Oh fuck off. It's bad enough AI is sucking the soul out of art, putting millions out of work, and super-charging misinformation. Now you're asking us to rip away that last veneer of human politeness, however performative? Fuck right off. Please and thank you.

Not only is Pierre Poilievre and his team using slogans constantly in an attempt to get votes they are adding emojis to them in emails to show how serious they are. Next up they will be using gifs.

Just got a phone call inviting me to the next Pierre Poilievre rally with a robo call voiced by none other than J. D. Vance's BFF Jamil Jivani. The number of worn out PP slogans used in the call tripled it in length. No, I will not be going.

Yesterday, Poilievre was posting about how the Canadian Pacific Railway might not even be able to be built today. Um, there’s a pretty good reason for that: the abuse and deaths of Chinese workers who built the railroad.

Academics in the US & Canada: reflect on leadership at your institutions. Has management been kowtowing to political and corporate demands? Does your Board of Directors hide its work? Have hires in admin outpaced hires in faculty & staff? Then you have a problem. #ElbowsUp #Gleichschaltung

Danielle Smith is on the Quisling 2025 tour with Ben Shapiro. He calls us a "silly little country that can be annexed like Puerto Rico." He says Canadians would welcome Trump like a "liberator." She is doing a fantastic job of sinking Poilievre's campaign. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/03/27/n...

To those who feel this way, you might not know if you are “vulnerable”. Many illnesses that could leave you more open to long term consequences can sneak by undetected UNTIL something pushes them over the edge and then BOOM!! Ask me how I know!

“Create a ruckus” = co-write a (not even particularly strident) op-ed for a student newspaper. Americans, you need to fight like hell, because they’re coming for everyone who dissents.

Just a reminder that the higher ed system in Canada is in total crisis and part of pur productivity problem comes from there. And that this approach isn't actually fixing anything. It needa to be accompanied by massive public investments.

In one week we have this & we have another Conservative/Shopify-adjacent org attacking the PM because his child is trans. This stuff has been present for the last years but the election will be a test for Canada. Will it backfire? 1/2

Hi youth of Canada. We won't build you housing and we've squeezed public services and education to the breaking point. As compensation, you will be forced to join the military.

This new work from @blakemurdoch.bsky.social is spot on. Denial of airborne transmission was the great crime (yes, crime) of the pandemic. It changed, and broke, everything healthydebate.ca/2025/03/topi...

Make no mistake, "you do you" Covid policies helped pave the way for Trump's victory They emboldened him to be more aggressive and openly fascist this time around You can't throw away entire groups of people & not see very real consequences The Spanish Flu pandemic helped pave the way for Hitler
