People on 60 Minutes have pretty consistently been brave and willing to give a damn to the point of losing their job rather than sell out their soul and this email is sadly probably going to be a part of that

Toronto's Police Chief comes out in support of "Defund The Police".

Time to say this again. Talk about the things YOU LIKE instead of shitting on things you haven't. No one cares if you aren't watching the show/listening to the artist/didn't like the movie. Let other people enjoy what's entertaining them

TIL creating crème fraîche is actually very easy. Last night I poured heavy cream into a jar, added a dollop of greek yogurt, and covered it with a paper towel held in place by an elastic. After sitting on my counter the past 24h, I wasn't sure if it would kill me. But it's exquisite!

Stop by the @spacingstore.bsky.social - open till Xmas eve - for all the city gifts you didn’t know you needed to give. And best curated city book nook. Sorry to say we took home the last IKEA Monkey ornament this afternoon. But there’s still Springer Dinger posters. 🎁

even among really smart folks, i think ppl have greatly underestimated just how much resources the ultra-wealthy have put into culture war bullshit to get us to fight each other instead of them

Pairs nicely with Friday Nights and Neil Young. 👌 youtu.be/4CFt9oyk7ic?...

Don't call it bourbon. But maybe try it in an Old Fashioned. Available from the LCBO and it's delicious. #ElbowsUp #CanadaStrong

If we could just take a fucking breath and admit "our kids are people, we don't get to decide who they are," and stop using "BUT THE CHILDREN" as a reason to attack trans people, and autistic people, and whoever else we've decided not to like, that would be cool.

Following news that Labour Minister David Piccini is under investigation over the Skills Development Fund scandal, CP24 asked me why Ontarians should care about this at a time when the cost of living is on everyone's mind. Here’s my response:

headsup, obviously never opt into this

NDP MP @jennykwan.bsky.social was among the 30-person delegation Israel turned away from visiting the West Bank. But when she called me, I Iearned why her staff told me the incident was worse than what's been reported -- and that TWO Israeli officials laid hands on an MP. Here's what happened:

Kudos to Skate Canada for defending ALL athletes 👍🏼

I had never seen a scene like this before in film, a scene that spoke to me so profoundly. As boys turning to men, we were not allowed to cry, to feel, and to bear our pain silence. Again: Rob Reiner was one of the Greats. youtu.be/UJT9M04j1-s?...

I believe that, in no uncertain terms, A.I. as we know it today is a technology designed explicitly to destroy consensus reality, undermine human labor, and estrange its users from other human beings and ultimately themselves. I do not use it and will not accept its supposed "inevitability."

This song always gets me in my feelings. Some of my favourite people up here: youtu.be/6A2WQksCSWI?... Bless you Ms Warwick.

Me: Don’t give your hard-earned money to bigoted people and their companies. Conservatives: Why do you have to drag politics into *everything*?? Also conservatives: We’re banning this font for being woke.

The US-Israel relationship has never been conditionalized upon Israel's behavior towards Palestinians and so it's genuinely disorienting to Israelis and (some) American Jews that more liberals than ever think it should. This is the underlying schism that will drive center left policy on the issue.

“The world’s 7 richest individuals are all now powerful media barons, controlling what 🌎 sees, reads, and hears, marking a new chapter in oligarchical control over society and striking another blow at a free, independent press and diversity of opinion.” www.mintpressnews.com/the-seven-ri...

Gazans bombed out of their homes by Israeli IDF are now living in rain soaked tents, bedding, everything soaking wet & splattered with mud, now above ankle deep. Sewerage non-existent, health care near zero, prime conditions for epidemic of diseases. Still the world does nothing to rein Israel in.

Poilievre's leadership is flailing so maybe the guy who seems to be dreaming about leading the Conservative Party can finally get his chance. Mark Carney, go get 'em tiger!

Simon Fraser University wants only non-union faculty at its new medical school. SFU contends that it's so new and different that the existing collective agreement with university faculty doesn't apply. pressprogress.ca/sfu-medical-...

“I will acknowledge through gritted teeth this is not something we’re keen about" @davidebybc.bsky.social Capitulating to climate criminals does not make the criminals back off and compromise. It makes you an accomplice. @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2025/12... #bcpoli #cdnpoli #climatesky

Western states would like to move on as if the Gaza genocide never happened, even though Israel is still terrorizing the Palestinian people. But the legal cases holding Israel and its leaders accountable are going ahead despite their best efforts.

The attacks on Ms. Rachel prove that her crime was humanizing Palestinian children. By showing them as sweet, innocent souls, she shattered the narrative that depends on depicting them as faceless threats. The cult of hate cannot tolerate compassion. ecomarxi.substack.com/p/a-brief-in...

Before you speak to me about your religion, first show it to me in how you treat others; before you tell me how much you love your God, show me in how much you love all His children; before you preach to me of your passion for your faith, teach me about it in your compassion for your neighbors.

Please enjoy one of my final gift links. I should at least make it an important share.

For Balsillie, an effective response to Trump’s new doctrine requires the feds to stop digging deeper FDI holes and start focusing on building national capacity and control over data, AI, and IP. (FTR, I think AI is a flop, but the point stands) betakit.com/jim-balsilli...

I give in, I'll do it. Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

One of the most disturbing things about the U.S. government getting themselves into the anti-vaccine game is that it is a time-release poison pill. It will take a few years before the worst of the harm is visible to enough people that they will truly understand what has been done to them.

Complaining about paywalls nowadays is how billionaires win, because only highly subsidized media can be non-paywall nowadays.

“Workers should be internationalists—sure. But structures don’t spring automatically from cosmopolitan appeals. They must be painstakingly built upon people’s everyday practices.” @pochoaespejo.bsky.social in our latest forum:

We're spending a lot of time trying to browbeat each individual into selflessness one by one, rather than showing them the benefits of our proposals for them and those they love. If we truly believe the world we envision is good for all, that shouldn't be so hard to do.
