New article! NEW ARTICLE!!! Let's talk about the ways that plagiarists and AI are trying to automate sociopathy and why copyright might actually be a powerful tool to fuck with 'em. And, how do we make a world where even copyright is no longer necessary? docseuss.medium.com/copyright-ru...

“Many voters that used widely publicized national polls as a guide chose the Liberals instead, contributing to NDP losses and Conservative wins.” York University's Dennis Pilon on “strategic voting” and our single-member plurality voting system:

I recently spoke about how free, expanded, and accessible public transit is both a winning social and climate justice solution that (if done right) will leave no one behind on the Pullback Podcast! Thank you to Kyla and Kristen for hosting us! www.pullback.org/episode-note...

Tell me more about how it's not our capitalist system & all its incentives that have created the climate crisis. Tell me more about how we can consume our way out of this. Tell me more about how businesses will lead a green transition & we should empower them 🙄 www.carbonbrief.org/two-thirds-o...

I am so tired of the argument that we should focus on climate change before we address systemic oppression and human rights. White supremacist, myopic, and un-strategic. The people who have parroted this for decades need to sit down, listen, and follow those doing the real work of systems-change.

This is not war btwn two states, or just about Modi. India is occupying Kashmir. There is no evidence that Pakistan was behind Pahalgam, but Indian imperial expansionism and Islamophobia drives this jingoism. Most impacted regions are lands of struggle - partioned Panjab & esp Kashmir. Free Kashmir

As an anthropologist, if the only thing I ever did all day was remind people that before the privatization and commodification of land humans had way more free time and peace of mind, it would still not do a dent in how deep this myth has burrowed into people's colonized minds like a parasite

Not quite sure Canada's elxn is as stunning of a right wing loss as many are making it out to be. Conservatives won huge % of popular vote incl significant inroads in certain immigrant communities. And Libs didn't even "campaign left, govern right", they campaigned right esp on economic policies.

To paraphrase a classic Liberal line: Pipelines if necessary, but not necessarily pipelines. This could be a strategic feint (to potential voters &-a-vis Trump annexation threat), but I'm old enough to remember when TMX was going to make so much money that "pipelines will pay for wind turbines"

Carney's cuts quietly starting. Indigenous environmental researchers among the scientists harmed. Miserly cuts to travel funding for scientists who VOLUNTEER hundreds of hours to benefit Canada and the world. Shameful conduct people expect from Poilievre. But Carney's actually a conservative. 🤷

Remember a couple months ago, the feds said they replaced a nearly $20 billion loan from banks with a gov loan to lower interest payments on Trans Mountain? Turns out, almost $15 billion of that new "loan" wasn't a loan at all and won't be paid back. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/09/n...

It's like people read about Hitler and the path to WWII but totally failed to absorb the part about appeasement and how it didn't work.

Crisis of democracy: "Strategic voting is the Liberals’ silver bullet. It compresses the entire election [...] into a single question: do you want the Conservatives to win? [...] it’s a clever flattening of democratic participation that erases everything that matters."

The Conservatives want Canada to become a dictatorship. This is project 2025 Canadian edition. Poilievre’s conservatives are fascists. We cannot allow them in power. Canada will be destroyed. cpcassets.conservative.ca/wp-content/u...

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

What I'm finding most frustrating about this #CanadianElection is that @jagmeetsingh.ca is bringing down great candidates who would be crucial to have in parliament. The @ndp.ca candidates that make it through are the ones with ground game strong enough to weather Singh's watered-down nonsense.

I’m devastated, but I’m also angry. I’m angry because this is an attack on press freedom. If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?

I think what politicians are offering as climate policies are tepid as fuck. We are avoiding the facts that industry operations, productions must change. And so must infrastructure but no one wants to spend that money or change their business models
