Freedom and democracy are always worth fighting for. Slava Ukraini.

Sure does look like it, don't it?

@peterramsden.bsky.social welcome!

With another set of news headlines about political elites using “””Roman salutes””” I just want to note that the Nazi salute means “I want to murder your family” and the n-word means “I want to lynch you.” That’s what they mean, they make me righteously angry, and I won’t let anybody minimize them.

"You must write about personal liberty or you lose your job" is a hell of a statement.

If someone gives me a couple hundo mills, I'll run a company 100% with AI and let's just see where this goes!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

For three years, the people of Ukraine have fought with extraordinary courage in the face of Russia’s brutal and unjustified invasion. They alone have the right to determine what is best for their long-term security. Canada stands with Ukraine. Slava Ukraini!

🇨🇦 ONTARIO VOTES FEBRUARY 27. YES, ON THURSDAY. 44% VOTED IN 2022. PLEASE VOTE STRATEGICALLY. www.elections.on.ca/en/voting-in...

Watching John Oliver and I gotta say, the part on conservatives complaining about being censored is great. Conservatives are censored the same way I censor my dog by making her shit in the yard instead of on the couch.

Kevin O'Leary to @ianhanomansing.bsky.social on Cross Country Checkup, rough quote: "The Canadian dollar has dropped 40% against the US dollar under Trudeau." Fact check: the CAD has dropped 34% from the 2011 peak, but just 4% of that drop happened under Trudeau. The big drop happened under Harper.

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

All we needed was our driver's license. Go!

Nailed it. Based on John Trumbull's 'Declaration of Independence', the five-man drafting committee of the Declaration of Independence presenting their work to the Congress. h/t @stillwellgray.ca en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declara...

If Ukraine makes a bad deal under duress and reneges a few years down the line, well, it's just returning the favour. They already paid the price when they gave up nukes. #GloryToUkraine

The NYTimes apparently didn’t even consider Bannon’s Nazi salute at CPAC to be newsworthy until the far-right French politicians tried to distance themselves from it. And even then, the headline is “Bannon Salute, Echoing Musk, Draws Criticism from French Right”.

~ MEDIA RELEASE: HSAA Calls for Immediate End to ASI and Private Surgical Facilities Amid Massive Overcharging Scandal  "This is an outright betrayal of Albertans," said HSAA President Mike Parker. hsaa.ca/post/hsaa-ca...

#teslatakedown I made some protest art.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

We need more than ever to make this country a safe place for all queer folx. That starts by ensuring everyone, including kids, has access to information. There aren't suddenly more trans kids; with well-informed and accepting adults around, there are more VISIBLE trans kids.

Canada-Russia hockey final tonight, just like old times.

Of all the fucking regulations to fight, if you pick this one, you’re a goddamn animal.

Finnish EPPGroup MEP, european parliament Foreign Affairs committee member and EPP EUDS coordinator Mika Aaltola: "The United States has given us three weeks to agree on terms for Ukraine's surrender. If we don't, the United States will withdraw from Europe." (original in Finnish) 1/2

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

Correct. Thank you Charlie.

Oh damn Prime actually published their failed chatgpt prompt in the description

@juliusgoat.bsky.social

With RFK in the mix, I feel it is time to pass this around once again. :( #ProudBlue

True.

This shit doesn’t happen in France and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far once and they cut all their heads off and now, when those in power fuck workers over, the French stop working. Don’t forget your real power Americans. They don’t let you have unions for a reason.

Anyone have ideas on how to reach the newer voters in Ontario? Voter apathy is the biggest enemy, I don't even care HOW they vote at this point. Are they tiktokking?

Apple Intelligence (their AI) is pretty yawn. But you know what, I’d buy a new Mac in a heartbeat if you could say “Siri, play this movie on the TV” and it would automatically do the 15 steps required for my mom when I’m not there to help. Instead, it writes shitty corporatese email and steals art.
