Pierre Poilievre using the term "legitimate Canadians" is not accidental. It's anti-immigrant on purpose. It's signalling to the American govt that he and the CPC are on board with their white supremacist dreams. Power is all that matters to him. He'll do or say anything to get it. #cdnpoli

"Why don't the Liberals, the largest Canadian political party, simply eat the other parties?"
This is the problem with podcasters and influencers, they don't follow the same standards as journalists
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
The things y'all credit them with being right about, leftists were right about first. But now y'all crave the empire that worked silently oppressing instead of announcing it on social media and affecting your personal budget.
New ideas need old buildings. In today’s @globeandmail I showcase a vision for Toronto’s Old City Hall as a space for contemporary culture - opening this year. Let’s go.

genocidal govt: “you don’t exist”
liberals: “maybe there’s a middle ground here”
trans people: “no there isn’t”
liberals: “aaron sorkin doesn’t have a code book for this”
Liberals: we will do literally anything and run literally anyone to entice swing voters Leftists: we're swing voters, we'll swing your way if you run someone we like Liberals: fuck off, we want the REAL swing voters: belligerent racists who hate us
Homelessness is a policy choice
Hell ya.
The whole "war on cars" whining is really the perfect example of, "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."
Never forget, the electric car is here to save the car industry, not the planet.
Read this thread.
As I put it a few years ago in my blunt advice to Irish cities, “Your goal SHOULDN’T be to replace a million fossil fuel vehicles with a million electric vehicles. It should be to replace a million fossil fuel vehicles with 250,000 electric vehicles. The main answer MUST be FEWER cars driven LESS."
anthropic: I have made AI
tech nerds: you fucked up a perfectly good computer is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety
If Carney gave a shit about protecting children or any other Canadians from online harms, he'd start by banning X for creating and distributing CSAM and non-consensual porn.
But he won't even stop posting there.
Still thinking about this column from @brucearthur.bsky.social.
Moral reasoning is hard. Human beings outsource their moral reasoning to leaders far more than we understand. It's why many ordinary Germans went along with the Holocaust.
We must demand our leaders stand up for international law.
@mark-carney.bsky.social is a fantastic orater, but I'm left with little hope that he'll stick to the vision of Canada leading with moral clarity here. I fear it'll be 2003 all over again.
Nobody on LinkedIn has ever had a bad day. Every setback is a "growth opportunity." Every firing is a "new chapter." Every complete professional disaster is framed as "excited to announce." These people would describe the Titanic as "a bold pivot to submarine operations."
Because if we cannot accept that we failed to stop burning fossil fuels in time, failed to stop the annihilation of the natural world, then we will be doomed to continue to fail. This failure means 3 things that are very rarely publicly discussed: 3/11
Misogyny and genocide really are bedfellows.
The purpose of a system is what it does.
Grok mastering the tax code in ways that humans can't, like finding the little-known CSAM deduction
Billboard ad for public transit visible from a freeway filled with cars and congestion, that says “You are not stuck in traffic. You ARE traffic.”
One of the best of all time.
“You’re not stuck in traffic. You ARE traffic.”
Wish we had come up with that one. #UrbanTruth
"You gotta pick one: Democratic control or unchained innovation and markets. Those things have more tension than me reading that smart and famous people sign a declaration with Steve fucking Bannon."
The same technological pinpoint accuracy that was used to slaughter children in Gaza now being used to slaughter children in Iran.
The guy who says "I just speak my mind" has never once considered that his mind might benefit from an editor. Or a fact-checker. Or a moment of silence. Just one. A single moment of not speaking his mind. As a treat.
just trained AI to remember all of my friends' birthdays, send an automated AI-generated email saying "happy birthday," call them using an AI-generated video of me, scan all of their online info so i buy the perfect birthday gift, which i'll deliver using an AGI robot that looks like me
