Ford was asked about potentially doubling ODSP
He responded by attacking recipients of OW, claiming "healthy people" are defrauding the system of $733/month.
Number one, you’re not going to be healthy if you’re living on 733/month.

honestly tho, cutting off both gender affirming care and anti-depressants can only be read state-encouraged suicide
the USA is paving the way for trans youth to kill themselves en-mass, and then claim "it was all a trend" as young adult transition rates fall in 2-4 years
WE CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN

This is an excellent sci-fi series set in an alternative 1950s/60s America, making the stakes of the "space race" even higher. Highly recommended!
A note that may be of interest: @torbooks.bsky.social has placed the ebook of The Calculating Stars on sale this month for $2.99. If you're interested in diving into The Lady Astronaut books, this may be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

It is the darkest of all possible humor that Disney is publicly rolling back their DEI initiatives and removing content warnings from older, racially-insensitive work on the same week that they are releasing a new MCU movie with a Black man as Captain America.

Students should study the humanities not because it makes them better workers but because it rips you open and breaks your brain and changes everything you thought you knew. I *promise* you this. I *promise* it has this ability, no matter how smart you think you are. I have seen it countless times.
Hearing the president of KU say that the way the humanities can protect itself - a question asked by a humanities professor of Spanish - is that her field should direct its public voice to how the Spanish language can impact AI versus the third study of an obscure play…. Just sigh.
