Just spent 5 days at #NDP events, and 2 days writing/researching. The story of Avi Lewis's leadership election win is an interesting one, and it's all broken down in this article I wrote:

The newspaper I write for has a Bluesky account! Follow them at @theleafnews.ca, especially if you're in #Winnipeg :)

All of humanity is Sam, right now

Excellent visualization of the true distance between the Earth and our moon: #artemis #AGoodPlace Source: www.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/s...

Researching this explainer was eye-opening. Worth a read if you're interested in more affordable transportation: theleafnews.ca/2026/multimo... #winnipeg #activetransport

Canada has ties to ICE. Please take 20 seconds to sign this petition to parliament, telling them to cut those ties: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

A reminder: this is an Irishman with valid papers speaking about how he's being held in US concentration camps. If you don't have to go to the US, do not go to the US. "GDC" is not "have to go". One denial at the border is going to mark you for life, and that's the best of the bad outcomes.

“Please enjoy the museum”: Relooted is OUT NOW! Please share!

#filmsky what do we think of the new The Drama trailer?

#lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday #letterboxd #filmsky 📽️ 1) Masterful. 2) Good cinematography, but terrible boxing. 3) Visually amazing. Not very interesting otherwise. 4) Exciting, but not creative or thoughtful. boxd.it/dRsYH

About a week after starting to post anti-ICE videos, the activism organization I work with was banned from Instagram. (thread) #ICEout #stopICE #censorship #resist

What should I ask politicians I interview? Comment your ideas. Community driven journalism holds reporters accountable — while we’re holding power to account. #journalism #canada #fyp

PETITION: Tell the US Senate to Abolish ICE. If anyone knows how to petition effectively, it's Ekō. Take 10 seconds to sign. Every signature counts. #abolishICE #resist #ICE action.eko.org/a/us-senate-...

Anyone know if this stat has a secondary source? I've been doing some digging for a video about Bluesky, and couldn't find this ~30% replicated anywhere. @jay.bsky.team, if you see this, I'd love to do an interview!

This case is an important one to watch if you care about your own right to know. If the police are free to arrest, detain and block journalists while acting on industry's behalf, our whole information ecosystem gets eroded.

This is a new project of mine. Would really appreciate if you took a minute to check it out, and I'd love to hear what you think :) spira.news

PETITION: Tell oil companies like Chevron and ExxonMobil not to get on board with Trump's invasion of Venezuela. We're 800 signatures away from 20K. Every name counts. action.eko.org/a/venezuela-...

Is there a good reason for me to care so much more about Canadian lives than Swiss ones? Lately it's been bothering me how often news stories talk of the few, singular, or even *potential* North Americans hurt abroad - instead of acknowledging the equal horror of any life being lost in a tragedy.

Watching Trump speak and justify why the US is entitled to invade another country and kidnap the president makes me think that when we started talking about the “post-truth” era, we had no idea of how deeply post-truth it’d become. Perception of reality is now random and optional.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I also felt like I wrote a lot today, but I think most of it was in a search engine. I’m too curious for such a confusing world with near-infinite instantly available information.

Just donated to @thetyee.ca. You should too :) The Tyee is independent, non-profit, Canadian journalism. We need more of that. And the cool hat doesn't hurt, either.

1/2 For the avoidance of doubt, my own take on the Avatar movies is: Visual treats with mostly simplistic stories, by design because Cameron hedges his deep tech engagement with familiar, tropey scripts that sell well globally. This has been his mode since T2 at least and he executes well on it.

Embrace your inner weirdo, don’t suppress it. The world needs more weird.

Crazy advancement in quantum computing, one step closer to making it available to average consumers. Still not sure exactly what quantum means, but I think this is good news? news.stanford.edu/stories/2025... #stem #quantum

Me and some friends watched 23 YouTube short films in a row, a few nights ago. These are the #LastFourWatched. My favourite from the night: The Man Who Was Afraid Of Falling boxd.it/dRsYH

A wealth tax on the richest 0.5% of Canadians would add $30 billion in gains per year, supporting tax CUTS for middle and low income workers, AND funding important public services. So... let's do that maybe? Petition: act.gp/3LBDxtJ

#lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday #letterboxd #filmsky 📽️ 1) Second watch, loved it again. 2) Great characters and dialogue, not great ending. 3) INCREDIBLE animation. 4) Short film from a recent film fest. boxd.it/dRsYH

The northern lights last night on my farm in Manitoba 👌

Just saw #TheLongWalk. Incredible, until the very disappointing end. Great writing and acting though, and relevant to today’s nationalism, and glorification of war and violence. #letterboxd #filmsky

Just used a zucchini spiralizer for the first time, and I am in awe. My wrists are not. But I am.

My water bottle has no stickers. (a thread)

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

I think about this a lot.

Today’s priorities: 1. Build a giant camera 2. Work

Reading is resistance. I like that. Currently reading Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood, what about you? #booksky #books

Ask me something specific, and I will give you a meandering, passionate answer. Ask me something broad and open-ended, and my brain goes blank. 1/2

CP Newswatch, supposedly “the latest and most important news of the day” 1. Major ceasefire broken by Israel 2. Important baseball game coming up ?????
