Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

On 🌎 Green Majority🌎 ep989 the panel discuss the latest in Canadian climate news then Emily Alfred of the Toronto Environmental Alliance talks about the new recycling regime being implemented in Ontario. www.greenmajority.ca/the-podcast/... 🔶

The main flaw in the argument that the Nazis were socialists is that it’s hinged upon believing what a Nazi tells you about themselves

Not being even vaguely sarcastic: At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

this should be the standard across Canada

Wikipedia is worth $10/month because if it dies so does reliable knowledge. Cough up if you can -- it's cheaper, more interesting and morally superior to Netflix.

ChatGPT gave a significant portion of my students the wrong answer to an easy quiz question that everyone used to always get right I had two groups of students turn in annotated bibliographies that were ChatGPT generated - not a single citation actually existed

New analysis of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first 100 days after the federal election show oil and gas, mining and other industrial groups made up about 60 per cent of lobbying records. Environmental groups couldn’t get a word in. thenarwhal.ca/carney-natur...

In “timing” tonight Maggie Helwig’s book Encampment, very critical of city + local councillor Saxe, won the Toronto Book Award & tomorrow the city is evicting the encampment at her church. Epic timing.

This is the road where people are driving 154 km/h. A residential area with young families on one side, a park on the other. And yet for some reason, people are clocking Autobahn speeds here. A few years ago a guy doing 100 killed an elderly couple. 1,500 crashes on this stretch in the past decade

First sentence says it all: "Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed legislation that would have required data centers to report how much water they use." Read the rest of the story though. from @ianjames.bsky.social: www.latimes.com/environment/...

every young Republican staffer is a Nazi, it's that simple www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Very bad: OSU unilaterally cancelled the registration of grad students attending the joint conference of the National Society of Black Physicists and the National Society of Hispanic Physicists. And OSU won't fund recruiting at the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science.

Precisely the person Justice Kavanaugh said would not be inconvenienced.

This seems bad. Is there a dufferent economy I can be in instead?

A Pickering councillor has been suspended without pay seven times. I went through the integrity commissioner reports each time she was suspended. Here's what I found:

Hard to find a more obvious example of the journalism adage “If someone says it’s raining outside and someone else says it isn’t, your job is not to quote them both, your job is to go outside.”

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

Doug Wilson co-authored a (plagiarized) book that defended the institution of slavery *as it was practiced in the antebellum South*. This is how Douthat introduced the subject while providing him with the NYT's platform:

Curious if folks are getting the impression that those around them are unaware antifa is not an org? We know this admin is dead set on pretending it is & many media are uncritically perpetuating that. Feels like we’re watching an elite disinfo campaign move in both a rapid and absurdist fashion.

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency @heatmap.news

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them. They should feel bad.

Piping plovers — tiny, lively and endangered birds — have visited Wasaga Beach every summer since 2007. But things may be changing — and what happens here could be a sign of what’s to come elsewhere in Ontario. #endangeredspecies #wasagabeach

Nope. NopeNopeNope

Vladdy: "DAAAAAA YANKEES LOSE!"

This is the kind of free-thinking, hard-hitting journalism they're going to be getting at CBS soon.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Who didn't know he would fail this easy test!

from elbows up to warm embrace. it’s a betrayal of he told canadians to expect from him.

The banker whose only selling point is being “prudent” has cut revenue and promised to increase spending on a bunch of war toys. But don’t worry I’m sure not getting your mail delivered to your house and having a chat bot deny your EI will fix this budget in no time

very cool that if you are working on behalf of right-wing culture warriors, you no longer need standing to have your claim adjudicated by the supreme court

There's plenty of complexity to the story of Ian Roberts, the Black Iowa superintendent arrested by ICE. But the way the @nytimes.com chose to frame this article is racist and shameful. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/05/u...

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

More shit for the Ontario voter to eat. Eat it up yum.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

They were never serious... A global banking group - Net-Zero Banking Alliance - that Prime Minister Mark Carney helped launch in 2021 to fight climate change has voted to shut down. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/03/n...

This conversation on how media adds to obstruction on climate action by @amywestervelt.bsky.social with @aronczyk.bsky.social and @maxboykoff.bsky.social is really good

As the provincial government looks at banning automated speed cameras, a new report shows that vehicles belonging to cabinet ministers have been regularly caught by automated speed cameras, in some cases going 30kph over the speed limit.

They’re all the same.

There are lots of more glaring and physically brutal basic violations of rights going on but it’s weird how ICE just seems to be freely stealing and wrecking people’s possessions too

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

Bill 212 is arbitrary and reckless, but it does NOT block every new bike lane project in Toronto or anywhere in Ontario. And to date no municipality has been prescribed to require provincial approval, not even Toronto despite the (now unconstitutional) attempts to remove Bloor, Yonge, University.

Today and everyday is a good time to stand up for Grassy Narrows. you.leadnow.ca/petitions/me...

This is a wonderful articulation of how it feels to be a Black person in white spaces, who for reasons of safety has to "laugh along with their own humiliation." This man is a very successful lawyer and will never be safe from it so imagine everyone else. Our identity is inherently political. 💔

We need to know what we're up against. Listen to this excellent interview with the authors of a new book on #climate obstruction from @drilledmedia.bsky.social. Very relevant to those of us in the petro-state of so-called Canada. Looking forward to reading it.
