The next time a Republican claims they are the pro-life, show them this and then say “This explains why you are full of shit”. This whole thread is enraging.

Gotta love this trend line. May it continue to the mid-terms and beyond.

Does the Guinness Book of Records have any categories for hypocrisy? Several GOP I would like to nominate.

Reminder that the Ford government loves business and hates Ontarians.

He thought this one was a picture of him as an astronaut

he's counting on people not knowing what a doctor looks like because they don't have healthcare

Another Canadian news organization decides it would rather be in the ad revenue business than in the news business. Shame on CityNews.

Southerners began the Civil War to preserve, protect, and expand the institution of slavery by firing on Fort Sumter on this day 165 years ago: Apr. 12, 1861. As usual, @hcrichardson.bsky.social offers the best explanation of this moment in American history and how/why it happened.

Why not in Canada? Oh yeah, it would come under Provincial jurisdiction and, in Ontario, we have a government that seems to hate renewable energy.

Celia brings the eye of a former housing lawyer and a current housing advocate to the new developments in an old community. Mount Dennis is the western most station (currently) on the new Crosstown transit route.

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

Elon Musk didn’t go to the moon. Jeff Bezos didn’t go to the moon. NASA went to the moon.

May 14, 2009: Jeremy Hansen was chosen to be one of Canada's newest astronauts. April 10, 2026: Jeremy Hansen returned from the Moon.

Splashdown! Vehicle is stable and upright. “A perfect bulls-eye splash for Integrity and its four astronauts!” #Artemis

lovely

Aide: sir you were supposed to choose ONE of the talking points

OK I was fine with lives elves and dragons fucking, but now romantasy has gone too far.

First column Sunday! Crosstown Bits and Bites chronicles my visits to each of the 25 stops on Toronto’s newly opened Crosstown transit line. We have a great city to explore. #ttc #Line5 #crosstown #eglintoncrosstown #crosstownbitsandbites #TouristAtHome

JD Vance would apparently not condemn this as foreign election interference, since he HATES foreign election interference.

Trump trying to bribe the people of Hungary into re-electing Viktor Orbán.

How many times can Hassett get away with pretending there is no worldwide market for oil? And long before an interviewer calls bullshit?

The next Great Schism will be between the Grok Orthodox and the ChatGPT Catholic branches of Christianity

Which is more amazing—the conception or the execution? “Aerial Embroidery” #NeedleArts

Bird lovers take note—the official birds of Canada’s provinces and territories. Jays, owls, puffins, chickadee—something for everybody. Some great photos. #BirdSky

Jack Miner spent his life protecting migrating birds. His Ontario property became one of the first bird sanctuaries in North America. Through his efforts, he helped to save many bird species from extinction. This is his story. 🧵 1/11

For all you needle arts aficionados.

Put this in #TheCrueltyIsThePoint file. If you are American, contact your representatives in Congress and demand that ICE be abolished, as it is clearly ungovernable.

Bessent seems to have forgotten that his boss says he won’t sign ANY bill before the SAVE America Act (which Republicans lack the votes to pass).

Brutal.

My fencing club's Odyssey of the Mind team just won the Ranatra Fusca Award at states, which means qualification for World Finals and they could really use some help getting there. (Even if you can't afford to donate, you really owe it to yourself to at least click through to read the description)

What an extremely sad commentary on a large chunk of the U.S. electorate, worse because it is an honest and accurate assessment.

something strange and horrible and somehow fitting that we should have a very real threat of madman civilizational destruction at the very moment when we also have humans on the dark side of the moon taking pictures that show how small, precious, and beautiful our world and existence is

I’m sure Hansen, after that weird hat tip to Canada, wouldn‘t want to say a whole lot. He’s certain to know how much Trump is hated here and wouldn’t want to be seen to be overly friendly. So, a thumb’s up. Perfect.

ARE THEY STILL SENDING THAT ASSHOLE WITKOFF?????

Vive Le Canada!🇨🇦

Share this one w your people who don’t read the news much or are passive consumers of information. A secret govt should resonate. If secret over “small” things like bike lanes - what else is there. This should resonate. It should (famous futile words).

Interesting blog on the history and principles of NATO. Useful to know before Trump shreds the U.S. role in it irretrievably.

“Three Hundred Habeas Cases in Which the Government Has Defied Court Orders” An extraordinary database of non-compliance, from @katherinepomps.bsky.social and @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org for @lawfaremedia.org. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/thre...

Interesting short 🧵 on the advantages of mixing kids with different circumstances.

It's the amicus deadline in Perkins Coie LLP v. DOJ (the law firm EO appeal that DOJ tried to drop and then changed its mind). On the DOJ side, there was one amicus brief signed by five conservative orgs. (storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...) On the side of the law firms we have...

I admire @erininthemorning.com and their commitment to the trans community, but in their zeal, sometimes does more harm than good (I see misinforming the public as a harm). This 🧵 will better inform you than what Erin has posted.

My wife showed me this story, and it got me thinking about the Trump/Jesus comparison. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

I’d just like to thank President Trump for making me proud to be Canadian

I for one would be MORE likely to buy tickets to a concert if I know MAGA won’t be there. So I’m pretty sure MAGA boycotts would be financially positive for artists. You rock, @brucespringsteen.net. #TheBoss
