Told y’all about colonialism/imperialism and y’all called me a race-baiting grifter. Now what? If you read the National Security Strategy, it’s basically colonialism in print. But I talk too much about race, misogyny and class so y’all also called me a racist 😒🤨🤷🏾‍♀️

I just read the entire Southern Reach trilogy by Jeff Vandermeer including #4 Absolution; I'd read them before but never boom boom boom one after the other like that. My head may fall off, but I loved it. @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social

Putting most of this foolishness to one side, the question that’s been nagging me: *who* are America’s “adversaries in the Arctic region?” Trump’s totally in bed with Russia and half of everything Americans buy comes from China so who’s the “bad guy” here? I can only assume Karoline means Canada 😬

After the way everyone turned on THE MARVELS (still delightful btw) I hope this next genre movie from Nia DaCosta does gangbusters. She’s a great talent 🔥

Whoa. This totally tracks 😍

I assume I'm not alone in this, but .... Damn are my emotions raw lately. Everything is cranked up to 11, and liable to swing in a split second in response to the most benign and random stimuli. I feel like I've been soaked and then wrung out. This isn't sustainable for any of us.

this is what the fuck is up and she gets the message across in under a minute. she does not waste any time about how we have different viewpoints on shit or whatever. dude is a menace and needs to be stopped. more of this please

sure is neat watching history being rewritten in real-time which is then later extruded by the chatbots that we're all forced to use

day 2 of posting margot photos from the archives until morale improves

liberals need to think long and hard about what these guys consider communism before they start thinking they're safe

Returning to the office doesn't boost productivity. It lowers morale. One 2024 study from the University of Pittsburgh found that 99 percent of companies that implemented RTO mandates saw a drop in employee satisfaction. thewalrus.ca/return-to-office...

“Covid is over” might be the biggest lie sold to us in a staggering decade of lies

Scott Adams is, of course, a horrible bag of shit but his take on the Christian faith is more honest than a great many Americans

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Collective security has underpinned the security of the states of Europe—and Canada—for decades. The fact that the US under its current leadership no longer respects those commitments does not mean the concept no longer works. Rather, we need a powerful new commitment to collective security.

We're fucking doomed. Kushner has no business being here. There is no moral, political leadership left. They are all just bending the knee to Trump.

It's rare that LinkedIn serves me a gem but it did today via @pdan.bsky.social

Republicans: WE NOMINATE SKELETOR Democrats: We dislike Skeletor but we will vote to confirm him. Please give us between 5 and 50 dollars. <Later> Democrats: I stand before you to condemn the actions of Skeletor. He should have never been given this power. Please give me between 5 and 50 dollars.

Amazing to live in a country where every day you can watch Republicans gin up issue salience out of nothing but attitude and 4chan posts and a sizeable chunk of people think Democrats' only power is to vote yes or no on bills placed in front of them

Caracas takes to the streets to denounce American aggression today: Video: BreakThrough News via X @BTnewsroom)

Canada has a literal Minister of AI in @evansolomon.bsky.social and so far crickets. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Can’t be understated how the status quo on this stupid bridge entrance (which resembled the cinder block foundation of a house that was removed long ago) was profoundly disrespectful to thousands of daily users, and how this simple act immediately communicates that Mamdani respects us

Israel: We must keep bombing Gaza because that’s where all the Hamas terrorists are! Meanwhile, over on the West Bank...

Bobby and Aaron will return in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY 💥

NEW: We obtained 100 gigabytes of data from unlisted websites associated with Canary Mission, revealing their internal workings, employees, and an internal website called BlackNest where the group celebrated its “impacts”— arrests and deportations. www.dropsitenews.com/p/canary-mis...

corporate media and centrist pundits are largely ignoring the drop in crime because their focus on crime during and after the George Floyd protests was about racism 🤷🏾‍♀️

Because of the lack of black and brown people in it.

Quite possibly the best book cover I’ll see all year 🦖💚

My *extremely Canadian* explanation/theory for this is that GAC Coms couldn’t not get itself together in time to sign on. bsky.app/profile/luke...

my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

This is Michael Mann’s HEAT for women and gay men 🔥

The American people don’t need reminders, they need a *response* 😡 RETIRE ALREADY

American-owned media, coupled with the toxic effects of social media algorithms, have shifted the 'news' rightward significantly. I've seen the shift reflected in friends.

It's really silly how the right often portrays people who want renewables as lettuce munching wokie pinko hippy beatniks when a hard-nosed and pragmatic national security argument for them also exists right in front of their noses. Shackling ourselves to capricious foreign dictators to own the libs.

Us white Canadians need to get a lot better about specifying *white* Americans 👇🏼

Funny how all the loudest “DEFEND THE SEX-BASED RIGHTS OF WOMEN” people have been absolutely silent about this 👇🏼

Trump's great insight was that pre-Trump America was a paper tiger, nothing like as strong and united as it pretended to be:

This is one of the best of these I’ve seen. It really almost got me.

i think american life would improve significantly and quickly if society was more encouraging of people to have Hobbies. the most perfect and serene state of mind that exists is when one is Doing one's Little Things

18 months ago I was photographing birds in a US national park when someone jumped out of a car in front of a dozen witnesses, put a Glock to my forehead, and demanded my camera. This shot is from my first time out birding after that. Living like this is a deliberate choice.

“An abolitionist education means asking generative questions in the service of freedom-making and liberation for all.“ An interview with @prisonculture.bsky.social in @rethinkingschools.bsky.social

I just watched "Downey Wrote That," a documentary about the legendary comedy writer Jim Downey from SNL and Letterman. It talks about his love of the comedy of laboriously explaining things that don't require any explanation, as in this beautiful example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vooe...

It makes me so angry, what has happened to Palestine. For the people, their lives either lost or left in ruins. And also because the lack of action from the international political sphere means we've ended up showing Power what it can do to an entire nation.

A very satisfying holler from @sesmith.lol on algospeak and saying what we mean, new on @theflytrapmedia.com today! www.theflytrapmedia.com/algospeak-wi...

You might feel smug and morally superior by claiming January 6 isn't something to emulate, but that was only true so long as everyone actually enforced consequence. They didn't. And the moment they didn't, the illusion of your civilization crumbled. Pretending otherwise is a collective lie.

if you don't think that the US will do whatever it takes to get exclusive "access" to whatever "resources" it wants from Canada, and Canadian elites will gladly facilitate that process, I dunno what else to tell ya bsky.app/profile/jeff...

Chrystia Freeland's first act as Ukrainian economic advisor is suggesting they cancel Disney+

It's an MTV simulator with almost 30,000 videos, organized by decade, with special sections for Headbanger's Ball and Yo! MTV Raps. This is so good.

This is a post about Chrystia Freeland but it sure does sound like my Liberal MP and probably yours too 🫤
