I am begging my fellow Canadians to take a break for a second from obsessing about American corruption to focus on our home grown versions. Ford is a corrupt crony goon who has done countless shady backroom deals. He wants to remove one of our most powerful tools to hold him accountable. Fuck that!

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

Just the time to launch a war to enable continued burning of fossil fuels. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

HOCKEY and CANADA (if you look closely you can see my tears)

The better team lost, what can you say

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

this man is 100% spot on - more sauce please!

Gotta love the boos and jeers Vance got at the opening ceremony

It’s like living in China, but without the trust in science, progress on renewable energy, uptake in EVs, amazing high speed rail network, and great food.

If the Russians or Chinese had done this, we’d be expelling their ambassador…

There’s no way Trump has this all straight in his head. We’re going to end up with Mohammad Reza Pahlavi installed as the shah of Greenland.

If Vladimir Putin’s missiles weren’t already keeping me awake tonight, this @nytimes.com interview with Donald Trump would. “President Trump declared that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his ‘own morality,’ brushing aside international law and other checks…”

Extremely graphic, but this is the most clear angle I've seen of this straight-up murder. The woman's car wheels turn away, and the ICE officer SHOOTS HER ANYWAY. In broad daylight. Impunity. This is the bloodthirsty fuck who fired the gun MULTIPLE times:

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

Why did the United States spend trillions to win the Cold War, so that we could end up with a President that takes orders from a Russian dictator?

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” Read that again.

Breakthrough of the year? Renewable energy www.science.org/content/arti...

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

An absolute bedrock institution for understanding how the planet works, just civilization-scaled vandalism by the most incurious morons on Earth

Oh the indignity

Although it makes a certain logistical sense, it is the one segment least in need of a high-speed link

Doubly offensive because the architects are never the ones sitting out on the beam

"I'm not in denial, I'm in open rebellion" damn that quote goes hard

Dundurn Castle’s Christmas tour is a great holiday spirit booster. Fun Fact - Queen Camilla’s great-great-great-great grandmother was born here in Hamilton!

Agree 💯......

@jorkussmellington.bsky.social On coffee (and really, I would say most other food-related questions OTHER than unchecked consumption of red meat, which the biggest single food-related source of emissions and unsustainable use of land/water resources), this post makes an excellent point!

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

The Simpsons already did this.

this shit is just beyond parody, man

I moved a month ago and the movers (@twomenandatruck.bsky.social, though I don't think they're really here) lost one of my boxes containing about $1200 worth of stuff and they seem pretty intent on framing that as a me problem and it's just really incredibly frustrating 😑

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

When your ambassador is SO deranged that Time Magazine says, "Yeah, that quote sounds real".

Happy Thursday, Canada 🍁

“COP30 in Belém may well be remembered as the moment that the world accepted the leading role of China in addressing humanity’s most important challenge.” “China is helping enable the energy transition, while the U.S. tries to force countries to buy U.S. oil and gas. Global trends favor China.”

Cars might work fine in California or Florida, but they’re not practical here in Canada. We have winter.

You know what? There's actually a tested solution to this! it is brilliantly simple, and it WORKS. I would love to see @bsky.app and @support.bsky.team test this out. www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2023/ju...

I LEARNED THE ANSWER TO THIS Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name He did this six times Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel

Doug Ford cancelled green energy projects as one of his first actions. Now he’s subsidizing hydro rebates to the tune of $8 BILLION. Our money.

yes hahaha yes

Stories like this—which are shockingly common—are always in my mind when I read news stories about hysteria about e-bikes. It is like getting hysterical about pretend threats trans people pose in bathrooms as thousands of cis men commit actual sex crimes.

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

fish and chips, the native British dish invented by sephardic Jewish migrants in the 18th century using a vegetable no one on this island had encountered before the 16th
