Quebec is the “eye of the storm” of Mark Carney’s deportation blitz. As @desaima.bsky.social & @desmondcole.bsky.social report, CBSA agents are increasingly confronting migrants in workplaces and schools and rushing deportations before legal options for asylum seekers have played out.

this is a radical position but I believe that if you are a person of integrity you should not be using far right wing propaganda websites owned by sociopaths

NEW POST: Bill C-34's Social Media Ban for under 16s is Unconstitutional emmettmacfarlane.substack.com/p/bill-c-34s...

Devastating findings but ultimately no evidence that X will be punished in any meaningful way for creating 6k nonconsensual sexual deepfakes an hour, mainly of women and children.

It’s almost like Carney’s entire economic plan is insulating the worst people in the world and creating new markets for them while fucking the rest of us over short and long term.

Giving me Iron Tangle vibes for the Dungeon Crawler Carl readers.

Fully autonomous, AI-controlled drones have killed human soldiers for the first time: www.newscientist.com/article/2529...

Is this like the NBA version of “it was 4-1” but on a much more epic scale?

Headline pretty much sums up how this policy is bullshit right out of the gate.

So then… the Panthers are cock blockers?

so i got laid off from elite prospects yesterday. but that doesn't mean i'm getting out of the takes business. i am more committed to takes than ever. so i hope you'll check out my new site for perfect takes. its called "perfect takes." thanks. perfecttakes.beehiiv.com

If you DON'T criticize your own chosen party/politician. You are not involved in politics, nor interested in making things better, you are a cheerleader.

Wait. For. It. NASA animation shows Global temps warm slowly at first, then rapidly. Warming is accelerating! Here’s the truth. It’s real. It’s us. And we have to come to terms with it, and deal with reality, rather than deceiving ourselves, and hoping it goes away. It won’t… without intervention.

This is exactly it. The work is the point.

Subban's post-retirement career has brutalized his public image in a way I don't think anyone could have predicted.

Edmonton’s answer to falling short is to chase a coach who hasn’t been out of the first round since 2013, who couldn’t even hold a job into training camp at his last gig. Inept organization.

I’m sure this won’t be used with the massive surveillance infrastructure the Carney government is ramming through without allowing for debate. Definitely won’t result in anyone being oppressed. Not dystopian at all!

Cracking this open today

This is so unbelievably dangerous. This is what Carney means by using AI to streamline results or whatever: Making results worse for everyone while disproportionately affecting the marginalized.

much of the Pl*tner discourse lately evokes "masculinity" as a thing "he has" or "we need" in politics. so I will re-up this short essay from 2023 about how it's impossible to discuss masculinity without grappling with how ppl unconsciously view femininity juliaserano.medium.com/masculinity-...

Imagine walking in solidarity with a country that's slaughtered tens of thousands of children. Children. These children died in terror and flames and violence. Israel gleefully, willingly, repeatedly tore their tiny bodies apart. Every single marcher is a monster.

Speaking of Bari Weiss, she put a target on the back of the poet and professor Refaat Alareer in Gaza and he was assassinated by the IDF less than two months later. He, his brother, his sister, and four of his nephews were killed in a surgical strike.

Dammit. We lost a good one.

Just sparred for over 2 hours, walking home in a cool breeze. That’s the good shit.

Corporations every June.

Most Canadian politicians being total simps for techbros and Wab Kinew is out here being like "Fuck that." I recommend watching the video of the press conference because it's full of incredible mic drops. What a legend.

The guy with a nazi tattoo is a bad person??? Who would have guessed?

Alberta's referendum questions are "framed to divide us: to make neighbours into strangers, and strangers into threats," writes Jared Wesley. "We must reject this process and these questions." "What we need is a politics of dignity." #abpoli thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

Surprised it took Larkin this long to request a trade, honestly. Disastrous rebuild in Detroit.

the strategy is in part premised on the idea that canadians don’t trust AI because they don’t understand AI, and thus gov needs to spend loads of money procuring LLMs and paying industry-aligned people to make us “literate” on AI but just maybe canadians get what AI is and can see it’s bad news

If you don’t follow Julia’s work, you really should. Heavily researched, detailed timelines and receipts on the genesis and sources of anti-trans hate. Great way to inform yourself during Pride month.

I was going to share excerpts today, but I really need to take a breather right now, sorry. I'll do it tomorrow instead. in the meantime, if you QT with any excerpts you like today I'll try to re-post them!

The Canadian government has announced it will order the #CRTC to "review" its decision imposing a de facto 15% tax on large streaming companies to fund Canadian content, arguing this would lead to higher prices. www.canada.ca/en/canadian-...

Here's that story from 2023: thenarwhal.ca/lng-climate-...

Acting with decorum about this shit normalizes it. This is why liberals will always lose to fascists. They'd rather go along than risk standing up.

God of War: Laufey looks siiiiick www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_Rk...

Liberals and Conservatives investing in Floppy Disk factories while the world has moved on to WiFi and cloud storage.

This is another reason why Carney's procurement for 'defence' is a rank absurdity.

“The changing nature of war and emerging cost asymmetries also illustrate the absurdity of thinking more spending will protect us more, particularly if that spending is tied up in top-of-the-line American hardware.” Canadians would do well to think about this too.

Vegas can't do anything original. Stealing from the Habs gameplan

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

That uh... That Gallagher clip where he says he's clearly going to be moving on, revisiting the support his teammates had for him when his mom passed... Right in the feels.

Carney stans really don't understand that not only are they not changing any minds by leaping to his defense no matter what he does, they're making him seem even worse. Even if he was great, having rabidly annoying stans makes the object of that fandom more annoying just through association.

When the Victoire's bus turned the corner onto Ste-Catherine St, Ann-Renée Desbiens saw the crowd, realized she couldn't see pavement and was brought to tears. You can say it was a dream come true, but that would imply they even dreamed of this. Montreal made the day unforgettable. #PWHL

15 years since the Winnipeg Jets came back today.

Going into next season like…

Here is every *winner* going back to 2018

How the Stanley Cup Final teams were built. Only two players selected by either team in the first round. Only one top-5 pick (Svechnikov at No. 2... and oddly enough, Carolina only had the 11th-worst record that year. Big lottery luck).

People are just. So very bad at accessibility, huh?
