This is not getting anywhere near the amount of coverage it should be getting. And, authors, this could very well kill any chance we had for our own AI class action lawsuits. He can exempt any individual or company from following any law (except criminal code) for 6 years at a time.

I signed this and if you live in Canada you should too 👇

alberta is hell for this right now, and the use of the notwithstanding clause has been a deep violation with no effective pushback. this province won't stop until it is stopped

Twin Peaks: The Return (Lynch: 2017)

Alberta has taken away healthcare from trans youth. Fuck the notwithstanding clause. It’s used to abuse human rights protected in the charter. That was never the intention. I am writing a piece and would like to speak to families in Alberta with a trans youth. Anonymous is fine

Read Elena Sénéchal-Becker's melancholic "Postscript for a Body" in Iss 33! That was the summer you chopped your breasts off the same summer my parents sat me down my mother smiling nervously to announce that she was doing it too ... www.thetemzreview.com/seacuteneacu...

Such a good article in Maisonneuve on how Canada Post is being dismantled, management is rolling out tech to try to emulate Amazon, and what Canadians collectively lose if they’re successful in gutting this public institution.

I’m about to publish a gorgeous roundup of holiday gift book recs for everyone in your life, but in the mean time I really do think you should hit up your local indie or bookshop for my first book — 100% of royalties go to abortion funds, so it’s a multi-layer gift 🫀 bookshop.org/p/books/you-...

Ffs. This guy is ripping apart the fabric of the country in the name of unregulated resource extraction, illegal surveillance, and weapons.

Carney really is just the ultimate neoliberal wolf in sheep’s clothing. The man apparently doesn’t believe in anything regarding upholding public infrastructure beyond military, police and corporate handouts.

BTW was anyone interested in a gift guide for men that's a little less... 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘰𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭? We cooked one up...

The fact Sinners didn't make Variety's best movies of the year list tells you pretty much everything you need to know about Hollywood. The backlash the movie has received is fascinating, mostly coming across as, "How dare you be so successful?"

‘Disastrous’: One of Montreal’s largest pediatric clinics to close due to Quebec’s Bill 2 montreal.citynews.ca/2025/12/10/t...

have you seen any memes in the past few years joking about wanting to be small woodland creatures? after i’d seen a few dozen i started to get curious about why that seemed so appealing to us these days. i wrote about the phenomenon, which i’ve dubbed FROGPOSTING, for @hazlitt.bsky.social

the good folks at today in tabs have seen fit to include frogposting in their latest missive. click the link above to see why 🐸

Love that AI is stealing our work--our whole textual lives--and then sending us scam emails pretending to promote what it's stolen.

genuinely one of my favorite books of all time, please buy it!!!

Frog and Toad Together

the piece explores a lot of stuff! ursula k. leguin’s famous quote about capitalism, m. night shyamalan’s the village, luigi mangione, cottagecore, the @frogandtoadbot.bsky.social resurgence… plus it’s got illustrations by yours truly 🐸

It’s also December 6th. I’m going to repost my posts from last Saturday - but I want to have a quick storytime of where I was when I heard about the femicide at the École Polytechnique on that night in 1989 and how it influenced me to be come a women in tech and the person I am today. A thread 🧵:

Whoa

The artist you have listened to on that platform 10,000 times would have been financially better off if you had purchased one single CD from them or even paid for a few individual tracks.

As all these Spotify Wrapped posts pop up I'd like to add that in the last calendar year their CEO invested $600 mil-plus in military AI drone technology, they ran ICE recruitment ads and refused to stop, and they've also done nothing to combat a huge influx of AI-generated music on the platform.

Bit of an emergency. My brother (who has been waiting for a liver transplant to save his life) is short on money for his rent, food & medication. We're hoping to raise $1000 by December 4th. If you're able to help us out, I'd appreciate it. viciousminuteshour.com/salim

TSN mentioning that Carter Hart will likely be coming back to the NHL soon for Vegas and just totally glossing over why he's in the AHL and has been out of hockey

#OtD 28 Nov 1985 a Shell report showed they knew that global heating was real, caused by fossil fuels, and that global temp and sea levels were rising and would rise further. Shell covered it up and began sponsoring fake studies to deny climate change stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1004...

It’s infuriating to me that I need to evaluate media to determine whether it’s AI generated now. The great “time saver” technology wastes incalculable time and energy for people who want to retain their grasp on reality

every day is a good day to be a sally rooney fan

Robyn Maynard, Ismail Adam (VP of the Darfur Diaspora Association) and I wrote this op-ed about Canada's complicity in Sudan, calling among other things for the loophole to be closed that allows Can. weapons to get to the RSF through the US + UAE. breachmedia.ca/in-the-genoc...

The only truly irreversible thing a trans child is likely to do is take their own life. "What if they do something irreversible?" actually means "theyre not allowed to make a decision!" You cant undo or reverse any decision you make, you can simply change your mind later and handle the consequences

YES, PLEASE

This month, after almost a year of development, we launched a whole new publication! @scripthealth.bsky.social is a brand new platform dedicated to covering LGBTQ2S+ health in a period where our rights and healthcare access are under extreme threat. www.script.health

Alberta just introduced Bill 9, which exists for one and only one purpose: deleting the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as it pertains to trans kids, denying them the right to life and stripping their healthcare away. This is cruel, anti-democratic and anti-constitutional.

Tonight!

I get why it happens but goddamn do I wish anything could hit as hard on the timeline as something that sucks that everyone hates written by or about the worst person you know. I wish something good or interesting was able to get anywhere near the traction some shit that sucks does.

Women in ICE detention are being sterilized, and then deported if they speak out about it. This is 100% Nazi-style eugenics. www.npr.org/2020/12/22/9... 1/?
