Journalist in question is Sarah Kendzior, btw.

Bluesky suspended a journalist/author who deals in facts and research about authoritarianism, but Jesse Singal is still on here with a content warning when you click on his page.

... Yeah, I'm sure that's fine.

For everyone who needs to hear this today: dogs still exist.

forget about buppy?? never! 💜

Ahh, congratulations! That ring is as unique as you!

Having seen people in my workplace try to use AI to translate text into a language I speak....

Jesus titty fucking Christ, this is a bad idea.

Any week that sucks for Poilievre is a good week for meeee

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Maybe y'all could repost this with alt text so everyone can enjoy? Just a thought 💜

"mange dla marde mon esti de tabarnak" doesn't look nice written out but it sure is fun to say lol

Screenshot of news headline with pictures of Trump and Mamdani. Headline reads "Trump threatened to cut funding if New Yorkers voted for Mamdani. They did it anyway."

As a Canadian, I feel like telling New Yorkers what to do probably works about as well as telling Quebecers what to do up here.

And the crowd goes mild!

the horrors are, indeed, horrible

but eating butter chicken helps

Don't forget the Canadian federal budget dropping! (The ball, mostly, is what it's dropping)

Yeah, that's petty schoolyard shit

I was just becoming more politically aware when he died and MAN, do I wonder what my twenties what've looked like if he'd lived.

Fine, but not being happy their input wasn't solicited or used isn't a valid reason not to support the budget. The policy stuff is.

i am so completely over the ai "boom." 40k people might lose their jobs, which will objectively make things worse for the average canadian, but ooooh, shiny tech fad to kill the planet with!

we're not gonna see that money again when the bubble finally pops.

Let's make sure we understand something, that billion dollars on AI is just a write-off. Because AI is going to go tits up, and then Carney will have to find a new basket to put all his eggs in.

It doesn't create jobs. The only labour it creates is the work of cleaning up after it.

You missed the word "correctly" in there

Cannot express enough how much I do not give a single solitary fuck whether we get to be part of Eurovision. What's our way in? A monarchy that protects predators? PASS.

Screenshot of CBC article. Text: While he hasn't spelled out specific demands, interim NDP Leader Don Davies has said his party wants targeted investments that "support working families squeezed by high prices," "good jobs," affordable homes, and investments to "strengthen public health care." Davies has also signalled his party won't support an "austerity" budget that includes deep cuts, but said he wants to actually see the document before making a firm decision. Meanwhile, the Bloc Québécois said it would like to see higher pension payouts for seniors and more health-care spending which are unlikely, given the Carney government's pledge to rein in spending.

Screenshot from CBC budget updates. Text: I'm Cat Tunney, a senior reporter with CBC's parliamentary bureau. Davies, the interim leader of the seven-member NDP, called it a "critical budget, and it comes at a critical time for our country" and showed tentative support. "It would appear on first review that there are measures in this budget that we welcome and indeed have advocated for," he said in a statement, referring to additional infrastructure funding tied to union jobs, a commitment to co-op housing and references to an east-west electricity grid. However, he said there are also measures New Democrats believe are a step in the wrong direction, including cutting public sector workers. Davies said his party will now begin the work of judging whether the budget "meets the needs of Canadians."

Be serious. Screenshots are Davies's comments before and after the budget with "tentative support."

Blanchet (not Buchard) is pissed because he wanted healthcare $ and got none.

May is pissed because they're continuing not to take climate change seriously.

It's not about "being asked for advice."

The fact that they are the only party that looks like it's even entertaining the possibility of accepting this budget makes me want to set things on fire. #cdnpoli

MISSING: The NDP's spine and morals.

If found, return to Jack Layton's gravesite, no questions asked. #cdnpoli

i don't engage super often, i think i end up chatting with buppy more often, but yes! you're too fabulous to forget 😌

He's also self booping - if you approach him with a finger raised for booping, when you get close enough he'll stick his nose out to complete the boop.

Him's a good Flip Flop.

Photo against an entryway (shoe rack visible in background) of a large black and brown hound dog mix. His head is angled up so you see his snoot very well and he looks immensely pleased with himself and his Halloween bandana around his neck.

This one will wag his tail.. and then also burp.

ding dong, the dick is dead

Courage à ton père and good thoughts to you and your family ❤️
