They give me minor panic attacks and periodically crash my computer but you see I cannot possibly close any tabs. Too important. Don't ask me how I know they are important given that I can no longer navigate them with anything but the sinking sensation of doom.

If you're in Illinois and facing criminal charges from protesting ICE, or if you were attacked by ICE or law enforcement supporting them, I might be able to represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Currently at: — only buy tech too old to have AI built in — painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well — if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool — if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts — patiently wait for the crash

American Christians deciding the Pope doesn't know the Bible because he said immigrants are human is the perfect summary of the evangelist movement

These are headlines the Ford govt doesn't want. "Brampton city council has voted unanimously to continue its automated speed enforcement (ASE) program... Officials say the average speed of a ticketed driver in Brampton is 15.7 km/h over the posted limit..." #OnPoli

Donated.

1. Dr. Jane Goodall 1934 - 2025 In 1962, a very young woman named Jane Goodall stepped into the African forest. What she would discover shattered our understanding of the place of human beings in the world. She revealed that chimpanzees use tools, form bonds, and experience emotions.

The people at this ostrich farm are the same gang that opposed M-103, co-opted yellow vests, push UN / WEF conspiracies, opposed lockdowns, face masks and vaccines, occupied Ottawa, harassed people at drag story time events etc It’s all the same far-right influencers and content creators every time

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

anyway, reminder that Brando Sando is a mormon in good standing aka he tithes 10% of his income to a church that just announced they filed a brief saying that protecting trans rights infringes on their religious freedom ✌️

I, too, would make sure that all the people who would need to coordinate to halt or reverse my political progress were gathered from across the planet in the same room while I demonstrated why they should probably do that

A reminder of what we have yet to reconcile.

Instead of taxing the rich to feed his Military Industrial Complex, Carney has decided to literally take food out of the mouths of babes.

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"

I want to talk about generative AI because of the defeatist impulses chronicled in this article. While simply expresssing a defiant attitude cannot always change lived-in reality, in certain cases it definitely can. This is in part because, early on, a conflict can exist at a perceptions level. 1/?

In 2015, Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission issued ninety-four Calls to Action for repairing the Crown’s relationship with Indigenous peoples. A decade later, most remain unfulfilled. Seven Indigenous writers reflect on the work still to be done: thewalrus.ca/truth-and-reconc...

I started tracking the TRC's Calls to Action in 2016 and, since Eva Jewell and I stopped writing annual reports in 2023 out of despair, things have only become more bleak. No meaningful structural changes have been made. They were never even attempted. A clear-eyed take from @michellecyca.com

please read this story today from @moiradonovan.bsky.social, with incredible photos by Darren Calabrese, which considers the physical history of the residential school system and survivors' efforts to ensure this history is never forgotten

I don't like talking about the hate & abuse I received in politics. I don't need sympathy. But we do need change. And I promised to support women & girls who want to go into politics. So here is my story. We need to stop this. Now. 🔗 thewalrus.ca/they-called-...

In Thunder Bay, an Indigenous artist and ’60s Scoop survivor is using music and education to fight for Indigenous justice and give hope to the next generation. This is @shy-anne55.bsky.social's second act. New feature from @jonthompson.bsky.social: ricochet.media/indigenous/f... #NorthernOntario

incredible choice for "victim of the Canadian housing crisis"

Wow! Brilliant for writers!

Fucking finally available in Canada!

Hey friendos with depression! Did you take your meds and have a shower today? Please be good to yourselves.

oh look, it’s literally the thing i wrote about for @rollingstone.com happening in real time. as we speak. like exactly what i reported, like a carbon copy. as a reminder, here’s what i said people within the party and trans care advocates believe will most likely happen next.

I keep finding mantises in my plants and every time it delights me

as an author of a book on reparations I am intimately familiar with the move people make from "the thing you want isn't politically viable right now" to "you shouldn't want it, talk about wanting it, or even think about it" but it never stops being weird to me

Let's be perfectly clear: executive order or no executive order, "domestic terrorism" has always meant whatever the government at the time wants it to mean. The FBI used to infiltrate vegan potlucks, y'all. Don't panic. Don't stop organizing. Just be careful and take care of each other.

A country is not a business, nor should it be run like one. Public services shouldn’t be expected to turn a profit.

🧵A few notes for all the haters bitching about Violet Affleck’s speech to the U.N.: She’s not a kid. She’s a 19-year old woman. She’s not unqualified. She’s currently a student at Yale University, which has a 4.5% acceptance rate, and is pursuing a public health degree. (1/4)

Mayors in municipalities that use speed cameras to keep children in school zones safer, like Burlington's Marianne Meed Ward, have done a great job in interviews countering Doug Ford's almost entirely child-free messaging (yes, I've analyzed this) about speed cameras. #OnPoli

"War-ravaged" Portland today... #WarRavagedPortland

“These recommendations amount to service cuts, contracting out and major rollbacks to important provisions in our existing collective agreements” - @cupwsttp.bsky.social

"In some places, French postal workers now pick up prescriptions, return library books, and deliver flowers. Last year, only twenty eight per cent of La Poste’s revenue came from sending mail." Services can evolve in positive ways to meet new and growing needs.

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

Noticed there's a picket up outside my local post office, so I am going to bring them some cookies in a bit. If you are in Canada and near a CUPW picket line, I am sure the folks there would appreciate some snacks or a friendly wave/honk.

And not only this. Anyone who saw the Premier try to defend the ban on trans health care the other day heard her say “babies” over and over, as if creating more Albertans should be every youth’s life goal and purpose. The Handmaids Tale was not just a banned book, it’s our reality here now. #abpoli

In discussion with a computer scientist from the University of Cambridge last night: Me: "you've described some of the things that AI is good at. How would you describe the category of things it's not good at? **pause** Him: "Anything where it has to be right".

I bet you - I *bet* you! - that if I walked into the library and told a librarian this they would get a feral light in their eyes and drag me to a bunch of resources. I knew they were going to be offering a course/coaching for money but this is many times more than I had guessed

This is what happens when you fuck with the money. Disney lost the theme park adults and freaked. Sinclair noticed people doing the thing people never do - calling their sponsors. REMEMBER THIS FOR THE NEXT TIME. Speedrun that shit.

If you don't think road safety should be left to governments holding majority control with only 40% of the vote, demand proportional representation.

“An independent analysis of 45 right-wing groups advocating against trans rights found that 80% have received donations from fossil fuel companies or billionaires.”

Speed enforcement cameras work to keep neighbourhoods safe by reducing dangerous speeding. I and @catmckenney.bsky.social ask you to write to your MPP and Premier Ford to oppose legislation that would ban their use in Ontario cities.

The economics of books aren't quite the same as the economics of card sets. They cost less, but involve more dedicated work by one person, which means that in most cases, they take longer. A book represents a major leap of faith for a franchise like Magic. Let's earn it.

Well, that sounds like a THEM problem.
