Ew, what? “Provided a wife”?

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Only here to call on @telussupport.bsky.social for being impossible to reach when I need help.

1. Why were my pre- payments cancelled?
2. Why am I being charged $20/month for “easy payment” when you’ve cancelled my pre-auth pay? Please refund that.

You have my email, please reach out. Thank you.

As a member of the IEF Board of Directors, Althea contributes to the HR portfolio.

Oh fucc no

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.

"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."

It's a must-read:

Last time I bought Stag & Doe tickets all I got was a lacklustre DJ and bar rail rye.

Article reads: Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

Ontario has the lowest rate (4.9%) and PEI the highest (14.2%).
The trend has increased in recent years.

“What radicalized you?” Bro I was told to treat people the way I would want to be treated in kindergarten and it made sense idk what else there is to say

A post from X by William Kory Amyx, who is running for Congress in Indiana. It reads: Today, news broke that Charlie Kirk was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University. Let me be blunt: I will not pretend to feel sorry for Charlie Kirk. For years, he has profited off division, peddled conspiracy theories, and targeted marginalized groups with rhetoric so toxic it has made this country less safe. He has called for public executions, mocked trans people as “abominations,” treated politics like a holy war — and in 2023, he even said that gun deaths were an “unfortunate” but acceptable price to keep the Second Amendment. Today, he became part of the very toll he once dismissed. That doesn’t make him a martyr — it makes him a cautionary tale about what happens when leaders treat human lives as expendable. That doesn’t mean I condone what happened. Political violence is wrong — always. It poisons our democracy, no matter who the target is. If we go down that path, America as we know it collapses. But here’s the truth: when you spend years throwing gasoline on the fire, you don’t get to act shocked when flames break out. Charlie Kirk built a career out of incitement. He’s not a victim of political violence so much as he is one of its architects. This is a reminder that words have consequences. Leaders — real leaders — should be lowering the temperature, not raising it. They should be uniting people around solutions, not cashing in on fear and hate.

This got a lot of people angry over on X

Over 300K Black women have lost their jobs. That's a huge story with wild consequences for the economy. Your first priority as a progressive org should be to hire some goddamn Black women.

Here's your reminder that Postmedia owns all these papers.

They also bought SaltWire, but I haven't added them to the graphic.

Sorry, eh?

Hi. I know I've said this before, but it bears repeating: we have to be able to criticize Mark Carney without living in fear that doing so will help Poilievre or weaken Canada. He is our Prime Minister. Out of anyone, he deserves to be watched and critiqued. We should all be dying on this hill.

What's also a shame is that Postmedia has announced that the government funding they receive is a key part of their business strategy.

We're funding our own Conservative propaganda machine with our tax dollars.
