Didn't think we needed Apple TV until I started watching Silo and Severance. Not a huge selection yet, but the ones I found are real bangers! Thinking of trying out Slow Horses next. They're all consistently highly-rated, too. Rotten Tomatoe scores close to 100% with extremely high IMDb scores (8+).

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Vision Zero has failed because our leaders refuse to take even the smallest steps to prioritize safety over traffic flow. Banning right turn on red in cities could be done for free and would save countless lives Repealing the 85th percentile rule. Again, costs $0, save countless lives #safestreets

95 year old Oscar-winning "tough guy" actor Gene Hackman, his classical pianist wife, 63 year old Betsy Arakawa, and their dog have all been found dead in their home in Santa Fe. They said that they don't believe foul play was a factor... but I'm sure that doesn't include suicide? And the dog, too?

How absolutely infuriating! The Calgary Board of Education has hired scabs to fill the roles of the 800 custodial workers who started striking today, and they started this response on Thursday, after receiving the 72 hour strike notice on Wednesday! Their response to hire scab workers was immediate.

How many of us have given notice at a job and just skated through the last few weeks/months. Prime Minister Trudeau is not only working harder, but he’s working better, without the shrill #skinnytrump #Sloganboy #PP lying and nattering in the background. #cdnpoli

Germany’s incoming leader just sounded the alarm: Trump & Musk are pushing Europe toward independence from the U.S., fearing America is now a threat, not an ally. Trump isn’t just isolating America, he’s driving Europe into a new geopolitical reality where the U.S. is seen as dangerously unreliable.

@cbcradiocanada.bsky.social has been interviewing Ontario political candidates for the upcoming election. Not once has a OPC candidate participated. The OPC pretend they are there for Ontarians, but they give us no answers, no doctors, no school resources, no houses. Vote for someone who cares.

Since Trump made false claims about Ukraine being a dictatorship and Russia being a democracy, lots of idiots in the US have parroted it. Ukraine skipped ONE election because their constitution says they don't hold elections during wartime, like the UK. True dictatorships hold simulacrum elections.

Mika Aaltola from Finland: "The United States has given us three weeks to agree on terms for Ukraine's surrender. If we don't, the United States will withdraw from Europe. Trump prioritizes Russia’s security concerns now and in the future. Let them own their mess. We have three weeks to grow up."

The US government requires an additional $175 billion to realize their dream of turning their country into a police state with a million more people incarcerated. The US is already home to the largest prison population in the world. The private prison system is ecstatic for these human commodities.

The Republican budget includes cutting $2 trillion from "mandatory" Federal spending which covers programs like Medicare, Medicaid and food benefits known as SNAP, while giving $4.5 trillion in tax breaks to ultra-wealthy billionaires and corporations, while raising the debt ceiling by $4 trillion.

Did you know there are no Canadian credit cards? Visa, MasterCard, and American Express are all owned by US companies who make billions from interest and get a hidden fee every time we buy anything. If you want to reduce $ going out of Canada, consider using your Canadian bank's debit card and cash.

Listening to the latest episode of @thewaroncars.bsky.social and I appreciated @brooklynspoke.bsky.social pointing out that truck commercials are always in the dessert/wilderness, because showing giant trucks in an urban environment or mall parking lot would highlight just how ridiculous they are

Under executive order by Trump, the US National Park Service has removed the T from LGBT and erased trans people from the "LGB civil rights" movement which they now call "lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB)". Black Trans women were essential to Stonewall, and are being erased. www.pbs.org/newshour/cla...

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+". The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history. This pride, we riot.
