“Premier Eby built his career as a human rights lawyer advocating for the most vulnerable. Yet, as he is confronted by the hard work of governing the province, he has abandoned the people he used to serve and the principles that his party holds dear.” The First Nations Leadership Council writes.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

“It’s either a short story or a novel. There’s no such thing as a novella.” #TransDayOfVisibility

A reminder to authors: If your book was among the many titles pirated by Anthropic to train their AI, make sure to file your claim by March 30th. Your publisher will be filing, but my publishers tell me that the only way to *ensure* payment is by submitting your own valid claim. #AcademicSky 🧵1/n

Anyone else forage for confir tips this time of year? I am keeping centered by getting out into nature, and will share a series of recipes based on the flavors of spruce and fir over the next few months. 😀 Just need to finish the brews first! berriesandbarnacles.com/how-to-forag...

It's publication week for my friend, Kevin Bartlett! Here's an interview about his book, Timebomb, and why he decided to write it! cullandco.com/2026/02/28/b... #book #booklaunch #historicalthriller #murdermystery

Huh, I guess we're doing it all on our own.

Permaculture is my current passion. Over the past few years, I have been setting up a permaculture garden on a piece of property that was formerly a road and logging camp. It's fun to watch everything get established! Here is my first post on the subject: berriesandbarnacles.com/what-is-perm...

It failed to include "add unnecessary and inaccurate AI feature". But other than that, it's perfect! www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4Up...

"The new waterwheel they built to power the loom made the river undrinkable, and when the boss cut my hours in half, I couldn’t buy food anymore, which really made the whole rickets situation get out of hand. But that’s exactly the sort of time you need a laugh, right?"

The trove of files released by the Department of Justice, illuminates Epstein’s deep interest and entrenchment in the scientific community. But the files also underscore how he used his power and money in ways that kept women out of places where they might succeed. https://bit.ly/4qWgPLz

My latest blog post is a recipe I've been making for the past few years. It's a cheater's version of kombucha that skips the whole double brew by using flavored kombucha to immediately brew the next batch of flavored kombucha. 😎 www.fermentingforfoodies.com/quick-kombuc...

Currently reading the graphic novel version of On Tyranny, and I'm struck by how much Timothy Snyder predicted when he wrote this 10 years ago. A highly necessary read for the world today. We all need to stand up and resist tyranny, no matter how difficult that may be. timothysnyder.org/on-tyranny

CBC Books: 3 Black Canadian writers to watch in 2026 #CanLit www.cbc.ca/books/3-blac...

I got a tip that all over the world, people are using a dead-simple hack to manipulate AI behavior. It turns out changing what AI tells other people can be as easy as writing a blog post *on your own website* I didn’t believe it, so I decided to test it myself www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Information, resources for talking to kids, a donation link, and condolence book are available at gov.bc.ca/TumblerRidge

If AI were so crucial I’d think it would sell itself — but it always seems to be infused with this non-consensual inevitability, like YOU BETTER ADOPT IT OR DIE IT’S COMING LIKE IT OR NOT, a threat gilded as promise.

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

Here's my latest recipe... sourdough English muffins! At the request of my daughter. We tested the recipe several times (like I do for all my recipes), and it is a hit! www.fermentingforfoodies.com/sourdough-en... #fermentation #sourdough

Even in Elon Musk’s denial of his involvement with Epstein—which directly contradicts the available evidence—the world’s richest man is still claiming he knew all about “pedo island” and didn’t do anything to stop it. Even in their fantasies of innocence they’re still directly enabling child abuse

It’s Groundhog Day! Vancouver Island Violet has made her prediction! Six more weeks of winter! This was confirmed by her mate Phillip who also got in the weather prediction action. Watch here:

No wonder Pierre Poilievre want the CBC defunded. Canada would never see the truth again. Why is CANADA allowing this?

definitely not sobbing as i sit here and watch this

Canadians deserve to have a say over if, how, and to what extent AI is part of our future. The government is only listening to industry voices and that needs to change. That's why I'm participating in the People's Consultation on AI, and I *strongly* encourage you to do the same.

@crof.bsky.social: At first, Mark Carney’s 2021 book “Value(s): Building a Better World for All” seems like an attempt to portray capitalism with a human face. But after his Davos speech, it also offers glimpses of how he intends to build a resilient Canada next door to a collapsing power.

NEW RELEASE — Cancelling Billionaires Before They Cancel Us shows the jarring portrait of a deeply unequal Canada and how a wealth tax could rein in the destructive power wielded by today’s billionaires. Order Cancelling Billionaires today: buff.ly/AnUCK0t

This is the funniest thing I've read in a long time... I can pinpoint the exact date when I no longer had shits to give. And it was quite a shock to a bunch of people who really depended on my giving a shit. 😂 www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/faq...

From my blogger network this morning... apparently, we're going to start our own AI poisoning campaign. www.theregister.com/2026/01/11/i... #writers #bloggers #artists

If you're in the Ottawa area, please come out to our rally at Carleton University on Jan. 22 at noon, in support of AI protections for education workers. You absolutely don't have to RSVP to come, but if you feel comfortable, it helps us plan. Dress warm, bring a sign, bring a friend:

Well, you did it. You "owned the libs". You also destroyed the world order, the rule of law, an American constitutional democracy. Now what? youtu.be/HzcFi6oFhaI

Jen Sorensen nails the hypocrisy and racism of the "European culture" argument.

Texting with my American Uncle, about his plans to visit us in Canada in June. And after sharing his travel plans, my Uncle texts, "Hopefully there won't be any international incidents to keep me from coming!!!!!" Two years ago, this statement would have been paranoid; now it seems optimistic.

you say "i asked chatgpt" i hear "i asked [an improv comedy group]" an improv group wrote this report instead of a therapist i use an improv comedy group

I am honoured to announce I’ve been appointed as a member to the Order of Canada. Thank you to everyone for the support! I dedicate this to my late Mom who taught me so much about history, local independent media & research. I know that she would be, like me, screaming with joy! #orderofcanada

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!
