I used to have to stick my finger into one of several holes in a phone and rotate a circular piece of plastic, repeating the process a certain number of times to input the number I wanted to call.

Archives matter - but not to the Carney government. Canada has only ONE federal funding program for community archives, and they just killed it. Gone.

I'm glad the Grammys was used as a platform to push back against ICE/Trump - it's the first time the Grammys have been relevant in ages and definitely isn't because of the choices made for nominees/winners. (Defying Gravity over Golden? Really? Fuck off.)

I can't sleep. I know what's happening in MN isn't my country, isn't my government - but it's like watching a close friend descend further and further into self harming behavior. The further it goes, the more concerned I am they'll never recover. I'm sad. I'm angry. And there's nothing I can do.

I have so much respect for @michaelhobbes.bsky.social - I read the first bit of Sapiens when it came out and tapped out. Reading the whole thing then podcasting about it? Unreal. It's so epically bad.

This is disgusting behaviour from Carney towards Karina Gould.
And frankly, coupled with the “boys club” stuff sources have previously told me and the way he tended to lose patience more quickly with female journalists during the campaign…he may need to “look inside himself.”

The discourse over Kirk’s career is really hammering home how little the media and so many Dems understand the concept of lying or bad faith arguments.
An entire life dedicated to poisoning the well under the guise of ‘an exchange of ideas’ and nobody is capable of calling it out for what it was.
