If the writer’s eyes light up when asked, “why did the character do that?” then it’s real.

7 Days After the MOU, Alberta Guts Industrial Emitter Carbon Tax (TIER) One week. That's all it took for @abdaniellesmith to violate the MOU. That's bad faith negotiation. @MarkJCarney got played. No question. #bcpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli @timhodgsonmt youtu.be/qSmhI0wALFM

‘They can’t take away your imagination and creativity’: Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe on how sewing helped her in Iran jail

"How a Gaza music teacher created the "drone song" to calm children terrified by the sound of military drones." God is dead. Even in the hearts of those who claim to believe in God.

Unironically appreciate @charliesavage.bsky.social explaining to NYT readers like they are five that murdering civilians in cold blood because they are suspected of involvement with drug trafficking is an unquestionable legal and moral evil www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/u...

they paid me to watch the gay hockey softcore pornography show 🥰

Funny how 50 years of Albertan right-wing demonization of the Federal government means the UCP will absolutely look at a gift horse in the mouth and complain about its bad breath.

Hey @noorazrieh.bsky.social, you forgot to talk about the climate crisis as the overarching context in your interview. It's not just about indigenous people on the West coast. There's a REASON people oppose pipelines, & why the deal will tank the Liberals in the most populous provinces, esp. QC

the obsessive focus on political deepfakes -- which have failed to pan out -- has blinded people to how pervasive they have been in pornography over the last decade

The minimalist soil scientist said, “moor is loess”.

Ukraine has been under a massive Russian drone and missile attack Air raid alerts have been announced all over the country. Among the reported targets are Kyiv city, energy facilities in Lviv Oblast, and sites in Volyn and Khmelnytskyi oblasts.

Yup, here's the less-academic explanation of one of the major datasets: "persistent pseudonyms" (ie, self-chosen usernames) is the most stable and least abusive configuration. Link to academic paper is in there somewhere. theconversation.com/online-anony...

NEW: Documenting Deportation Flights at MSP Airport “ICE agents would disembark from the airplane and unload bags of shackles from the cargo hold … seeing the chains that would soon be confining my neighbors, binding their hands together at their waist and then down between their ankles.”

Ukrainian women embrace combat roles as technology reshapes the battlefield

Lads, which SCP is this

You could write this. Or you could write: “That notion, which has been the rule in nearly every country in the Western Hemisphere for over a century, is grounded in the language of the 14th Amendment.” All how you choose to frame it.

NEW— DC Metropolitan Police just shared a tiny bit more body cam footage from the March US Institute of Peace raid in response to my FOIA lawsuit w/ @rcfp.org One clip shows USIP President George Moose being escorted out. Moose: You know we're gonna see you all in court. MPD: Yea we figured that.

News out of Iran is so discouraging this week. Runaway inflation, pollution off the charts, chance of war not decreasing, and on top of all this, authorities are thinking about resuming their enforcement of compulsory hijab, of all things. It's like they're trying to self-sabotage at this point

Murder.

Give this woman the #FIFA Peace Prize

Fergalicious, formerly the Duchess of York.

Gonna make a movie and put Fergie in it (either one).

That Farage only did this as a child and it was just childish shit, motherfucker how do you think it affected the victims? Do you think it fucking matters the age of the racist? They are equally harmful. He should be nowhere near government, and yet here we are. Probably the next PM. /End.

After Sabrina Carpenter's righteous reaction got the White House to delete their awful fascist video, I'm just going to leave this here. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...

Canada must do much more to ensure that admitted students from Gaza can actually get here and study. Email your MP speakupforchange.ca/campaign/IRC...

Damn. And we're playing them? Are we going to be playing against Italy in TORONTO? Mayhem might be in the cards.

The potential Canada vs Italy game in Toronto could end up being the clusterfuck or clusterfucks

As a journalist, do you think the fact that several former Giller winners with eligible books boycotted the award this year is important context that's missing from the "small group of two-time winners" framing?

Fifa boss: did you finish sculpting our peace trophy Trophy designer: sure did boss, the world’s boiling oceans are a warning of the curse that is contained within it and the corruption of man is evident in the torn flesh of the hands, just like you asked Fifa boss: this is perfect

man, Jacob Tierney seems like a sweet and lovely person. he's generous and lovely about the romance genre, he makes good sex scenes, and he's protective of his actors. gay hockey show was always going to be fun but this is like pasture-raised grass-fed free-range organic gay hockey show.

What galls about these so-called masculinity gurus is that they write & speak as if there is not an at least 3 decade debate, dialogue & research in part but not exclusively initiated by their grandfather they never cite — Robert Bly & his Iron John. Masculinity studies is more than self-help books.

A premium example of what the United States does in the light Canada does in the dark CTV News reporting that Canadian company Roshel is producing armoured vehicles for ICE

Today at 3PM: Fridays 4 Palestine (Yonge and Bloor). Come show your support for Palestinians every Friday at the Israel Consulate. Stand up for human rights and say no to genocide.

Eugenics. That's what this is

The upside is the force's mentality and approach to cyclists is not hidden.

This book cover gives me /serious/ ANSI logo vibes...

If you're betting on death, destruction, and disease in Gaza or anywhere else, you're an irredeemable degenerate. If you're a platform enabling this, like Kalshi or Polymarket, you're something worse.

She looks like John A. MacDonald.

It's not just a sinkhole — it's a great tar pit. And it might be our best bet for immortality. Let's dive in

Perhaps some of the best seafaring (Iakefaring!) writing I've read, and possibly only second to Barrett's Privateers in the Canadian Pantheon.

Honestly, the more I see him in action, the more I feel Carney's just not good at this - a real Mr. Bumble. Fumbled a gift majority election to a minority and is pissing away any goodwill fast and furiously.

One often wonders what the difference is between the Soviet and Emirati economies considering both are/were made up primarily of massive parastatals subsidized by hydrocarbon revenues

If you want to discover new music, journalism is key. You can also chat with record store staff. If you like an album, find out the label & follow them. See who's getting booked at venues where you're into the vibe. Algos will only give you more of the same. Discovery should expand your taste.

Concentration campus

Truly despicable

Privacy stalwart Nicholas Merrill spent a decade fighting an FBI surveillance order. Now he wants to sell you phone service—without knowing almost anything about you.

God I love @arponbasu.bsky.social's writing. He's got a high-end computer. 😎 Kapanen is the goals leader amongst NHL rookies, tied with Matthew Schaefer. Not bad for a guy that many thought would spend most of the season in the AHL.

When your time of suffering comes, I hope that the world does for you, what you have done for Palestinians.
