Mum let Teenaged Me blast this in the car when we were driving around DC some time in the 90s, which is wild because she wasn't keen on a) swearing and b) this kind of music. But she was even less keen on censorship and making moody teenagers even more moody. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzFK...

New content on Reddit would plummet 98875000% if people a) used the search function b) only commented if they actually had helpful advice c) weren't so hungry for acceptance and community that they have to make sure that they aren't 'the only one' to have noticed a very normal or obvious thing

Moments after MPP Mamakwa was removed from the legislature: Reporter: "Can you explain just what precisely the Premier said that you're saying is untruthful?" Sol: "That he respects and honours the duty to consult. That's not the truth. The way [Bill 5] is written up speaks the opposite."

Looked up transit directions to an event in June and it's an 1h21min journey. Which is fine, since it's in the suburbs and I am not. But 51 of those minutes is walking, which is absurd.

Yesterday, at 87, my dad & former Ontario NDP leader Stephen Lewis, stood for an hour by the road in his old riding. As a Jewish elder, he stood against genocide embodying the values he has always championed. I am so proud to see him on the right side of history – as always. ❤️

Pastor of a Canadian mega church was charged criminal but charges were dropped or stayed. Now, victims are coming after him in a civil trial. Just looking at today's news, women are not safe at church, at the hospital, in sports, at home, etc. And they say #MeToo went too far, ffs.

I don’t understand the constant conversations I’m having with people who agree AI is highly dangerous but then they just toss up their hands and say “oh well it’s inevitable…it’s happening…it’s too late now.” That’s just…rolling over? I don’t get it.

Academia in 2025: For weeks I’ve been working through botched copy-edits of my monograph, outsourced by the publisher to a company I’d never heard of, until it finally dawned on me the terrible job might be AI. A quick search confirmed the company recently launched new AI software, which now means..
