I wonder how many people would stop enabling corruption if the cost of doing so wasn't losing their home, food, health care and other necessities. Because stopping corruption, when leadership is corrupt, can cost them their job and all these things.

Would having UBI reduce institutional corruption?

My eggo ceramic spoon rest, made by Ficus Ceramica arrived and I'm ridiculously excited about it.

"The Nisga’a Valley Health Authority has sent a notice informing patients it is implementing a blackout for non-emergency patient travel bookings to the Lower Mainland between June 10 to July 20..."

I wonder if the Yukon will need to do something similar.

I'd like to see a movie like Inglourious Basterds but it stars trans people during the Trump regime.

Mattawa, Renfrew, Carleton Place... I was like these authors must be from here.

Sure enough, they're from Westport.

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.

The hobby of miserable people Transphobia is versatile: it can be a social lubricant for the boys, a wedge issue for strategists, filler for opinion writers, and an engagement booster for has-beens. What it's not is a deeply he...

I recently wrote about this! Almost all TERFs/GCs post-2018 are just terminally online ppl who latched onto transphobia as a pastime. And like happy ppl don't dunk on others as a hobby.

😂 that's pretty funny

Was surprised that this wasn't a community in Newfoundland, but then I guess if it was it would be called "Happy Dogdyke" or some such.

The thing that stood out for me was that the director deciding which camera shot was going on air knew that these were transparent attacks on minorities, and not the false premise being peddled.

It's generated by AI, not staged by people.

That's not Mark Carney, that's not the players, and that's not Parliament behind it. This is fake.

It's a two party system: one led by fascists, and one led by fascist enablers.

I pin it in on the poutine question 👀

Same.

The NYT is consistent in siding with child abusers.

I had to pick it up.

"Voters give the app access to their contacts and identify their friends, family and neighbours."

"Once they’re in, the app scans social media for negative posts about the political candidate, using AI to generate a counter-narrative in real-time."

Is Pete Hoekstra even in Canada? Like I see him make inflammatory comments to blow up the relationship, but I never see him at any local events like you would previous US ambassadors.

He won't be happy until there's no trans kids left. And even then, he'll just move on to attacking some other minority.

Emotionally stunted individuals like him would rather genocide to fill whatever is lacking in them than get therapy.

The last time I was able to do five blog entries in a month was in 2013. Nature is healing.

How to stop a dictator I spent months studying how authoritarians like Trump lose. The answer is shockingly simple.

For the past five months, I've been doing a research fellowship studying how democracies beat elected authoritarians like Trump.

I found a deceptively simple answer: if you want to save democracy, you have to *actually talk about democracy*.

Ben Ryan was trying to bait me into a transphobic back and forth. I blocked him and wrote this instead.

The people who engineered the trans panic are same ones who want cishet women in the kitchen.

I firmly believe that the attacks on trans ppl (and gay folk) are because we demonstrate agency and possibilities outside of that paradigm for the women they wish to coerce into subservience.

It's a story about aging while trans. About how connections change with time. About growing.

These emotionally stunted men perpetually going after trans people is so exhausting.

Darn it. Thanks for making me realise that account was likely a bot.

Yes! It's one of those spots that is how you'd hope it would be, and is constant as other diners in town have closed, gone upscale, or targeted entirely tourists.

When they think they project strength but really it's just embarrassing.
