Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Thanksgiving in Canada has nothing to do with Columbus!

We are a colonial country with a million things to atone for but Thanksgiving is not one of them.

Our Thanksgiving is timed with the harvest and it's literally just "Be grateful for harvest"

US Imperialism has brain rotted too many of you.

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.

When Will the Lion Concern Himself Joking memes make light of the uncomfortable reality: everyone's got a little of that post-COVID brain damage these days

Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest:

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪

Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.

I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

You wonder what disabled Canadians, subject to coercion into assisted dying because governments keep disability supports well below the poverty line, need to do to get anywhere near the attention paid to ostriches.

Second Amendment activists in shock as Charlie Kirk shot instead of just schoolchildren OREM, UT - Americans who champion the right to bear arms were shocked Wednesday as controversial commentator Charlie Kirk was shot and killed, as opposed to the ordinarily acceptable trend of mass shootings in schools.

Second Amendment activists in shock as Charlie Kirk shot instead of just schoolchildren

healthy ideological opponents are people who challenge each other on *how* we achieve collective liberation, not people who want to debate whether or not we *should*

It isn’t “grace” to pretend to hand-wring over a man who called for violence, praised gun culture, dehumanized trans folks, and led young people into violent nationalism. It is disingenuousness at best, rank cowardice at worst. And it does harm.

If your words whitewash a fascist, stop speaking.

Sex work is 1000% more honorable and socially beneficial than working as an ICE agent.

It's anti-human on a fundamental level to say any one of us MIRACLES of creatures & our children cannot freely walk about this ONE SOLE ONLY little tiny MIRACLE of a planet it is spiritually wicked to keep us from each other all across our ONE HOME, the only PLANET in the UNIVERSE known to have LIFE

Welcome to the Golden Age of Testicular Technology | The Tyee Lululemon’s ABC pants won’t leave you hanging. But beware of lawsuits.

"A lot of men have trouble with the idea of buying clothes based on joy, or self-fashioning, or looking good," @dieworkwear.bsky.social said when @harrisonmooney.bsky.social called him to talk performance tech for @thetyee.ca.

My greatest achievement as an editor maybe

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

And on E. B. White's birthday!

I'm just another common working man from Ontario who lost his job, and came to Alberta to steal one from someone who rightfully earned theirs. #cdnpoli

Well, we've already lost vaccines, colleges, cancer research, citizenship, disaster relief, and even weather forecasting, why not medical insurance and all the rest too? Have to feed those billionaires . . .

Hey Toronto Covid Cautious friends! I’ve got a young CC friend going into 2nd year out there looking for potential clean air roomies. Pls dm me with any leads!!

I gotta say I find a lot of AI discourse around higher ed very confusing. "if ChatGPT can write your essays is college even worth it?" did people think math teachers were assigning problem sets because *they* couldn't figure out the answers?

If you are younger than 83, you have never seen the US drop a single bomb as a formally declared act of war according to its constitution.

Homeland Security tweets: It is absolutely sickening to compare ICE law enforcement agents to the Gestapo.

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

"If we wish to have an inhabitable future for us and our children and their children, then might I quietly suggest we stop electing and tolerating obvious fascist buffoons because we think they're entertaining characters, as if they were housemates on Big Brother. This isn't reality TV. This is reality, or what's left of it. Let us instead protest and rail at these dribbling Nazi idiots to our last breath, rather than beam stupidly as Elon Musk 'sends his heart out to us' Nuremberg style. Let us point out that they are suicidal cretins when they insist that climate change is a Chinese hoax. Let us not give these witless fuckers an inch."

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

its so funny how economists will be like noooo its not fair china keeps reinvesting its wealth back into its economies instead of giving it all to like 20 guys, thats cheating 😭
