Climate removed from top level navigation on BBC News.

Oakland's landlords weren't paying their business taxes. Once the City started pursuing what was owed, rental business tax doubled from the previous year, over tripled the year before that. Pretty wild how they are constantly whining at city hall about deadbeat tenants

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

“I think we're all seeing the results of an opioid crisis, mental health and addiction crisis, and the homelessness crisis all coming together to a head,” said the ED of the BIA no. this is the consequences of 30 years of austerity, the collapse of social infrastructure www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

What a beautiful piece of writing from my boss, @brycetetraeder.bsky.social. theonion.com/at-long-last...

Extremely weird and revealing joke from Carney, even if he's riffing off the progressive conservative allegations. He's not beating em!

Bloody hell that is a unvarnished white supremacist techno fascist imperialist manifesto. It gross & deeply concerning that Palantir is so deeply embedded in not just the US gov't but also spreading to other countries through contracts such as with the NHS in the UK.

I have used this chart to radicalize many.

Financial Times saying what I’ve been saying since last year - Oracle’s OpenAI Shackelford Data Center is way behind schedule. so is Nebius’ Vineland NJ data center for its Microsoft contract, and no gear is online. www.wheresyoured.at/oracle-opena... www.wheresyoured.at/the-enshitti...

Turns out leftists can do things

ELI5 why do we spend public money on private schools when public schools are underfunded?

Local politicians (such as this Victoria councillor) generally say their finances are awful and blame higher levels of government all the time. They have the best credit ratings and the least debt. Their struggle comes down to big ambition and minimal tools.

Zohran Mamdani said he's going to start taxing rich people who buy luxury housing in NYC but don't actually live in there, and the former CEO of Twitter/X called it "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen."

NYT cooking page has basically no meat on it "Dumplings With Peas" "Broccoli Cheddar Beans"

It costs the City of Ottawa $465/person each year to serve new low-density homes, over & above what it receives from property taxes/fees. On the other hand, high-density infill such as apartment buildings pays for itself plus an extra $606/person each year. Sprawl costs, infill saves. #UrbanTruth

ChatGPT has to be the only consumer product that has multiple documented instances of encouraging its customers to plan and execute mass shootings and barely any media talks about it and no politician is doing anything to stop it

The Wetland Project has been my favorite alternate-reality radio experience since it began. Since it only happens once a year, you can’t become accustomed to it. Close your eyes and be washed over by the sonic reality of an isolated bog on Saturna Island!

Canada didn't have anything equivalent to America's 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act until 2020 and it's still weaker than America's framework. That's four decades, two more generations of assimilation of Native children, continuing the project of residential schools in another form.

Some people balk at the idea that there is an amount of money that is inherently immoral to have but if you have more than enough to cater to your every whim and your family’s every whims, not only do you probably have brain damage from never problem solving, what would you even DO with more???

Of all the awful takes I’ve seen from our supposed opposition party today, “nuclear holocaust is just a distraction” has made me feel the most hopeless and despondent. Thank you, Senator.

Rapidly vacillating between white-hot rage and abject despair, but these emails aren’t going to send themselves.

During the anti-ICE school walkouts in January, a group of students in Chandler were targeted by an armed agitator. Turns out it was Phoenix PD Sergeant Dusten Mullen. He admitted his plan was to try to get purposely assaulted so the teenager protesters would all get arrested (it didn’t work).

Mike Johnson practicing saying “I haven’t seen the mushroom cloud, so I can’t comment”

Oh my god. The Prime Minister's social media account puts out a post reflecting on the horrors of one genocide, hours after refused to explicitly condemn the threat of another. (Not to mention the failure to close loopholes that see Canadian companies arm yet another genocide -- in Gaza)

I don't think that there's a situation where slaughtering a bunch of innocent civilians, blowing up their buildings, and killing everyone in their government is going to result in the remaining people being "less radicalized"

Reposting this for obvious reasons. I have much more in common with any Iranian than I do with the American and Israeli pieces of shit trying to annihilate them. Any single Iranian life lost is an entire universe gone; more, a tragedy at a level I cannot personally fathom. This is all I can do.

Congress is on vacation

Getting chokemogged and no longer oxygenmaxxing

only a racist ahistorical murderous buffoon would make this chuckleheaded and false comparison this is an insult to serious people everywhere

Leader of a major political party essentially saying that if you're a non white woman and you win awards you must be a man

Democratic voters: “Please, just oppose Republicans. That’s all we want. Stop the fascism.” Democratic politicians: “What if we make you upload your government ID to read websites?” Worse than worthless.

"why did the city stop using the squatter & obstruction classifications over a 15-month period (July 2023-Aug 2024) & how did this impact the large increase in complaints classified as open drug use? Presumably the city changed how it classified complaints" decrim began Jan 31 2023 for context

Last year I had the amazing opportunity to animate a cut for @jellybox.bsky.social 's music video for The Living Tombstone’s remix of Everything is Fine!!! I did my shots with Clip Studio Paint, check out the full music vid linked below!

I feel like the great lesson of the Civil War is that amateur armies of shopkeepers, farm laborers, and clerks can, when well armed and supplied, beat the absolute piss out of a chivalry-obsessed gentry class and their allies among the smallholders

A judge has allowed the DOGE deposition videos back online. After originally ruling plaintiffs had to "claw back" the videos and them being removed from YouTube, the judge has now said the videos fall "squarely within that core public interest." Now back on YouTube www.404media.co/judge-allows...

The McDonalds dollar menu was not a 90s invention, it was created in the 00s. It was a response to the Wendy's value menu and lasted so long bc food prices remained stagnant which made Americans go insane years later. There was no point in history we had both the dollar menu and the twin towers.

After the head of ICE in Central Florida pleaded no contest to exposing himself and masturbating in front of a 16-year-old girl (which was witnessed by her mother and caught on mall security cameras), ICE allowed him to apply his vacation and sick days to reach retirement and collect a full pension.

Shout out to all the guys with charts who told me there was no way we were undercounting while I watched nursing homes and hospitals refuse to test and send my friends’ elderly relatives home to die of “respiratory illness” to keep their official numbers down.

older i get the more obvious it is that even a modest sliver of power over another person completely shreds the human soul. not sure what's to be done about that "haha" 👍

This is a good breakdown of C-22 (the police powers introduced as part of the now dead Bill C-2 in 2025) It's bad. Cell providers will be required to keep 1 year of location data for all Canadians, secret ministerial orders, backdoors that enable hackers and more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZFb...

i'm sorry this is so funny. great stuff www.404media.co/ceo-ignores-...

and this pain will not be equally shared across the university... social research and progressive scholarship are being targeted... and every decision leadership makes worsens the financial crisis as if by design. it doesn't have to be this way, these are choices by The New School top leadership

He looks like if The Matrix was about being cis.

Canadians! The deadline to take part in the People's Consultation on "AI" has been extended to March 23rd. Get the full details, including how to submit your own comments, here: www.peoplesaiconsultation.ca

it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online

Absolute Queen behavior from the Zamboni Rider today at the Minnesota Frost game. No ICE No War No Kings No Fear.
