Rock ‘n roll ain’t noise pollution, but this sure as fuck is.

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting

Happy birthday Isabella Rossellini! If you haven't seen her home-made series exploring the private lives of bugs and fish, you have yet to truly live.

Y’know, when Stephen Harper did this shit in 2013, people got mad 🤷‍♂️

can't argue with this.

1/ The federal government has tabled a new water bill that backtracks on recognizing the human right to water for First Nations. This is shameful, and it is a slap in the face of communities who have been waiting for decades to have safe drinking water.

Important reporting on glass sponges in BC, a unique life form which can live for thousands of years. They are largely (and conveniently) ignored in oil and gas permitting.

I like listening to him speak. He could tell me stories all day.

when I complain to my local (female) friends they immediately say "oh you know you can't walk around here alone after dark!" but, like, I definitely should be able to. I live here and work here, I should be able to walk around whenever I want.

At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

This is so many levels of awesome

"So, if I use ChatGPT you think less of me?" Yep. Hope this helps.

Weekends need to be at least 5 days. One day to do nothing, two days for running around having fun and/or errands, one for returning to your supernatural horrific form to wreak havoc on the village, and the 5th day for nothing again.

the entire point of life is to be kind and weird btw

Hidden Fungus Network Below Our Feet Could Circle Earth 2.7 Trillion Times, Still Shorter Than Gap Between Long Covid Evidence And Public Understanding

The real reason Mark Carney wants to build so many AI data centres? @jenstden.bsky.social and I report on internal govt documents explaining one of the top 'public policy benefits to Canada' of data centres is they 'provide markets' for gas producers. www.desmog.com/2026/06/11/m... @desmog.com

As an actual wildlife photographer, who has spent a great deal of time and no small amount of money building his kit, developing his craft, and who shares most of the results for free, it offends me beyond my ability to describe.

Governments aren’t businesses and shouldn’t be run as such.

I ate too much dinner, and now I can’t summon the energy to get up and put away the leftovers.

“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

A cryptic species of sea slugs has been discovered at Keelung, Taiwan. Thecacera sesama #芝麻角鞘海蛞蝓 is named after its signature black dots resembling sesame seeds. Measuring just three millimetres long, the tiny nudibranch exhibits four primary behaviours: feeding, searching, mating, laying eggs.

I’ve posted a long FAQ with everything you need to know about a kids’ social media ban. Key takeaway: it is an ineffective and harmful policy that raises privacy concerns for tens of millions of Canadians through mandated age verification requirements.

"The surge in new fossil fuel lending, up $64bn or nearly 8% on 2024, shows that the world’s largest 65 banks are making decisions incompatible with international agreements to restrain rising global temperatures." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A must-read story. I think many in my gen feel like this sometimes, even if we've been out the whole way. So very much was nearly unimaginable back then, we had to start from such a different place, but our work, our lives led, directly, to this. We're all happy that the young ones have this now.

I was 8 years old when my doctor told me that wearing a “dust mask” (respirator) was important for my respiratory health. For any “work that irritates your nose, throat or chest”. Last century. Last millennium. Donkeys years ago. We need to rediscover this. #MedSky

My fellow cis folks, The FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to trans/gender content. Time to be an ally and tell the FCC absolutely the fuck not. It takes five minutes to do.

You used to go to websites and they would have guestbooks that people would sign like it was a bed and breakfast

Bluesky users be like

"It is obvious that the intent is to privatize water in Ontario, and this, as we know from countless international examples, is a disaster in the making." Avi Lewis responds to the Ford govt’s move to strip municipalities of control over water infrastructure, handing it to newly created water corps

I have never seen this before, but I am so glad I turned on the sound (I’m sorry it’s not captioned and I can’t add that). More in the thread, haven’t laughed like this in a bit.

my reflexive expression I'm unable to suppress on a video call when someone starts talking about AI stuff (I'm the driver)

Seeing Jeremy and his salad always improves my mood.

Canada is the only G7 country that hasn't even gotten our emissions below 1990 levels. We've never met a single emissions target. We've never even come close. Carney's not "finding a new way" to where we need to be, he's made it impossible to get there. 17/ www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/20/a...

And now, for something Good

📢 DUCKBILL N95S AVAILABLE Yall we have access to over 150,000 masks, but we need folks to indicate their interest ASAP so we can reserve enough pallets before the owner begins disposal. Get this in front of your local MaskBlocs, wildfire response crews, and mutual aid groups today.

had never seen this one and it's killing me

So cool to see Amnesty taking a stand against AI. I will never understand how more people aren't outraged that these companies have just taken everything from us without consent. Milking us dry then replacing us with the milking machine

Alt: black and white cubicle workers, yellow background. Blue robotic hand with strings connecting to workers. Text says unlawful by design, exposing the human rights cost of generative AI

Let’s talk for a minute about why that WIRED article upset so many people with ME/CFS and/or long COVID. If you were lucky enough to avoid having to know about the PACE study, you should know now. The gist: in the 00s, a badly designed clinical experiment ruined lives. me-pedia.org/wiki/PACE_tr...

Just a reminder, cuz it seems one is needed, if you're 36 today and Indigenous, you're old enough to have attended residential school in Canada. #indigenoushistorymonth

Another night of doodling at Teen Art club

If you ever say "I'm JUST using AI for THIS art element" you are treating one kind of art - YOURS - as worthy and the art of others - story boarders, writers, musicians, illustrators, etc as *worthless*. It is genuinely disgusting to do that to other artists.
