Transit in this city is horrendous. Those who rely on it suffer the most - how can we justify increasing fares when this is allowed to happen? How can we convince others to ride when this is the risk they're taking? The city council in #Ottawa led by @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social is failing us.

Seconded. Official motto of 2026

"You see, what happens is that if you give the rich guys more money, then they have more money to share with the poors. It just kinda trickles down, like magic! Get it? It's a win-win for everyone"

Maybe I'm missing an important point, but the Ford gov's claim that "Landlords will lower rents if they can rent out more of their properties now that we've given them more power over tenants" feels like something you'd say if you'd never literally never heard of capitalism before in your life.

"The idea of an Epstein class is helpful because one can be misled by the range of people to whom Mr. Epstein ingratiated himself. Republicans. Democrats. Businesspeople. Diplomats. Philanthropists. Healers. Professors. Royals. Superlawyers. [...] This diversity masked a deeper solidarity."

In the last 24 hours, I've watched clips of journos just *sitting there* while DJT calls their colleague "piggy" for asking a question, and now while he dismisses the horrific murder of their colleague by the guy right next to him as "things happen". This is all so pathetic.

Loser throws up a white power symbol while talking to the Vice President, who chuckles and responds, "I like this guy!" Share far and wide, since the media refuse to call out the reality of what this administration represents.

You know what makes me crazy? All the people who froth at the mouth about what is happening, scream about the fall of democracy, but won’t do one single concrete thing to back up those words. ARE YOU SUPPORTING THESE COMPANIES? We have power in our wallets. USE IT!

Love this idea. ❤️

AI companies should go under and financially wipe out VCs. exec's should go to prison for putting systems into the world that were instrumental in numerous suicides without any consideration for those risks. there should be consequences for experimenting on the public on roads and in social settings

This is grotesque. What are we even doing, here? People all over the world struggle to eat, stay healthy, and live safely. People work and toil just to stay afloat. Why on earth do we abide such vile greed? Fuck this shit, and fuck this demented ghoul.

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

The fact that so many people both inside AND outside of NYC are thrilled right now should give us hope that all is not lost. This Canadian is very excited tonight! A democratic socialist? I'm this economy? LFG! 🥹

This is such a blow to free speech and sound journalism. @teenvogue.com has offered some of the strongest political commentary over the last several years. Their reach is vast. Now their political journalists are being fired...presumably to satisfy the U.S. government/U.S. oligarchy. Shame on you.

Agree! Learning about Ohtani and how we love him and also prefer when he's not playing has been my favourite discourse of the week. Glad you had one another to lean on while trapped in extra innings hell last night. Thumbs up to all my baseball pals on here ⚾

Donald Trump is the first president in US history to deny food to citizens.

Aside from...everything about this gross and ugly monstrosity (and the circumstances under which it's being realized) How wild is it to witness this, just in terms of historical echo? It's like...their tacky Versailles. And you know what eventually happened there.

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

I agree! 🙋‍♀️ Ontario friends - sign and share!

American friends - take note and take care!

At the 12 second mark, that camera operator called an audible and just said "fuck it, the lane is clear, no tripping hazards, I'm winning a Sports Emmy for cinematography right now"

For God’s sake let us sit upon the ground And tell sad stories of the death of kings

Canada is a wild place

These activists were so brave, when world is in such short supply of decency and humanity. How is this treatment acceptable in any way?

The history books are gonna be bonkers if we make it out of this timeline's sludge

There's a lot of ugliness described in this article. Be ready for that if you proceed to read it. Honestly though, why do these racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic losers feel the need to deflect or hide their views (or faces)? Stand on business, you pathetic Nazi fucks. The charade is getting old.

I say it all of the time because it's true. On the whole, we aren't brave as individuals. But there's strength in numbers.

Go Bills

This work is hope, strength, community...this is resistance! Don't give up, friends ❤️

Efficiencies? My mom just waited 3 days (2 of them in the ER) for surgery to repair her shattered leg. The nurses had to watch her lying there & couldn't even feed her because they didn't know when it might be her turn. Ontarians need to wake up. Doug Ford is destroying all of our public services.

Friends before you go posting about the Nobel committee sticking it to Trump, just take a beat & read up on the winner first. There are weird gotcha posts flying across my feed that sound really silly. *This post is not a commentary on Venezuelan politics. **I too am glad he didn't get the prize

Can't decide if I want to attack this nonsense from the correlation=/= causation angle, the study design angle, or the research ethics angle. Decisions, decisions...

WATCH: ‘Portland Frog’ pepper balled by ICE agents

If you’re apprehensive that what you say or do now could come to haunt you in a more authoritarian environment in the future then this is your absolute cue that you absolutely must say or do something now.

This is, without any exaggeration, exactly how Putin and Orbán proceeded — using antisemitism to discredit the idea of civil society and political opposition, and as an excuse to undo the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

I'm just gonna say it I feel like there's been a weird surge in the word "foment" in the last few weeks. It keeps popping up all over in posts, blogs, news articles...so much fomenting. Listen, I love learning a new word as much as the next nerd, but let's not overdo it ok? Stop fomenting foment.

I really enjoyed this piece by @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social and think you might, too. It's really grounding in this discombobulating timeline.

Oh nothing to see here…just Trump’s Chairman of the FCC using gifs to confirm that everything he’s doing was in Project 2025 that he co-wrote

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Ottawa! The city is exploring measures to address the very real problem of renovictions. They're looking for feedback and the deadline is October 31. If you've been renovicted or are living at risk of it, weigh in!

I resent that I have to read about brain rot gamer memes to understand current socio-political discourse. I dread having to try and explain any of this to my husband & other not-terminally-online people. Skibbidi toilet nearly broke me. My existential despair has reached a new wretched depth.

The far-right playbook includes engaging in bad-faith debate - often using bullying tactics & heuristics to twist a conversation. Meaningful discourse is never the goal; it's tearing the other person down for ego points. Listen to Lurie Daniel Favors shut that shit down. Delicious. 10/10, no notes.

When I was on the bird site, I was traumatized by some if the awful content that would autoplay on my feed. I think there's also some graphic content making the rounds right now. I highly encourage all my Bluesky friends to take the time to turn off their autoplay, if you haven't already. ❤️

Area man who dropped out of college and worked at his dad’s business before becoming premier and only showing up for work 50% of the time stands on the lawn of the home he inherited from his mom to tell young people that if they can’t find a job it’s because they’re not looking hard enough.

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.

Hey, #science friends. Grab a coffee and settle in. Here's a cautionary tale about an experience I've had trying to publish a manuscript in the era of #AI. This is not about authors using AI. It's about seemingly credible *journals* using AI. Spoiler: it has not gone well. 🧵 (1/15)

I was mesmerized every time I saw Graham Greene on the screen. His range was incredible and he was always so captivating in every role, no matter how big or small. What a great loss - but what a great gift to have seen his work. Rest in peace.

Man, I'm gonna sit with this one for a few minutes.
