From selling off our critical public infrastructure, to gutting the public service, to subsidizing foreign petrochemical companies and now this - a regulatory and financial gift to the most pathetic 'innovation' in tech - the Carney government is damaging our country in ways that may never be fixed

RIP john blanche, one of the greatest to ever do it

Happy Pride 🌈

An interview with Jeff Parker about his storied residency at ETA, his experience collaborating with Flea, music’s unknowable ability to change the mood of a room, the influence of Wayne Shorter, and his latest, "Happy Today." By the great @chrisrichards.bsky.social www.powmag.net/p/jeff-parke...

NEW: I wrote about Alberta’s referendum within a referendum for Jacobin. jacobin.com/2026/05/smit...

This is extremely cool and interesting

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

We’re drifting toward an unambiguous military aggression against Iran, with the intention of overthrowing its regime, and the treatment of it in US politics is somewhere between normalization and avoidance.

Organizing works! This is a win for public pressure, and a message about the moral clarity Canadians want from politics right now. Now we need legislation to ban all Canadian companies from contracting with ICE or otherwise supporting Trump's kidnapping and deportation machine. dub.sh/cfwOL

If you, like me, think it's absolutely insane and unacceptable that a Canadian company is supplying the Gestapo with vehicles, find your MP here and send them an email and ask them what they plan to do about it. www.ourcommons.ca/members/en

Mark Carney's speech yesterday was one that mattered, going further than most other leaders would be willing to in calling out the falsehoods in our international system. Yet it was also riven with hypocrisy and perpetuates a disconnect between words and actions. open.substack.com/pub/orbitpol...

Literally the only sane response to the circumstances we find ourselves in (and not just the US...)

love the headline beautifully blunt

LOUDER AND MEANER

One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com

Hits the nail on the head about our present moment: "We have a race-to-the-bottom neoliberal politics fighting over fewer and fewer principles, with a well-sealed Overton window spanning from those who could get a job at Goldman Sachs and those who want one but aren’t qualified."

Musk has a long history of getting away with things others would not. After a year of becoming openly fascist, contributing to the deaths of hundreds of thousands, and now enabling the proliferation of child pornography, that must end. Ban X. Put Musk behind bars. disconnect.blog/elon-musks-x...

Really, ChatGPT is just giving you a luxury experience that is normally only accessible to the rich and powerful -- the experience of filling your life with butt-kissing and sycophancy until you completely lose touch with reality.

Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

Looking to spread some yuletide cheer with my new song “Big Nick Christmas”

Carney really is a sack of shit who doesn't give a damn about the future.

Honored to be featured on the freshly-relaunched @aftermath.site with this new piece! It's about AI and Fascism, and also the beloved Y2K-era teen comedy Mean Girls.

This awful crypto nerd is genuinely trying to harm this city. Please support @copevancouver.bsky.social and others in their fight to get Sim and the rest of the ABC out of city hall

Hi Bluesky 👋 Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

Could have increased taxation on the rich but instead, he chose to sunset important programs and dump millions and millions into AI - a piece of tech that we're all expecting to bust any minute. The way Carney's budget has tanked morale in the city of Ottawa is a sight to behold, let me tell ya!

Traveling the world on behalf of wealthy corporations while tabling legislation to expand government surveillance and control at home. This guy really can do it all www.greenpeace.org/canada/en/st...

I was hoping to get this story out earlier BUT Today Premier Eby said passing Bill 31 is "non-negotiable." "I would stake our government on it," he told reporters If you want to know more about what's so important Eby is willing to call an elxn if he can't get it done, maybe read this #bcpoli

these guys have been clearly, openly warning you about a bubble (they created) that's going to cause mass economic upheaval next year they're getting lean not because AI is so great, they're getting lean because they know the check is coming due for their bad choices across AI and authoritarianism

This sure looks like a way of pushing staff to quit Remember, the city is also quietly offering "voluntary separation packages" with unspecified incentives as the mayor demands 0% property tax increase More great work by my friend @isabellazavarise.bsky.social www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Joel Quenneville's return to Chicago last night might be the final time that the Brad Aldrich story is at the forefront of the hockey world's minds. But we should never forget what we're moving on from. My column: www.nytimes.com/athletic/673...

in the annals of silicon valley startup pivots, "ok, fine, you can fuck the superintelligence" is one of the very funniest

To Carney, "Elbows up" means buying American jets, building a pipeline to sell our oil to the US, joining a US missile defence system, opening our markets to more American dairy, and kissing the American president's ass at every opportunity. This is what you voted for, is it?

For what little it’s worth, I took a few minutes to try and tell the government how stupid and harmful this all is (and you can too).

ye see this shits not inevitable never give up in advance

Mskwaasin Agnew (Dene/Cree, Salt River First Nation) was among the humanitarians on board Conscience that was illegally boarded by Israel in international waters. We are asking everyone to contact the Canadian Government (email addresses & phone numbers on the poster) #EyesOnGaza #EndGazaBlockade

Once again begging the NDP (along with the Liberals) to ponder the question “if this is how you treat labour, why should anyone bother to vote for you?”. Conservative Lite yet again invalidating its reason for existence.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

“Elbows up”, right??? I don’t think anyone voted for Carney thinking he was going to be great, but most voters specifically voted AGAINST this sort of debasement and humiliation.

So Hulk Hogan, why are you a great candidate for the Administrative Assistant position? Hulk Hogan:

Jordan Peterson has somehow come down with a crippling combination of consumption, Dutch elm disease, "wandering scrotum" and zebra mussels. He is being shipped via barge to a "health palace" in Macedonia where he will be submerged in Windex

he's trying to make a distinction between "trump is a fascist" and "the u.s. is fascist now" and there's something to that, but you'll never see a bright line in real life (and plenty of fascist stuff is happening, just w/ insufficient state capacity) so it's not a particularly worthwhile argument

it’s really good when “technology of the future” treats you leaving as if you were leaving a cult

This is a really good and accessible write up of what the recent bluesky drama is all about

CEO: we're all trying to improve this place You: so you're gonna kick out the guy who keeps trying to kill me, right CEO: You: You're gonna kick out the guy who has literally helped kiwifarms target me personally, right CEO: WAFFLES

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.
