The church will remain sexist. The church will remain homophobic. The church will remain transphobic. The church will remain anti-woman. The new Pope sucks as much as the last one did, but it's really fun to call them 'progressive'.

After everything else, wtf America?

What a creepy bunch of power tripping over nothing.

There's been a lot of weird stuff happening lately, and it strikes me as entirely possible that no one in Canada has remembered to check the OR.

Feels legit.

I feel about the same using the products of Chinese data vampires as I do the products of American data vampires.

This sucks. Half gone, by fire.

The severe weakness of media about speaking about this is very dangerous. Did he? Did he? Appeared to... Accused of... Did he? What was that mysterious hand gesture? Did he? He did. Yet they ask if he did, directly above photos of him doing so. He did. It happened. And yet, they can't report a fact.

That guy in America wants to force ownership of Tiktok to be 50% in the hands of the American government. So, buh-bye Tiktok. But also, isn't the forced nationalization of a foreign corporation something interesting? I feel like if anyone else was doing it, the alt-wrong would call it socialism.

I don't even know who I'd be without this beautiful, beautiful man. Such a mind. Such a massive soul. Goodnight, David Lynch.

Any way the wind blows... Here's a reminder that corporations have no morality, and will march lockstep with fascism.

Now on TPR: Hamilton's Barton/Tiffany tiny shelters fiasco has a new chapter. The company hired by Microshelters Inc. as its middleman, Global Axxis LLC, has been administratively dissolved by the State of Wyoming. #yhmcc #HamOnt www.thepublicrecord.ca/2025/01/comp...

Facebook has meant a lot to me over the years, and been a beautiful tool for organizing and forming community. But, this is beyond the pale.

Step one to leaving Meta. It's going to be a long process, but I'm done.

I don't even know who the dudes with flags on their pickup trucks in Canada will fantasize about anymore.

Fake people, doing fake acts of charity.

I was watching Home Alone with some friends the other night and we all agreed that Kevin McCallister grows up to be Jigsaw

That second last paragraph, and Singh's lack of traction as a candidate is the real problem. What a joy an election would be, if every leader that knew they couldn't win would step aside.

Yesterday I pulled overt references of queerness off my site, my very successful store that sells my books that have queer main characters. Because a few days ago, Meta emailed saying my advertising on their platform will be restricted - my site was categorized as "sexuality and gender identity."

I queried the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN and NBC to at least give them a chance to make their case for withholding the Luigi Mangione manifesto. They didn't even respond!

This looks to be legit, if you're curious. It's not being published by major media outlets for some reason. Also, doesn't at all seem unhinged, and is pretty reasonable.

Programs that Mohawk College is canning.

Just a reminder that there are no good guys.

Ontari-ari-Oh!

The thing about the Internet is that an hour later I've learned how to repair GameBoy Advance cartridges, but I didn't even care to and have no use for that.

Riiiiiiight, all of those illegal aliens and drugs from Canada. America's economy is going to spiral, and I deeply hope ours can hold through this mess.

None of us know that we don't have Popeye powers because the POWERS THAT BE have conspired to make canned spinach unavailable.

You'd think this would be talked about more. You're twice as likely to die in a Tesla than the average vehicle.

I don't think I can emphasize how important this is. There's a decent chunk of the population on social media that are entirely addicted to argument. If we don't engage, they will feed on each other.

I invented none of my gradeless classroom ideas, but for like 8 years I've been this mostly lone weirdo trying to convince people (mostly new teachers, thank you for not being already ossified) one by one to try it, mostly without success. Frankly it's been exhausting. But today...

Ooh, now @zenahagerty.bsky.social is here!

I've seen folks express concern about the idea that BlueSky could be bought by dirtbags. Firstly, it's not publicly traded. Secondly, they've been buying the wrong stocks and caused a huge stock spike for BlueSky Digital, a crypto mining company dabbling in AI.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I remember three survivors, who were brave heroes, and lived long and lovely lives.

I made a blocklist for some of the new showing up to troll anti trans folks. No oxygen for these schmoes! bsky.app/profile/did:...

Sooooo, the next time Trans folks somehow earn the hatred of half of the population, I think we should do something to deserve it. Suggestions?

Hey #hamont folks... Maybe stay away from Chedoke golf course for a bit.

"Ignoring isn’t the same as ignorance, you have to work at it." Happy 85th to Margaret Atwood.

Me, looking every thirty seconds to catch 666.

BlueSky is cool, but is it really better than Milf Messenger?

@flavorflav.bsky.social killing it is officially the best part of BlueSky.

Hey Canadians... If you're worried about shipping and the #canadapoststrike, shop local. It shows solidarity, and strengthens your community.

A block list worth using. If we stay vigilant, these folks will whither and not gain any foothold.

Thanks, Alex.

Pingu gets it.

Thanks to Ward 1 Councillor @MaureenWilson for championing these discussions. The study is built on the premise of keeping one of the two Chedoke courses. Creating greater public good is a worthy goal. I hope we see some real creativity in the proposed new uses.

BEST thing about this site,, I can hide negative replies and unattach my posts from reposts that are rude,,, I ain’t gonna take no negativity or trolling on my page. You will not build up by tearing others down here.

Bluesky clarification on their use of AI. They really just mean algorithm.

Have a Funkadelic Friday, y'all.

Interesting hiring in Ontario.
