The Wheel of Time cancellation hit my heart like the time they killed Daenerys in Game of Thrones. Or, two of her dragons. 6 years on, I’m still not over it…

I have to say, I’m quite devastated about the @wheeloftimewiki.bsky.social getting cancelled. It is such a great fantasy show, with a brilliant and diverse cast. Loved the gender representation and mainstreaming of queerness - something you don’t see very often, even in this day and age.

Just watched ‘Adolescence’ on Netflix. This may be an unpopular opinion: I thought the acting and filmmaking was spectacular but something about the story left me wanting more closure. I felt Episode 3 was perhaps the only one that came across as fully resolved.

Well. Not surprising at all. It’s going to be 100 times worse if Poilievre actually comes into power.

Campaign promise is an “intrusion on university autonomy and academic freedom.”

Omg, it’s so funny and tragic that all the headlines related to the Snow White re-make failure are blaming Rachel Zegler’s social media posts and support for Palestine. Perhaps they should consider the film as shit and that no one of consciousness wants to support Disney’s complicity in genocide.

Danielle Smith’s recent comments to the US administration to hold off tariffs so Pierre Poilievre can win, and Poillievre asking Doug Ford for help should tell Canadians that the conservatives are desperate and would go to any length to win. No matter the cost to people in Canada. It’s shameful.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

The world as we knew it has ended. Civilians no longer exist—only “legitimate targets,” only “collateral damage.”
The language of war has been stripped of its pretense, Francesca Albanese said fresh off her trip to Ireland. No more illusions of civility, no more performative concern.

“This Is Not a War—It’s a Genocide”: The Brutal Truth No One Wants to Admit
Francesca Albanese calls out the West’s silence: “Israel has killed 20,000 children—yet no EU government has cut ties.” Do civilians no longer exist?

Let's be clear, Danielle Smith is more than happy to placate Trump during the worst economic crisis facing our country than she is willing to work with Canadians.
It's never country before politics for her.

You cannot negotiate with terrorists. If the Ivies give in to any regime demands, the goal posts will move. If the massive ivy endowments aren’t deployed to preserve institutional integrity and academic freedom, what on earth are they for?
