder assets. Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else. If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

This has gotten lost: Abigail Spanberger won big after vowing to RESCIND Glenn Youngkin's executive order directing local cooperation with ICE and voting AGAINST the anti-immigrant Laken Riley Act. Yet she gained bigly with working class. New piece laying this out: newrepublic.com/article/2030...

I love this.

Happy International Women's Day! A reminder that this specific screwup has now killed ~25 million people. A world that allows an influential, entitled, ignorant man to just shout down a smarter and more knowledgeable woman 👉can literally kill you.👈 www.wired.com/story/the-te...

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Fine info but the crucial details are: - 8 was exactly the number needed - None of the 8 are facing reelection in 2026 Those 8 voted yes so the others could safely vote no. Any Dem Senator not calling for Schumer to step down for this can be safely assumed to be in on it, regardless of their vote.

Mamdani created vision that shamed this cowardice: by having standards, and then showing everyone what his standards are, and then proving that he truly held those standards by standing for something without shame. This tapped into something powerful. www.the-reframe.com/the-extraord...

Social media being made by Canadian millionaires hoping to become Canadian billionaires with Canadian genAI. People, just start making your own websites again and bring back RSS

This would be so much more appealing if they weren’t using genAI. It’s such a huge turn off, the ethics are atrocious, it’s environmentally disastrous, and it communicates a real lack of respect for/awareness of the audience they’re hoping to attract.

BREAKING: A federal jury in Brooklyn awarded our clients — 674 immigrants unlawfully jailed by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office — $112 million. Could not be more proud to work at @latinojustice.bsky.social and to partner with the talent of Winston & Strawn.

It's not phrenology if the computer does it instead of humans. You are not allowed to ask where the data the computer trains on comes from.

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that? therumpus.net/2025/11/05/z...

Sound up for some joyful noise here

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

HELL YEAH

Let’s put 2+2 together: H5N1 Avian Flu that has been proven to be airborne & can present asymptomatically, has just been found to be transmitted human-to-human after years of believing it wasn’t. But we’re not cleaning the air in schools & workplaces, we’re cleaning the air in chicken farms instead?

Hell. Yes.

it's just too good

The live posting about the Sandwich Guy testimony is making my dayyy

Remember that time Dick Cheney shot a guy in the face and then the guy had to go on TV and apologise for how being shot in the face made Dick Cheny look bad?

I am so upset. Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

is this anything

Teen Vogue eliminated all their Black and trans staff today. It's resegregation in real time.

I'm wheezing

What the hell. This is terrible!

Hell yeah

…will avail itself of what? WILL AVAIL ITSELF OF WHAT

THISSSSS

Important thread. For a time, SAG rules around precautions meant ACTRA sets were also safe. SAG dropped their requirements, so ACTRA did too. I wish OSHA or WSIB or any workplace safety org or union would protect their workers. Unions, employers, and governments have demonstrated they won't.

You can't make this up.

After a few different prototypes, the Guardian, our most affordable air purifier, is finally ready. #IndoorAirQuality #CovidIsAirborne #AirPurifier 1/2

Ontario has stopped hosting the report of the SARS Commission. It looks like it is still available via archive-it, but this is a reminder of how vulnerable digital records that embarrass powerful people can be. wayback.archive-it.org/17275/202203...

Season’s Greetings

For no particular recession—uh—reason, I’m thinking about things that are free/very low cost that add value to my life. I know we all got sick of making bread in 2020, but you can literally capture yeast FROM THE AIR FOR FREE which is pretty cool so… www.goodhousekeeping.com/food-recipes...

This is how you do wash trading. All these companies are investing in each other paying each other bits of the same trillion dollars in order to make it look like they’re so close to AGI so investors will keep giving them money to lose. This is also known as a Junkie’s promise.

I love her so much

This man? Not actually related to the Tanners at all, yet they call him "Uncle Joey"

It’s true, I’m fantastic (He’s ok too)

The link between ABA and conversion therapy is that they’re the same thing, designed by the same guy.

This would have led to catastrophic new levels of homelessness — thank you to everyone who spoke out. Now let’s keep hammering the Ford government on its bad decisions about bike lanes, supervised consumption sites and speed cameras. www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/poli...
