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

This game is freaking AWESOME. Highly recommend checking it out.

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 ?????

#lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday #letterboxd #filmsky 📽️ 1) Lots of fun. 2) Had some good moments and messages, hit and miss characters though. 3) Mostly spectacle, but that’s alright cause the spectacle was fantastic. 4) Good not great. boxd.it/dRsYH

Excellent thread, worth the read.

Apparently there's a sunrise... every single morning??

I just edited the #WeaponsMovie trailer to have Sweet Dreams as the soundtrack, for fun :) 🍿 #filmsky #film #weaponsmovie

Jimmy Kimmel's worst case scenario was moving from prime time to a podcast. Mario Guevara's is being shipped to El Salvador and facing more of the persecution he fled 20 years ago. If that happens, the chilling effect will be impossible to measure.
