Wow, we are now being officially advised against travel to the USA by the Canadian Association of University Teachers. I never thought I'd see the day. ☹️ #AcademicChatter

4Chan was hacked, its source code was leaked, admin emails were leaked, AND a lot of registered users used their real names and .edu email addresses. Lotta CHUDs getting exposed to sunlight today.

A sister's search: What it's like to have a loved one on the street battling addiction

In the melee, you may have missed it: Rubio is telling State employees to snitch on colleagues for "anti-Christian bias." Said "bias" is defined as not agreeing that right-wing Christians are superior and get to dictate the choices of everyone else. www.salon.com/2025/04/15/m...

Canada, remember this when far right politicians like Poilievre and his CPC “promise” to not undermine abortion rights if they win.

AOC: I was watching earlier today on TV, someone was saying, “Why are AOC and Bernie going to Idaho?” I’ll give you one simple answer: It’s because you matter

Wab Kinew is repatriating 500 MW of hydro from expiring US deals - 50 MW for Nunavut, the rest to power Canadian projects and to fight the US. He’s standing up for sovereignty, energy security, and Indigenous partnerships. Wab isn’t just good for Manitoba, he’s awesome for all of Canada.

Gonna do every newspaper in America a favor and write their headline. It reads: TRUMP DISCUSSES FOREIGN CONCENTRATION CAMPS FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS WITH BUKELE There you go. Don't even need to credit me.

MUST WATCH: Mike Johnson says able-bodied young men “should never be on Medicaid.” So let’s get this straight—You crash the economy, refuse to raise wages, let rent and groceries skyrocket… Then blame poor working men for needing healthcare? This is what class warfare looks like.

Ancient and elusive, the Kunlun #Mountains rise along the edge of the #Tibetan Plateau, once known as the gateway to immortals. But even these timeless peaks aren't untouched. As glaciers retreat under a warming climate, the highlands of Pamir Plateau begin to change forever.

This putt reminds me of how much Andre Agassi hated tennis

Yikes, anybody else think the Oval Office looks more like a Hoarder’s Estate sale now?

Publishing some photo essays on my newsletter to encourage tourism to Syria (for those outside the country, please do visit!). This one a photo tour of the Aleppo citadel www.aymennaltamimi.com/p/photo-essa...

While commercial FM stations still exist, a lot of them are driven by algorithms and corporate perceptions of listening habits. But, with independent internet radio stations, there’s space for eccentricity. www.pastemagazine.com/music/scene-...

Canada has made some stupid decisions, but we denied private schools their own tuition vouchers, and we're about to take charitable status away from religious organizations. 🔥

Remind Me (1982) Patrice Rushen

“What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow,' is out this Friday on Nonesuch Records! To celebrate, Justin Robinson and I are sharing a new tune from the album each day this week, along with a video captured by Alexei Mejouev at the recording.

Bukele to Trump: "In fact Mr President, you have 350 million people to liberate. But to liberate 350 million people you have to imprison some."

46 YEARS AGO TODAY on April 14, 1979, "What a Fool Believes" by The Doobie Brothers reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Ah the kind of Making America Great again where the president of El Salvador wipes his ass with the flag and the constitution in the Oval Office, got it

🇺🇸 Pastor Mark Burns, Trump’s spiritual advisor, says supporting Ukraine is now “America First.” He once opposed U.S. aid—until visiting Kyiv, Bucha, and seeing the horrors firsthand. "Once you see the atrocities at the hands of the Russians, politics goes out the window."

This is a bit like how the Japanese joined the Nazi side of World War Two but after reading some of Germany's antisemitic propaganda figured that the Jews were formidable allies and tried to get them on their side by issuing visas

A terrible thing to think about: if extraterrestrial intelligence *doesn't* exist, then we took the only chance that will ever occur across all existence—the chance at life; to create as we were created—and, out of greed, ruined it. academic.oup.com/aristotelian...

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social. The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

The number of dead has risen to 34 and over 100 injured from Russia’s Palm Sunday terrorist attack in Ukraine.

On the 50th anniversary of the "bus massacre" that sparked Lebanon's 15-year civil war, I tried to understand what happened that day and why. Lebanon has never fully grappled with the war’s legacy, and in many ways it has never fully recovered. apnews.com/article/leba...

Happy Day of Worship.

Heartbreaking footage from Sumy. The number of injured has increased to 83 already of which 7 are children, Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko said.

Central Sumy is in flames. Cars burning. Bodies on the streets. A Russian missile hit a trolleybus — on Palm Sunday. Let that sink in. This isn’t war. It’s deliberate, cold-blooded terror.

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

The Republican-controlled House on Thursday voted for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act — a bill that voting rights groups have repeatedly warned would make it harder for millions of Americans, including married women, to vote. (via @19thnews.org)

I enjoy election poll modelling because everyone once and a while you punch in someone's numbers and you just get crazy-pants electoral geography

What a terrible day to have eyes and ears
