“All successful revolutions are the kicking in of a rotten door .” - John Kenneth Galbraith

a bit tangential, but a lost bit of Gen X lore is it wasn't cool to admit to liking *anything* as it marked you as having chosen a tribe. like metal? made you a metal head. like star trek? made you a nerd. extra true for girls

"Who needs more security? The occupier or the occupied?" 🇧🇪🇪🇺 Belgian MEP Marc Botenga calls out the hypocrisy of the European Union and leaders who have advocated for the disarmament and deradicalization of Palestinians in order to ensure "Israel's security".

Perfect response from Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew

In particular, they want leases to no longer necessarily remain in effect indefinitely, so that landlords have more options for creating tenant turnover. Current situation in left-hand column, proposal on the right:

Ontario cities are clearing homeless encampments. Where are people supposed to go? Amidst a housing crisis with no end in sight, municipalities across the province have been cracking down on the unhoused: pressprogress.ca/ontario-citi...

Ford blames Jays playoff ticket gouging on asshole premier who scrapped Ticketmaster law in 2019

I'm starting to think "elites" is actually a dog-whistle for "ethics"

Liberals when candidates defend trans people: "We can't do this, it's too unpopular." Liberals when candidates have a nazi ss tattoo: "it's ok, not all candidates are perfect." Do y'all hear yourselves?!

An NDP private member’s bill would require airlines to pay flight attendants for all hours worked before and after takeoff. The unpaid-work issue was at the heart of a three-day strike that disrupted Canadian air travel this summer. thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...

Toronto Blue Jays for the win!!

If someone puts a good meal in front of you, savor it; feel the joy flooding through you. Wait until between meals to think about the hungry and help them. If you are in a warm embrace, bask in love and luck without shame. In quieter moments, think of the lonely and send them a message.

The first time the Confederate flag ever paraded through the US Capitol was on January 6, 2021. The first time the White House was damaged in over 200 years since the US rebuilt in the 1820s after the British burned it in the war of 1812 was mid October, 2025.

Reminder that Mount Rushmore was designed by a white supremacist and literal Klansman as a deliberate desecration of a site sacred to multiple Indigenous nations. Imagine if a Klansman blew up St. Peter's Basilica or the Western Wall and built a statue of Trump instead. That's what Rushmore is.

Montreal may once again become the preeminent Canadian city if the province of Quebec allows it. Toronto's money can only go so far without a vision.

Ontatio mutuals and friends, it appears I will not be able to swing the trip to Toronto to watch the Welcome to Night Vale show on October 30. I have two tickets that need a loving home.

57 years ago today. Seems relevant.

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall... think of it, always.” - Gandhi

Hard not to notice that all the federal agencies and the White House join here simultaneously, immediately begin posting Hatch Act violations constantly and their threads are FULL of newly created bots whose only posts are reskeets of the agency accounts lying about the shutdown.

I lol'd

block this shit

Regular people did so much heavy lifting w the elbows up stuff while elites balked. I am interested in how this all plays out. Feels like Carney cheering "Go Mariners!" almost.

Buy a toque, give a toque 🇨🇦 It would mean the world to me if you could buy a torque to help those in need. My brother died homeless, on the streets of toronto, and this small gesture would help make a difference. Thanks ❤️ www.toquesfromtheheart.ca

By all means, go protest this weekend. But BE SAFE, listen to experienced organizers, DON'T RSVP, WEAR A MASK, and turn biometrics off on your phone if you must bring it. And if you're arrested protesting in IL, I will represent as many people as I can pro bono. Email me at [email protected].

Starts off nasty, but further in the article takes a more positive turn! www.cp24.com/news/world/2...

I got a package this week from “Intelcom” (who?) and now learning that its CEO is the brother of Mélanie Joly, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry of Canada, puts ALL of this hobbling of Canada Post into clear focus 😡

There are other uses surely, but I would ride down to union or Ex stn, put bike on train, go to KW and ride around, eat in a restaurant, go to a bar, then take the train back. If the timing was good. Regional tourism ftw.

What is the crime of Palestine? The answer in profound words👇

My teen said their history teacher told them to judge historical figures “by the standards of the time.” I said well, who gets to decide the standards of the time? The enslaved people, the children forced to have sex with older men?

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78. Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

More or less the ideal thing for the people being ordered to shoot civilians to be saying to cameras, generally speaking. (I do not know enough about Madagascar to comment on any of the rest of this)

To continue allowing economic ties with Israeli settlements is to be complicit in an illegal occupation. It sends a message that international law is optional, and that Canada is willing to look the other way.

Many of us grew up in the church being taught to root for Moses, Daniel, and John the Baptist in the Bible, only to grow up and have our churches question our faith for not cheering on the Pharaohs, Nebuchadnezzars, and Herods in our world today.

You can write your MPs to say you would consider this a betrayal of our sovereign goals.

Lets get going!
