I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

To all my US followers - Trump is a dictator. Plan your resistance accordingly.

Please, please stop believing the convoy folks are remotely patriotic. @maxfawcett.bsky.social lays it out: they love power, not their country. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/21/o...

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

Iron Sky (2012) is about a Nazi base on the Moon attacking Earth. A fun movie I have to rewatch to see now to feels with recent world events.

Tonight at Boston Gardens

I was told by a project manager at my engineering firm that my posts on LinkedIn that are critical of fossil fuels and corporate profits are putting my job at risk. Good times in Alberta.

Whenever people talk about the lack of strong leaders on the left, it's easy to simply chalk it up to our fetish for cannibalizing each other. But let's not forget that it's also because all the best ones were assassinated.

Team Canada wins in overtime, and l’ve never been delighted with a hockey win before, ever.

Canada is going to have to get over China bashing & find ways to build bridges to support trade, cooperation & work to protect our own national interests. The U.S. doesn't have our back & aggravating China won't be helpful #Canada #China #UnitedStates open.substack.com/pub/canadach...

A day after the premier accused AHS of "footdragging"on privatization of surgical services, AHS fires back with proof that MHCare was the one delaying -- taking money for nothing. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

Fictional villains: my motivation involves a complex backstory around lost love and a deep yearning to be understood Real life villains: being cruel makes me feel like a big strong man

the youth have zero imagination, it's called "gathering under an abandoned bridge in the woods in the dark with BLLs and someone's shitty bluetooth speaker" www.dazeddigital.com/life-culture...

Hey, look, here’s @chriswarcraft.bsky.social out there walking the walk www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/f...

Time for this fucker to face his very own Luigi moment.

I have been so excited since I found out this would be announced today! RIP any ability for me to concentrate: www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2...

“Allowing a project this size to proceed without an environmental assessment is unacceptable" Eight First Nations and Environmental Defence, Keepers of the Water, the National Farmers Union and Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment.

Creativity and making art has never been more important than right now

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

While the US media jokes about Canada becoming the 51st state, Canadians are readying themselves for war. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Where are the 2A folks? That's in the constitution for this exact situation.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

The foreign-owned #PostMedia needs a steady influx of Canadian taxpayer dollars to continue feeding us #MAGA propaganda. Alternatively we could never give them a dime again & boot them the hell out with extreme prejudice #BuyCanadian #TradeWar #Tariffs #cdnpoli pressprogress.ca/postmedia-te...

Repeat after me: “IT’S A COUP.”

AI is a tool. The industry accelerated so quickly that it skipped teaching people how to use it. Now everyone uses it as a crutch and our learning will suffer.
