I love how AI's bubble is about to burst and Canada is like, "Let's pour all our money into AI and also make Evan Solomon in charge."

Today was supposed to be a rest day before a marathon of busyness. Instead we shopped our closets and donated a trunk worth of clothes (accumulated over 5 & 10+ years). Aaaand now I have 10,000+ steps. Oops.

How Wellness and Beauty Influencers Can Be Part of an Alt-Right Pipeline for Teen Girls The "womanosphere" is coming for teen girls.

Cars might work fine in California or Florida, but they’re not practical here in Canada. We have winter.

still fleshing out this theory (pun intended, I guess?) but there is so much magical and symbolic thinking going on when people talk about "nutrition" people seem to food as a source of not just potential biological contagion, but social, and, even weirder, symbolic contagion via sympathetic magic

There's a Kurtzgezagt video on this (www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-K7...). Every illness damages your body. The body makes repairs but it will never be the way it was before. A big reason you are aging better than your grandparents did is because vaccines saved your from illness aging you as a child.

This sponge brain is the dragon we can’t beat, huh?

What is WITH people randomly destroying trees in this city?! It’s the FOREST CITY. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Mmm I retweeted something that was meant as a memorial. But it was from an account I am unsure of the motives of. Sorry if I offended by removing the reshare (Or by sharing it in the first place)

The beautiful chaos of a used bookstore is unmatched.

This is more horrifying than the haunted corn maze I did with friends a few weeks back 😳

GET. SHIT. DONE. 😆🙌

This is really grim. But have you ever had to park your car half a block further than you wanted to? www.cbsnews.com/news/dolphin...

not really anything novel to add to the openai article circulating right now, but it does make me feel absolutely sick to read it. devils walk the earth and sell us death. true death, and also the death of our planet, of curiosity, trust, community, individuality, silence, and boredom. it has to end

They call this women’s work Name it a “craft” because it cannot be an art Belittle the motions as that of grannies sitting idly in their rockers with nothing better to do 1/2

I think with one trillion dollars I would just start buying land and giving it back to Native people. It would be working towards righting historical injustice, and at the same time would irritate the shit out of all the worst people.

Never not thinking about how many bikes can be fit into each vehicle parking spot I see.

With credit to a lifelong, non-social media pal who passed this along, a visualization of what neoNazi apartheid boy Elon Musk’s $trillion pay packet would look like. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

A surefire way for me to hurt myself is to receive …not even a task, but an expectation, one that I realize is unreasonable and is going to hurt me. Because once I realize that, I will meet it out of spite, destroying myself in the process to prove it was unreasonable. But I’m being unreasonable.

This seems to be a popular choice for playing music on bike rides. Anyone want to support or argue against? ca.jbl.com/en_CA/GO-4.h...

Milo has something to say, and he feels strongly about it.

Of course.

Closing a car lane for construction: "We are bringing in 300 workers in the middle of the night so that the road is only closed for 12 hours". Drivers still furious. Closing a sidewalk or bike lane for construction: "We're taking the whole block for the summer for our workers to park in"

This feels straight out of a dystopian novel. I think I read one like this. Something about people having barcodes on their bodies and the political parties being named after the mega corp that owns them.

It’s funny working at a business where you were a customer first; I didn’t remember this, but apparently we bought this babe of a trike on our eldest’s birthday 😆. It’s fitting because she really secured our curiosity in cargo bikes ❤️

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

you can win without billionaires supporting you you can win without party leadership endorsing you you can win unapologetically standing with every persecuted minority pundits say are too politically toxic to touch we could do everything about this process differently if we wanted to

Living for the reshares of hope and victory this morning. Let’s hope this is a turn around point and Canada isn’t too delayed in following it. We can demand better. We can care for each other. And we can demand a government enable and support this!

The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line. 1/

From bitter experience, capitalism will cheat, bribe, set traps, and flood the zone with stories of 'ordinary people's dissatisfaction'. This win is a beautiful and hopeful thing and the energy that drove it must be kept up now. He'll need your support even more now. Hold the line. 2/

He'll make mistakes and be imperfect but when it's sabotage, name it loudly. Don't let people forget who is really screwing them. The robber barons can't abide hope. So hope. Remember what tonight feels like and keep it alight. Keep showing up when they screw with buses and zoning. Hold the line. 3/

“We won because we insisted that politics is no longer something that is done to us. Now it is something we do.” Every single word of this Mamdani speech is fucking fire.

Trans rights is a winning platform. Pro immigration is a winning platform. Taxing the rich is a winning platform. Affordable housing is a winning platform. Free childcare is a winning platform. Hating Andrew Cuomo is a winning platform. SOCIALISM IS A WINNING PLATFORM

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution. The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

Story of my life: in-building neighbour with kid in same grade as mine leaves at the same time as me with my kids on the cargo bike, him and his kiddo in his giant F-150 type truck. Yet he gets home as the same time as I do 🤷🏼‍♀️.

Today Elections Alberta requested $13.5 million to be able to administer recalls and referendum. The UCP committee in charge revised their request to just over $1 million. And then voted it through. The UCP just defunded recall/referendum. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I can't disagree with any of this, except to say it's not even really about the money, per se: the bosses will happily nuke a perfectly profitable enterprise just because they don't like it, understand it, or think it should exist

Yall this is so messed up… Alberta… I don’t even know what to say

No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?

ON THE LITERAL EVE OF A DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST MAYOR BEING ELECTED, ANNA WINTOUR KILLS PROGRESSIVE AND PROFITABLE TEEN VOGUE POLITICS DESK WHICH HAD JUST INTERVIEWED HIM *That’s* the headline. (Unfortunately there’s hardly any news outlet left to run it 😭)

This magazine just fired all of their politics staffers

The year is 2025, and I still can't believe the position people I've never met should have access to food, healthcare, housing, and not be terrorized in the street is somehow controversial.

I fundamentally disagree with its existence. It's a net negative. It makes the world a worse place, measurably. There is no "ethical" use of generative AI.

Some things I’ve been eating.

Many months in the reporting - my investigation into Amazon warehouses is finally live today. A huge thank you to the workers and others who spoke to me, on and off the record. inews.co.uk/news/human-c...

$5M in Shein stock is crazy. to put it in perspective, a child would have to work three billion hours in a Shein factory to earn a 1/10000th of this

Extreme wealth inequality is killing planet Earth, and hijacking political power so as to be allowed continue. This is the most important thing to understand right now.

It’s only been a week and my craving for something high fat to eat is off the charts. I just want a piece of fried chicken and some french fries. But do I want to pay the price of lying in bed for an hour with nausea so bad I could faint… 😞 sigh.
