From Prince to Michael Jackson: why are the most controversial documentaries getting canned?

What did I just waste the past 30 minutes doing? Figuring out the chronological timeline of all the #StarWars movies and TV shows and determining what I’ve already watched (17/24 items on the list) and what I still need to watch (7 shows; I have seen all the movies).

Have you ever had a crush on someone mainly or solely because of their voice?

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

one thing that became especially clear to me while working at the cemetery is that the moment people stopped being able to remember polio and smallpox and getting e.coli from unregulated slaughterhouses within their lifetime, they immediately started disregarding the seriousness of them

Being the Duke of Whatsit or the Earl of Thingy, before the 20th century, didn’t save you from the possibility of an early death. Aside from communicable diseases, frequent causes of death include falling off one’s yacht or horse, and hunting accidents #genealogy #history

I am struck again and again by this: The problems we face are huge. But we have solutions. We know just what to do. We just ... aren't. True for climate change. True for covid.

I love Mary Steenburgen. She makes any show she’s in better.

I am excited that the @translink.ca Board and @mayorscouncil.bsky.social both unanimously ratified a new Investment plan today. It's not the perfect plan, and every compromise in it reflects the challenges of the negotiations that occurred between the Mayors & the Provincial Government... 1/n

After having seen close up how a Canadian election process works, I will deliver a roundhouse kick to the groin to anyone who tries to suggest that our elections are rigged or corrupt in any way. The process has multiple layers of oversight. You can trust that the results are what they really are.

Unbelievably, the bots are still going on about Mark Carney not being elected. I guess they haven’t been rewritten yet.

To celebrate my second anniversary here on Bluesky, I've made a donation to Trans Lifeline, because, right from the start, Bluesky wouldn't be Bluesky without its trans folks. translifeline.org

Yesterday I worked the election from 6:00 am to 10:30 pm. Today, despite being mentally and physically exhausted, I have to study all day and write a test in the evening. I plan to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING on Wednesday.
