Wow really impressive turnout at the Minas Tirith No Kings event

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

So, Bluesky is a farmers market.

I do in fact teach a J-school lesson every single year about verifying police claims, not uncritically repeating police talking points, etc., using this @manishakrishnan.bsky.social's classic. Always a huge hit with the teens www.vice.com/en/article/c...?

Canada Post isn't broken, but the rules are: Outdated regulations and unfair competition are holding back a service Canadians still depend on every day. By @simonenoch.bsky.social @policyalternatives.ca #canlab #canpoli camrosevoice.ca/business/can...

Is Canada Post doomed, a victim of tech changes and competition that made daily mail delivery irrelevant? Or has the 174-year-old institution been strangled by government policies that limited its chance to compete? @isaacphannay.bsky.social reports. #canlab

Pretty wild horse trading happening in France right now. The media line has been that no one is willing to work together, but that’s been utter nonsense. Macron keeps trying to sideline the left, but is now having to actually play ball. Not sure if there’s a longer game at play though.

Justice Anthony Kennedy literally wrote the Citizens United decision that is destroying democracy — and yet he’s now on a media tour saying he’s worried about democracy’s survival. And somehow not one media outlet he’s granted an interview has asked him about Citizens United.

Thought it was pretty amazing he killed off Dawn in Palindromes.

"...The unsentimental and raw representation of adolescence in Todd Solondz's WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE (1995) is the most poignant and personally enduring of the era." @nothingunfinished.bsky.social reviews the cringe comedy classic, screening on 35mm at UW Cinematheque this Sat, Oct 18, at 7 p.m.

My household gets letter and CP packages every day. Not everyone is do-nothing.

I’ve often noted that Fords meta-branding is trying to appear as combo of John Goodman (from Rosanne) and Tony Soprano. These stories help him, which is why he “recounts” them and which is why they are likely often made-up bullshit. 1/2

Pretty sure they boycotted the 2018 election with the opposition becasue they knew they were gunna lose. Then backed foreign intervention in Venezuela in 2020 including the foreign-imposed leader Juan Guaido. Wants to privatize Venezuela's state assets. 1/ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Couldn't agree more. This kind of predatory landlord behaviour needs to be curbed or we're going to lose our downtowns.

A+ headline, no notes.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes: - Without the patients' consent to participate in research - Affecting minors - 1700 of them - Taking highly sensitive information from said journals This is a HUGE breach.

Night of the Living Dead was released 57 years ago today🧟‍♂️

It’s a criminal-gang presidency. They specialize in self-enrichment and enrichment of allies through corruption and political influence and fixing the judicial system to avoid prosecution. When you realize this gang member is just the gang spokesperson, analysis becomes a lot easier.

Every mayoral candidate in the upcoming municipal election should be focused on restoring some of Montreal’s affordability. If you’re not prepared to fight for us, don’t expect us to vote for you. An editorial by @taylornoakes.com.

Bot and engagement accounts are a hidden hand shaping a lot of things

In 1992, a millionaire playboy died in Mexico in the ruins of his Love Joy Palace Ashram. Almost thirty years prior, he handed Dr. Harry Benjamin a blank check and set the stage for trans healthcare as we know it today.

Oh cool I helped make that happen

If I may redirect your attention north of the border to our own disturbing uses of power: this is, to use @amberbracken.bsky.social's phrase, chilling.

Guilty as charged

Paul Rogers in Oct 2023 vs today: Rogers: “The second phase will involve…creating a substantial buffer zone around Gaza. With Hamas defeated, the strip will be cut loose from Israel and will presumably become the responsibility of the international community” 1/ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
