Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

No, that's politics. Science is about evidence, testing, and validation.

“Antifa Ost” literally means “Antifa East.” It’s not a formal organization but a label used by German police, intelligence services, and media to describe a cluster of more militant anti-fascist activists in eastern Germany.

"The Dept of State is designating German-based Antifa Ost, along with 3 other violent Antifa groups in Italy and Greece, as Specially Designated Global Terrorists and intends to designate all four groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, effective November 20, 2025" www.state.gov/releases/off...

One of the 17 year old girls Matt Gaetz allegedly trafficked and had sex with needed the money to pay for braces. She ended up homeless and working at McDonald's. Just incredibly bleak stuff. archive.ph/CV16n

1/3: I tweeted when Trump was first elected that he's America's first charismatic leader - not in the Obama and Tom Hanks sense, but in the Weberian sense.

Epstein emails sinking more journalist careers than Trump's career

Want to catch a recording of the debate I did at @ubcokanagan.bsky.social on whether there is a crisis in masculinity? You're in luck! You can listen to the audio on YouTube (www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VyS...) or SoundCloud (soundcloud.com/ubcokanagan/...). It was a good night with interesting folks

Imagine one of the worst people on Earth saying this about you, and the you happens to be Donald Trump, the President.

I'm not a journalist, but I do a lot of interviews. And this exchange with Michael Wolff is grossing me out. Dude is out here giving advice to a pedophile.

This is the guy who thought Cornel West's scholarship wasn't good enough for Harvard.

Clark: So what are we doing here today? You have already voted to dismantle medicaid, the largest health care program in America. A program that covers 40% of all births in this country. 40% of children in this country. 40% of disabled people in this country.

On this day I always recommend reading The Guns of August, a superb book about how the events of August 1914 led to a global conflict that killed and wounded tens of millions. President John F. Kennedy was so impressed by it that he ordered the Pentagon to send a copy to every general.

NEWS: The UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

Propaganda does not rely entirely on unassailable evidence and impeccable logic to discipline its targets. Neither can the response, writes Calum Matheson, an associate professor and chair of the Department of Communication at the University of Pittsburgh.

And I got the newest (and fantastic) book, which I had already started reading as an e-book, edited by @maargentino.com and @amaramarasingam.bsky.social With a beautiful dedication ❤️ I highly recommend it to all scholars in the field. We can make the world safer 🇧🇷🫱🏻‍🫲🏼🍁

SCOOP: Alexander Smirnov, the FBI informant convicted of lying about a fake bribery scheme involving the Bidens has been quietly released from prison just months into a six-year sentence—raising concern he could be pardoned by Trump any moment. jacquelinesweet.substack.com/p/fbi-inform...

If you ever feel you're suffering from imposter syndrome, just remember there are "academics" who can't comprehend the title of the book, let alone be bothered to read said book, or take 5 minutes to look the authors corpus before making these bold claims. This shit slaps hard if you're dumb

SCOOP (free, as it's FOIA-based!): I obtained 1,665 pgs of documents about "Bicken Ben," a growing private school the Zuckerbergs ran illegally out of their Palo Alto compound Neighbors complained the school for years. Then, in 2024, they reached their breaking point: www.wired.com/story/mark-z...

Dimitri Soudas, former Harper comms guy, told RadCan this morning that he's hearing Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux will cross the floor to the Liberals today. If this happens, the Liberals are one seat short of a majority. You know what that means. That's right. Elizabeth May is Kingmaker.

Matthew Althorpe is appearing in a Toronto court right now to schedule his sentencing. He recently changed his plea to guilty. Althorpe is appearing over Zoom from the detention centre. globalnews.ca/news/1147175...

Mamdani may be young but we know who the real toddlers are.

They’ve started running Dick Cheney through the Charlie Kirk sanitation machine. The man pushed false WMD claims, justified torture, and expanded unchecked executive power after 9/11. He showed zero remorse for the hundreds of thousands who died in Iraq. Like… stop it.

Essential listening...

Imagine if Canada was investing in research and universities, instead of burning everything down.

Without immigrants, this World Series would be a two on two.

There is a real and scary rise of far-right extremism happening right now -- but we need to be careful not to make this into a witch hunt. Far right culture exists, but not everything they embrace is only embraced by them. @amaramarasingam.bsky.social and @acmack.bsky.social explain the nuance:

My 11-year-old officially works harder to accommodate people at his birthday parties than the Quebec state.

This was such a blast! So grateful when folks in the media give academics the space to talk about our work in accessible and public-facing ways.

Bill 94 has passed in Quebec. Students and staff will have to attend school with their faces uncovered. Menus adapted to religious restrictions will be prohibited. Absences or leave granted to staff for religious celebrations also gone. montreal.citynews.ca/2025/10/30/q...

It's new article day! So excited that this piece with @luccousineau.bsky.social and @iamryanhopkins.bsky.social is out in the world. In it we work through our experiences studying the far-right & propose some ways universities can better support students. journals.library.brocku.ca/index.php/SS...

This has to be satire right

LIVE at 12pmET TODAY! There’s nothing scarier than a true story. So we’re breaking down something terrifyingly real (and cringe): far-right culture.

From tradwives to fashwave, memes to comics, it's the modern face of the far right. @amaramarasingam.bsky.social and @acmack.bsky.social join me!
