Thinking out loud here: what if Canada does become an energy superpower, but by investing in clean energy innovation instead of just building more ways to move fossil fuels around? www.ctvnews.ca/business/art...

This poor frightened boy is at Queens Animal Care Center if anyone in NYC can help. 💔

Canada really has an opportunity to be a leader on this and I am here for it.

Animal surrenders are way up, adoptions are way down, because people are losing their homes or can’t afford food and care. Shelters and rescues are in crisis. Just one more problem that could be more surmountable with a universal basic income. #ubi

Keir Starmer's attempt to prosecute artists for speaking up against genocide failed. @kneecapceol.bsky.social has been found innocent of all charges. As for Canada? Not a great look to have stood with Orban's Hungary and Trump in targeting this popular Irish group.

University professors are being fired for sharing screenshots of direct quotes from Charlie Kirk, but it’s totally fine that Brian Kilmeade wants to execute people for being unhoused. There words for people who are okay with murder as long as they get to choose the victims.

I’m curious what “average Albertans” think of their premier banning books. What’s going on with this that we can’t see in the headlines or echo chambers? (Alt text: photo of LeVar Burton on a rainbow background. Text reads “Read the books they don’t want you to. That’s where the good stuff is.” )

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

Hello #AcademicSky #EduSky ! Getting ready for #HE semester startup next week and I would love to hear your ideas for building connection in online classes in hybrid programs. They all know each other from f2f classes and I am the outsider. How do you help students feel positive, safe, and seen?

A lot of fans in the comments still can't bring themselves to read it, and that's fine - we all grieve differently. Just don't put it off until it's too late, yeah? It's a beautiful story.

It took less than an hour for this #UofG prof to get a company's AI chatbot to share sensitive data. “The more connected an AI assistant is, the bigger its attack surface,” warns Dr. Ali Dehghantanha. Read our latest #ExpertAlert: news.uoguelph.ca/2025/08/ai-c...

I'd say the most common response to universal basic income is some variant of "it will just increase prices!" In response, I frequently find myself explaining how it's not that simple, and there are many variables involved. So here's my summary of 17 of those variables to consider.

This right here. 👇

On this day in 2005, the Civil Marriage Act received Royal Assent. It legalized same-sex marriage in Canada after months of debate in the House of Commons. At the time, same-sex marriage was legal everywhere in Canada except Alberta, PEI, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

Social reproduction is a taxing and time-consuming element of every workspace, but automating early career activities does not resolve the problems of eventually needing inter generational knowledge transfer.

Almost every “successful” AI use case involves knocking the first rungs out of a career ladder, but those are the very positions our students desperately need to become acculturated into the professional spaces that will eventually require experienced professionals to replace the current cohort.

Weird pet peeve that is so ridiculously minor that I didn’t realize it right away: when Canadian businesses, charities, and non-profits use the US spellings of words like colour, favourite, labour, neighbour, etc.

You spelled “kidnapped and trafficked” wrong.

Once again, Ontario and Alberta want to put money ahead of human rights.

Americans have really got to unlearn the propagandist indoctrination that socialism is bad. It means that everyone has what they need, resources are shared, and we care for the earth & those around us. We've been taught to hate it so capitalists can keep exploiting us and working us to death.

Just about everyone I know canceled their subscription last year, but, but, WORDLE. Time to ditch the NYT Games subscription as well.

"If our communities lack roads, runways, clean water or reliable communications, they are not secure,” he said. nunatsiaq.com/stories/arti...

Danielle Smith lies. And then she uses those lies to justify laws that are against the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Don't ever forget that. /fin

Today we celebrate the cultures and communities that make Canada so vibrant. 🇨🇦🌍 Did you know? Canada was the FIRST country to adopt multiculturalism as official policy — a commitment we proudly uphold. Happy Canadian Multiculturalism Day!

People in the comments talking like the price is the most terrible part of the story.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day. Visit the Government of Canada website below for events and activities near you. www.rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/11001000...

In 2005, Canada became the fourth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage. The process to get the landmark Act passed included calls for boycotts of Famous Players, lots of debates and speeches. This is the story. 🧵 1/14

Happy Friday the 13th! Milo wants to remind you: if you see a black cat today, pet it.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

It’s World Ocean Day! Feels appropriate to share some photos of the ocean surrounding the coral atoll of Majuro in the Marshall Islands. Surely this is worth protecting.

A major argument you see against UBI: but people shouldn’t get stuff for free! It would be funny if it were satire, because in reality, “getting things for free” is only for the uber wealthy.

The entire Canadian media has been implying or outright stating that immigration levels are responsible for housing prices and the shortage of health care professionals. They never push back & say "actually domestic speculators account for 30% of home purchases & immigrants deliver your health care"

Columbia canceled my class on Race and Media, but I'm teaching it anyway. All thanks to people power and community support-- especially from you all on Bluesky! Happy to announce I'll be teaching Race Media and International Affairs 101 online-- hosted by D.C.'s MLK Jr. Memorial Library!

Social media algorithms are completely broken and BlueSky is thankfully a refuge from that grindset. But it does mean creators here are particularly reliant on others sharing their work or just sharing a kind word. Especially if we want a better Internet built on community rather than SEO.

I stand firmly for UBI. The evidence is overwhelming that it is a game changer in lifting people out of poverty and driving economic activity. You won’t convince me otherwise. I won’t be listening to people warning me about the “ills” of making life too easy for people on the margins.
