I think everyone will continue calling it the Epstein Ballroom.

The U.S. has conducted 10 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing 43 people. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.

I look forward to seeing what all the douchebags outraged about Confederate statues being torn down have to say about Trump literally demolishing the entire East Wing of the White House.

The other word for objections to diversity, equity, and inclusion is "racism"

“Restore merit, end DEI” says man who could only get elected in Canada’s safest Conservative stronghold

F is for fascism. We need to start talking about the disintegration of the rule of law south of the border as the imposition of a modern gangster style fascism. charlieangus.substack.com/p/f-is-for-f...

Moving quickly to a world where students use AI to complete work, profs use AI to grade it, no one learns anything and we will live in a world of mediocrity and incompetence where only the billionaires benefit.

If you view fascism as a 0/1 binary, then Americans are not living under fascism. If you fascism as a continuum, you'd have to notice that someone is fucking with the dial and moving it very rapidly in the FASCIST direction Dude here thinks adopting the first pose makes him seem smart.

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

Trump says the US is in "armed conflict" with drug cartels. Meanwhile, his DOJ is disbanding a task force that took on cartels. Trump doesn't care about stopping drug trafficking — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy. This is a power grab.

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

We laugh at this shit -- I mean, how can you not? -- but it's serious: these guys want to infuse reactionary thinking into AI and then infuse AI into every nook & cranny of American life. They can't win the argument so they are trying to blunt-force their views onto us with money & power.

I haven’t commented on the latest Gaza “peace plan” because it isn’t one. It’s another instance of some outsiders saying what they want that some direct conflict participants will reject and Trump claiming he deserves praise for that. The hard part of peace is combatant buy-in and implementation.

This is a declaration of war against United States citizens

“Countries with the lowest rates of homelessness have made big investments in social and public housing. Yet in [NL] and Canada, housing has become an industry—part of landlords’ investment portfolios—which has turned a basic human need into a commodity whose value is determined by the market.”

In fact, carbon capture and storage is not a feasible solution. It is a massively expensive, taxpayer subsidized shell game that allows us (ie the oil industry) to pretend that meaningful action is being taken to reduce CO2 emissions. The only real solution is to reduce oil and⛽️ use.

Exactly. They insisted they were going to meet their emissions reduction targets until greenwashing legislation kicked in, and suddenly they cried poor. No reason to believe they’ll be any different this time.

Research is the key to unlocking Canada’s future and it needs proper funding. The federal government must uphold its Budget 2024 commitment to Canadian researchers. Read the Coalition for Canadian Research’s open letter: www.caut.ca/news/coaliti...

Hey @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social do not cut research funding in Canada: we must protect our innovation and research and can’t go the route of the US. @caut.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social @smufu.bsky.social

It is bonkers that we have a minister who's only responsibility is AI is bonkers. So much hype.

It's gonna be so much more hype. We are so boned.

Hugo had a good run.

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.

Hard to be surprised by anything this guy says anymore, but rejecting a grieving widow’s call to follow the example of Jesus Christ at a memorial service really is something

In rambling eulogy, US President rejects grieving widow’s plea to follow Jesus Christ’s example and love one another

Nada. Zip. Nothing. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

WTF?

We are soooo fucked. Canadian media is no better equipped to deal with fascism and hate than their American counterparts.

LOL

😬

And: the concentration camps; masked ICE snatching people from the streets (including, occasionally, citizens); sending the military into cities; blackmailing law firms, universities, and other institutions. The US is a fascist state, and censoring commentators/comedians is just part of the program.

Is this what all the AI enthusiasts want?

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

The standing ovation in Parliament today to honour Charlie Kirk was one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen from that building, and I gotta tell you, that list is long

Canada’s Parliament just gave Charlie Kirk a standing ovation. You can oppose political violence without rewriting the legacy of a man who did a lot of harm to vulnerable and marginalized communities. But Canada’s politicians, some media and many employers don’t seem to entirely understand that:

I spoke many times with Catherine McKenna about the failure of the RCMP/Parliamentary Security to address rising levels of threat. Homes were outfitted with security cameras but little was done to track online threats. Good people gave up on serving the public. nationalnewswatch.com/2025/09/12/f...

The most repugnant government, ever.

This is really scary. Pure fascist rhetoric.

The far right produces such a disproportionate amount of mass violence in the US that it comprises almost all political violence in the country Trump is a fascist that wants to use this event as a pretext for violence against his political opponents, and is literally justifying it here.

This is deeply ironic. But also very troubling. Report advocating for increased use of AI I education has markers of being written by AI.

The framing is a bit weird, scientists are "rethinking", etc. Many of the most credible experts disputed the silly "immunity debt" argument and put forward the immunity *damage* argument from the get-go.
