Another great video by @forrestvalkai.bsky.social youtu.be/nVQplt7Chos?... I feel that learning what he explains in this video allows us to appreciate the diversity that is part of humanity. As he says, this is just part of the picture but still much more than I had imagined.

Even if the Canadian team hadn't won today I still would have said I am Canadian and I have no desire to be a member of the country that appointed the monarchs of central north America. F trump and his appointed president the muskrat.

Despite having a terrible new president and Trump, the US players and the crowd members who support them appear to have pride in the USA. It is an interesting thing that I still don't understand.

Must-watch from @hancockzb.bsky.social on how Trump and Musk's incel clown posse are destroying research and higher ed: youtu.be/GagHHh1KenU?...

Great job by Ruben (@rubenbolling.bsky.social).

Any politician who seriously cares about the future of this country (at least, a future which involves democracy) should be pushing for literacy programs at all age levels. Low literacy and anti-intellectualism are gasoline on the fire of fascism. Source: National Literacy Institute

@chesh.bsky.social a friend forwarded this to me just before I saw it here. My friend mentioned Timmy's is listed as Canadian so some of it might be old data.

Trump still hasn't figured out that political asylum claims and insane asylums are different things

I probably should have told yall but I was doing this today - You should check it out if you're interested in which brands around you are american or not with incoming tariffs www.youtube.com/live/MED8yQm...

Alright SO - some minor thoughts 1. elon's starlink deal with ontario needs to be cancelled/ended/made useless asap 2. twitter needs to be banned in canada 3. elon should be labeled a terrorist in canada and have his citizenship revoked thank you for coming to my ted talk

NEW: With Trump back in office, pro-democracy news is more important than ever. That's why, starting tomorrow, Democracy Docket is expanding our coverage to report on lawsuits filed to hold the Trump administration accountable. Subscribe now for free: newsletters.democracydocket.com/bluesky

This would be funny as hell, if it weren’t so fucking scary and sad.

On the day of a ceasefire deal, I want to share with you the story of a trailblazing Palestinian-American journalist. She was shot dead in 2022, almost certainly by the IDF, as she reported in the West Bank. My newsroom wouldn’t publish the story. Here it is: open.substack.com/pub/rachelgi...

It's striking to see the impressive speed and unity with which our government can ban an app where the poors are talking, considering how woefully ineffective they've been at stopping school shootings, slowing climate change, and listening to demands to stop funding a genocide.

Bent Hovind (no relation) is my cohost and good friend. A few days ago his dog Carmen had to go to the vet. It turned out that she needed some work done under anesthesia, and we are now waiting on the results from cytology work. The bill is considerable, and your is appreciated. gofund.me/392699a8

Maybe we shouldn’t just be raising the minimum wage, we should be establishing maximum wage ratios between executives and their employees too.

Homeboy stopped the wrong lady (H/T @agirlhasnopres.bsky.social )

This is horrifying. Matt Walsh is such a fucking loser

Imagine if the press cared half a much about the ongoing genocide in Gaza as they do about Hunter Biden being pardoned.

@dapper-dinosaur.bsky.social Did Bent make this about Kent?
