I recently read Bill McKibben’s latest book, Here Comes the Sun, and I highly, highly recommend it! It’s a bracing, lively and briskly evidence-based antidote to despair.

If you people don’t start using clippy we are gonna untwist him and poke someone’s eye out

Inspired by @toasty.cx saying modern design is ass, a reupload of my lil design banger thread from twitter alt text contains model onfo where I have it!

“The collapse of the AI bubble is going to be ugly…AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a finance sector & tech monopolists run amok.“ Read this article by @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy. Whether you agree with it all or not, it’s important.

If anyone works at major HR firms and platforms (Salesforce, Workday, etc.) and has info about what drove adding these questions to job applications in the last few months my DMs are open and my Signal is SydneyBauer.30 You will have anonymity.

The Toronto Prosecutor's office ignored our video & witness statements & pushed this matter to the eve of trial. They finally relented and dropped all charges. A year of wasted resources and injustice. Read more about this case here 2/3: www.thebikinglawyer.ca/post/double-...

Hmong man detained by ICE today in St. Paul, Minnesota. (Photo via Reuters)

These nazi freaks need to spend the rest of their lives in cells. Abolishing ICE is the only acceptable position and anyone preaching anything less is of no use to humanity. Any Dem who gets wishy-washy washy on this should be forced out of office, let alone never receiving a dime or vote again.

Some winter scenes today of an LRT that worked well in the snow. Greetings from Kitchener-Waterloo, with its ION LRT trains running every 10 minutes, on time, with full signal priority! 1/2

Quite frankly, it’s outrageous that Mark Carney is cutting Statistics Canada. If he was Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre, I feel like this would be getting a lot more backlash. Carney of all people should know the importance of high-quality data and information about the country.

We collect far less data than most OECD countries and we have no way of measuring a lot of stuff we need to measure. Carney knows that an ignorant population is a docile population. He's ensuring we stay ignorant.

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

If he’s not careful he’ll get nelix

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Leaked documents about ICE deployment to Minneapolis suggests they're more worried about the backlash to Renee Good's death than they're letting on: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/immigratio...

I'm glad to see this pressure on Google and Apple. If any other company was running an active CSAM generator in public you better believe it would have been removed from their app stores by now www.wired.com/story/x-grok...

Trump: "Shazbot, nanu nanu!" Trump supporters: "He can speak French too? Is there anything this man can't do?!"

Deliberate underfunding of public healthcare by @fordnation & their extortion of legitimate federal funding for private for-profit gain is exactly what has led to decline of all healthcare in Ontario. The thieves are hiding in plain sight. Ontario is circling the drain.

DOES ANYONE WHO WORKS AT APPLE ACTUALLY USE AN IPHONE? What the actual fuck with the text editing???? Why am I in a fist fight with the cursor all day

Amalgamation — of Toronto, of Ottawa — is the original sin that has done more damage to these cities than any other policy. It’s an ongoing disaster that never should have happened. The decline of each city is directly attributable to it. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is longer than Doug Ford spent at Queens Park in 2025.

I get my news offa some stuff entering my eyeballs i can't remember where from!

Lobbyist Avis Favaro is playing dumb again. Hospitals are laying off staff because they are broke, because their funding has been reduced, and because legislation requires them to hire from agencies instead. Avis is laying foundation so you believe old Sylvia when she takes over hospitals.

Every single thing that the Ford government does makes our province worse. Every single thing.

Looks like @falseknees.bsky.social

Doug Ford has banned this kind of policy success from all of Ontario

The Narwhal sends journalists to the hard-to-reach places where important stories about the natural world in Canada are unfolding — stories that would otherwise go untold. Check out some recent highlights: thenarwhal.ca/2025-on-the-...

Alt Text: Doug Ford, currently under RCMP investigation, panders to his base by wearing an OPP sweatshirt while pretending to pack boxes at a food bank instead of improving rent control, increasing the minimum wage, building homes, increasing ODSP, or helping in any meaningful way at all really.

"A.I. for programmers as a learning aid is likely to shape up to be like those belly-jiggling machines from the 1950s and all the other things we humans have desperately made in an effort to try to get the effects of exercise without actually exercising." - ssokolow

I was just about to listen but then I decided I'd rather self-immolate.

“Americans are increasingly hungry for Italian piazzas, Spanish plazas, French places, & similar squares around the globe. But the joy of experiencing life in these public squares leaves some travelers disappointed when they return to the States.” Don’t let ANYONE tell you it HAS to be that way.

Yes, it’s why I’ve been talking so much about the “total costs of policing” and not just the police budget. This year the total costs are about $290m.

Same dude, our former ambassador to the USA, is also chair of the fake front building the mega casino and sports betting palace at Ontario Place, alongside his wife (Leslie Noble, who got Mike Harris elected twice) and the lobby shop they founded, StrategyCorp.

A million trees was a great sound bite during the election. But when push comes to shove, it’s not about aspirations, it’s about will. We have the means and the budget, we just didn’t make it a priority. We’ve opted instead to cut down trees, expand our suburban boundary and hamstring the future

bring back the lemonade and disconnect the robot that kills you

Oh my god y'all I had not seen the rest of the Vanity Fair photos holy shit. Christopher Anderson deserves a medal. Look at this. He left the LIGHT SWITCHES in the edited photos! These assholes look like their well-meaning mom took a picture of them on their first day in a grown-up job.

It’s wild to me that so many councillors are going to bat for the ultra rich while openly demonizing the poor. We need a city wide campaign to let constituents know that if you don’t live in a $3million + home your councillor dgaf about you

Chat GPT is very close to human consciousness because it complements me and is also a lady.

I did this interview at Yonge & St Clair, the reporter hoping he'd catch a gig worker bombing down the sidewalk. Instead a pickup truck was parked in the bike lane behind us, and for the entire conversation rider after rider was forced into traffic. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"The potential to have things seized will send a message that you can't ride on the sidewalk," Burnside said.

Local school kids "super excited" for when the dotted painted bike lane is finished and becomes a solid line. www.creativebyrovelo.com/therovelorec...

Legal observers at the Whipple Federal Building witnessed ICE agents swapping out license plates in the ICE staging location. Masked agents who already routinely refuse to identify themselves are now swapping license plates at whim to kidnap our neighbors and tear apart families.

As I was writing this piece on how Rob and Michelle Reiner's deaths have been exploited by the most ghoulish excesses of the dead celebrity industrial complex, I saw that true crime "influencers" were gathering outside their home to film content. gossipreadingclub.substack.com/p/rob-reiner...

"Libraries across Canada say a proposed change in the federal budget bill would end their ability to ship books at reduced rates, threatening interlibrary loan programs and possibly forcing the closure of rural facilities." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It's genius really. Fathead got to play Captain Canada AND drive more business to the Westons and Harper's CircleK AND he got to end some revenue to the LCBO, which he's getting rid of anyway. bsky.app/profile/corr...
