This is a very accurate comment about COVID but also, as it happens, uniquely relatable to queer people in Toronto 🫤
It's honestly like living in a region with a serial killer that the cops have no interest in catching. You can't stop living, so you just cross your fingers and do what you can to be safe.

So proud of #NovaScotia and also #Manitoba since they are following Nova Scotia’s lead. Come on #Ontario let’s join them. I’m talking to you #DougFord! 🫵
Nova Scotia is taking the fight to MAGA.
Last March they pulled all the booze off the shelves. Now they are selling it all off in a Xmas firesale-with proceeds going to the food bank.
And then they are done with US purchases.

Undeterred, the survey then asked:
“What if the only two candidates were Olivia Chow and Brad Bradford? In this case, who would you vote for?”
Darcy: “Did Brad’s dad send us this survey?”
“If Brad Bradford were made of candy (and he MIGHT BE) would you vote for him then??”

Our household got a survey about Brad Bradford! Too harsh?
“He's a pompous showboater with zero vision for our city, constantly griping about the work other people actually do while trotting out "back to basics" austerity foolishness as any kind of a plan. I find him unbelievably untrustworthy.”

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.
It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Netflix's $83 billion takeover of Warner Bros Discovery would mean more corporate consolidation.
Netflix, by far the #1 streamer, would take over HBO Max, the #3 streaming service.
This giant merger could violate antitrust law and hurt consumers.

If lawmakers are walking out of these briefings shaken, that tells you everything. This wasn’t a ‘split-second decision’ or a fog-of-war moment. It was the killing of unarmed, distressed individuals, and the American people deserve full accountability.

We’ve just stopped talking about the disgraceful complicity of every MSM outlet and reporter that has chosen to remain on a site that is an explicitly racist, Nazi cesspool.
It is unconscionable that they have CHOSEN to continue using it as their primary social media platform.

We are losing what physicist Richard Feynman called “the pleasure of figuring things out”
A not insignificant part of the fatalistic adoption of AI in Higher Ed, I think, is because we have stripped thinking, learning, reading, writing from the idea of pleasure; it has become pure utilitarian product, rather than joyful--and difficult--process.
