Considering who that Yale professor is, I think it’s more likely she advised him on the same aggrieved model minority myth that had built her own patronage.

I've laughed waaaaaay more at this than I should have.

We all know this is fascism.

Not directly related to anything but some of you haven't heard the story of Charles Barkley's friendship with Lin Wang and that's exciting bc you get to read about it today www.wbur.org/onlyagame/20...

❌👑 except...

We asked the mayor of Ottawa why he keeps posting such grim photos: defector.com/we-asked-the...

“WebinarTV, a company that bills itself as “a search engine for the best webinars,” is secretly scanning the internet for Zoom meeting links, recording the calls, and turning them into AI-generated podcasts for profit.”

"people have to live in the system we have now, but we should spend money on a better one for the future which wouldn't have these problems" is pretty much the opposite of unserious though

Take philosophy kids, otherwise you too could end up being fooled by people who feign contradictions.

An unaccounted for part of the economy is how much young people virulently hate AI, despite how aggressively it's being forced on them. They realize it's making their friends dumber and ruining the world and they want nothing to do with it. From the Penn student paper: www.thedp.com/article/2026...

Banning just private yachts and private jets will cut the most oil demand and also impact the least amount of people, but sure…

"My silence ends here." Read Dolores Huerta's statement about her decision to reveal that she was sexually assaulted by Cesar Chavez. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

Every single thing named after Cesar Chavez should be renamed for Dolores Huerta

Why is the broadcast sound so shitty

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

today all 9 people federally charged with "materially supporting terrorism", rioting, carrying an explosive, as part of an "ANTIFA cell" were found guilty on some or all charges. the case was based in part on being in Signal organizing group chats and possessing political leftist zines. important:

“When people, organizations, and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase. Giving is not a subtraction, it's intentional multiplication. When women thrive, we all rise.” Happy IWD 💜

Four tickets to the Toronto or Montreal show (kids love them) would have been ~$1200. plus hotel. plus shirts (obviously). plus…. Both sold out before it even got to general sale. I really really hate that trying to go to a concert has become a sport and I hold the bands ultimately responsible.

The thing with having a puppet as a leader is that your country can be tossed aside by the puppet master anytime he wants.

Me listening to new gorillaz: ‘oh this will be my favourite track’ [next track gets going] Oh ok- *this* is my favourite one Rinse and repeat

Another banger of a conference coming up this June by @collectivewlp.bsky.social. Looking forward to kicking back as an attendee this year. Oh wait, I'm Co-chair and co-organiser this year...

Well, colour me shocked.

This is unbelievable. Unbelievably sad. Unbelievably enraging.

We all know they (and bbc) were all set with a media package that lay blame on greens for a reform win by splitting the left wing vote. So prayers to those dim editors I guess who are scrambling today.

This is to remind people that Trump lied when he told us this billion dollar operation “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program when in fact we just learned (from Trump’s Iran envoy!) it did nothing and Iran is now a week away from having a bomb.

Can’t cook without feeling intense guilt…

I made an app. play.google.com/store/apps/d... Nearby Glasses is here to warn you when smart glasses are nearby. I hope it's useful for someone. Nearby Glasses's open source, free and rather simple github.com/yjeanrenaud/... It's also downloadable outside the Play Store. iOS port is in the making

"They did remove Akinola Davies Jr’s shout of “Free Palestine!” and Alan Cumming’s comparison of “Lies, corrupt leaders, poisoning and persecution of a race” themes to America, it seems a perverse decision not to remove an appalling racial insult." www.theguardian.com/film/2026/fe...

Suprematism, by Nikolai Suetin, 1920-21, 📸 by @tiltoncreative

Love when my work habits are reinforced

1/ I've read that Queen was not in possession of facts that the current monarch is now in possession of. I fail to understand why Palace reps say this as though it absolves her of responsibility. She was *The Queen*.

"The last royal arrest was in 1647 during the English civil war, when Charles I was detained by forces aligned with parliament. He was convicted of high treason and executed on 30 January 1649." well then.

Your daily bananas Trump corruption story: It's about a bridge connecting Michigan to Canada that's due to open, until the billionaire owner of the existing clogged bridge called Trump and asked him to keep the new bridge closed. Nuclear grade corruption. All out in the open.

The Attorney General defended her decision not to prosecute child sex traffickers by observing that the Dow is up.

To the first responders and teachers in Tumbler Ridge who acted immediately to help those in need — you are the best of Canada.

In a pretty grim decision - with one very considerable silver lining - the High Court has dismissed our challenge to the EHRC Interim guidance. A number of resources follow in a 🧵.

A new study has shown that miscarriage or induced abortion is NOT a potential risk factor for breast cancer, contrary to continued anti-choice propaganda. Even several abortions or miscarriages does not increase risk. The study used high-quality Finnish registry data.

Something that John Gardner once said to me, which has stuck with me, is that if you think someone who you respect has views that are bigoted and intolerant, then it it precisely out of respect for them that you should tell them that their views are bigoted and intolerant.

The Atlantic’s profile of Bondi has some wow. @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Wow who could have ever foreseen a white woman using tears to manipulate power! I, for one, am stunned. (Yes it’s good character detail.)

I know it's early and facts are few but - if I were @mark-carney.bsky.social, I would be looking into undoing The Long-Gun Registry Repeal Act.

Let's hope Canada - and Canadian media - reacts differently to this than the US did to Columbine (e.g., by not giving NRA talking points any degree of legitimacy)

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

A lot of people think this pertains to Russia. I have dibs on Qatar. Trump traveled to the Middle East in May 2025, including Qatar. I'm also going to assume that the "person close to Trump" is one of his genetic mutations. And because they cited Executive Privilege, Trump is implicated in a crime.

Greed

I really don’t like that @wyden.senate.gov reposted @dell.bsky.social not liking @wyden.senate.gov’s letter to ratcliffe

This was *entirely* avoidable. That the government and uuk think this is a ‘blueprint’ should appall everyone.

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed. ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them

Opened Bluesky. Saw this. Will now be closing Bluesky for the day.
