Management wants shorter wait times at CRA call centers — while cutting the very workers who answer the phones. You can’t improve service by shrinking the workforce. Simple math.

The consolidation of Right Wing power in the UK.

Pardoned Jan 6 rioter Jake Lang taunted locals with racist stunts and threatened to burn the Quran as he led an anti-Muslim hate march in Dearborn, Michigan.

All well and good for him…until a counterprotester quietly joined the march and chose his moment to punch Lang in the face.

This weekend I'm at the Halifax International Security Forum, which — for the first time — has no official delegated from the U.S. government. I'll post some occasional thoughts from the Forum over the weekend, below 👇

Think of steel as flour for the manufacturing economy. A tariff is like a flour tax: the mill might add 1,000 jobs, but factories using flour cut around 75,000. That’s what happens when you tax an input instead of solving the real problem.

Do you have any particularly strong opinions on Stewart Brand? I remember being deeply fascinated by How Buildings Learn but I have no background to measure it against.

Spain’s Iberia, Portugal’s TAP, Chile’s LATAM, Colombia’s Avianca, Brazil’s GOL and Trinidad and Tobago’s Caribbean airlines have all cancelled flights to Venezuela after the US aviation regulator warned of danger from heightened military activity.

US operations against Venezuela to begin within days.

Covert ops the first move.

Mr Getson would do well to consider the potential impacts of such lies.

Shane Getson openly lied in the Legislature this week.

He said on multiple occasions that the Supreme Court of Canada had said that possession of Child Sexual Abuse Materials is "OK".

We cannot fix the woowoo until we get rid of the assholes.

My father in law delivered my husband himself, in their living room, in 1985 because my mother-in-law didn’t trust the obstetricians and midwives of the local hospital because they all, to a person, told the 39 yr old prima gravida with progressive MS to abort. that she couldn’t have a baby.

I do not do horror, that is not my genre, I have never done horror be it film or book, I have no desire to ever do horror, let that be the context for this post:

the fuck do you mean a key plot point of King’s novel ‘It’ involves a bunch of kids running a train on another kid

Posts like this are instructive, because regardless of what you think of Biden, if you're using "Trump Derangement Syndrome" as an insult in 2025 as a person nominally on the left, it is pretty clear your disagreement with Trump is based on aesthetics and not anything he's doing or has done

isnt this the guy who got mocked by the Dutch press at a presser and told that "this isnt America here you answer questions not give speeches"

Happy birthday to Lawrence Gowan, born on this day in 1956!

It looks as if some councils will collect them and some pharmacies will take them, fwiw.

the thing doctors wont tell you

*no one can diagnose you as trans. not a single person can decide whether HRT is right for you or not. every "gender medicine specialist" is literally just "trained" to ask if you're really sure you're trans in 50 different ways before reluctantly having to agree*

i love how bsky posters are so eager to appear worldly and wise that they'll jump to say "AND YOU'RE SURPRISED????" to the craziest shit that's ever happened. if bluesky existed on 9/11/01 you fucking bet these people would out here with "obviously, everyone with a brain cell could see this coming"

The Centers for Disease Control will be changing their name to the Centers for Disease Propagation.

I love everything about #IGivearod. It shouldn't be needed. #UglyDogs

They're calling her the most vindicated girl of the 21st century (I still have no idea if you can eat tulip bulbs do not take toxicity advice from podcasters)

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

But the landed gentry of Toronto, “progressive” & conservative, have said they are bad, filled with artless, child-rejecting people who don’t understand ideas of neighbourliness & grace.

We do Uber a little differently here on Dartmoor.

idk whether to be impressed at mamdani's sheer herculean likeability or unnerved at the candid glimpse into the level of cognitive dissonance the average politician maintains on the regular either way this makes me feel like my brain is on fire
