The new novel "What Friends Are For" sheds light on the history of abortion in Canada. Harriet Zaidman's book is a “nuanced, important, and unfortunately timely novel set in 1983 at the height of Canada’s abortion debate, following a young girl grappling with an unplanned pregnancy.”

It looked like she hadn't caught it right but it just slammed into the top corner.

I'm old enough to remember when the proponents for TMX being built, saying it would create long term good paying jobs. How is that going? Since May 2024 there have been THOUSANDS of jobs lost in Alberta oil/gas. However, RECORD profits for oil/gas. SO you want another pipeline huh?

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.

I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

China’s CO2 emissions have now been flat or falling for 18 months, starting in March 2024.

This trend continued in the third quarter of 2025, when emissions were unchanged year-on-year.

If this trend starts to move into sustained carbon emissions reduction it would be hugely significant.

Nothing like a proposal for a modest amount of lower-income housing nearby to find out who your neighbors are.

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.
Every single time.

no question that hegseth hates guys with beards because they make him feel insecure
Hegseth: "We don't need to be a military of beardos anymore. Do you know how many troops claim to be Nordic Pagan? No, suddenly it's become this real fake religious affiliation inside the Pentagon where troops came to be Nordic Pagan so they can grow a beard and nobody challenges them on it."

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

This is a reminder to our cis allies that one small but incredibly impactful thing you can do to help keep trans people safe on social media is putting your pronouns in your bio on every site you use.

It'll increase the false-positive rate of harassment from trolls and help shield trans people. 1/2

Weird how at some point the ACA subsidies went from meaningless technocrat babble that it was obviously incredibly stupid for Democrats to try protecting to being incredibly important for helping people avoid suffering.

And Democrats managed to get it wrong both times!! What were the odds?

this is a rich text but my favorite part is that despite being presumably good at math, her husband is so illiterate that he cannot read a baby's report card
I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

Communicating why a 50 year mortgage costs more, overall, than a 30 year mortgage should not be a hard task.

The problem is the average American is both functionally illiterate and innumerate, as a deliberate result of decades of the policies made by the very people pushing for 50 year mortgages.

Operation “If it travels, it’s orange” is on track. (I constantly lose shit in hotel rooms, airport xray trays, seat back pockets, so now I have orange headphones, watch, Bluetooth speaker, phone, laptop, and backpack.)

The UK is funny because they could just be like “let’s electrify 100 km a year” and do that 20 years and it would be a really good investment, and wouldn’t be that hard.
