(US *citizens* aren't subject to the safe third country agreement, but US residents who are not citizens are, so this would help them!)

Yet you don't condemn the slaughter of Iranian children by the United States and Israel.

"...analyzed over 14 million social media posts from accounts in Canada, and found that 87% of conspiratorial claims come from influencers."

Those on "X were the biggest culprits."

There has never been a better time to accept and vocalize that Jews and the Israeli government are not the same thing. Yes, the Israeli government has worked hard for decades to make us believe opposing its actions is inherently antisemitic. But it isn’t true. It never was.

The cowardice of watching the US lawlessly slaughter girls in a school with bombs and having nothing to say about it at all is disgraceful, and servile to a degree unbecoming of a supposedly sovereign nation. You're acting like lapdogs.

I hadn't seen Canada's response to this war, but it turns out that Carney and Anand are stuck in the past. We simply can't jump up and support every American aggression. The US is a faithless ally these days, doing heaps of damage. Does Canada really want to legitiamte an autocrat's war? No.

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"

Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

If Trump called, he'd get my answering machine 📵

A tiny bat flies around inside a big empty white void. We see a series of images of him flying around, looking increasingly nervous, before spotting something to the right.

The bat flies towards a pile of stuff. He perches on the handle of a sword. The sword is surrounded by some other things that have fallen out of previous collars, including a tennis ball, a golf ball, a bone, a steak, a pile of gold, and some water. Water. There is also a squirrel there, who was chased out of a previous comic, and who may have gathered all of these objects into the pile

Meanwhile, in the void outside the panels..
(A lot of stuff has been getting lost out there!)

This is super cool!!

Would love if it any part of Canada's government had the guts to 1) recognize these kinds of problems and 2) publicly go on the offensive against them, like this Norwegian government agency is doing. #cdnpoli #canada

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

The more we see of the Carney government, the more I’m convinced that they may understand the problem, but have misidentified the solution. Military spending, slashing public service, allowing the provinces to run roughshod on health care, trans rights & the environment?

“Antifa” is a sentiment and an organizing principle. There is no membership. He’d have better luck trying to find people who joined Paw Patrol.

One-Third of U.S. Video Game Industry Workers Were Laid Off Over the Last Two Years, GDC Study Reveals One-third of U.S. video game industry workers say they were laid off over the past two years, according to GDC.

Look, I'm sure someone smarter can explain to me all the ways in which this is a much more complex subject, but it seems to me this is entirely due to the brainrot of corporate short-term-line-must-go-up thinking. variety.com/2026/gaming/...

NEW: The Chinese-language messages that accused non-ABC Vancouver councillors didn't start with Lenny Zhou, who has since apologized for them.

They started with the mayor.

Every New York Times column & Atlantic thinkpiece, every Guardian broadside led us here. Jesse Singal and Ben Ryan and all the others "just asking questions" led us here.

Every bit of coverage that's treated us as suspicious outsiders and punching bags helped speed this day.

You are responsible.

I'm working on a story related to Carney's trip to India/government officials recent claim that "India is no longer linked to violent crimes," and one thing that really frustrates me is the repeated erasure of Sikh Canadians lived experiences.

My Windows partition decided to throw a fit, saying my PIN isn't available, and demanding MFA for an old Outlook account I haven't actually used in almost a decade. After trying and failing to regain access, well, I'm just going to do my job from Ubuntu.

The other major item on our agenda is the continuation of our debate on Bill C-4....which is mostly about tax relief, but which has, in part 4, an insidious clause that allows federal political parties to set their own bespoke information privacy rules, with virtually no restrictions. #C4 #BillC4

Fox News isn't banned in Canada, despite viral posts claiming otherwise – but it could be Viral posts celebrating the end of Fox News in Canada appeared on social media in June. Claims Canada blocked Fox News from its airwaves are false. Canada's broadcast regulator says

The CRTC removed the Russian state-controlled TV channels RT and RT France from its list of approved non-Canadian programming services after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. In its decision, the CRTC said it was "concerned with programming from a foreign country that seeks to undermine the sovereignty of another country, demean Canadians of a particular ethnic background and undermine democratic institutions within Canada."

Apparently we removed RT and RT France from Canada in 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine. The reasoning (from The Canadian Press) feels very applicable here too, and yet.

The CPC base and leadership are so entangled with MAGA, I bet they'd claim removing Fox would be a direct attack on them.

(A note that English videos typically focus on this being a Métis art; I'm learning from the Québec side so the cultural context is different, but I think the technique is the same.)

YouTube video by sashweaver Basic Finger Weaving Method

For English resources, Carol James has a book called "Fingerweaving Untangled" that's apparently well-regarded.

For English videos, sash and finger weaving are good keywords to use since that's the most common item to want to make. This seems like a decent intro to the fundamentals:

Totally! If you speak French or are okay just watching someone's hands, I started by watching Zef Arbour's videos where she walks through the basic setup and steps (www.youtube.com/@ZefArbour). I've since been working with a book called "Flécher: pour transmettre un savoir-faire patrimonial." (1/2)

When I was a kid I only knew libraries for the books and magazines (and eventually DVDs), but some of the libraries near me now have recording studios, board rooms, rooftop terraces, gift shops, and more. Plus they're often connected to community centres with even more amenities.

They look like they were perfect little boys. 🧡
