Important.

it's only racial profiling if it comes from the racial profiling region of france. otherwise it's sparkling reasonable suspicion.

If you're complaining about independent media asking you to pitch in as a paying subscriber, I can only assume you are happy with "free" billionaire-owned corporate media monetizing your attention, selling you to advertisers, and immersing you in oligarchs' self-serving content.

AI is theft.

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

He just... stopped speaking.

AI too.

The US is about to see waves of preventable death & disease because what started as "medical freedom" has turned into the destruction of American science & public health. I will do everything in my power to stand up for science, health, democracy, & the rule of law in Canada.

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

OK this is funny

Et tu, Sugar Sammy?! #Saudi #Comedy #Montreal

Wow. @merriam-webster.com, I love you.

Godspeed Jane Goodall, from whom I learned 3 important things 1) People need to be around plants. 2) Compassion is a fundamental human trait, exhibited even in the primate world - a precursor to love and altruism. 3) Chimpanzees have fun parenting, and we should too.

Good reminder, from a US historian. MAGA and technofascism are shocking but not surprising. We should take nothing for granted!

A friend is going to see Louis CK in Montreal next week. I mentioned his selling out to be in the Saudi comedy festival/PR stunt. “We can’t boycott every country,” he says. But directly shilling for the Saudi govt seems.. different.

My 11yo was reticent about Orange Shirt Day. Turns out cultural genocide bums him out. We talked about acknowledging past harms & ALSO celebrating survival, and looked at examples of Indigenous cultures thriving today, from Métis jiggers to Elisapie to puppets teaching the Kanien’kéha language.

September 30 is Truth and Reconciliation Day in Canada. I’m grateful for residential school survivors who carried languages, traditions, families, and identities forward despite systematic actions designed to snuff them out.

This is so embarrassing. They can't even pretend this is anything but exploiting fears for political purposes.

Ha!! Democrats are so lame.

This is really important.

Can't we just get healthcare

Good news from Moldova!

Why are people saying "this is not normal" over and over again, instead of "this is illegal" or "this is unconstitutional" or "this is treason?" Not normal sounds subjective, wishy-washy and neurotic. It communicates nothing of substance.

The delightful US ambassador Pete Hoekstra is hinting at the possibility of stopping airport preclearance, thereby making US travel even less pleasant.

What fresh hell is this?!

I guess Trump doesn't know an escalator can never break; it can only become temporarily stairs.

My opinion on Tylenol causing autism is that they should release the Epstein files. #StayFocused

I say we stage scenes like this everywhere tomorrow. #Rapture

This is not a victory for free speech. It is a victory for capitalism.

Very glad to Lego sets featuring paper packaging!

Everyone should read this brief, urgent plea for regulating AI by prominent thinkers, including ppl at the forefront of AI development. "Governments must act decisively before the window for meaningful intervention closes."

Zuckerberg believes these silly glasses will be more popular than phones. There goes another piece of our humanity! At least we'll be able to immediately identify technofascism supporters.

Asked for an explanation about the presence of the plane, Defence Minister David McGuinty said: "I know nothing about it." This may be an above-board, if unusual, event, but I'd prefer clearer answers from our officials about unexpected visits from military planes of hostile foreign powers.

Take-away from curriculum night at a Montreal elementary school: Thanks to CAQ budget cuts, teachers are photocopying tests and worksheets on their own dime because their photocopy allocation has been slashed.

We, too, are disappointed that you came to Canada.

A friend asked me for talking points to help her express concerns about AI at work (she works at a high school). Many people feel uneasy being asked to uncritically embrace AI, but find it hard to cohesively explain why.

Always surprised to see American tourists sporting red hats with white writing that you can only tell don’t say maga once they get close enough, visiting my Canadian neighbourhood of Old Montreal. Glad you’re here, but what an interesting sartorial choice!

omg. It made my day to see Zuckerberg and his LiveAI crap fail spectacularly onstage. While watching recall that he became one of the most powerful people on earth from making a hot or not machine.

Anyone? ANYONE?!?!

Canada what is going ON!! @mark-carney.bsky.social, you can't be serious allowing this!

I've seen a few posts decrying the "celebration" of Charlie Kirk's death. However, I have not heard or seen a single person, on my social media or in real life, actually celebrating.

Nice one Brazil!

Dangerous rhetoric from one of Canada’s most embarrassing politicians directed at a journalist commenting very reasonably on Charlie Kirk.

Oh that's so nice but no thank you! #LasVegas #BuyCanadian

Now this is a headline

Gonna be doing a lot more liking now that we have BOOKMARKS!!

NYT et al headlines can be infuriating but this one is effective. No “Trump appears to normalize domestic abuse…” or “Trump minimizes…” or “…resorts to unprecedented rhetoric”, just- “Trump says,” and then the thing.

It sucked breaking the news about Ken Dryden to our little goalie. This is one of his favourite works at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (@mbamtl.bsky.social) Au revoir M. Dryden. You were a masterclass in hockey and life in general.

Fascinating read by about Trump at the tennis match. Could the tepid reaction be partially due to fear of being ejected, after having paid $$$$ to be there? (yes, this is an uncharacteristically optimistic speculation)
