If you're still on substack, you are letting techbro dildos use your left-leaning journalism to launder right-wing extremism and it's just a terrible idea. You should stop doing that

But you still haven't heard the request to use alt text on your images... Please consider it? It's so much more accessible for your fans at a time when the NHL is depressing as all get out πŸ™πŸ»

yeah they're working on it! by end of this year is the plan. honestly, so far i've done the "add to homepage" feature of the browsers on my phone and tablet and that's been working really well - gives the impression of an app in the meantime, so i'm not fussed about the wait.

That's how you can tell human authors from AI.

AI will put in some em dashes, then apologise and take them out when told off.

Human authors will climb the filing cabinet, hissing, and defend their right to em dashes with a loaded stapler.

Okay friends.

Good news: I've got a new job!

Bad news: It doesn't start for a month!. Unemployment isn't enough, and rent is due tomorrow.

I need to raise $2500 to bring this balance back to positive and cover rent and utilities.

Problem is, not enough of y'all realized it has never once STOPPED being "eugenics summer," and when some of us tried to tell you it's woven through literally everything in Western society from our public health policies to even our basic linguistic conventions, you looked at us like we had 3 heads.

A major earthquake off Kamchatka, Russia has struck and a TSUNAMI WATCH has been issued for B.C.

North coast and Haida Gwaii, central coast and northeast Vancouver Island, outer west coast of Vancouver island and the Juan de Fuca Strait.

Now we wait.

Reminder of evidence that WAS included in the trial:

- EM's weight at the time
- Texts between EM and her colleague where she didn't disclose anything (used to suggest she's lying)
- Suggestions by the defense team that EM wasn't actually drunk, that she lied about falling outside the bathroom at Jack's, that Foote was wearing pants when he did a "fun party trick" over her body (not face) and that she wasn't hit but rather playfully and consensually "tapped" on the butt.

Reminder of evidence that was EXCLUDED from trial:

- The 2022 Hockey Canada investigation interviews with the players, which included statements that Foote was naked from the waist down when he did the splits over EM's face and that EM fell outside the bathroom at Jack's
- Text from a witness immediately after the event that said "[Dube] was smacking that girl's ass so hard. It look like it hurt so bad."

And yet, during the Hockey Canada trial, we saw rape myths on full display across five teams of defense lawyers. At no point did the judge correct such myths.

The judge DID make sure to remind the jury that they were to disregard signs outside that said "Justice for survivors", though.

Interesting what counts as biasing. Or rather, WHO counts.

PLUS! Due to a precedent setting ruling from the Ontario Superior Court in 2024, expert witnesses in trauma are no longer allowed to be called by the Crown in sexual assault trials.

The Court decided that expert testimony in that area is "unnecessary and confusing" and that "instruction against the myth-based reasoning is sufficient".

Thanks to the Ontario Coalition of Rape Crisis Centres for synthesizing exactly why the Hockey Canada trial set EM up to fail.

Periodic reminder that if you're on substack, I'm not supporting you with money. Lots of people have talked on here about making the switch to a platform that doesn't support Nazis. Do that and we'll talk.

Picture of a large black and brown hound dog mix lying on a couch. He has a hoodie tossed over him and is snoozing. It looks like he's wearing a wizard hat.

The wizard's name is Flip Flop, by the way.

Or Flipperton J. Flops the Third, Esq-why-are-you-like-this, if you're fancy.

He likes snacks and ear scritches and Snacks and car rides and did I mention SNACKS?

Oh, and naps. The wizard heckin' loves naps.
