There is a reason TikTok is so good at figuring out what you want to see, and why it’s better than everything else: it’s a weapon, and the best weapon is one you don’t know exists, or worse, one you think you can’t live without

Carrie Underwood is dead to me now, which means my current condition of not being able to name a single song of hers is permanent

I've just realized that I've been here for a year and a half and have barely shared any of the #Manitoba tourism posters I've done. I started making them as a personal project a few years ago and add a couple more every year when I have the time.

Here is a thread!! #art #landscape #CANartist

Watch for the white shirts in the front row cheering.
It was our annual Seats for Soldiers Nite.
Our front row season ticket holders give their seats to active and former military.

Just 57 companies linked to 80% of greenhouse gas emissions since 2016 Analysis reveals many big producers increased output of fossil fuels and related emissions in seven years after Paris climate deal

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.

These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits.

The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.

If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.

I don't really use TikTok that much, but I find it fascinating that our government is on the verge of banning an app for national security reasons that are still unclear in the same week that Meta, the largest social media company, says it's now fine to hate LGBTQ people and call us mentally ill.

Someone remind Joe Biden that he has full immunity for official acts, like pardoning anyone he feels like pardoning, telling the IRS to release all of Trump's tax returns, and telling the DOJ to release Jack Smith's report and any non-classified evidence from Donald's many cases.

Leaked Meta Rules: Users Are Free to Post “Mexican Immigrants Are Trash!” or “Trans People Are Immoral” Facebook now allows attacks on immigrants and trans people, and posts like “Mexican immigrants are trash!” and “I’m a proud racist.”

I also recommend reading this article from the Intercept (I'm quoted), which came out just after EFF's blog post yesterday theintercept.com/2025/01/09/f...

In a sign of respect, every President, Vice President and First Lady put their hands over their hearts as President Carter’s casket moved past — except for one. You can guess who. Such disrespect! 🤬

The Final Act At just under two weeks to go before the inauguration, Trump is still fighting pitched battles in court to prevent the final evidence of his criminality from surfacing.

As always, Joyce Vance is succinct at breaking down the law for those of us without a JD. Excellent piece and so very well written.

Is Biden going to release the Jack Smith reports or not? He has immunity for official acts, per the Supreme Court, so he should just go for it!

Has Facebook Stopped Trying? Facebook has been overrun with AI spam and scams. Experts say Facebook has stopped asking them for help.

By the way the answer to this question I posed a few months ago was “definitely yes” www.404media.co/has-facebook...
