A man who publicly was doing something which, when done wrong, can cause graft-vs-host disease, an autoimmune disease which can attack, among other things, your GI tract, now has an autoimmune disease which is attacking his GI tract. What a coincidence.

While scientists have long braced for climate change, the growing severity of its impacts is shocking them. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Trump is watching the Fox News feed of himself watching Fox News

HAHAHAHA DUMBASSES CAN'T EVEN GET ON THE TRAIN RIGHT 😂

almost like communism v. capitalism is a tired rhetorical distraction from what actually matters: human/civil rights, the distribution of power, and how state power can be exercised/checked

There are a billion reasons this guy is a danger to humanity.

Doing some homework, breaking down an old episode of Roger Ramjet. Exactly 110 scenes for a 4-minute short (or "shots" if you're a live-action person).

Canada, let’s say this is downtown Vancouver. Or Montreal. Ottawa. Halifax. Israel isn’t being attacked. They signed a peace treaty. Pretend this is your neighbourhood. And the world…doesn’t stop them

1,000 days of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians. 1,000 days of genocidal complicity. 1,000 days of escalating BDS pressure. Boycott, divest and sanction. Until Israel’s genocide ends. Until Palestine is free.

The stage is falling apart at the rehearsal for Freedom 250's July 4th celebration.

Intercity Transit in Washington state rolled out a “zero-fare” pilot program in 2020. One longtime rider said the model brought social equality to her neighbourhood. “It means everyone has the same opportunity for transit as everyone else.” thetyee.ca/WhatWorks/20...

“Weird Al” Yankovic turned down a highly paid commercial after learning it involved AI: “Oh, no. I can’t be the poster boy for AI. Forget it.”

we talked to employees at multiple companies that are pumping the brakes on AI because it's so expensive to use www.404media.co/companies-ar...

GOOD

Carney’s flight to Edmonton, where he’d hear Danielle Smith’s pipeline plan pitch, is grounded due to extreme weather —which is exacerbated by the climate crisis that pipeline plan would worsen 🤗 WHEEEEEEEEEE WHAT A WORLD

Here's an older ink & watercolour sketch of #FrankBottom (plus a wee #BarbAFella squeezed in). For a while I drew Frank's jaw blocky like this; it kinda works sometimes depending on the expression. I really love bright colours.

Happy Canada Day! We recorded an episode today to help guide you in you Canada Day celebrations -- why do our elites care so little about Canadian culture and sport? It will be the demise of survival as a country if keep going down this path. sandyandnora.com/episode-381-...

NEW BLOG FOR YOU Google's energy consumption numbers in their new climate report are mind-blowing. 2 years ago they flipped from linear to exponential growth, and their climate impact is blowing out, too. A WILD testament to the obscene bloat and waste of GenAI: ketanjoshi.co/2026/07/01/g...

Our Prime Minister wants to build even more pipelines.

We’re currently fighting an initiative in Washington State that has genital exams as part of the enforcement mechanism. www.kuow.org/stories/tran...

"A 2024 study estimated that nearly one-fourth of people with disabilities in the U.S. live in inaccessible buildings with no elevator and at least one flight of stairs, making it much more difficult — if not impossible — to participate in the community." - @racheldl.bsky.social shorturl.at/MMTZC

At a time when Palestinians continue to face Israel’s genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing & illegal occupation, & when Israel’s US-enabled wars of aggression are massacring thousands in Lebanon & Iran, Congress is proposing giving Israel the key to even more financial, military & tech support.

New bill in US Congress proposes unprecedented merger between US and Israeli military industries. Now is the time to escalate BDS campaigns to push for a comprehensive two-way US military embargo and lawful sanctions on Israel.

“Google’s aiding of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians exposes company and its leadership to potential legal liability.” Abolitionist Law Center, Center for Constitutional Rights, and Tech Justice Law notify Google’s leadership in historic move of legal accountability.

