apologies to all the cisgender roommates I've had in the past. you probably thought you were just renting a cheap, rundown 2BR with a person of awkward gender, but actually that was the seeds of the woke mind virus being planted that are now erupting in a "28 days later with pronouns" situation

I don’t care if your compassion has β€œrun dry.” These people are being forced out of where they live and having their belongings destroyed while City employees laugh at them.

The public should know how aggressive and cruel these City evictions are becoming. At this one, by-law officers were laughing while evicting tents and calling themselves β€œthe teepee police.”

It is insane that it took more than 200 journalists to be slaughtered and almost two years of Israel deliberately targeting them, for the CAJ to finally make a statement that prΓ©tends they've been opposed all along.

Uncredible hack organization that serves the employers.

CAJ expressed β€œconcerns” in November 2023 about the safety of journalists in Gaza. This statement is the first of its kind in almost two years, especially when it is now politically safe in Canada to come out against Israel’s crimes against humanity.

I will not be renewing my @cajournalists.bsky.social membership after this. CAJ’s failure to effectively speak out against Israel’s targeted killings of over 190 journalists since October 2023 should cast serious doubt on their ability to advocate for press freedom abroad.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

Pretty convincing response from Trump to the WSJ story about him sending an Sex Vampire Birthday Greeting to Jeffrey Epstein. Going to go ahead and declare this one "a nothing burger."

SiIvaGunner started off as an elaborate bit. It transformed into a volunteer, non-profit, artist-managed collective in the service of great rips and one the best parts of YouTube. aftermath.site/siivagunner-yo...

Uhhh!!! I think it’s either the Communications manager at the City, but we’ve been told that it’s a request from City staff, so it could be from the CAO? We’ll find out soon.

Genuinely mindboggling saga. It’s now devolved into something like a court procedural with tonight’s delegations attesting to the Mayor’s character (?????)

At my old workplace there was once a chicken-wing eating contest and one contestant was going so slowly that a coworker shouted out scornfully, β€œHe’s just eating lunch.”

Yeah, so the Mayor who:
- threatened to carve someone
- yelled at a woman and continued to bully her
- said one of the worst racial slurs
… will NOT be facing consequences for his behaviour. This report isn’t even about the slur!

Forgive me, I turn into a huge curmudgeon every June when this topic inevitably crops up. I just bristle when I’m being sold We ❀️ Gay People night at T-Mobile Park.

I question how genuine a symbolic gesture like this is when most teams enter Pride Mode every June to sell you Pride nights and rainbow jersey slop.

I can appreciate the stance this takes, considering how actively homophobic some clubs are, yet I think it’s worthwhile to note that we’re talking about a sports franchise worth $2.2 billion.
