The TV and film industry and its professionals need to take a stand on this. Drop panels, pull support, and let them know that this is unacceptable from an organization that is supposed to celebrate human artistic achievement.

Of course @margaretatwood.bsky.social is correct. She's Canadian. ❤️🇨🇦

Margaret Atwood had it right. ‘Men are afraid of being laughed at. Women are afraid of being killed’.

It's three weeks after the deadline to release the Epstein files.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Currently in the middle of book 2 of this, and I already cannot recommend it enough. When I read I tend to hear each character’s voice in my head. And Mrs. Egerton’s voice (to me) is absolutely Susan Rigvava-Dumas in her role as Danvers in the Rebecca musical.

I'm sorry, but no, it wasn't released to be exculpatory. It was a recruitment tool, and until we all accept that heinous and horrifying reality, we will continue to fumble in the dark without meaningful resistance.

This, combined with him *moving to the front of the car* and then reaching for, if not actually unholstering, his weapon before Good even begins moving forward deminstrates that the intention to shoot was not reactive to a threat posed by the vehicle

#Canada Let's get these numbers up! I just signed and the # is 9306 signatures. Let's tell our gov't we want Canadian owned and operated media here, not foreign owned PostMedia. Just click the links, easy peasy.

Signed. Hope my fellow #Canadians will do so as well - keep foreign (ahem U.S. especially) owned media from impacting our understanding of the world around us. #FactOverFiction #NegateTheHate #CanadasReality www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

After the US admin cancelled the $B Climate + Weather Disaster dataset, @climatecentral.org hired the scientists who ran it and set it back up. Now the 2025 numbers are in: it's 3rd highest year on record and highest year w/o land-falling hurricanes. More: www.climatecentral.org/climate-serv...

why hasn't any single media org in Canada asked Evan Solomon about CP on Grok

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

Left-leaning Americans on Bluesky go apeshit when I say this, but I'm saying it again. I get it, YOU didn't vote for him. But we non-Americans don't really care. The rest of the world has no legal standing to stop him. Only you Americans can. He's your guy, your responsibility. Do something. Please.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

IMHO US dominance in sci/tech has been as a result of money, immigration, and policy. With all three of those things gone, the world will now notice that Asia has been exceeding the West on many fronts for several years now.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

When oil and tech CEOs are in the loop about his plans to invade a sovereign nation and Congress isn’t, that’s all you need to know about the legitimacy of his actions.

It's gonna get crazier because it's still not working.

Donald Trump has made it clear that he is nothing more than a klepto-gangster. The threat is clear. We know what is at stake. Canadians will defend our sovereignty.

This new war is not only illegal, reckless and deeply corrupt, it is the latest in a series of increasingly desperate distractions from the EPSTEIN Files. #ImpeachAndConvict47NOW

If we can capture another country's president, can another country come and capture ours? Asking for a friend.

This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

Ex-Meta chief AI scientist Yann LeCun has Lunch with the FT and in one of those instances so rare that you know he didn't sign an NDA, says exactly why as.ft.com/r/e503690d-8...

This man's media team is a bunch of goddamned geniuses, someone scouted for locations and figured out they could set up this very shot. Look at it, it's incredible. Look up pics of Adams being sworn in at the ball drop, which look chaotic, cheap, and undignified in comparison.

Trump and the wealthy will continue dismantling democracy and increase surveillance and oppression while the GOP embraces overt Nazism. They’ll wreck any remaining standard of living and any protections I think 2026 is the year our grief turns to rage. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/living-in-...

I’ve started the new year with a new author, the first in this list … and so far, yes, it has increased my angry feelings towards all the men😉

You have been warned about the peril. 👀

"How to be an Indie Author for Fun (and Not Profit)"

The Chief Public Health Officer of Ontario is criminally negligent. It's costing everyone their lives and their livelihoods.

COVID, influenza etc are airborne, transmitted in bioaerosols that require routine wear of N95 / FFP2/3 respirators and high-quality ventilation to stop. If your hospital doesn't have both, the people making those decisions either don't care if you get infected, or are nearly a century out of date.

Apparently I'm doing this -- my open letter to that open latter about AI in writing and publishing. I emerged from Hibernation Week to write it, so god only knows how much sense it makes. But at least a human wrote it, so that's nice. Bonus: picture of my "cat," sweet baby Boomba.

People need to stop saying, "This is not who we are." This is exactly who we are, and we need to stop being that.

One of the things I need to add to this is that you need to be careful about people NOT IN YOUR INDUSTRY reading your contract. A good lawyer who understands contract but is not a publishing industry professional will flag for you that there are things they don't understand!

Welcome back to Canada, President Zelenskyy. Today in Halifax, we committed critical new support to help Ukraine end Russia’s war of aggression, and to recover and rebuild. When peace comes — and it will come — Canada will be there for the Ukrainian people. Slava Ukraini. 🇨🇦🇺🇦