I think a lot of the online anti trans politics was a byproduct of the attention economy for influencers. It brought attention, clout, followers etc. to be vocally and visibly transphobic. Now that transphobia is so widely accepted again, it's the opposite now and chuds are doing this for attention

I’m totally crying

"I was discharged from the rehab facility with a SARS-CoV-2 infection I’d caught there...not long after, I lost my job of four years working in homeless services..[and] became trapped in my inaccessible home, no longer able to walk or climb stairs." thesicktimes.org/2026/06/26/i...

Let me tell you bad it is when people don't have control over their reproductive autonomy, and the state does: mitpress.mit.edu/978026253842...

Is Mini Mamdani in the room with us now

“included owning a “printing press” used to print anarchist zines and being part of a leftist book club […] All eight of the defendants sentenced so far have received unusually harsh sentences – 30 to 100 years – essentially life in prison.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

An American just got sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for moving “Antifa” zines and there’s about 1000x as much media coverage of Trump’s reflecting pool 👍

And in order to run our mini-empires we’re directed to use platforms like Substack, Patreon, OnlyFans, etc… who all take a predatory percentage, like a landlord or digital pimp. And voila: Technofeudalism!

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

"I don't think we've done — myself included — a particularly good job of rolling this out." you don't say

Conveniently right before they're supposed to give writers whose books they stole what is proportionally a rumpled five dollar bill the writer has to split with their publisher

VAAM 2026 artists list and map PART 1a 💫 See you all at the Russian Hall, Vancouver on July 19th from 12-5 PM! @supersailorsewing.bsky.social potentialforart.carrd.co diesel-punk.carrd.co

Earlier this month I was laid off from my contract job when the game my coworkers and I were on was cancelled a few days before being announced. We're all freelancers in different countries with no legal rights, but we still got together, organized, and managed to win a full month of severance pay.

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

In 2012, Canadian scientists held a protest in Ottawa against Harper's cuts to federal science, plans to close research facilities, and muzzling of government scientists on climate. Carney is proving to be far worse than Harper in decimating federal science on climate and environment. 🧵 🔗

“This manifesto is not a left wing document. It’s a reactionary document that correctly identifies some of society’s problems, completely misdiagnoses other problems and then leaps right past social movement organizing and into violent revolutionary tactics to try and LARP a solution.”

Children were "labelled as fighters even after (age confirmed) - held alongside adults in Israeli military and prison facilities." Subjected to "beatings, prolonged blindfolding, attacks by dogs, electric shocks, forced nudity and sexual assault, including rape and threats of rape." #OpDeathEaters

LNG Canada wants B.C.’s energy regulator to increase its flaring limit tenfold for the next three years. If approved, the new limit would allow the company to continually flare up to 300 tonnes of gas per day, an increase from its current limit of 28 tonnes per day. thetyee.ca/News/2026/06...

Proof of @readtheorchard.org's theory that there are no good Mulroneys.

Over 1,100 people have signed our petition asking for a pause on generative AI and chatbots in schools. We have emailed the BC Ministry of Education and Child Care multiple times, with no response. The more signatures we get, the harder it is for them to ignore us. Please sign and share 🙏

If the Reflecting Pool water gets any nastier, RFK Jr. will start bottling it and forcing it to be served to children with all school lunches.

So Good To See! Finally, Some Who Are NOT In the Epstein Files… RELEASE THE FILES!

"trans existence is criminalized", in the UK. The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention has spoken. www.lemkininstitute.com/statements-n...

What a surprise ….. “Is AI ruining our skills? Early results are in — and they’re not good Reliance on artificial-intelligence tools degrades the abilities of physicians and software engineers, studies show.” www.nature.com/articles/d41...

"Cycliste" Oui, mais non. Un enfant

There's a potential for transformative change in how trans people are seen, a chance to go from being poor little born this way pity cases to heroes and leaders in the world that emerges after the husk of our old order is burned out by hate.
