Everyone sat around talking about how these people were incredibly stupid and then they managed to successfully implement large swathes of the plan that they all told us they were going to execute and you really have to wonder who is the stupid in this equation

total foucault victory

having fun with the negative post labeller, by seeing how much work i have to put in to get a sufficiently high sentiment

Anyway, if a steam engine specialist reads this and wants to explain, please do. :)

thankfully past me hooked up future me last year by putting masks (and $20) in my winter coats

there are wayyyy to many people in the eaton centre coughing without masks 😮‍💨

if Health Canada renamed their Canadian Substance Use Survey (CSUS) reporting HOLD MY BEER, it would probably get more attention. www.canada.ca/en/health-ca...

I will never get tired of coming across people sharing my art.

Did we fail to offer a plan for a better future to the public by condescending to them with meaningless catchphrases? no way because we are perfect IT’S THE VOTERS WHO WERE WRONG the new leader has to clean house. Fire everyone. all the directors. everyone delusional. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Can you nerds stop arguing about the economy no normal person even knows what the "economy" is other than "do i have job and needs met"

No normal person gives a shit about all those graphs or numbers they care about groceries housing and healthcare

shame that bolivia just tried to do this for all of us and the WHO shut them down

The Donald J. Trump and the John F. Kennedy Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too

as someone who has gone door to door in heavy early-season sleet for national candidates, can confirm when a candidate releases a statement that is shockingly against expectations, those doors won’t be walked i have kids at home & i’d sooner spend time with them than work against them

I guess this might start a discourse but I think maybe it's worth discussing the part of winning elections that we don't talk about enough: motivating and mobilizing volunteers who then do the work of swaying voters. Harris demobilized parts of an initially very mobilized base. Huge mistake.

Did you write an excellent book, thesis, or article in 2025? There is still time to submit it to the CHA’s 2026 prizes! Most prizes close on December 31st. The winners will be announced at the CHA’s prize ceremony in Charlottetown (June 2026). #cdnhist #skystorian #prizes

"Through a mixture of luck, judgment and calculation, Iofan stayed alive while many of his friends and colleagues did not."

while i remain committed to the idea that derrida was right when he said the concept of 'drugs' was nonscientific and intrinsically overdetermined by politics - the conflation of the pharmacological, medical & public definitions in this text seem to produce the problem of definition the authors find

Wow. Erasing the sexual violence committed by young boys and blaming sexual violence entirely on "foreign criminals." Quite the Christmas "we are in hell" double whammy from Kemi, who I guess also really wanted to remind us that she and her party still exsit.

All in the name of "protecting kids" 24 hours before we learn exactly how close Donald Trump was with Jeffrey Epstein

Is it too much to ask to be treated like a library book? Beloved and tended by a couple of hotties, live in a gorgeous building, but also checked out and enjoyed for 2 weeks at a time by strangers.

Last night, I heard back from the Canadian government about a delegation — including six elected MPs — who Israeli officials turned away from the West Bank Those officials also shoved a Canadian Liberal MP multiple times. Global Affairs Canada’s response? To distance itself from the delegation:

Hello friends, I recently lost my health insurance + benefits & am currently looking at a bill of over $16,000 for which I cannot pay. This would not necessarily be an issue if I were not visually impaired and currently out of full time work, but I am humbly asking for assistance now. Any bit helps.

Karen Ward does a lot of work advocating for Drug Policy Reform, please show up.

like this is tabloid tier commentary - i think we're seeing, along with the loss of great far right/cyber journalism - the hole left in the media atmosphere from the death of Vice it's not that those journalists aren't still around, they're just not directed to ask these questions

so if he was 'microdosing' he was on a subthreshold dose of ketamine - honestly this sort of tells us less, and if anything musks level of intoxication has been incredibly overstated more likely is that nobody here knows what they're talking about

😮 A university without a library ceases to be a university. Full stop. I’m flabbergasted that a “determination” about a library’s future — besides FUND IT AND STAFF IT — needs to be made by an institute of higher learning.

I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering. www.newsweek.com/map-us-strik...

i went from having 0 dates in 8 months (w/ a few months break in between) to 2, possibly 3, planned for this week i still maintain my absolute hatred of dating apps, and that they're largely incongruent with the way i make relationships - but im feeling good about this time!

When Scalia rewrote the Second Amendment in Heller, I warned that he would have “blood on his hands” from the carnage he was enabling. The Second Amendment protects a “militia” right, which was the understanding of the courts for 200 years. The “individual right” rewrite is a suicide pact.

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

Put aside that it isn't actually all that horrible to say such a thing, he actually didn't say that. Why are people incapable of taking on someone's words as they actually exist? Here's what he actually said on the right
