I was working on a VERY juicy video for you today about that Project 2025 guy Carney's crew invited to address cabinet. But the story got SO juicy I wrote it up for a news outlet, too! So that video will be out tomorrow. In the meantime, here's some stuff you'll definitely want to keep an eye on:

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

It's 2pm in Gaza. 63 dead since dawn.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Gutsy move by the flight attendants, refusing to be bullied. The whole country should be behind them because the decline of unions parallels the decline of the middle class. Nothing terrifies cowardly gazillionaires like Jeff Bezos like the threat of strong unions.

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen. By Emma Murphy, International Editor, ITV News. #Gaza

3) Carved (2024) has been my Disney+ wishlist for ages and... It was totally wicked! It's a simple and incredibly silly premise (killer pumpkin wants revenge against pumpkin contest carvers). It runs with the concept and takes it JUST seriously enough. Lots of surprisingly inventive kills, too!

I wish more people would read up on international law and how it actually works. I did, which is why I don't say things like "straight to the Hague" anymore. Starvation, for example, is a war crime under the 1998 Rome Statute, to which both the U.S. and Israel refused to sign on to...

Ozzy Osbourne raised $190 million for charity as his last public act. The televangelists who said you’d go to hell if you listened to his music all ended up having child brides or swindling your grandma.

You should listen to The Echo Chamber, not just the episode I'm on, the entire podcast. It will make you feel less crazy about having a moral compass and progressive politics. *Don't forget to subscribe to their Patreon when you become a fan

Good morning 🫡

They are going to denaturalize hundreds of thousands of mot millions of US citizens with deep roots to this country and deport them (us) to Libya etc for the crime of dissent, we have been screaming about this for a long time, wake the hell up.

What a lot of centrists dont realize is that a lot of us supported them to keep the GOP fascism dam from breaking, but now that the GOP is essentially ripping every institution apart in the name of fascism, there is very little incentive for us to support them over their more radical counter-parts.

Episode 3 of REVIVAL airs tonight on SYFY, while Episode 2 has now dropped on Peacock! If you haven't already, please check us out. Every view counts and they are watching week to week right now very closely. And thank you so much to all the support so far!

Rome. Come by say hello.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Update from Freedom Flotilla Coalition Press Officer, Hay Sha Wiya: "The Madleen is currently under assault in international waters. Quadcopters are surrounding the ship, spraying it with a white paint-like substance. Communications are jammed, and disturbing sounds are being played over the radio."

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

If you are against trans rights what in the actual fuck is wrong with you? Get a fucking life you creepy genital obsessed freaks.

I can appreciate someone who puts their money (or star power) where their mouth is.

So thrilled that The Seas Between Us won the Tongues on Fire, Flame Award 2025 Best Short Film at the UK Asian Film Festival! It's such an honour to have been selected in such a strong group of shorts this year. Many thanks to the festival and our incredibly talented cast and crew.

I want someone to make a Monty Python-esque movie about a Conclave where the Cardinals are bickering so much and then pick some random unknown lapsed Catholic to be Pope. (this is technically possible under the rules)

It would have been nice when I bought my ticket for the airline to have mentioned I needed an electronic travel authorisation to go to the UK as a Canadian. It wasn't hard to get but I was in a panic yesterday when I found out!

Would be awesome if we could hit the kinds of numbers we had at sdpn tonight. Win or lose, we’ll make your night better.

I am still a little overwhelmed with emotion from last night's @writersguildcanada.bsky.social awards. It is quite an honour to have been selected for the Jim Burt Screenwriting Prize, a man who championed Canadian film and artists throughout his career.

Conservatives endorsed by the anti-abortion group, Campaign Life Canada, will vote to end women's reproductive rights in Canada. Do not give them your vote.

I’m so impressed at the Habs coming back in the third in a playoff game. They say it’s different than the regular season but they continue to be comeback kings. Now let’s see how they fare in 5-5 overtime.

Watching Reel Black doc on CBC before the game, great interviews about the need for diversity on our screens. Glad I turned it on before puck drop.

Someone on Facebook is telling Canadians to "never vote in pencil" and to bring a pen or permanent marker with them to vote. As someone who's worked like five provincial and federal elections, here's why you don't have to worry about that. 🧵

Day one of the Habs playoffs and I’m leaving Montreal for Toronto what is my life (starting a job, need to get back).
