Happy International Women's Day. 🏴
New story out from @cloelogan.bsky.social and me. Data centres are being planned across Ontario, with some using the same amount of electricity as 700,000 homes. Where are they? And why are communities being left in the dark?

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right.
Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.
This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.
I've been saying it a lot, but these deaths line up with what happened in early concentration camps during other regimes: Deaths from poor conditions, disease, or abuse. These deaths are not accidental. They are the direct result of a camp system that is designed to harm those being imprisoned.
"iS tHeRe a tEcHnoLoGY tHe leFt Is eXcItEd aBoUt" yeah, renewable energy, mRNA vaccines. Lots of cool stuff like that! Probably not the one whose main promise was cutting payrolls
I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!
Why are people always yelling at The Left, a group almost entirely shut out of public life, including mainstream news outlets. You are mad at people on social media. Get a life
politicians leaving twitter/x should be a no-brainer
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
A foreign for profit healthcare company has been approved to extract blood plasma at twice the rate of Canadian Blood Services. While this plan is effective, it also comes with health risks for donors, many of whom are poor and vulnerable. #canada #cdnpoli #canadianbloodservices #frankdomenic🍁
it’s really important to have publications like People covering this because it’s going to get seen by so many people who don’t consume political media
per my point about the mercator projection being the root of this whole thing
i don't know what to do about a system where people in power believe the antisemitic CSAM generator is too important of a platform to leave because the worst pundits on earth think the platform signals something about free speech
Abysmal statement from Canada on the illegal US action in Venezuela.
It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.
Just a general reminder that your experience on any social media app depends a lot on what *you* make of it. It is easy to find some annoying people on any platform. But platforms like Bluesky also give *you* way more power to control your own experience and to fix whatever annoys you.
BREAKING: We won!
Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
The CBS takeover by Larry Ellison and Bari Weiss is the most foreboding move in a while, and I’m not saying that lightly.
It will have an effect on the 2026 elections: CBS will now lie to people and normies will believe it.
This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.
Just so I'm clear:
TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal
TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.
TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.
Free speech, everyone.
I'm not sure about this branding but I'm not the billionaire business genius
Having proper ventilation and filtration of all indoor air spaces would mitigate symptom-free spread. So many good reasons for the govt to have a national grant/subsidy program to clean indoor air in every home, office, commercial, industrial building. What a missed nation-building opportunity!
Unions representing Ontario public sector workers are holding a rally Thursday outside of Queen’s Park to protest the province’s return-to-office mandate. #OnPoli

Young Ontarians are disillusioned by sky high cost-of-living, housing insecurity and rampant unemployment.
Doug Ford’s message to them?
You’re not looking “hard enough”.
For someone with so much contempt for education, he sure lectures a lot.

NEW: The Ontario Liberals have tabled more than 4,000 amendments to the province’s controversial Bill 5 in a last-gasp attempt to slow its progress during the final day of committee and force the government to delay passing it into law. #OnPoli
globalnews.ca/news/1121078...
Ontario Liberal MPP Ted Hsu has filed over 4000 amendments to stop Bill 5 - one of the Ford government’s most dangerous & anti-democratic bills.
This is about your clean water, air, and community. We will keep fighting until this government kills Bill 5 & gets it right. #onpoli
The Ontario Science Centre was shuttered on June 21, 2024, with the Ontario government claiming that a structural roof issue made it unsafe. New documents suggest that the engineers inspecting the roof didn't agree. #OntarioScienceCentre #ONpoli #Ontario
A bit of a small explosive allegation here. The federal government was prepared to give the province $1 billion for 2-way all-day service to Milton. But while Doug Ford said he was “1,000 per cent committed” to making it happen, Metrolinx has pointed the finger at CPKC. #onpoli
