Welcome to the new Dark Ages.

aint no way we cut medicaid and housing assistance so jeff bezos could buy this shirt

21 civil servants resigned on Tuesday rather than help implement an array of changes to the federal government being pushed by President Trump, Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency. The resignations pared the unit by roughly a third.

The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council has been so overwhelmed by complaints about CBC #CrossCountryFuckUp with Ian Hanomansing, it has had to close the complaints process. @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops. More of this pointed ridicule, please.

CBC news had to turn all the live comments off on its Cross Country Check-up streams because Canadians would not stop complaining to @ianhanomansing.bsky.social about his topic choice. That’s when you know they really don’t care what Canadians think.

Hello, Telesat Lightspeed? 🍁📡🛰️

Climate scientists predicted that heatwaves would become so frequent that ecosystems would not have time to recover between heatwave events. That time is here, not in the nebulous future. My research shows it, others show it. We can slow down warming, save Life, and save us. #ClimateChange 🧪🌎

Got home from work and caught up on Ruby Dhalla being trounced from the Liberal leadership race by unanimous committee decision. Mr. David Cochrane @davidwcochrane.bsky.social, sir, that was some seriously quality television. Great interview.

The Ontario New Democratic Party has announced continued expansion & improvement to the GO Transit Network in their transportation plan. This plan includes an extension of the Kitchener Line or a new line to the City of Cambridge, providing service between the Cities of Guelph and Cambridge.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Prime suggesting I watch Canadian Bacon, a comedy about a disliked US president who vilifies Canada in order to stir up xenophobia (and leads to an ultimately ridiculous invasion) is a little too on the nose.

#PrivateEquity is buying up #healthcare in Canada. What is it? What has the US experience been? hint: alarming I’ll ask @armineyalnizyan.bsky.social, Matt Tracey & Henry Annan at @cdndrsformedicare.bsky.social Health Summit on March 8 👉 www.canadiandoctorsformedicare.ca/cdm_health_s... #cdnhealth

I suspect many of those complaining about unplowed streets are also the same people who have consistently voted for low municipal taxes

Families could pay hundreds more for groceries as new recycling costs balloon The Retail Council of Canada says Ontario’s blue-box recycling program will cost companies $740 million in 2026 to run, nearly four times what they paid before the program was privatized. www.thestar.com/business/maj...

Poilievre interview with Carney on pipelines where Carney "schools" Poilievre who very obviously does not understand. Carney - "Mr Poilievre, I'm trying to explain a little bit about how the economy works." #cdnpoli #peipoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPY_...

"Yes. Call Elon. Get him down here. No, I'll wait. I want him right here in front of me. And then there are going to be some words your mommy doesn't think you're old enough to hear."

Hard to see in the pic but it says “Elect humans who take public transit!”

A Trump State Department official, acting undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs Darren Beattie, has on a number of occasions called for the sterilization of “low-IQ trash”.

Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) announces that all schools will be closed tomorrow (Thursday, Feb 13). School buses, taxis and special education routes are cancelled. Extended Day Programs, Child Care Centres, and the Education Centre will be closed. www.wrdsb.ca/blog/2025/02...

Received a hospital memo from a department, complaining that they receive too many incomplete requisition forms. The occasional incomplete form could be blamed on the end user; if there are frequent form completion issues there's a problem with the 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨. Trim the fields. Build for speed.

Zero Covid was the correct approach, and still is

That our biggest newspaper chain is foreign owned was probably never a good idea. But as we face an erratic US president it becomes more urgent to ask: If Postmedia needed to choose between what’s good for its American owners and what’s good for Canada, what would they choose? How would we know?

Not even the best satire writer in the world could have come up with “Red, White, and Blueland”

BREAKING: “The single most comprehensive rezoning in the United States.” Cambridge Mass. Council just voted overwhelmingly to allow 6-storey multi-family housing city-wide. “Paris-style.” Congratulations.

Two studies published yesterday in Nature Climate Change find that Earth has effectively already warmed 1.5°C. Yes, this seems to be happening silently, but to be clear: over 1.5C of heating some places become uninhabitable and the risk of tipping points rises enormously. 1/n

SCOOP: We've learned at least three individuals closely associated with Palantir or its cofounder Peter Thiel were involved in an online recruiting effort for DOGE late last year. Step inside the recruitment effort that helped build Elon's DOGE army:

"Why are they so desperate to weaken or even destroy democracy? Mainly, because they know that our system of justice, a functioning government, an independent economic sector and a united people stand in the way of unearned wealth and privilege."

#USA: "We urge the US government to immediately resume funding of critical humanitarian and health aid, either through rescinding relevant orders freezing funding or expanding the current narrow humanitarian waiver to cover all necessary health and humanitarian programs." - @avrilbenoit.bsky.social

BREAKING: The NIH That's it. That's the skeet.

Well maybe you should stop covering up bird flu then you fucking muppet

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

Google did a study a decade or so ago where they gave two groups purchasing cards. One group got lots of oversight. The other group was allowed to self supervise. They spent waaaaaay more on oversight than they saved.
