So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

Oh god THIS. Or teaching admin meetings went from 1.5 to 2 with inevitable overrun. And now we're going to have to do training on how to put words into a text box or sorry I mean usher in the ai productivity revolution.

Meetings went from 45 minutes to 60 and nobody even remembers...

Nobody point out that our workloads skyrocketed because of the lockdowns, student support ramped up massively, and it has stayed that way.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

On the one hand, this is the cringest of white nationalism, but on the other, I have to appreciate them going out of their way to set us up for the Scouring

We have two dominant visions for digital tech: one from major corporations that maximizes profit at any cost, and another based on cyberlibertarian ideals that assumes you must code to participate in society. We need another: where the public sector builds and funds tech for the broad public good.

Calling it now: the US political media's treatment of AOC is going to make their treatment of Hillary Clinton or Al Gore look like a model of balance and discretion.

The City of Calgary won an international award for its pedestrian strategy, Step Forward. Ask your leaders what parts have been implemented, and if not, why not. newsroom.calgary.ca/city-of-calg...

Road violence is a political choice. How much carnage will our leaders tolerate before they take drastic action? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It is absolutely a choice.

Writing is thinking. It's not some marginal boring task you can skip. It's the heart of it.

If you want to understand why rich guys are turning back to eugenics and recreating the rhetoric and theology of slavery, it’s because they know on some level this level of wealth inequality is unjustifiable bsky.app/profile/marl...

There is obviously a pretty strong cultural push from the right to normalize sexualization if, sex with, & marriage of female children and I think the term “pedophilia” is actually covering for them. The perpetrators in the Epstein files, by and large, are predators, probably not pedophiles. (1/x)

We are the majority. Diversity is the majority. Diversity is inclusion and love. It’s why they’re scared.

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison. Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water. Our priorities are so fucked.

If your male partner isn’t this upset about ICE taking children, you should not be with him and you should DEFINITELY not have kids with him. The degree to which supposedly liberal/progressive/leftist men are emotionally uninvolved, except in a fandom-y sense, is… telling.

NEW: "This was not a decision to reject the Moderna vaccine. It was a refusal even to think about approving it." www.thebulwark.com/p/this-is-wh...

I wish people understood how much unseen labor goes into every visible ounce of activism and how much labor by so many people towards change is deliberately invisible and never meant to be known

Just my opinion The difference between a UCP deficit and an NDP deficit is that with the NDP the money would've been spent on healthcare, education and making life better for Albertans With the UCP the money went on their friends and donors leaving Albertan worse off in every way #ableg #abpoli

It’s beginning to look like the military is ok with what Trump is doing. They cheer for him like they’re at a political rally and they are! Military is supposed to be nonpartisan because they are supposed to protect ALL Americans not just the maga ones!! Trump is destroying our democratic system.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

What’s so weird about men in power is how when they face scandal and should step down the world acts like no one else can do their jobs. Bottstein, Wasserman, these aren’t irreplaceable men! Stop with this delusion.

I think about how when they sang La Marseillaise they were still in the midst of a war they did not know they were going to win.

Milky Way money shot

DHS is issuing subpoenas to Google, Meta, and other tech companies for names, email addresses, telephone numbers and other identifying data behind social media accounts that track or criticize ICE. It's fascism. #AbolishICE #FDT #fascism

The polling numbers are in: 71% of Albertawomen will vote no if there is an Alberta referendum. 81% of them said they would move away from Alberta. That will leave Donbas Danielle and her petrostate frathouse of keyboard rage warriors. substack.com/home/post/p-...

The thing about the skeleton and the luge is that you have to learn whether you would be good at the skeleton or the luge, and I don't know how we don't hear about more people dying from finding out if they were good at the skeleton or the luge.

In Alberta rich corporations only pay 8% tax The lowest personal tax rate is 10% But the rich don't need a tax break They can pull themselves up by their bootstraps #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Finally some good news. | academic.oup.com/icesjms/arti... 🦑🌎🧪

Still waiting for just one member of legacy media to call for Trump’s removal from office. Just one.

When a person who tried to steal an election with an orchestrated insurrection tells you he’s going to protect future elections, you’re fucked. The time to deal with him is now America. The rest of us are doing our part. Your turn. Sincerely, The Free World

$175 million to update coal fired plants, billions to be invested in coal energy. Where is this money? Won’t congress stop this ever? We don’t have the money. Where will he steal it from? Congress won’t do their job to stop these investments. Illegal. Felon doesn’t have power/authority. So, what?

Greenhouse gas concentrations keep rising. The planet keeps warming in response. And that added heat shows up in the extremes and impacts. This is really basic stuff. Data from gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Community science.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Researchers have found that 6 of 10 abortion restrictions — bans on Medicaid funding for abortion, mandated waiting periods, 2nd-trimester abortion bans, ACA marketplace insurance coverage bans, biased counseling laws, and ultrasound requirements — were linked to higher rates of maternal mortality.

Translation: I will steal this election, and my lawyers will find a thin excuse to justify it.

When there’s a mass shooting in the US, Trump rushes to blame the left. He stokes fear & division and rarely says anything about the victims. In Canada, all party leaders went to pay their respects in Tumbler Ridge. They held hands, placed flowers & showed unity. That’s how it should be done.

They don’t want us to vote. Because they are NOT the majority.

We are stronger together. We are forever Canadian

As climate change melts the glaciers and makes droughts more frequent and prolonged, Canadians must become better stewards of water. Unfortunately, in many provinces, the opposite is happening. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/12/o...
