I did something today that I haven't done for too long: I sat down, closed my computer, and read a whole-ass novel in one big gulp. Highly recommended, 10/10 no notes.

I wrote this in 2016.

This is a FRAUDULENT paper, AI-generated. My name was used as an author and I had nothing to do with it, never saw it until today e-pubmed.co.uk/journals/dig... The "Editors" Angelo Rossi Mori, David Mensah, and Zarnie Khadjesari and this "Journal" should be reported.

Y’all are killing me out here with these intense coughs in public and no mask on

New video out on the crazy things big AI companies are doing to convince women to embrace AI w/ @kattenbarge.bsky.social

I have to think some of this has to do with women routinely being told their entire lives that someone else is smarter than them and could do their job better.

It is not a coincidence that the hysterical label is being used, given that women are so far more reluctant to use AI than men (not you, Reese.)

Letter to the editor in today's Winnipeg Free Press. Natalie is right: what's the point in having a summit on student absenteeism without input from families? It's such a paternalistic and saviour complex way of approaching the issue.

People with preexisting conditions also don’t deserve to die

Need a St. Leon’s season opening ETA stat 🌿🥕🍅🌼

A reminder that "blame the disease-ridden immigrants" is a tried and true fascist strategy.

Avi Lewis: “[The conservative movement] are harvesting the legitimate rage of people who are being ground to dust by the unfairness of this economy. People are right to be angry. And I think that the democratic left in Canada has been reluctant to speak to that rage.”

New rule: you are not allowed to call any house over $500,000 a “fixer upper.” For half a million dollars it best be fixed.

Another one; two in a week.

As a bald(ing) dude who follows this subreddit, it is indeed an oddly heartwarming place amidst, well, everything else

i just saw MOMS CLUB, detailing the way a group of normal folks took on the council for national policy’s influence in their—& their queer youths—lives. their work & their story needs to be told. i look forward to continuing to support this film, & most any work bringing needed attention to the CNP.

Why are Canadian media reporting on Canada Post as if they've all been given a script to follow? Journalists are interfering with the union's contract ratification vote by parroting Canada Post management's talking points and telling Canadians that it isn't viable.

Winnipeg city council will vote on removing Coun. Russ Wyatt from most of the civic committees he participates in, in the wake of a sexual assault charge.

At a First-Nations-led wildfire season post-mortem in Jan, a councilor from Pukatawagan was in tears as she told prov/fed reps that while waiting for a rescue helicopter, she prayed that ISC had dental records to identify the bodies she was sure would be left to burn alive. tinyurl.com/mvuk4ea3

Today, I was able to squeeze a walk to and from the gym, an outfit change, a 3 mile run around the Exchange and a shower into my lunch break — pretty much entirely because Portage & Main is open

It's interesting, because Canada spent $6.48 billion last year alone on the RCMP: rcmp.ca/en/corporate.... & yet I'm not being inundated with articles about the fact that the service is a financial gaping maw

CBC Info Rad spoke with a man from Peguis this morning who hasn't been able to return home since the 2011 flooding.

After Condé Nast's decision to close SELF, I spoke to chronically ill women about what the women's health site meant to them. "We have to acknowledge chronic illness as a politically, culturally, and socially marginalized category" Latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

We need to use the streaming service madness as a way to completely reimagine life in Canada... Canadians spend 20 hrs per week watching TV. Instead of reality TV - have friends over for dinner. Instead of watching sports - play sports. Instead of watching a movie - attend local theatre. Etc

Before you commit to a dog name, go outside at 6:30 AM with no bra on and see how it feels begging that name to poo.

The premier’s office says in a brief statement that it "can confirm that the government will not be introducing legislation on DRIPA during this session."

There's a video circulating on social media of a newborn being apprehended from a First Nations family in Winnipeg this weekend. While the practice of "birth alerts" has (allegedly) ended, newborns are still being apprehended, sometimes in hospital.

This is evil. Sorry but it is. Imagine thinking a nonverbal CHILD with intellectual disabilities can unearn their right to equal access to public education. These are the most vulnerable already stereotyped as “aggressive” “complex”. Inclusion is a human right. #ableg @thebreakdownab.bsky.social

For the second time in 6 months I have had to submit an error to the Winnipeg Free Press reiterating that ADULTS DO NOT HAVE SEX WITH CHILDREN. Sex is consensual. It is abuse/assault every time. www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

In my case it was just pushing back on the library's "we are committed to the ethical use of AI" by asking how they had made the decision that ethical AI use was possible, which of AI's harms they had considered as part of that decision, and which benefits were considered to outweigh those harms.

I’m at my childhood church and the minister is giving a Biblical sermon against AI-images and ChatGPT and how we must do the difficult work of storytelling, interpretation and history ourselves and I am very proud to be have been baptized and raised at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church

It’s hard to express how important Iris was to ACT UP’s scientific development. She was the catalyst who started it all. Iris Long, Scientific Mentor to AIDS Activists, Dies at 92 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/h...

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

Interestingly, this glowing story about Boring News fails to mention the fact that the Winnipeg Sun was publishing the aforementioned AI-generated news slop on its own site earlier this year 🧐 www.winnipegsun.com/news/manitob...

Boring News is marketed as a solution to declining local news in Canada. In reality, the website is AI news slop filled with errors, made up quotes and fake photos. My story for the @winnipegfreepress.com: www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-lif...

If you ever need proof that men’s fashion has nothing to do with pleasing women

It's almost the weekend, which means it's time to read this can't-look-away, bonkers story about a Winnipeg business, known for coupon aggregation, that has churned out tens of thousands of AI-generated stories in recent months. By @evawasney.bsky.social www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-lif...

I only received my treaty status last year because the feds were successful in assimilating my family and killing the Indian in the child. This, despite the feds knowing my family's history. There is no mechanism in place to proactively register people for status. So, yeah, undercounted.

If women were 9 out of 10 stalkers, it's all we would talk about. If women committed 97% of sexual assaults, it's all we would talk about. Men wanna squabble over "62 million views doesn't mean 62 million men" & we're giving them the space & grace we would never afford women in ANY circumstance.

I'm sad and want everybody else to be sad too - first guy to make cauliflower rice

Ontario: if you're sick, stay home! Also Ontario: if you stay home, we'll punish you

Today I proposed banning "surveillance pricing" — a creepy practice where corporations weaponize your personal data to rip you off. Deeply disappointed the motion was rejected. Canadians are already being crushed by sky-high costs. They deserve relief, not corporate exploitation.

members of the press, I too have a “feud” with the pope, in that I disagree with him about things and he does not care in the slightest
