Don't privatize public services, nationalize private ones.

Totally shameful. Soon there will be nothing left.

Someone (other than the driver) could have been killed (by the driver). www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

Occupation by another name

I get the sentiment here but the reality is that *every driver* is a rule breaker. They all hate traffic cameras because they are all at risk of getting caught because they all break the rules regularly.

People use fascism loosely to speak of that which they dislike, but the term has a meaning. Most reductively: cult of personality; nationalism; eroticized violence, internal enemies, purity myths, politicized gender.

Every damn time.

I sometimes wish we lived in one of those societies where people felt so much shame that they offed themselves. Alas they just retire early and go live at the cottage full-time.

How unsurprising, how thoroughly predictable that the total skidmark who owns a vehicle that can do *this* is an out-and-out homophobe. cc @arieltroster.com

No one should be surprised this is where Abundance™️ went.

I went back to university in my early 30s and, let me tell you, I felt very very old. Relative to one's classmates in their late teens and early 20s, one feels, and indeed is, old. Charlie Kirk, at 31, was not a youth. He was a weird geezer who creepily preferred to be around children.

My fix for the home affordability crisis in Ottawa is to move the federal government to Churchill.

this is actually my great frustration of walking around in new york.

I'm generally a fan of my city councilor but she got quite annoyed at me when I asked basically "why is this taking so long?" The answer, it turns out, is that the genius minds at the City were trying to plot something exceptionally convoluted and I was just like "chuck down curbs and call it a day"

STOP HOLDING TEENY TINY MICROPHONES UP TO YOUR FACE. THEY'RE DESIGNED TO BE UNOBTRUSIVELY CLIPPED ON TO YOUR CLOTHING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!

We've all been like "we need bike lanes on Gladstone!" for like 15 years and the reason we haven't got any is because the City was trying to figure out the most complicated, costly, and inconvenient way to do it so the drivers and small business owners wouldn't get upset.

You’ll be shocked to hear that Loomer is wrong — not a single country imposes a death penalty for unauthorized entry maint.loc.gov/law/help/ill...

Protected intersections are also an insane mess. Laurier at Kent is better than Laurier at Bay and it's not close.

I'm just going to say it. I hate cycletracks. Give me a bike lane at road level with curbs separating me from the cars. Anything else is a godforsaken mess.

Recognition of State of Palestine by Canada, France, UK etc is not only performative it is dangerous. It doesnt commit to ending genocide or implementing arms embargo and sanctions. Plus, explicitly calls for demilitarization of Palestine and disarming resistance. Reviving Oslo is not an option!

Get these American freaks off my fucking television! @cbcnews.ca

Telling that Charlie Kirk’s memorial is getting approximately the same amount of coverage in Canadian news media, if not more, as the death of Brian Mulroney.

In rambling eulogy, US President rejects grieving widow’s plea to follow Jesus Christ’s example and love one another

We are soooo fucked. Canadian media is no better equipped to deal with fascism and hate than their American counterparts.

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

White South Africans would have been thrilled with a two-state solution. But the world saw that for what it was: the culmination of apartheid, not the end of it.

The two-state solution is not the only, or even the most likely, way to ensure peace. One, equal, democratic state is a much more just option.

If you demand the demilitarization of the State of Palestine and not also the State of Israel, what you're talking about is capitulation, not peace.

@rachelgilmore.bsky.social they mentioned you on the wired podcast uncanny Valley

Y'all realize, of course, that if they do this successfully, there's absolutely nothing stopping them from listing gay people, Black people, or people under 5'6" as violent extremists, right? This lets them brand entire demographics as terrorists under FBI labeling if it is not stopped.

I assume this is obvious, but I’ll say it anyway: The advantage of proscribing a non-existent organisation is that no one can prove they don’t belong to it.

A good time to start funding your local antifas.

I'm very curious to see if @ezraklein.bsky.social will issue a mea culpa on this or if he will pull a Matt Yglesias and double down, declaring everyone else wrong and stupid in the process.

Redeploy suburban capital cleaner-uppers to downtown so they can clean up the mess their low taxes have caused.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

Seems bad.

Kirk's murder is not an assassination. Assassination is a word that has a specific legal meaning as well as an accepted colloquial meaning. The killer will be charged with murder. Not assassination. Stop calling it that.

The building housing Herb & Spice is up for sale. Commercial real estate is a scam. I hope they can survive the change in ownership. cc @arieltroster.com @tedraymond.bsky.social

Did @yasirnaqvicdn.bsky.social applaud the fascist?

Okay fine, we can turn down the temperature. All the way down to, like, 4 degrees Kelvin.

Everything is so so so very stupid.

The Kirk hagiography combined with the claims about how powerful and influential he was are making him seem like he was almost certainly in line for the presidency when Trump dies. So in that sense you can easily see why a time traveller would show up to kill him while we was still a baby.

Fired for literally just quoting Kirk’s public words, with no additional commentary. “To quote Kirk is to dishonor him” is such a wild claim. (See also its corollary: all the pundits praising him never quote him.) The political press corps has been making its brokenness so absolutely clear.

I call this self-inflicted bothsidesism. I do not have to tolerate hearing someone say trans people should be put to death. But the person who says that MUST tolerate me saying trans people should be free to live their lives. Why? BECAUSE THESE ARE NOT EQUAL SPEECH ACTS. His is evil. Mine is good.

The USA has entirely lost the plot. Failed state. Shut it down.

M☆G☆doesn't want to be your ally. There are plenty of other people to organize alongside. You aren't going to persuade them. It seems that this needs to be said.

I guess the rule is, you can call Kirk a nazi, but only if you mean it as a compliment.

If a man with a large platform says the person you love is subhuman and should be killed, well, you do what you gotta do to protect your person.
