Piping plovers — tiny, lively and endangered birds — have visited Wasaga Beach every summer since 2007. But things may be changing — and what happens here could be a sign of what’s to come elsewhere in Ontario. #endangeredspecies #wasagabeach

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was UNSTOPPABLE against the Yankees in the ALDS 😲🔥

Trump visiting the Yankees ahead of the game tonight just makes this win so much sweeter hahahaha

One thing I'll say about the Yankees, Judge really is a special player, truly an incredibly scary hitter to see at the plate. That being said... LETS GO BLUE JAYSSS!!! 🐦🐦🐦

Oracle employees who expressed support for Palestine were "referred to internal mental health resources." Oracle is about to own TikTok.

Clarence Thomas announced that he doesn't care about precedent and is making it up as he goes along. He didn't say it *like that* of course, because then people would have noticed. But I noticed, through the jargon, and explain it here in @thenation. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

For all my friends who are either in or interested in the entertainment industry. I am begging you to stop talking about "Tilly Norwood" and instead focus on her "creator" Eline Van der Velden and what an exceptional hack she is.

“It was a lightning rod of hope. We brought in thousands of new members to this party, many of whom were completely disillusioned with politics.” Emily Lowan’s victory is a sign that the climate movement still has the energy to capture voters. Hugh Chan writes. #bcpoli

If there's anything that really gives away how insanely out of control wealth inequality and hyper capitalism have got, it's the obsession tech executives have with fucking yachts. www.businessinsider.com/jony-ive-yac...

What the actual fuck is going on in parliament!?

Queen

The discussion around the shooters in recent events has unsurprisingly become all about political affiliations but I think there's an already obvious problem this is bearing to light. Gen Z men are FUCKED. These guys are in such desperate need of guidance and support and it's such a vast problem.

Having just got post season Blue Jays tickets, I will use this opportunity to once again rail on about what a corrupt and terrible monopoly Ticketmaster (and LiveNation) is and it absolutely needs to be regulated and broken up.

As we resist tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we build courage. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. Let's continue to build solidarity by peacefully opposing our tyrant-in-chief at No Kings Day 2.0 on October 18.

I have to wonder if in light of this new administration's very overt 'pay for play' position on corporate mergers, are people finally willing to start taking a stand for anti-trust yet?

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

From Feb 4th 1939

The most despicable part of what's happening re: these firings, cancellations, placements on leave, etc. is that right wingers will say "it's an employer's right" and intentionally ignore or downplay how all of these employers are actively trying to avoid the wrath of a vengeful government.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics. The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

These are the same people that would fight to the death for a bakers right to refuse to make a cake for a gay couple. These people are hypocrites through and through.

Whatever your feelings on him, this feels like the right ruling. Treating this as terrorism would set a pretty scary precedent.

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

If you’re wondering why real incomes are collapsing, here’s one reason: “.. almost 14% of workers are getting no raises.” (via MetLife)

Leaving aside the (substantial) anti-trust issues which of course would not matter in the slightest to this particular administration - a fact that Paramount Skydance is fully aware of - the question is how much debt does Paramount want to be carrying, because there will be a metric fuckton of it

what happened to charlie kirk is a) fucking horrible and b) the exact thing, word for word, that he spent his public life advocating for and cheerleading, and any coverage that isn’t frank about that second part is massively irresponsible

Hell yeah

Gold bar Bob's about to be ol iron bar Bob.

Surprisingly, #CBC CTV AND NO Mainstream #media in #Canada covered the historic event today at United Nations. In fact, others are reporting mainstream media hasn’t reported in other western countries. #Palestine now has a seat amongst member states of the #GeneralAssembly.

I just want to say, there may never be a more fitting occassion to use the expression 'Hoisted with his own petard."

nobody should die like that and guns are still the fucking problem

Hate that this needs to be said, but not gleefully cheering as someone awful may be dead isn't about civility politics. It's just about not being an absolute ghoul. There's a difference between not feeling sorry for someone and being happy for their suffering.

Quick friendly reminder that Bluesky is entirely fucking public and you should post accordingly! Heads on straight, gang!

Please, please listen to me: MAGA world has a lot of money to pay "researchers" to trawl niche social media sites like this one, and take posts that will provoke enormous outrage and plaster them across multiple platforms. Please think about what you're posting before you hit "Post"

One of the many bitter pills to swallow is that there will be not one single consequence for Jerry Seinfeld basically complimenting the KKK and equating them to the phrase Free Palestine. There will be little, if any, media pushback. It’s terrible.

To spell some shit out unambiguously: fascism requires domestic abuse to propagate itself. Demands it. There is no way to humanely teach your children that might makes right. There is no way to gently love a spouse you think is your genetic intellectual inferior. These are inextricably linked.

Waited 8 hours to spend 3 minutes and get 3 movies. 0 regrets!

My early thoughts on the Anthropic settlement: a) good, fucking pay us b) no, that’s not enough c) shouldn’t have stolen our shit to train your stupid mediocre plagiarism artbarf robot in the first place, you fuckers d) this isn’t something to celebrate; it is a Pyrrhic victory at best

The Guardian has today printed the names, and where possible, images, of all the media workers killed in Gaza, as part of an international day of action involving more than 150 media organisations. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.

BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout. They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base. (🎥 AP)

Good on everyone peacefully protesting this exhibit. Using this kind of AI right next to real artists trying to sell their work is just utterly distasteful. Shame on Bell for even concocting this terrible idea.

The stand in at the Bell Canada booth is happening right now to protest their AI Photo Booth.

What are the odds the Trump family has a shell corp called 'the united states LLC' 😂

The arguments here work, if you're talking about a neutral platform. Twitter is not a neutral platform. Its moderation, it's verification system, the algorithm, its AI is all geared to distort the conversation in favor of one man's views. This is so naive. www.theargumentmag.com/p/we-have-to...

Silksong was developed the way it was because the developer didn't have to worry about money. The only way you get more games developed like Silksong is if Universal Basic Income becomes a thing.

Trans rights are, in fact, human rights. Pass it on.

ah, deploying the old 'only the sick ones are dying actually' arguement. Awesome, loved when we trotted that one out during COVID too. Very cool.

Air Canada strike: “We’re going to stay committed to making sure that those workers can do the job that they love doing and actually be able to afford a roof over their heads, to afford caring for their families,” CUPE president just said. “If it means folks like me going to jail, then so be it.”
