Nikki Stanton and Morgan McAslan will both be back with #VanRiseFC next season. Stanton⬇️ “I can say that right…” 👀

Note that any book with an LGBTQ+ theme is automatically considered sexually explicit and removed.

this is what makes bluesky the "canada" of social media whites believe it's less terrible than twitter, when it's actually just more quietly terrible and smug

No no no. That Muller goal should stand under the "cool shit always counts" bylaw. Look it up

Just recorded with @theprogressreport.ca on the scoop related to Calgary police surveillance –– look for it early next week. Meantime, check out the story, which includes the 1,566 pages of documents and a freedom of information request you can submit yourself! drugdatadecoded.ca/calgary-poli...

They put this into place without a proper way for local escalation; the end result of a a long line of decisions not wanting to have to deal with pesky customers nor with pesky employees. These companies will eventually die.

Lying by an officer should be a one-strike-you're-fired situation, and the officers who did so should all be prosecuted. I won't hold my breath. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The only thing the tech industry creates anymore is fake hype cycles to artificially inflate their stock price. And in the meantime we all get inflicted with their bullshit as everyone is told "it's the next big thing and you don't want to miss out!"

"Your health records will be on the block chain." "Everyone will live in the Metaverse." "All art will be NFTs." "Generative AI will replace the need for humans." We need to reckon with the reality that the tech industry no longer creates things that anyone wants.

Random facts about Canada— Canadian law allows for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed anywhere in the world to be prosecuted in Canada. Canada allows private individuals to initiate prosecutions for criminal offences, forcing public prosecutors to either discontinue or continue it.

The British Medical Association Resident Doctors are the backbone of the NHS, they look after us all in hospital. They passed this motion at their conference which pulls the “supreme” court judgement to pieces. They call it “scientifically illiterate” and “biologically nonsensical” 1/3

Good: * Poilievre isn't Prime Minister. * Poilevre lost his own seat. Bad: * Everything has shifted substantially rightward. * 40% of popular vote and +20 seats for Cons. * Basically a two-party parliament of centre right and far right. * Left leaning parties wiped out.

i am so profoundly ready for this election to be over

The Toronto Police Association's members and Executive are subject to the Police Services Act, which prohibits the endorsement of political candidates. The Police Board affirmed this position in 2010. This post — which is an egregious abuse of power — shouldn't be above the law.

Here my colleague Gabe Winant asks "Who governs the University?" We should all be asking this question. These institutions are landlords, healthcare providers, employers, police forces, and educators. They should be democratically governed. chicagomaroon.com/47073/viewpo...

insane that the man who fucked a couch murdered one of the holiest men on earth

the extent to which conservatives are CODDLED in the academy in a way that no one else is. the coddling of the american conservative. and then when they have to face the same pressures as literally anyone else, how they scream and cry and sob about how unfair it all is. yeah, I'm out of sympathy.

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

Curtailing people’s ability to read widely and carefully, to locate, assess, and compare different sources for themselves, and to write in their own voice about what they find and what it means, is arguably more effective than censorship. It is also one of the most obvious effects of generative AI.

The important thing here is that some brave people said NO and they WALKED AWAY

I'm an economist who has a background in monetary theory and US banking history and I was trained by a financial historian and Jesus fucking Harold Christ "scary" doesn't cover it; this is setting the stage for large scale obliteration of wealth *obliteration*, not transfer

off the top of my head, this includes any non-US person working in journalism, several law fields, human rights, science, healthcare, and a significant portion of academia, coming to the US for work, study, or plain leisure

In a new social-media campaign from the American government, the federal agency ICE promised to prevent ‘illegal’ ‘ideas’ from entering the country.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Of course, they’re not actually looking for antisemitism. They’re looking for brown immigrants who are critics of the United States and Israel’s policy and actions towards Palestine and they believe they’ve landed on a palatable reason to purge a lot of brown people from the United States.

We have every reason to believe that *they* are committing crimes against presumptively innocent people whom they have no intention of giving a fair trial. We have more reason to believe that about them than they have ever produced about people whom we should be thinking of as their victims.

I cannot stress enough that these people are liars. They lie in legal-sounding ways to give their actions a patina of legitimacy. It is conscious, and it is insidious and you have to reject it every time you see it.

This is no different than parroting claims that we are being invaded. That word has a legal meaning. Unlawful entry is not invasion.

stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation. -You cannot legally deport people without due process. -You cannot legally deport citizens. -They are defining down deportation to break the law.

Trying to provide as much as I can without sensationalizing this, but one other important detail: records show that he was transferred out of MA TODAY, the day AFTER they told the court he was no longer in the state and deleted the bond records in ECAS. I've got hackles up I didn't even know I owned

I have spoken with multiple field offices and emailed ICE counsel as well as the office of the Chief Immigration Judge. From what I am putting together an extremely new disturbing pattern has developed recently of ICE somehow *deleting* cases from the imm court's ECAS system & *no one knows how*

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

When are the people who said nothing while student protestors were attacked for their free speech last year going to admit they made a catastrophic mistake? That would actually be useful. Weaken their rhetorical tools. Admit you made a huge fucking mistake

How two Irish protesters are facing deportation from Germany over pro-Palestine demonstrations

the icp would run America a million times better than the current admin.

Yep. And "accept" here can mean anything from "work with" to "support from a distance" to "keep at arm's length but not burn bridges with" to "ignore instead of repudiating."

I like to wait until at least half the polling stations are in before formally declaring a victory in any byelection. We're almost at that point, so I won't call anything yet. But it's very hard to see any result other than Maloney and Orr being Vancouver's next two city councillors.
