Journalist, gadfly, anarchist, petsitter. Petsitting pays the best. Bjork once called me cool. “The Lois Lane of Anonymous” according to some.

Ask Marie Antoinette how "I don't care about that" worked out, Donald

what I like to do in my free time is deeply invest in complicated and expensive smart home infrastructure only to have the extraction class abandon the platform because they're too lazy and cheap to spend some of their vast fortunes on quality control, software support, and customer service

Poilievre promised to stop after today....

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

Another good one from Ling. Good day to read it.

Trump’s ICE deported 3 American kids. One is 4 years old with stage four cancer.
Another’s mom is pregnant. No meds. No prenatal care. No due process. This ain’t “tough on immigration”—it’s sick.

Dear Canada, we Americans have no business lecturing you on elections, but I hope you learn from our mistake.

Dear Canada- Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever. ❤️ from your neighbors below, 🇺🇸 #MakeAmericaNormalAgain

The Resistance is going back on the road. Picton Monday 12 May in Picton (details soon) May 15 Kingston.

The #RSAC organizers have apparently asked journalists to refer to the show as "The RSAC Conference," which would makes us sound like complete pillocks in print. Got to love the editor of @theregister.com for his response. "No, any complaints complaints from them, tell them to email email me me."

They already have to be able to read, write, and speak English! Here's the DOT regulation 49 CFR 391.11. This is pure theatrics, right?? What am I missing that this EO purports to do, that isn't already the rule?

@threeeggomelette.bsky.social three eggs is The Way.

Esila Ayık's suspension and liberation has been refused. Those who made this desicion lack basic moral and honor values, have no connection with justice, and only serving dictatorship's biddings. They are basically trying to codnemn a young women to death. #3E #Endautogenocide #FreedomtoEsila

The journos at PressProgress have been working really hard to provide election coverage the last month. Below is a thread that tries to spotlight some of the highlights, though there's a lot more stories on PressProgress.ca!

Rest in peace to Alexis Herman, a powerful advocate for labor and women’s rights. She leaves behind a legacy of great change and words to live by: "I fought for civil rights, I fought for voting rights, I fought for women's rights in the '70s, but now it's your turn.”

Golden hour.

North Korea officially announcing that it has assisted militarily Russia citing Article 4 of the North Korea-Russia Treaty which states the they must assist in “a state of war” is interesting as Russia keeps claiming it is still a Special Military Operation.

Holy hell if y’all want faces from the attendees of the WeHo MAGA rally… Milkshake boy on the bird site has excellent footage.. 😂😂

Mass layoffs & product shortages are predicted to be coming soon to the US as the consequences of Trump's tariff policies begin to hit, layoffs likely to start in late June and continue until Trump is removed. Interest rates also expected to hike alongside an expected recession. #3E

It’s really really funny how American commentators treat removing a President like it’s this gigantic sacred breach of all that is holy when in plenty of more stable countries, they cycle through leaders all the time. If someone sucks, why should they stay in power?

Posted an hour ago on the CPC's Social media. Pretty dark ad. Timing? Less than 24 hours after that Vancouver attack. #elxn45 www.facebook.com/watch/?v=134...

The fact that Schumer hasn't been pushed out of Dem leadership yet speaks to the weakness of the party.

I had 18.75% interest on mine.

Carleton! You have an amazing opportunity to elect this incredible man. Bruce Fanjoy is genuine, compassionate, and truly cares about his community. At the doors, I felt change is happening in this riding. Please get out and vote for @brucefanjoy.bsky.social on Monday. #cdnpoli #Elxn2025

This is absolutely disgusting. #Postmedia is a scourge. We need new laws in this country. Because this is an absolute abuse. An American right wing hedge-fund owned propaganda operation, controls what 21 million Canadians see as “news”. #StopPoilievre #ElbowsUp #NeverEverTrustConservatives #Elxn2025

We also have butter tarts and Nanaimo bars. And poutine. Yeah, we rock.

Jean Chretien came out on a drizzly Saturday afternoon to support my local MP. It was great to have a chance to see him - he’s as sharp as ever!

I’m slowly getting to the FollowBacks. Thank you, so many good people here. Also a few nasty ones we kill off quickly.

In Minnesota, freedom is a birthright.

If you think institutions are biased against your viewpoint, dismantling tenure is not the right way to address that.

This Liberal candidate claims she supports ‘workers’. But labour leaders call her track record ‘disingenuous’. BC labour unions say Liberal candidate Stephanie McLean worked for an ‘anti-union’ law firm that is ‘widely vilified in the BC labour movement’
