i have zero interest in most modern low budget shlock because it’s doing this self conscious “haha so bad it’s good just like the 80s!” thing. but you can’t produce that intellectually. you need to be trying to make a normal movie and have it come out wrong because you’re a crazy person

In case anyone needed a reminder, ✨ Libraries are for everyone ✨ Visibility and symbols of inclusion matter ✨ Neutrality is not an option in times of injustice ♥️📚

One of the incredible things about @garthmullins.bsky.social and @crackdownpod.bsky.social is their ability to tell a unique, personal story in a way that someone like me, with *no* firsthand experience, can understand it as universal. www.crackdownpod.com/episodes/epi...

DON'T TALK TO THE POLICE also did you notice that Canada is resisting the authoritarian threat of annexation by [checks reality] doing what the authoritarian regime demanded and also becoming an authoritatian police state in the process, but Canadianly GOOD JOB EVERYONE

Looks like we've got a cure for sickle cell. www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

Way too many people On Here are using the r slur and it's pissing me off. It doesn't make you edgy. It doesn't make you cool. It makes you a shitty person. Shit posting doesn't include slurs. If you use slurs, I will block you. Slurs hurt people.

~Remember that the carbon tax added 17 cents a litre to gas and watch to see if gas drops in price. In AB when a tax was dropped, prices decreased for a few days and then went back to previous prices. It's unlikely that prices will drop, and there won't be a rebate. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

If you’re interested in my take on current Canada-U.S. relations, you can read my latest novel about a more promising future where both countries no longer exist 😝

GOOD PRESS In a quiet residential pocket just north of Caledonia & Eglinton, is a made-in-Toronto music secret: a sprawling family-run vinyl pressing shop. Take a peak inside Microforum, exclusively in the pages of the latest issue of WEP. www.westendphoenix.com/subscription...

The wonder of Voyager: This is the most beautiful thread I’ve read in a long time.

More card stickers, you say? Why should #yegtransit arc cards get all of the fun? These are rough sketches of some potential card stickers, and this time we are including libraries, both EPL and CPL! All cards deserve to be flocked by magpies I say.

There are no aluminum rolling mills in Canada; if you buy canned beer, it comes in cans made in the USA or here with aluminum that came across the border. For the environment, for the lack of BPA liner, and for the country, we should return to returnable bottles.

NEW: HOUSE MINORITY LEADER HAKEEM JEFFRIES statement on the destruction of Alderaan — "Alderaan was a planet. I assume there were bad people living on it. The Emperor should share his evidence with us, but until then I’ll take his word for it. We will continue monitoring this situation closely."

A reminder that cities aren't loud, cars are loud.

Let's be really really clear. The Trump admin chose a Palestinian activist as the target of its first lawless political detention precisely BECAUSE they believe that will split the opposition. If you shrug at the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil, or worse, cheer it on, you're following Trump's script.

I think publicly humiliating cops by making them protect cyberteucks might not be a terrible idea.

It should terrify everyone that a green card holder was black bagged and disappeared to Louisiana simply for having opinions this administration dislikes. They're building the prisons and camps to do it to citizens. The time to stand up to this is now.

“Trying to appeal to a voter who will congratulate you for scolding a member of your own party for peacefully protesting fascism is a losing game because that voter does not exist.”

Armed government agents went to the home of a lawful resident of the United States without a warrant and arrested him over the content of his speech. This is a five-alarm fire for civil liberties.

On this week's Progress Report podcast, Dr. Wing Li from Support Our Students and Chris Gallaway from Friends of Medicare join Jim and Jeremy to break down Alberta's 2025 budget

AFRICAN GAZE was an exhibition showcasing the weird and wonderful art form that is the Ghanaian movie poster. On Ghana’s Independence Day, here are some of the best... 1/25 - Mrs Doubtfire

Professor X: Hold, old friend. If you wish to take this military base hostage, you first must kill these five fifteen year olds I found. Magneto: for fuck’s sake, Charles.

everyday i wake up and fall out of bed and hit my head on the corner of the nightstand. it's stained with blood now, due to my numerous head wounds that have begun to fester. then, i eat breakfast and head to my job at the New York Times

We're on the cusp of a quantum leap very much approaching in practical terms "the cure for cancer," and the official position of the US government will be you can't have it because a sex pest grifter thinks the vibes are bad.

"preserving the facade": the politics of contemporary British Columbia

The two bubbles I can’t wait to burst are: - adding AI to everything - CCS being seen as a viable strategy

“Will these new centres be run as part of our public health care system? Our corrections system? By a private operator? What will the procurement processes be? Who will build them? Own them? Work in them? What programming will be offered? These are fundamental questions. Albertans deserve answers.”

It is hard to explain to folks who don't struggle with executive dysfunction just how amazing it is to be able to schedule an appointment, make a phone call, or fill out necessary paperwork. These tasks are the bane of my existence and they have such potentially severe repercussions when I can't.

James Webb Satellite took a fantastic shot of the Planet Saturn with it's Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). This is just an Amazing shot that shows the planet and the rings in brilliant detail.

With another set of news headlines about political elites using “””Roman salutes””” I just want to note that the Nazi salute means “I want to murder your family” and the n-word means “I want to lynch you.” That’s what they mean, they make me righteously angry, and I won’t let anybody minimize them.

How am I just learning that Americans individually pay to maintain sidewalks?

Let me take this format for a spin

This is great.

The Canadian establishment that lost its mind over a protest passing by Mount Sinai hospital has been entirely quiet over a Canadian company selling Nazi T-Shirts for the English world's most famous, out Nazi. I wrote about this and asked the question: why? noraloreto.substack.com/p/instrument...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.
