Now is not the time for austerity!

sponsored youtu.be thing from ABC Vancouver Zero means zero: 0% property tax increase in Vancouver for 2026 then all their silly clown in a row

world cup of garbage strikes is gonna be awesome

found exactly the one use of “evil recoils in the presence of Christ” I am willing to sign off on, HOOOOOOOOLY SHIT

Father Larry did not come here to fuck around

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

I was 21 years in Canada's parliament and I have 2 simple questions:
1. Who the fuck is @vgasparro.bsky.social ?
2. Why did @mark-carney.bsky.social let him ban the Irish group @kneecapceol.bsky.social?
If there is a fund to sue for damages, count me in.
Seriously.

If I were actively trying to destroy the United States from within, going after and dismantling its public health would be like the first thing I’d do.

Just pointing that out.

This is beyond dangerous. It’s leaving us vulnerable in a way we can’t really fathom until it’s too late.

Great news, everyone, the Mortality and Morbidity people got fired

We're all going to live forever

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

This is AI.

people are going to post AI slop...sometimes they just do not realize it at the time and have the good graces to delete it

but if they are told and keep posting it your safest action is just to block them because they will continue to spread it

this is absolutely my favorite protest innovation of 2025

"my opponents are violent antifa extremist terrorists"

"your opponents are dressed as giant inflatable frogs"

solid fuck you to the pepe crowd too

For isolated seniors, Canada Post delivers more than mail | CBC News As the Canada Post strike hits the one-week mark, there are growing concerns for one group of Canadians who typically rely on the delivery service more than most — seniors.

We could be treating Canada Post as not just an essential delivery service, but an essential social infrastructure in our communities.

Instead the government prefers to treat it as a costly burden that must be subject to death by a thousand cuts.

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

Caitlin Flanagan @CaitlinPacific I’ve missed hearing Woody Allen’s voice - I’d been so rattled this week and there he was, his full self. ⁦ @bariweiss ⁩ is the perfect interviewer. She seemed almost like a daughter to him - in a way she is. We all are. Order Life with Baum!

like a daughter to him

This excellent video builds out the case for public grocery stores.

This idea is landing super well with Canadians, who are tired of trading their paycheques for overpriced food so corporations can line their pockets.

It’s the kind of populist offer the NDP can win with! Join us: lewisforleader.ca

Oh HELL NO! No ICE in Canada EVER!!

Big money in Edmonton’s mayoral race?

CityNews looks at disclosures and corporate donations. They show one candidate for mayor received significantly more money than others, including from corporate donors.

Candidates defend & scrutinize the role of corporations. #yeg #yegcc

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

these people are actually out of their fucking minds and im so sick of being told we need to pretend otherwise

Legacy media is such a fucking joke.

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

Offsets can't cut carbon *even in theory*

The whole point of offsets is to create permission to *not* cut carbon.

So when they don't even live up to their own standard, they are so much worse.

This is how propaganda works. They slapped an image on this from Los Angeles in 1992 during Rodney King riots.
