So I kind of started the very long weekend early... Because my body hurts. So goddamn much. Can I blame the weather? Has my Endo just decided that I'm going to get SAD anyway so this is the best time to strike? IDK but it sucks no matter what.

Everything that happens on social media coming from City Hall will be about campaigning for the next elections. Unfortunately we have been watching how @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social campaigned by promising free transit, housing and humanity. Every candidate will have to do better and we're watching.

Look at this ghoul. Hungry people digging through the trash leaves a mess sometimes! Who the hell looks at that problem and thinks "We MuSt PrOtEcT ThE TrAsh!"

One of the ways to "clean-up" the city, and avoid having garbage cans rummaged through is to spend money on housing and feeding the vulnerable population, not just fancy garbage cans.

NEWS RELEASE: “Prime Minister Carney’s first budget reads like a war plan against people and the planet." Budget 2025 underscores the federal government's continued trajectory of focusing on industrial development at the expense of people, public services and the environment. #CDNpoli #Budget2025

I keep seeing journalism described as an "ecosystem" and I guess that tracks because it's undergoing an extinction crisis caused by billionaires, too.

hey i know things are hard but just remember YOU are charismatic megafauna

a lazy cynical affect is one of the worst things you can do to yourself as a reporter or analyst, it will corrode not only your work but your soul.

Everyone say Happy Birthday to Herbie, who is six today! Recently diagnosed with epilepsy and "middle age" but it won't keep him down!

AI is presented as a race against time. Problem is, it's rigged. The pitch is "once it reaches a certain level, it will fix the problems it creates and also all other problems." The rigged part is that there is zero evidence that LLMs are a path to something that could DO THAT. It's a scam.

"Restore the merit principle," I scream, having apparently developed selective amnesia about losing my job based on a complete and total lack of merit

Floating the idea of reviving the Keystone XL pipeline — a rejected fossil fuel project from a company notorious for spills and opposed by land defenders for years — during a climate crisis is nothing short of reckless and irresponsible. #climatechange #cdnpoli

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

Idk why but I feel like this is disco snails related youtu.be/eX3vfls7fBI?...

Another amazing moment for my coyote encounter the other morning. It’s neat to watch the family dynamics. Keep an eye on the two on the right. One of them is very clearly submissive and rolls over at the drop of a hat. It was so neat to just float there and watch them. #mammals 🌿

The pressure campaign to avoid a trumpish Conservative Party win in the last Canadian election & instead elect Carney's Liberals has resulted in an austerity gov that demands huge cuts across all departments & caused another postal strike. Run on breathless patriotism, rule like Harper.

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year? How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

hear me out, government of canada, you could just FUND THE FUCKING POST OFFICE YOU ABSOLUTE GHOULS www.thestar.com/business/pos...

Shout out to all the Weird Girls tonight. Rough time to be one of us but I assure you that you are not alone

For those who claim that “Autism is a Superpower” … Bob’s Burgers is a great example of the lengths that an Autistic person might have to go to make a career off their “Autism powers” in adulthood … Bob is *amazing* at making burgers … his whole life is built around that … and he *barely* gets by.

every time we talk about parental permission in terms of book banning I'm like fuck man. kids have rights too. a 17-year-old should be able to check out books at the library without Mom and Dad stepping in. so should a 10-year-old or 7 or whatever. kids deserve SOME goddamn freedom and privacy

First field report from #Nopiming Provincial Park after massive wildfires swept the landscape during Manitoba's devastating 2025 wildfire season. #MBpoli

Free transit = #climateaction. Did you know? Transportation is the second largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada — after oil and gas extraction and export — and makes up 23 per cent of total emissions nationally. Read more in our latest report ➡ WildernessCommittee.org/OneCrisis

When you meet someone who wants you to be institutionalized, prosecuted, or killed, you should be asking yourself: what do I have in common with this person? Tomorrow from Ezra Klein

People my age talk mad shit about how the world has gone to shit in our lifetimes. Here's a progressive community organiser running to make it a little more right.

First they came for Bill Clinton, and I said, yes, that man is a sex pest, get him

I wrote on loss of wilderness from one Manitoba forest fire, and steps that are now needed to nurture nature. We've been actively advocating for Bird River protection for years. Climate change supercharged this wildfire. We must act on climate. www.wildernesscommittee.org/news/bird-ri...

The first thing I saw when I opened this app today was Kevin O'Leary on the news saying how Epstein survivors should shut up and move on because they're in their "childbearing years," and if I were on that panel I would have barfed up my stomach contents onto him like a sea cucumber under threat

“Carbon storage is often portrayed as a way out of the climate crisis. Our findings make clear that it is a limited tool”. #CCS fortune.com/2025/09/05/c...

😢Sad news: Manitoba's 2025 wildfire season has left the Bird River scarred for generations, and this year's Paddle for Protection cancelled. But now we ask: How do we protect an ecosystem this fragile so it regains the biodiversity and resilience it once had? #MBfire youtube.com/shorts/giPGZ...

Going to therapy to help me deal with people who won't go to therapy

My video about how LLMs are not search engines has led to many, MANY comments telling me that I should be using Perplexity. Some insisting that Perplexity does not hallucinate. Out of a list of 26 papers it just provided me (in "Research" mode) 4 were real. FOUR. 85% hallucination rate.

No, authors aren't burnt out because "writing without AI is slow" We're burnt out because we're paid dirt so we need day jobs to survive

I have spent my whole first day off on the balcony in a light breeze with the pets. I ate a big cinnamon bun with coffee. We are at a 10 out of 10 so far!

wondering if the social fabric is irreparably damaged and society is crumbling beyond saving and the arts are a complete waste of my life or if it's just cloudy for the second day in a row

The Air Canada workers demanded fair compensation and went on strike and the gov tried to shut the strike down through forced arbitration. They defied the order and had a wildcat strike. Despite the media pushing a corporate narrative the public supported them and they won. The tide is changing

Support your public library. Defend your public library. Slay the enemies of your public library.

oh good we're doing "you need to be friends with people who fucking hate you" discourse again

I don’t need graphs about what jolly good citizens migrants are to justify why they shouldn’t be attacked. They shouldn’t be attacked because racism is bad and racists are cunts

“We experience constant daylight, window-shaking, rumbling. Now my family and my animals are having breathing problems. The sound has kept me awake for three days, even with earplugs," Kitimat resident Michael Rolica told @thenarwhal.ca. #stoplng #bcpoli

The smoke is so bad that Winnipeg looks like Silent Hill. How is everyone else doing.

"geoff people would take you more seriously on the internet if you stopped stylizing your posts with 'like' and 'uhh' and incorrect punctuation" why would i want anyone to take me seriously on the internet. that's where people already yell at you for jokes
