I truly hate when little Right Wing Hitler youth open their mouths and give opinions in their over sized fake glasses, that they think will make them seem smart ,on things they know nothing about. But listen to a real farmer rip her apart.

Tell me again why you haven't shifted your banking to a socially responsible credit union?

#AI is already shaping the future of animals—and if it runs factory farms, billions of lives could be controlled by these systems. How should we design AI when so many lives are at stake? Watch the new documentary: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pFg... #FactoryFarming #AnimalEthics #PeterSinger

A.I. art will never happen

I'd say that this applies to anyone traveling in a car in any city. Being in a car versus walking, riding, or taking transit fundamentally changes how you view a place and your relationship to it. I wish more leaders set this kind of example. www.npr.org/2026/04/16/n...

Like, after nuclear weapons, the domination of beef in cuisine is probably the stupidest thing we’ve ever done as a species

Cattle use up about 50% of our agriculture lands and provide about 3% of our calories.

Why do I keep doing these stupid challenges?

Why do two people look at the same evidence and reach completely opposite conclusions? I discussed selective attention, sycophantic AI, political tribalism, and how it impacts leadership on the Culture Changers Podcast with Allison Hare: youtu.be/-upTCa6s7oc

The new Massive Attack x Tom Waits track and video are worth a listen and watch.

@mark-carney.bsky.social is turning me towards the NDP.

This is a lot of fun. Did I just say that about a sitar album? You’re damn right I did.

@jasonkpargin.bsky.social kills me. 😂💀

Mark Carney's decision to suspend the federal gas tax was dumb. The positions taken by Pierre Poilievre and Avi Lewis, on the other hand, were downright ludicrous. We can do better than this, folks. We have to. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/15/o...

The brain has no spare parts. Yet in cycling-first countries, helmets remain rare. Neuropsychiatrist David Linden sees the impact daily: brain injuries that could often be less severe with protection. Prevention matters. Wear a helmet. Read more 👉 edu.nl/xbqe6 #DagVanDeFietsHelm #Prevention

Yeah, that's bad. Dumb populism. Think about it this way: If you had a pot of cash to hand out, who would you send it to? I'm guessing you wouldn't say: “Folks who drive a lot are obviously the neediest; that's who deserves my cash.. Also, I would love to subsidize reliance on foreign oil.”

Gas tax breaks are bandaids at best. Real solution is to help low & middle-income Cdns get off fossil fuels. Invest in solar, heat pumps, batteries, EVs. Tackle barriers, offer real incentives & fund w/ windfall tax on Big Oil (who are laughing all the way to the bank). Cleaner, cheaper, healthier.

Old Fella can cuddle like this for an hour at a time now.

CODE RED. CODE RED. WE HAVE A LEAK.

Also, "woke" in the now-common white supremacist appropriated vernacular just means "I'm a bigoted and/or complacent piece of shit, and every reminder of the vastness of human diversity—up to and including simple basic acts of human decency—confront me with my moral failing, causing me to lash out."

Watching one of my favorite shows (The Bear - just started season 4) and one of my favorite tunes is in the episode. ❤️ youtu.be/l3VqAsMXE7o?...

Men. It's definitely men's fault.

To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those “query parameters” tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.

Post your favourite film from the year you turned 18… One film? Not possible.

Eliminating libraries in prisons is a disaster, completely shortsighted. Libraries are a lifeline for incarcerated people who want to learn and grow, and have few other options.

Got my second shot a couple of weeks ago after seeing the dementia research. Just do it.

It’s a good start.

Maybe having Tr#mp and his lapdog meddling in our elections could be a good thing?

I would love to see two sets of web analytics for the NYT from 2010 to today, one with all traffic and one with all stories about Tr#mp excluded. I wonder if that would tell a story?

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

There are many things I’m very proud of as a Canadian. MANY things. But every time I watch another media story about another ambitious push in renewable energy from China, I’m embarrassed that Canada isn’t aggressively working to quickly become a true global powerhouse in renewable energy.

When a book isn’t working, it’s time to switch it up. @tkingfisher.com never disappoints.

I should do a giveaway here too! I'll randomly select someone who retweets this to receive a signed copy of Daughter of Crows 🙂

Future tourist: Why is the lower six feet so discolored? Future resident: People keep rubbing their dog’s shit all over it. In the best case, it’s dog shit.

15 years ago, this would have been completely uncontroversial.

Hello. I just found out that a death metal band has covered John Cage’s 4’33”, and now I need you lot to know that a death metal band has covered John Cage’s 4’33”. youtu.be/voqCQSDAcn8

I’ve yet to hear a performance of this that I don’t love youtube.com/watch?v=YqUO...

Overheard while waiting in line. Woman 1: I would love to punch that guy (meaning Tr*mp) in the face. Woman 2: I could never do that. W1: Really? After everything he’s done? W2: I want to hit him … maybe more than anything. But, if I were to hit him once, I couldn’t trust myself to ever stop.

It’s hard to overstate how much of this moment is driven by people who got a taste of accountability and were very, very mad about it.

I frequently pause in front of them until they stop. Once I made a guy reverse back to the line. Nine times out of ten, it’s a man. Half the time, they are in an idiotically expensive car.
