There are many silly things here, but the idea that Manitoba elects republicans on a province wide ballot is idiotic.

Millionaire trophy hunter gored to death by 1.3 tonne bull on African safari Asher Watkins, 52, was tracking a 1.3 tonne Cape Buffalo bull, known as the Black Death, on Sunday when it suddenly charged at him at 35mph.

Ah that's lovely news.

Good god. Definitely not in favour. I live nearby and don’t want this garbage in our park!

UDub or UofW or UWinnipeg AFAIK

I agree. UWinnipeg just paid actual money to obtain the slogan UWin. Actual money.

What perfect album came out when you were 16?

I'm a baker with a PhD, naturally I had to get my thesis turned into a cake 🤷🏻‍♀️

It only took me a million viewings to realize that there’s Latin in KPop Demon Hunters!

An open letter from the presidents of Gaza universities Our campuses may have been razed, but our universities continue to exist.

First, I am one hundred percent one of these ‘radical breastfeeding activists’ that’s she’s talking about. Let’s acknowledge that she’s responding to a post where I asked a BF’ing question of a public space. I bf everywhere, I’m a working mum, I will fight for my right to feed my kid

Francesca Albanese is a truth teller. She has spoken out against the genocide of Palestinian civilians as UN representative. Trump is targeting her. Canada is totally silent.
Mark Carney must be clear: either we support international law or we support gangster regimes.

What do @mark-carney.bsky.social and the Canadian government have to say about this egregious middle finger to international law?

“Gaza deserves death. The 2.6 million terrorists in Gaza deserve death! … Men, women, and children – in every way possible, we must simply carry out a Holocaust on them – yes, read that again – H-O-L-O-C-A-U-S-T! For me, gas chambers. Train cars. And other cruel forms of death for these Nazis. Without fear, without hesitation – simply crush, eradicate, slaughter, flatten, dismantle, smash, shatter …. Gaza deserves death. Let there be a Holocaust in Gaza,” said Elad Barashi, a TV producer affiliated with Channel 14, on 27 February 2025. in a post on X which was later deleted.

What a good Friday for pedestrians and other perambulation enthusiasts! It wasn’t quite parting the Red Sea, but political will and a beneficent cost-benefit analysis, parted the vehicle traffic at Portage and Main. Allowing, after forty-six years, for pedestrian crossings at street level. 1/2

Portage & Main opening is wonderful but the best pedestrian improvement in Winnipeg has to be the crosswalk headstart. Write to your councilors so that this pilot project becomes permanent!

'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, prompting the military prosecution to call for a review into possible war crimes

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza.

Truly an atrocity built on atrocity.

Zohran "little muhammad" Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York. He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings. Attached is my letter to @AGPamBondi.

An actual member of Congress. And the Democratic Party would put up no resistance whatsoever.

Get rid of the military and tell Trump/NATO to eff off?

Disgraceful that @mark-carney.bsky.social did not condemn the illegal American attacks on Iran. Canada should stand firmly on the side of international law. Once more glad to have the principled @leahgazan.bsky.social as my MP!

2003 all over again. There are no nuclear weapons. There is no reason to start a war.

I assume we’ll find out on a signal thread

Why would I want Meta AI to summarize messages from my friends?!?

Thanks!

PSA for everyone going to protests

BREAKING: Israeli Forces Board Gaza Aid Flotilla and Detain 12 Crew Members Zeteo contributor Greta Thunberg was on board the ship.

Israeli forces attacked and illegally boarded a civilian sailing vessel in international waters and kidnapped 12 volunteers en route to #Gaza with humanitarian aid.
Canada, France, and the UK: it is time to end impunity for war crimes!

A new Ancient Greek web library: oxytone.xyz lets you highlight different parts of a text (verbs and cases, for example) and offers full lemmatization. You can also create flash card decks from any custom selection of text (via @Athanasius_45)

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
