Know some people in the BC NDP. One told me they felt "sick" when the Con parties merged as it would mean that the last election was going to be tight. I remarked that Rustad was the best leader for the BC NDP in this regard in that he was such a fringe job. 1/2

There's lots of hockey players who are right wing and support people I can't stand. What I've found interesting so far about this, is that the only reporting I've seen about this in the news media has focused almost entirely on the player who's black.

The fanatics have seized power

Recently found out that a venue in Toronto cancelled a fundraiser for my wife who was arrested and charged for protesting genocide because Geddy Lee called and complained. Fuck this guy.

Yeah I know that I'm just not dumb enough to think a journalistic outlet saying "appears to be" is some sort of malpractice. They literally said it looks AI generated. They didn't get a confirmation. That's how they say it. Of all the bullshit NYT pulls, this is not A Thing

NEW: After years of Canada claiming it won't support Azov Brigade due to its far-right ideology and neo-Nazi links, the Canadian Defence Attache in Ukraine met with Azov at the Embassy this summer. An Azov contact said it was a “friendly and open dialogue.” www.readthemaple.com/canadian-emb...

This biopic keeps writing itself.

Homophobia; it leads to nothing but pain.

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.

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Canada Post isn't broken, but the rules are: Outdated regulations and unfair competition are holding back a service Canadians still depend on every day.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

New analysis of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first 100 days after the federal election show oil and gas, mining and other industrial groups made up about 60 per cent of lobbying records. Environmental groups couldn’t get a word in. thenarwhal.ca/carney-natur...

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

Aw dang. Looking for Mr. Goodbar is still one of my faves.

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.

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
