From the people that brought you "Where are the schools for all these new homes?" Coming soon to a public hearing near you "We should build less school"

Cool. Please make it two feet lower. I want a station wagon, not a bulldozer.

I have an old life insurance policy with Foresters Financial, a company that originated from a British "Friendly Society" called the "Ancient Order of Foresters." It was a mutual aid organization founded to help care for working class sick and indigent folks. 1/2

An image of a trans person (who lives on the other side of the country) is circulating online because of a bunch of far right accounts on social media are claiming it's the Tumbler mass shooter. This individual had nothing to do with it. These kind of lies get innocent LGBTQ+ people hurt or killed

Horrible news from Tumbler Ridge. My god 10 dead and 25 injured in a town of 3000.

You know who can also testify as to what was happening with Epstein and don’t need clemency? His victims.

Not an exaggeration. We would ride our 10 speeds into the forest outside of town and camp for the weekend, cooking on an old oven grate over an open fire. At 12 years old! Our parents let us do that! I can’t imagine my kids doing it now but they also live in a big city, not a small mountain town.

This is a whole thing

There are an absolutely huge number of people who take this drug.

This spider found a great place to build its web.

The current fashion for leading a party or being talked about leading a party while vocally backing policies that are anathema to your voter base is truly bizarre.

I’m finding it painful to watch CBC platform mostly conservatives to gush praise at former Prime Minister Stephen Harper (they’re releasing his archival collection) with almost zero commentary about the awful things he did while in power & around the world since. The selective amnesia is nauseating.

This such a great song, “Eye on the Bat” by Palehound. youtu.be/fsBfsB-OEP0?...

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

I had to read Schmitt for a history course I took in the 90s and thought it was kind of weird that we were reading a Nazi jurist but for the last few years I’ve been, “Oh, that’s why we read that book.”

just idly remembering when i was assembling my dissertation for final submission in 2017 i was chided by one lovely professor at a conference, who felt my use of the phrase "the return of fascism" to describe the present moment was "alarmist"

Ugh. My wife and kids have been sick with a cold all week. So far, I've managed to hold it off but tonight I feel it coming on strong, just in time for the weekend. Stupid false consciousness of my immune system; it's working for the man.

Peter Mandelson sent a secret memo to all UK media via press regulator IPSO asking them not to "take photos or film, approach, or contact him via phone, email, or in-person." Scottish newspaper The National published the memo in full. Hilarious. I love the Scots. www.thenational.scot/news/2583451...

This article interviews people who don't live next to a new multiplex, speculating about what the neighbours might think. Did they try to talk to some actual neighbours? Always "we're not against new housing, we just want incremental density" in theory not practice www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

it's not just that Mamdani is charming af (he is), it's that he is normalizing the idea that children are full members of society that we all share a collective responsibility for

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit. Gentle Spades "I'm a veteran"

Archives matter - but not to the Carney government. Canada has only ONE federal funding program for community archives, and they just killed it. Gone. @wgreaves.bsky.social www.canada.ca/en/library-a...

I have enough trouble finding stuff *in* the freezer.

Please put him on Mt. Rushmore, then when he's gone they can carve a giant "WTF?" under his big ugly face.

I donate platelets every two weeks so I have no problem with needles but… no.

Colossal middle finger to any of the city workers who’ve been laid off thanks to ABC’s”zero means zero” decree.

I'm actually super embarrassed for the city and furious about this It's gaslighting and basically implies reporters are liars at a time when press freedom is already under attack. #journalism

Find the answer by using the @kenwhite.bsky.social principle. Works with most things but it was literally made for this moment.

Is this what Brenda Bailey means when she says “We must do better things with our dollars?”

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

“How many times, then, will Western journalists allow themselves to be fooled by Israeli propaganda – by military denials that later collapse under the weight of evidence?”

May it also remind men to query how what you find “attractive” has been shaped by these same fucked up standards and pushed by every form of media you’ve ever absorbed.

May the Epstein files remind every woman that she should not feel beholden to beauty standards established by men who are attracted to children.

Children make up about 30% of the over 70,000 people killed in Gaza. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

This is probably an unpopular opinion but your dog doesn’t “need” to be off-leash to get appropriate exercise and stimulation, especially in a sensitive temperate rainforest. Dedicated, gated and fenced off-leash areas are more appropriate for off-leash dog activity.

As someone with a 7-year BA in Theatre I can’t complain about my salary but some of these numbers are eye-wateringly massive. The higher echelons at UBC pretty much live on a different planet than the staff and most faculty. Never mind the students!

Meanwhile they've slashed our TA budget and we can't afford to provide lunch at our department meetings anymore

"There is a second or two where it was decided that I was a threat to public safety that warranted this kind of reaction and this type of force… I have so many questions, not just for myself but for others in the community who may have experienced something like this." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I tabled an e-petition today signed by 650+ Canadians calling on Ottawa to act on ghost gear, deadly plastic pollution harming marine life and fishers and, importantly, to continue funding the Ghost Gear Program the Liberals are letting lapse. The program works. Restore it.

Judging by the constant stream of ads on my instagram and fb, Mark Zuckerberg is really concerned about my heart rate variability.

I think the kids call this “cringe” nowadays.

CBC Ideas is really embarrassing itself tonight.

I don't want tax cuts that give me a new pittance every month, I want the government to tackle affordability at the top with a wealth tax and more corporate oversight.

This! 👇🏾 This! 👇🏾 This! 👇🏾

Canadian company Roshel can use this for their next commercial.

Watching Americans (and others no doubt) coming to understand this moment mostly makes me feel exhaustion for the Black women and labour activists who have been laying it all out for ever. Gratitude ♥️
