‘She’s pretty stressed out’: Canadian mom speaks to CTV News about life with 7-year-old in ICE detention centre - On her 13th day in ICE detention, Canadian Tania Warner tells CTV News she’s the 'most stressed' she’s ever been in her life, and so is her seven-year-old daughter Ayla.

JK Rowling is not mentally ill! I can't believe I saw that claimed! Transphobia is nowhere in the DSM! Why do y'all need bigots to be insane so bad?

Hello people of Calgary, if you’re a fan of housing opportunity and choice, or just like free markets and reduced red tape, today may be the last chance to speak in the public hearing. #yyc www.calgary.ca/planning/pro...

apparently Wikipedia has more rigorous standards than every university on the planet, university administrators, edtech enthusiasts, (certainly more than) AI bros, several prominent academic journals, and too many professors and teachers

1/ Support 🇨🇦 #Media outlets that confront the #OngoingPandemic, & cancel subscriptions to those that don't. Enough is enough. We're 6 years in, & governments are still claiming to be "following the science", while ignoring #COVIDIsAirborne, & #LongCOVID - thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Back to demanding people post artist credits for their AI Slop posts.

One day I want to write an article about my mom's experience working as a flight attendant in the 80s because the stories of what she had to put up with are wild

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying. This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you. In the US Senate, I’ve got plan to ban it.

Local woman wakes up, locks JKR and her terfo fucko buckos in Azkaban guarded by dementors that end up becoming besties with the prisoners and so none of them ever want to leave, makes oatmeal.

JK Rowling is calling women athletes men even after they pass genetic testing. People in her replies are talking about these women having “ambiguous” genitalia. We are in an extremely frightening moment for ALL women thanks to transphobia.

“76 year old billionaire white guy feels pretty secure “ is kind of inspiring, I guess

You know what I've never seen in a Cybertruck? A passenger.

Wow. Fucking disgusting. Pierre Poilievre is such a loser, man. Note to everyone: if your rights become politically unpopular, Poilievre will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat, apparently.

This is really not helpful advice for a sick person! Just so you know! Many of those countries do not want disabled people to immigrate! This is like saying “some of us have money, have you considered inheriting?”

Iran’s FM Abbas Araghchi told the UN Human Rights Council that Iran has never sought war but will defend itself for as long as necessary. He was speaking at an emergency meeting on the attack on an Iranian girls’ school that killed more than 160 children.

New research suggests drought can stoke antibiotic resistance in soil bacteria — and that can have an impact on humans. n.pr/4s49Sc5

Good thing we have cuts to the CFIA.

BREAKING: Investigation into Andrew Tate's sex abuse allegations reopened, Hertfordshire police have announced!

Good article, and pessimism like this is completely justified. The NDP needs to actually have an identity and mechanisms that aren’t “cling to palatable language to win seats.” Actual coalition building. I’m very doubtful.

Today in AI: Canada rejected the PR application of a McMaster postdoc from the Sorbonne who works in the immunology of aging because the generative AI being used to process applications (😱) entirely hallucinated her credentials. Everyone involved should be fired. archive.is/ELrCI#select...

Keep the streak going! Yesterday’s water use was 483 million litres (ML) which keeps us in the green sustainable zone. Thank you for staying committed to saving water. To stay up to date on the feeder main reinforcements, visit calgary.ca/savewater

reactivating to share this. trans voices are barely heard even while we're busy being kicked around for political clout by abject weirdos and/or fascists. so shares are appreciated 🙏

Carney found 60 billion dollars for american weapons manufacturers pretty quick. it's amazing what can be accomplished when you put your neoliberal war mongering mind to it.

Oh, I wonder why the machine for generating nationalist sentiment is embracing fascism.

All the bootlickers in America want workers to be wage slaves to the rich cuz they hate Americans and they hate American workers and they hate American families. That’s capitalists. This is what everyone fights for. That’s American “values.”

While the onslaught of violence from the US and Israeli governments feels never ending, we remain clear-eyed. We will not look away and we will not stop fighting for a free Palestine. Stop arming Israel. jvpaction.org/blockthebombs jvpaction.org/irannowar

EXCLUSIVE: The federal government has decided not to seek charges against Aliya Rahman, the Minneapolis woman with a disability who was arrested and dragged out of Trump's State of the Union for... standing up. www.huffpost.com/entry/aliya-...

if you want to know the history of this kind of policy, I made a podcast two years ago that explained why these tests make no sense, how they were already used and eventually abandoned by the IOC in the 80's and 90's, and the devastating impacts they have on real athletes: www.tested-podcast.com

Like hell it doesn't. If anything, his government just pitched *more* integration on energy (read: oil and gas). www.politico.com/news/magazin...

NEW: The government tells Americans to use VPNs to protect their privacy. The government also automatically presumes communications of unknown origin are foreign. Foreign communications don't require a warrant to wiretap. Lawmakers who've done the math want answers. My latest @wired.com:

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says AHS is trying to get back some of the $49-million it paid to MHCare for drugs the company has not yet delivered. MHCare responds. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... w @tomcardoso.bsky.social

Meanwhile in Canada, Carney is making massive cuts to DFO, PHAC, Environment and Climate Change, Agrifood, closing research stations, etc. Worse than Harper.

Over half of the money hoarded in Canada’s private foundations should have been paid as taxes. Instead, it’s being funneled to wealthy institutions and organizations complicit in Israel’s military occupation breachmedia.ca/canada-super...

Truly the most craven of opportunists. Throwing an entire class of people under the bus for praise from a country that will find any excuse to call you woke and extract more concessions.
