Curiouser and curiouser. Re-posts are not endorsements but may suggest I’m feeling fight-y.

I’m curious too. Much of the province never cared about Ontario Place…because they don’t go there, don’t see it. Despite the obvious spending of their money it’s reno-bs. But now it’s getting into their backyards. Will they fight? Or will they contort their minds to fit the bs (again)?

Some great points here. We need to expand the province’s protected areas as well as improve access to public waterfronts. So much of Ontario’s lakeshores are privatized and closed to the growing population.

The annoying thing about this is that women on the left are not at all silent on the subject of men getting laid.

We have been explicitly saying that we won’t fuck dudes with right wing views for years and the thing it has made men do is think we should have no rights.

I’m Canadian, and I know people who would book mini vacations to see their favourite hockey teams play there. I don’t think that will be happening when the season resumes.

So sick of Ford selling off Ontario to his development pals. Can't help but wonder how much he personally will gain from this....

Seeing AI art being used to promote the cause of environmentalism was a real trip.

Saying this with as much love as possible, but please stop using AI generated graphics for activism. Plenty of artists willingly donate their time and work designing for activists, and always have. It's not necessary to step on an increasingly struggling group in order to promote worthy causes.

They alternate between being all-too credulous stenographers and out-and-out cheerleaders. It’s astounding.

I love St. Albert’s but their packaging is just as bad as Balderson’s.

Silicon Valley loves to pretend it's all about science and logic, but it's run by the least logical, least evidence-based, most emotional men on the planet.

We need Democratic leaders who are willing to cast America’s billionaires not as success stories of American capitalism, but as parasitic oligarchs robbing the people blind, dismantling the country, undermining western democracy, and burning the whole world just to keep their taxes low.

Come to #Montreal. Come to #Paris. Those are the models to look to. Bike infrastructure—and transit—is getting built. Pandering to drivers, and their cars, has to be a non-starter in the era of climate breakdown.

The victims in the Jeffrey Epstein story are the girls he sexually trafficked and abused. The victim is not Epstein’s co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, who a jury found guilty of deliberately aiding Epstein in heinous sex crimes for years.

Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.

"Do both".

Anybody who knows political staffers know that they REALLY prefer that you reach out to your rep by email.

Why? Because it's easy as shit to delete an email. The rep will never even see it.

That's why you call, and mail letters that take up actual physical space.

Same here.

This is like the Berenstein-Berenstain Bears (Mandela effect) all over again, and I don’t have the mental wherewithal to contend with it right now.

So you aren't sure Superman is relatable? Listen, the dude's Big Three enemies in life are: A billionaire, a wanna-be military fascist, and A.I. He's just like us for real.

‘It Was Violent’: People’s Commission Report Shines Light on Violence, Harassment and Hate Crimes During ‘Freedom Convoy’ Final report documents widespread ‘violence’ by convoy extremists – and abandonment of community by Ottawa Police

Despite efforts by their propagandists and apologists to revise history and reimagine the Freedom Convoy as a "peaceful protest," there were in fact numerous incidents of violence and harassment documented on the streets of Ottawa

I often get pushback when I slap AI. It's not that I am anti technology, it's just that AI offers few benefits and at enormous environmental costs.

cannot believe this is getting normalized while sex work is still illegal

as long as corporation instead of a woman is getting paid for love it is ok

if i had a nickel for every time a Florida official who helped sweep the Epstein case under the rug ended up in Trump's cabinet, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

Sanders, Warren accuse CBS of canceling Colbert's show in appeal to Trump The show has been No. 1 in the late-night slot for nine straight seasons.

Sen. Warren called Paramount's settlement with Trump "a deal that looks like bribery" following the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's Late Show

What if everyone eager to throw money at a "liberal joe rogan" that doesn't exist instead bought one failing local newspaper and hired a handful of real reporters and simply told them to go do journalism and print it.

Stephen Colbert's Cancellation Is Exactly What It Looks Like Mock a Trump bribe on Monday, get canceled by Thursday. The Late Show's death reveals how billionaires and presidents are reshaping American media.

"Colbert was there to say 'this isn't normal,'" writes @parkermolloy.com, "night after night, in homes across America."

"That voice is being silenced. Not because viewers stopped watching, but because a right-wing billionaire needs regulatory approval and a vindictive president demands submission."

Trump Says ‘I Absolutely Love’ That Stephen Colbert Got ‘Fired’ and ‘I Hear Jimmy Kimmel Is Next’ Trump weighed in on CBS's announced cancelation of Stephen Colbert's late-night talk show and is seemingly hopeful Jimmy Kimmel will be next to get axed.

again, no mention at all that the incoming new owners of CBS are the Ellison family, billionaire friends of Trump, who are already shaping the trajectory of the new CBS via Skydance execs before the deal ink is dry

that's apparently just not relevant enough to mention

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

Colbert has the highest ratings of any late night host.

"Financial reasons" my ass. This is political.
