Some thoughts on Zionism, ethnonatiinalism, and living as one.

Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning. The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc

"The Wildfire on Pipeline Road" You can't make this stuff up.

If you boil your eggs with cinnamon sticks, your home will smell like cinnamon and not eggs.

The Truth and The Lie take a bath

What a beautiful vision

Life is hard in part because half of it works better when you blow past your mistakes like they never happened, and the other half only works when you take responsibility for everything you screw up. I'm quite sure most of us spend a good decade or two of adulthood not knowing which is which.

Clarification: every vote gets counted. Not every vote counts. #cdnpoli

Who knows what's happening with the Conservative vote... However it's worth nothing that just because Tim Houston didn't endorse or campaign with Pollievre, doesn't mean the organization around the NS PC Party thats been built over the last ten years didn't show up for Conservative candidates.

Another 12 children were successfully returned home from Russian occupation. According to Daria Zarivna, advisor to the head of the Presidential Office, the occupying authorities threatened to take the children to an orphanage if they did not attend a Russian propaganda school⤵️

How someone can say things like this and then swear an oath of office after election baffles me... Perhaps it's not Canada he doesn't believe in, but the existence of meaning itself.

Birds in North End Halifax Captured yesterday.

There's gotta be a better way to do this than knocking down trees and homes... Riding transit in the summer months is brutal in part because of the time you spend waiting for buses in shadeless parts of town. Humans need shade! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Sleep deprivation has become a national health crisis in Ukraine, experts and psychologists say, citing near-nightly drone attacks as a key driver.

That is succinct. You might also say: power over.

Russian drone strike on a bus full of people in Marganets, Dnipropetrovsk region: nine people killed, 30 injured. People were going to work. Russian strikes on Ukrainian civilians do not stop.

"I want a death that the world will hear, an impact that will remain through time, and a timeless image that cannot be buried by time or place.” Killed just before her wedding with 10 members of her family, including her pregnant sister. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

The grey area between what we intuitively perceive as genuine footage and what is AI generated video is getting blurrier and if you read the comments section on those, it's terrifying.

I’ll vote for a Party Leader who can pronounce Musquodoboit correctly.

The events surrounding last night's leaders debate are a good reflection of the fumbling approach we've had to being a democratic country. We do okay despite the fumbles, but a system that excludes the Greens from debate and welcomes far-right activists as journalists is simply incoherent.

Steve Paikin runs a good debate.

Leaders Choice is a fun game for a debate.

Pollievre sounds like he's reading off a teleprompter.

In terms of debating style, Pollievre is the Mulcair of this debate. He’s nothing but heavily workshopped lines.

American exceptionalism is electing a pariah government so repugnant that it tanks the electoral prospects of aligned right wing governments across the entire anglosphere

I have no idea what it means, but Time After Time is one of the most beautiful songs.

This is organist Olena Kohut, killed today in Sumy by the Russian missile. Joseph Rheinberger, Visione, op. 156 no. 5 💔

One of the biggest mistakes we’re making right now is not recognizing how many wars without names have already begun.

I think Carney’s got it locked up.

Wow. What a tragic story.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

This is what happens when people speak up.

Throughout the federal election campaign, I am going to be looking at elections from Canada's past. Today, it is the 1891 election. The last election win for the Conservatives for two decades, it was also the last election for Sir John A. Macdonald. 🧵1/10

Political leaders in Canada are calling for more fossil fuel pipelines, removing environmental regulations, echoing Trump’s “drill drill drill” mantra … while claiming to be standing up to the creature. Did someone solve the climate crisis, halt ecosystem collapse, and forget to tell us?

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

NS Mi'kmaw chiefs "will not see [fracking] happen" on unceded and traditional territory.

Thought experiment for #cdnpoli watchers. Whenever anybody names an interest group/region of the country as in "how does this benefit Quebecers / Atlantic Canadians / Seniors / etc." Simply add the phrase 'ten generations from now' at the end of the sentence.
