Why These Iranian-Canadians Strongly Oppose U.S.-Israeli Aggression “This war is a war of power, a war of resource and land grab, and it is nothing about democracy.” www.readthemaple.com/why-these-ir...

“I saw a strange thing today. The New York Times reported on the video the White House posted of Trump dropping shit on protestors. But they wouldn’t confirm the video was AI generated. And they wouldn’t use the word ‘shit’.” “What does that tell you?” “They could lose.”

Unpopular opinion, maybe: "AI Slop" is forcing us to note the distinction of 'Art' vs 'Craft' (in our culture, we tend to conflate the two). AI copies the 'Craft'. Not the 'Art'. It's possible to be awesome at drawing, but not be an 'Artist'. It's possible to write, but not be an 'Author'.

Wow. This really says it all.

Finally some news worth watching!

For Sale: Pair of Balls, rarely used, MUST SELL! Contact ABC New York. No unreasonable offer refused!

Holy shit scorched earth motherfucker

Trump says immigrants must prove ‘good moral character’ — this from the guy who paid hush money to a porn star, stole from his own charity, and tried to overturn an election.

Hey #MusicianSky, If you plan to release new singles or albums, or hold an online event (listening parties, concerts, etc) NEXT WEEK, August 18th to August 24th, tell me about it! I'm putting this list together every SUNDAY evening. Artists, bands and labels of all genres are welcome! 👍

It’s#bandcampfriday Can I interest you in some post-punk fuzzed out freakouts? christiand.bandcamp.com/album/fiftee...

A big thanks to @etherdiver.bsky.social for their kind words on "Peripherals" in this week's "Other People's Music"!

In a mere matter of days, we can house migrants, but not our homeless. Because being cruel is always the motivation. #AlligatorAuschwitz

Very striking how every right-wing conspiracy freakout was just a prophecy of what they planned on eventually doing - whether it was Jade Helm or FEMA camps, the moment they had the opportunity to make these imaginary monstrosities they came up with come to life, they did

Covering Sonic Reducer with the Sinners- youtu.be/3q3QuXhomxM?...

House of the Rising Sun-Christian and the Sinners with Ceol Kids Horn section and keys… youtu.be/r-3UdphSmN4?...

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

Just a regular Friday, not a #BandcampFriday, but I'd still love it if you'd check out my new album today! It's a dozen tracks of dense, dub-soaked wizard synth and otherworldly ghostwave. Psychedelic instrumentals for inner space journeys! etherdiver.bandcamp.com/album/the-me... #musicsky #music

my dad: people today are too sensitive me: u bitches cried when dylan went electric

Say no to the golden handcuffs. This is a multibillion scam that will force Canada further into the military "protection" of the authoritarian regime in Washington. It is about making us a vassal state. We need to put the protection of our interests as top priority for military investments.

reminder that America was founded on the very idea of ditching a mad king

Some interesting & unusual suspects in this week's Other People's Music! We don't see much ska punk! Or slowcore! Country pop hits transformed into indie rock jams! Plus some smart electro & endearing bedroom/folk pop! Read & listen: www.etherdiver.com/2025/05/23/o... #musicsky 🎧 #MusicDiscovery

Ooh, they're taking our money at par? Fantastic, I would TOTALLY risk detention at the border for the opinions I express online for tha--- no wait But, it means I'd get a chance to spend my Canadian money in a country run by people who want to eradicate Canada as a coun----oh also wait

Pierre Poilievre managed to go thru all that — years of campaigning on the public dime; the most important election in modern Canadian history; losing a historic lead in the polls with historic speed; losing his own riding — ALL without actually proving that he could pass the normal security check.

Dive into kosmische, space synth, weird ambient and eclectic electronica with this week's dose of Other People's Music. www.etherdiver.com/2025/04/25/o... Five releases from independent musical artists, reviewed in a super brief, information-dense style focused on the strongest elements of each.

One more nail in the coffin of American dominance in science 🧪

BREAKING: Pierre Poilievre asks US President Trump for political asylum

This election is not about Trump. It is about standing up for Canada and defying the rage-baiters, conspiracy trolls and those who trash our nation to score points. This election is about you Pierre Poilievre. We reject your hate politics. Canadians do your best. Don't accept the worst.

Canada will never be the 51st State. #FanjoyVsPoilievre #CanadaStrong

Ceol Kids donations are closed (all the money goes to Community Music Schools of Toronto) Sonic Reducer MADE the top 25! Next up is all the musicians performing these tracks live for next level fundraising! www.ceolkids.com#home

I hope we are rid of him next week.

The Globe and the Toronto Star are reporting the Conservatives are scrambling to make sure Poilievre doesn’t lose the seat he’s held since 2004 The party sent campaigners to his riding in the last two weeks “who would normally be assigned to tight races across the country,” per the Globe.

70% of 🇨🇦ian Print Media is owned by an 🇺🇸n Hedge Fund Source @lindamcquaig.bsky.social #ElbowsUp 📢 #cdnmedia 🇨🇦

Canadian researchers should be very concerned by Poilievre's promise to politicize federal research funding in Canada by ending supposedly mandatory 'woke ideology.'

If I've been running an election campaign for three years on the taxpayers' dime and then another guy comes in and starts leading in the polls after only a few weeks of campaigning the smartest thing I can do is get the former leader of my party that hasn't won in a decade to say I'm awesome sauce.

This! Also all of the replies - but especially the one that shows he’s white knuckling drinking 74 km/h (Alt: PP tweet “Change is coming down the track — and it's coming fast. Sign to bring it to the finish line: (link)”

Talented dude that Canadian "music" scene stopped talking about after Monster Voodoo Machine wasnt a thing. Like Adam has done A LOT since then. Also can confirm this is a good book. I cant wait for his other book to come out

Guys, I’m no political strategist but I’m not sure hauling out the guy who described Canada as “content to become a second-tier socialistic country” desperate “to mask its second-rate status” in an article entitled “Separation, Alberta style” is a good read of the room.

This tells me that there will be no freedom for the media under a Poilievre government He doesn't respect journalists He has promised to shut down the CBC IMO this will profoundly damage Canada #Cdnpoli

WATCH: “Ron Vara is an anagram of Navarro.” @maddow.msnbc.com explains how Trump’s tariffs policy came from his economic advisor Peter Navarro, who invented a fake expert in his books to justify it🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏼 And now markets are crashing 🎪 #TrumpTradeWar #AmericanBrexit

This sign won the day.

France's President Macron calls to boycott the United States: “What would the message be of having big European players invest billions in the American economy at the same time they are hitting us. We must have collective solidarity.” #BoycottUSA

Last week my song choice Sonic Reducer was in the top 3.... now it's in the top 5. I assure you that it takes less than a week to witness your song choice go from the top ten to being not in the top 25. If you have $5 to spare, it's for a good cause. buy.stripe.com/4gw6ox1RVfrE...

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

Was explaining to David (11) the tariff stuff and what a tariff is and he was like “you mean like what started the revolutionary war?” And I was like; yes exactly.

Let’s take ‘em all!

Pierre Poilievre has had 20 years to prove himself. He walks away from every opportunity to fight for Canadians. #NeverPoilievre
