Since Rebel Media is doing what it does again here is a clip from a former correspondent who explained how the outlet spreads fake news They’re not new to this they’re true to this

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Time for another digital security PSA with guitar … here’s “All the Small Things” but it’s about scrubbing metadata from your photos before you post them 🤘

This is reportedly making the lines at the polls even longer in Carleton, because they have to fold this giant ballot a special way. Truly stupid tactic, @longestballot.bsky.social. Especially in a riding that could have a significant impact on our country’s future. You’ve made it harder to vote.

Feels like important context to remind people Ezra Levant has filled in as guest host on InfoWars when Alex Jones is away

"Microsoft powers genocide." "All they care about is money. AI and work, work, work." "It hurts my conscience to know that the products [..] I work on are enabling the Israeli military to accelerate its project of ethnic cleansing." #USA #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Genocide #EthnicCleansing

Build Canada is not a Canadian DOGE, it’s just supported by a load of tech executives who are on the record as saying Canada needs a DOGE.

This man deserves a medal.

Don’t be a Megan.

When you have to watch the results of a PR stunt for a billionaire that leverages women to prop up the billionaire’s space tourism ambitions, it’s nice to have @acollierastro.bsky.social make you feel connected to why it sucks.

A reminder while most everything in Canada is closed today the advanced polls are open today to Monday. If you want to feel like you did something productive on this sunny day, not a bad option.

It’s toxic because these people want to deter all of us from participating in our democracy I’ve had people try to shut me up with SLAPP lawsuits and even try to have me thrown in jail for doing journalism Literally can’t think of anything more important I could doing with my life than journalism

Autism Speaks joins the Autistic Self Advocacy Network in condemning RFK Jr.'s dangerous disinformation. This is an extraordinary unification, brought about by an extraordinary threat.

In case it isn't clear to everyone, this is a perfect illustration of the importance of SOLIDARITY. All those folks behind the first block need to move UP! If one group isn't free then none of us are free. We're stronger together!

Here’s “Basket Case” except it’s about why you shouldn’t use Face ID or a thumbprint to unlock your phone

Here's part 2 of this week's Better Offline. I walk through how OpenAI has become a systemic risk, one that may destroy CoreWeave, cost NVIDIA and Oracle billions, and break the back of an ailing tech industry. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... Linktr.ee/betteroffline

carney is gaslighting canadians every time he suggests carbon capture is the solution to oil and gas emissions. in french he literally said we’d increase oil production but it was fine because of carbon capture. it’s pure climate denial.

• Meta asked Microsoft, Amazon and others to pay for their expensive AI bullshit • Damn this bullshit is expensive • *Nobody* wants to pay for this bullshit

let’s look back at what has happened so far Cory Booker giving a 25 hour speech: everyone loved it, raised his profile Van Hollen flies to El Salvador and meets Abrego Garcia: everyone loved it, raised his profile Schumer publicly caved: everyone hated that just a general note to Dems

this was sadly predictable, and a shooting liberals need to reckon with not just as a symbol of a lack of gun control but as a product of the police state

Pierre Poilievre admitting in the debate that he's going to suspend the Charter of Rights and Freedoms so he can defend the charter rights of the people he deems to be worthy should terrify everyone. Seeing what's happening in the US with ICE he wants the same thing in Canada

Attacking the rights of a marginalised group isn’t a win for feminism. Demanding that women be defined by our biology isn't a win for feminism. The people driving this are not acting in the interests of women. They're taking us all backwards and ushering in the far right.

I have three bottles of champagne set aside. One for her, one for the oligarch, and one for the dictator. And I intend to live to drink all three.

This is my experience as well. In general, we look for things we need locally first instead of ordering online.

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one. Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

Capitalism is so deadly, because it centres your worth as a human around your contribution, thus if you are incapable of meeting a minimum threshold of productivity, you are worthless and disposable. This is such dangerous thinking for all of us because none of us are immune to becoming disabled.

While results from the Madison, Wisconsin $500/mo basic income pilot aren’t finalized, preliminary findings show a higher rate of families receiving payments were employed full-time halfway through the program, at the end of the year and six months later than families in the program’s control group.

Anyone who voted for Ford and is also surprised by this has not been paying attention.

(1,2) America is broken. My daughter Jaime was murdered in the Parkland school shooting. Many of her friends who were lucky enough to survive that shooting went on to attend FSU. Incredibly, some of them were just a part of their 2nd school shooting and some of were in the student union today.

New from 404 Media: we've obtained a leak from inside Palantir describing Palantir's plan to help ICE find people to deport. Includes peoples' location. Palantir is expecting a backlash, preparing comments for employees to tell their family. Says ICE "mature partner" www.404media.co/leaked-palan...

CNN reporting there is a suspect in custody now.

Carney definitely needs to do better on this.

This traffic cam is at the “main” entrance of the school. The student union is to the left down the stairs. This is where the shooter was reported to be. That’s a busy area with students and staff.

🚨 ACTIVE SHOOTER ALERT – FSU CAMPUS Active shooter at Florida State University. All students/staff must shelter in place. Stay in an interior room, away from windows/walls, and know your exits.My niece is a freshman—just texted. FBI is on scene, sirens and helicopters still overhead. #Florida #FSU
