Violently stupid, violently dangerous; Trump's Kakistocratic government and their supporters are Vibe Governing based on far-right conspiracy theories and anti-science idiocy. Autism isn't caused by Tylenol. This incompetence should be cause for immediate disbarment. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Why are some people entrenched in ideas you find puzzling? Why do they think your ideas are bizarre? Information bubbles! And algorithms! My new book for kids--and adults!--explains it all, with humour. It drops Nov 11. Pre-order today! @jandolby.bsky.social @owlkids.bsky.social @mor10.com

Technology is a choice. So is how we talk about it. Let's choose language that describes AI as assistive technology we use (or don't use) to help us flourish. Welcome to my #TEDxSurrey talk: youtu.be/yjLsHD9IzIA?...

Is anyone running year-over-year stats on international attendance at big US tech conferences? I'm curious to see what the dropoff looks like. People I talk to in Europe and Canada are either not buying tickets or cancelling their tickets to major events.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

Our backyard weather station in Burnaby, BC measured 76 mm of rain in 24 hours on August 15, 2025. The rain event started at midnight and this reading was at 11:30pm the same day. #bcstorm #metrotown #burnaby

Anyone being surprised by this has not been paying attention for the past decade. Putin's Man in the White House does Putin's bidding. Always has.

The heat of Republican fury if Biden met with Putin in Alaska would have created its own weather system. Instead we watch the abdication of a nation to a tyrant, delivered by the weakest man who ever lived.

The reason you feel like it's all coming apart even though everything seems normal is because it's all coming apart and everything we consider normal is the reason.

The only thing in the way of everything Trump 🇺🇸 and Putin 🇷🇺 want is Canada 🇨🇦 😬.

"There is no crueler task than to have to document one’s own demise and there is no more selfless act than to leave a record. That is what Palestinian journalists gave as their lives were stolen. Anas Al-Sharif was 28 years old."

How to sound tough but do nothing: Impose tariffs on a country where we already impose sanctions. A 100% tariff on almost nothing will do almost nothing.

This is what fascist propaganda looks like. We learned about how to spot it in 7th grade history class in Norway.

This is 100% correct. NO ONE can sit at home and collect Medicaid checks.

I don’t want to say I immediately had a visceral reaction when I saw the DHS post but … yeah… I did … Right on cue with the fascism.

Good evening

One-Trick-President who promised to end the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine in 24 hours (it's been 194 days) claims zero percent success rate tariff ploy will end the Russian war of aggression in the Ukraine in 50 days: www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...

I love how the team just casually move around him so he disappears in the background.

My friends and I walked 2km to school by ourselves in 3rd grade. We discovered a path through the woods that would get us there faster. It went over a marsh and two small creeks. When our parents found out, they went into the woods and built some bridges to make the creeks easier to cross.

Have you read the book "Your Face Belongs to Us" by @kashhill.bsky.social? If not, this is your sign to read it

Them: "I hear Grok is the best model." Me: "You adopt the politics of the technology you use. Grok is part of an explicitly fascist project. Doesn't matter if it turns garbage to gold: Any use is complicity."

"There will be no tariff if Canada, or companies within your country, decide to manufacture product within the United States" The brazen stupidity of this kakistocratic dictator is giving me a headache. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

"The Trump administration is, in fact, very competent in achieving its main goal: stripping America down for parts and selling those parts to the highest bidders."— @sarahkendzior.bsky.social, Hiding in Plain Sight (2020) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"If I have the power to prevent harm but choose to do nothing, and others don't prevent the harm, it's not my fault harm was caused - it's theirs." This is what abdication of power at the top level looks like. This is not how anything is supposed to work.

I just got the preprint of @jgcanada.bsky.social's upcoming book "Burst Your Bubble! Outsmart the Algorithms and See What You’re Missing." I highly recommend you pre-order your own copy (and I'm not just saying that because I tech-reviewed it)! joycegrantauthor.com/books/burst-...

Prompt: "Create a new Canadian ketchup flavour." Response: A merging of two different bottles. Reason: AI systems know nothing of the real world. During a demo yesterday, an AI system generated an image like this, and the crowd laughed. It took me 2 minutes to reproduce in ChatGPT.

Head of transnational crime syndicate masquerading as government discovers The Art of the Trade Deal is not a tariff shakedown but instead international cooperation, doubles down on destroying own economy to save face. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

An astonishing figure in this piece: Last year, the U.S. budgeted $12.8B for new affordable housing. This country is now poised to spend $45B on immigrant detention centers. That's nearly *four times* as much on cages as on homes—in the middle of a devastating housing and homelessness crisis.

I’m very tired of saying this is fascism but this is fascism. Police speech. Crush dissent. Exert control. It’s all here.

30 years from now a high school student in Europe will ask "Were the American people not aware the Christofascist Dictator was building concentration camps?" and the teacher will answer "Oh they were aware. They took pictures of themselves with the signs! They celebrated the camps."

Not sure what's happening to my prescription sunglasses, but I'm not sure they are safe to wear any longer...

The trillions of $$$ we've invested in fossil fuels through tax cuts and other subsidies are now being used to fund regressive politicians who prevent green energy projects from getting even a fraction of the same support. Talk about entitlement.

Angus: We have American officials claiming that Canada is some kind of terrorist haven. They’re saying we’re sending massive gangs of El Salvadorans over the border. I’m sorry—have you ever visited Canada? Could you show us where these El Salvadoran gangs supposedly are?

"Frankly, the mall down the street should be mine. It really should. Because the mall relies entirely on me. I don't rely on the mall."

Again, I know nothing matters & no one seems to care, either in the media or our politics, but threatening the territorial sovereignty of our NATO allies is a direct violation of our treaty obligations (& therefore also US law) & should have immediately ended his presidency in January.

Trump says "a group of wealthy people" are buying TikTok. Who those people are matters. A LOT. www.axios.com/2025/06/29/t...

On the rankings of "this didn't age well," this CNN piece from just this morning must be in the top 10, no? www.cnn.com/2025/06/21/p...

Three separate American friends and relatives have reached out in the past hour asking if they are safe. I told them all the same thing: The greatest threat to you right now isn't Iran; it's your own government.

Trump's bombing of Iran serves no larger political or security purpose. He just didn't want to look like a loser as he was goaded by the war criminal Netanyahu. Canada must separate ourselves from the reckless violence of the gangster regime in Washington.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
