A CALL TO ACTION: Submit “Media Bias” Tips The White House recently launched a Media Bias Portal as a service to truth and transparency. Its purpose is to combat the baseless lies,

The White House has launched a webpage to report "media bias" tips. It would be a pity if it were flooded with tips about every show on Fox News.

Sale of Canadian armoured vehicles to ICE agency 'deeply troubling': Kwan OTTAWA — Anti-armament advocates say Canadian firms shouldn’t be selling armoured military vehicles to United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or any other organizations with sketchy human ...

For all the Canadians clutching their pearls and saying "it's so sad what's happening in America with ICE kidnapping children off the street who aren't white and imprisoning them" maybe get mad at the fact that we manufacture the ICE armored vehicles

Great book though, I do highly recommend it and the sequel!

I’m so sorry to tell you that having read the book doesn’t help with the weekly episode wait 😭

Curiosity Cracked Open a Rock on Mars And Revealed a Big Surprise A rock on Mars spilled a surprising yellow treasure after Curiosity accidentally cracked through its unremarkable exterior.

Cool!

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Good to know, I’m only on my 2nd viewing so faaaarrrrrr

Yes, who is more likely to regard the sacrifice of people as abhorrent than those who follow a religion centered on celebrating the sacrifice of a person?

Also cold showers??? Just remove even more pleasure from your life that should help 🙄

This makes me so mad. Eye doctors are not dietitian experts! Intermittent fasting is not healthier!! Not everyone can/should/enjoys lifting!! *shakes fists dramatically*

I don’t have one. I would love to buy one but I’ve been hesitant because of the data privacy concerns - they map your home and that data can be accessed by the company and vulnerable to being hacked/read. I’m not an expert so happy to be corrected but that’s what I’ve read.

Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less." She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards. They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it. This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil. The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option. "We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents. "We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

To the back! was my immediate answer and then I second guessed myself and went to check my bookshelf but yes it is to the back for meee.

Absolutely cannot wait to bust down the doors for a drink made by a company whose unionized workers are on strike in a store that doesn’t want to hire minorities anymore.

Stalking a 19-year-old David Hogg, who had just survived a school shooting, berating him, calling him names, and accusing him of being a liar isn't "toxic politics." It's being a crude, unhinged sociopath.

Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Aww thanks Rowan! I know I’m not contributing much beyond my kudos and likes but written posts don’t come easily to me. I appreciate everyone who keeps our fandom alive on Bluesky and also appreciate this shout-out to the cryptids ❤️

People moan about AI taking people’s jobs, so interact and keep demand high for in person jobs

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

He is a computer safety researcher.

Sad to have to post this - Further pictures from Christine Wada’s panel are being circulated, despite my clear request they not be. I do not have permission sharing these, and spreading them not only damages my reputation but also any chance of future events and guests sharing exclusive material.

Now that they have actually litigated the legality of throwing sandwiches, we need someone to take one for the team and chuck a burger at someone so we can finally answer the question that has divided Western society for generations

The Supreme Court of Canada Wants You to Call 911 if Someone Is Overdosing | The Tyee Police can’t arrest a person for drug possession if they call for help and stick around, a new ruling finds.

Saving a life is more important than policing small amounts of drug use, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled last month.

An impressive list, girls, but I know we can do better

History is clear. If you have to trap your people, your system is already breaking. #intersex #lgbtq #humanrights
