An insightful read showing how some parents become radicalised into ‘gender critical’ transphobia when their child comes out as trans. Here, one of the most unhinged leaders of the ‘Mom’s for Liberty’ movement is interviewed, along with their amazingly well-adjusted non-binary child…

Times are tough, have an Enterprise

Absolutely wild. Israel targeted and massacred 31 journalists and media staff in Yemen. The second-deadliest attack on journalists ever recorded. The Israeli regime is built on war crimes.

Warp speed #startrek

There has got to be legal consequences for conduct in this administration

It feels like the Times shifted hard into “actually we will determine reality” mode after 10/7 and never came back. Luigi shit, mayor’s race, now this. Reporting from a world that doesn’t exist, for no one.

An economy that is turning towards almost exclusively graft, speculation, fraud and gambling to obtain wealth, which is basically what we currently have, is going to only create more conditions that lead to social isolation and violence.

The evil that men do lives after them

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

Trying to come up with an equivalent to this speed camera story but for transit riders. Imagine if, in wake of hypothetical reports of people getting mad about fines and vandalizing Presto readers, the gov was just like, well, I guess we should stop fare enforcement. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Toronto Police put major resources into ticketing cyclists inside the park adjacent to this camera & are currentl running a 3 week blitz on scooters. It’s a crystal clear msg to Toronto.

More reasons to be anti-AI

Food $200 Data $150 Rent $800 Baseball bats I’ve hidden all over the house $3,600 Utility $150 someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my family is dying

very shameful that we can’t get this done

Truly spectacular collection of shells, carefully arranged around blood-red coral by 17th-century French painter Jacques Linard in 1640. Today is his day.

An infinite variety of patterning in this fantastic collection of shells, plus deadly white and blood red coral rising up from among them, painted by Jacques Linard. Today is his day.

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere

I had a great time working with Greg Worsnop again, creating a series of posters that will benefit the Friends of Algonquin Park (FOAP), a non-profit charity that dedicates their resources to develop current and future stewards of Algonquin Park.

just arrived at the most incredible line of the gilded age

WTF are we even doing anymore. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

Tech people are insane

The end & the beginning: Resurrection & Annunciation at the second level of Grünewald's astonishing Isenheim Altarpiece, 1515. Today is his day.

I'll never forget when my movie screened at the film festival in Rome & this Palestinian flag popped up as the first frame. I started crying & thanking them...they said "oh we didn't do this for you...this flag comes up and stays up for one minute of silence before every movie we screen" ❤️ Italians

repeatedly emailing tens of millions of people that he is thinking a lot about what will happen when he dies is definitely helping, he should send more of these. i've only gotten like four of these in the last few days, keep it up, sir.

The average American simply has no idea how quickly the infrastructure that keeps us safe and healthy is collapsing. These systems run in the background thanks to government employees who quietly do critical work. Those employees are being purged and systems are being destroyed.

Snoop's ignorance reminds me of this dynamite passage from Bill Russell's book "Second Wind." He wrote this in 1979 and it still applies today: People use children to express their bigotry and narrow-mindedness.

Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war. She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza. tinyurl.com/3cn5c9vb

i need politicians to be as mad at housing prices as they are about cracker barrel's new logo

Will the rest of Ontario ever tire of Doug Ford spending their money on toronto pet projects? He has an entire Lawyer economic stimulus package going here.

Unfathomable how hard it is to achieve a victory supported by evidence of safety in this province

I’m still thinking about this proposal the City of Toronto is reviewing for solar panel roof canopies in parking lots that will generate 2.5X the (clean) energy Portlands gas power plant produces. DO THIS @mayoroliviachow.ca! Be a climate action leader! #TOpoli #ONpoli #ClimateSolutions

3/3 Eve gets to be a famous person too, which seems very unfair since she was demonstrably not full of wisdom.

The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe

In other words, Trump's proposal (i.e. Moscow's proposal) wouldn't just expand Russia's territorial control, it would ask Ukraine to recognize Moscow's ownership — not just control — over all the territory it currently holds. That's absolutely intolerable and impossible.

A NYT comment: “Humans ate organic, whole foods for millennia. They got plenty of exercise, lived without plastics. Until the mid-1800s, life expectancy at birth was 39. Food may be good medicine, but it’s not a panacea. Medical advances—like vaccines—have doubled the human lifespan, not superfoods”

this is definitely one of those slides you'll find in a history book in 30 years to make sure students understand that the perpetrators of this were entirely lucid and fully informed of what they were doing #political

Women-only bathing party in a palace garden. Perfect scene for a hot summer afternoon as imagined by David Vinckboons, whose day is today.

6 days after Soviet troops invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968, a Prague paper published these “10 Commandments”: ‘When a Soviet soldier comes to you, YOU: 1. Don’t know 2. Don’t care 3. Don’t tell 4. Don’t have 5. Don’t know how to 6. Don’t give 7. Can’t do 8. Don’t sell 9. Don’t show 10. Do nothing’

This part, from NYT. Just inhuman.

excruciating

fucking grim

finch west LRT is currently being tested ahead of opening. like its counterpart, the eglinton crosstown, it's stuck behind left-turning traffic. note the transit signal showing red while lines of left turning cars advance. 40,000 people are projected to use this line daily when it opens.

I get sick of being told “well, we have to take their concerns seriously.” No we don’t! Their concerns are completely made up! We shouldn’t even gesture at maybe taking them seriously, especially when what they want is to take rights away from someone!
