As you listen to the hatred, propaganda coming out of the Poilievre camp about the PM’s cabinet picks, remember. Each one of those Ministers WON their seat. Something Poilievre FAILED at. So who is more qualified? #cdnpoli

TALK POLITICS... IT'S THE POLITE THING TO DO

Ottawa lawyer James Bowie convicted of harassment, extortion and death threats: “Cooper told court Bowie wanted [woman who accused Bowie of sexual misconduct] dead, threatened to kill her twice in the presence of another woman, tried to get that other woman to obtain a gun for him ‘to end’ [her]”

Scientist loses their grant funding because they briefly mentioned the word "hesitancy" in their grant.

"Many international travelers concerned about Trump’s authoritarianism have already canceled trips to the United States," writes former US labor secretary and Guardian US columnist Robert Reich.

Des vols annulés à destination des USA ! #Elbowsup #NEVER51

Went out for a stroll with my wife to enjoy the sunshine. This is "Sydenham Falls" around the corner from our house. Spring melt really boosts the volume. #spring #ExploreYourNeighbourhood

For those folks who have been waiting to climb the pole and ring the “constitutional crisis” bell, it would appear we have arrived. Neither Judge Sorokin nor Judge Boasberg believed that he was signing a meaningless order, and both judges demanded compliance that never came.

I remember it being unpleasant & a lot less fudge-y.

The funniest political picture I've seen in ages. University of Alberta law students protesting Danielle Smith, Alberta Premier and Trump sycophant, to her face. Amazing.

“There are currently four people remaining over there to do the work of 15 people. The danger to the national airspace can’t be understated." "This is a very real threat to the American flying public.” EXCLUSIVE ⤵️

Fun and games in the snow this afternoon. I cut the corner far too tightly and slid off the road. A tow truck and a few minutes of winching and I was back on the road. No injuries, no damage to the car. 😜

We just want to be left alone.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Just saw this on Reddit and had to share: "Be the geezer you want to see in the world." Amen.

Hmph. I guess if I'm going to have an account, I have to post. Lol So, hi. Lol

waiting to see if that Cybertruck will be spun as a terrorist attack or a design innovation

Ooof, a new year. Unfortunately, I really don't see a lot improving this year. Standing up to the oligarchs appears to be fizzling out, as the ruling class would have it, Trump 2.0 The Return® comes into play in three weeks and Canada is probably going to wind up PP as our Prime Minister. Sigh.

If you're your own worst enemy you just need to get out more. There are wonderful potential nemeses EVERYWHERE

Occasional reminder that Elon Musk runs a Tesla plant in California that has intentionally targeted black employees for the most egregious racism and abuse as we've seen in corporate America in a very long time. (Musk is now busy organizing Trump's government.)

A beautiful picture in a difficult and painful time. Beautiful and sad. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦💙💛🙏

This is pretty funny. If you touch the flying icon it takes you to the skeet. @indyfromspace.bsky.social will like this is would wager.

LOL. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Honestly the way “the media” is tut-tutting about Bluesky must mean everyone on here is doing something right.

Remember, it’s okay for radio, cable, local news, newspapers, podcasts, youtube, facebook, and twitter to be right wing echo chambers. But IT IS NOT OKAY for a new app that’s starting to gain traction to be a left wing echo chamber. NO NO NO NOT FAIR! 😠 😭

Like clockwork

It’s nice to know that in the United States a rapist still can’t become Attorney General. Just president.

It's bigotry, plain and simple.

Politico is reporting Trump will name Dr. Ladapo of Florida to a senior spot, likely Surgeon General or Assistant HHS. This would be a horrifying pick for trans people. He's responsible for Florida's adult trans ban, and works with SEGM/Anti-trans global movement. He's also an ardent anti-vaxxer.

It's funny, but my brain attaches pathetically c whining noises to the phrase "Why Bluesky?" Listen, if you have to ask, you're not gonna understand.

Flashback post.

I AM DECEASED.
