the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.

Tweet from Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz: Justice has been done. I welcome the decision of the Chief Military Prosecutor, Major General Itai Ofir, to close the Sde Teiman cases against IDF soldiers and to cancel the indictment against them. This trial was born in sin by the previous Military Advocate General, using a blood libel against IDF soldiers and criminal investigation methods, and I am glad that justice has been done and the trial has been canceled. The role of the IDF's legal system is to protect and safeguard IDF soldiers who engage heroically in war against cruel monsters, and not the rights of the terrorists of Hamas. I am convinced that the decision will lead to a new path.

The Defense Minister of Israel says it was "blood libel" to go after Israeli soldiers caught on camera raping a Palestinian.

BREAKING: studies confirm that muttering "oh, fuck off would you" at things that won't stack properly in the dishwasher, other uncooperative inanimate objects, Microsoft Teams and people who sit in the middle lane on motorways does not cause them to start behaving better. More as we have it.

Aaron Gunn: If the federal government truly believes in the private property rights of Canadians, they should probably stop opening every public meeting by proclaiming the gathering on the “unceded territory” of this or that First Nation. Doing so reinforces the radical and dangerous legal concept that most Canadians live on “stolen land”. This is Canada. One country. For all Canadians.

𝗠𝗣 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝙇𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙛𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝘼𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙣 𝙂𝙪𝙣𝙣: “𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙭, 𝙗𝙪𝙙.” March 11, 2026 Chiefs from four First Nations communities are urging the public to please approach Aaron Gunn with no caution whatsoever. He is completely harmless, though momentarily unsettled by the alarming possibility that someone might acknowledge the land before a meeting. Yesterday on social media, the MP appeared to crash out and demand to speak to the manager of land acknowledgements, a position that observers confirm does not exist. Chiefs whose territories make up the riding had two words for the MP - Chillax, Bud. Land acknowledgements have never seized private property, cancelled a mortgage, repossessed a pickup truck, or altered a single title deed anywhere in Canada. They are simply people recognizing the history of the place where they are standing. No one is going anywhere. Canada will survive the brief moment of honesty. Until then, Chiefs across the region continue to reassure the public that land acknowledgements have not, to date, resulted in any land back.

Conservative MP for Powell River–North Island, Aaron Gunn, is, uh, well he’s being trolled a bit for his condemnation of land acknowledgements yesterday. Message from K’omoks, Klahoose, Homalco & Tla’amin Nations: “Chillax, bud.” #bcpoli

Why my concern at the ongoing Zhou/Sim #vanpoli issue?

I believe in accountability + transparency in a multilingual & multicultural Vancouver & any elected leader cannot attempted or be allowed to linguistically encrypt defamation or disinformation

I think most Vancouver residents would agree.

State-level anti-transgender laws increase past-year suicide attempts among transgender and non-binary young people in the USA Nature Human Behaviour - From 2018 to 2022, 48 anti-transgender laws were enacted in the USA across 19 states.

there was a new study published *today* in Nature showing that state-level anti-trans laws increase suicide among trans kids up to 72%.

Researcher calls findings the 'tip of the iceberg'

A tomahawk missile costs the taxpayers the same amount of money as one five-year major NIH research grant. Remember that every time they tell us one of those missed the target, blew up paintings of enemy aircraft or tanks, or was the fifth and unnecessary hit on the same target.

I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.

After revelations that companies like Ring have been selling home security footage to ICE, the most common defense of keeping a camera up seems to be, “But what if I’m stalked?”

And as a violence researcher, I’m just here to state for the record that police do not care about your security footage.

Sean Orr has filed legal action against Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim for saying to media without evidence that Orr was dealing drugs on Christmas Day

My workplace has recently become infatuated with share point yet leaves the individual design and implementation to people with little experience in either design and our workflows so everything is now unreliable and takes longer.

Saw Miss Grit a few years back opening for another artist and she was just fantastic, more memorable than the headliner. Walked out of the theatre with the record.

A study of social media content 18-24-year olds see in #Finland, #France and #Romania shows that algorithms overwhelmingly feed them right-wing political content - whether or not the users are interested.

Three country average for right wing content was 58% - in Finland, 67%!

I think you made a good argument against the point you were trying to make.

Just because some lawbreaking 12 year olds want to rename something doesn’t mean journalists have to spew their propaganda.

They also used to tell us to drink milk!

They made educational tv shows and commercials!

Remember when governments used to like people and want to help them??

Man, does that line about governments liking people resonate…

Drax to stop burning controversial Canadian wood within next year Yorkshire plant has been criticised for taking material from some of British Columbia’s most environmentally important forests

Good news! Drax to stop clearcutting BC forests for wood pellet power in UK (which is worse for our climate than coal, and diverts wood from other uses that provide way more jobs & value per tree). But Drax may try to export to other countries! www.theguardian.com/environment/... #bcpoli #axedrax

if we’re fomenting rage against First Nations because people are being given two years notice to vacate their expiring leaseholds on reserve land then we’ve kind of lost the plot

I’m sorry to say it but there’s no getting around the fact everyone is going to have to get much more stubborn. No, I won’t rush. No, I won’t use that. No, I won’t buy that. No, I won’t compromise on that. Stubbornness is a muscle we have to work daily.

Did you manage to finally save daylight or will you attempt it again next year?

Gavin Newsom vetoed a 2023 bill that would have stopped the unscrupulous practice of county governments using foster children's benefit checks (e.g. social security survivor benefits) to reimburse themselves.

The bill was sponsored by @ib2real.bsky.social, himself a former foster child.

Uploading Pirated Books via BitTorrent Qualifies as Fair Use, Meta Argues * TorrentFreak In an ongoing lawsuit, Meta now argues that uploading pirated books to strangers via BitTorrent qualifies as fair use.

In 2013 Aaron Swartz committed suicide for facing 35 years in prison for mass downloading scientific articles.

13 years later, Meta is almost getting away with an infraction orders of magnitude larger.

The law didn't change.
