One thing about current events is watching America's most prestigious pundits talk about Canada like a student winging a presentation for a project they didn't do to class:
"Minister of Ottawa" (he meant Premier of Ontario)
"Governor of Ontario" (she meant Premier of Ontario)

Ahhh!! It arrived! The @littlepuss.net reprint of the Gender Trash from Hell zines plus historical materials from the early 90's!
A few years ago when I found out about this zine I printed them all out and read them back to back. It's exciting that more people are now going to read it too.

I'm writing a short story about a group of trans millennials set in 2010, 2015 and 2025.
So I have to use the language of the day. Among them mtf/ftm (2010), doggo (2015).

To be a loud transphobe, you have to lack empathy, believe in conspiracy theories at all costs, listen in name only, and be the kind of anti-social that is fine with harming an entire population.
When a political party embraces these values, it's not just trans people who will pay, it's everyone.

Members of one of Canada’s largest white nationalist networks held a show of, um, force(?) in downtown Ottawa and in Regina over the weekend.
It was a pathetic display, but one we should unfortunately still talk about (with some research help from @antihate.ca!)

The notable change in the past two decades I've observed is transphobia going from implicit (exclusion is norm but not policy) to explicit (policy crafted to exclude trans people even as society has progressed).

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Both can be watched for free on the Télé-Québec app.

Looking at the gun lobby in Canada, they want two things:
- The 'right' to kill people when non-lethal alternatives are available
- Own assault rifles
Not on the list:
- Reducing processing times for a PAL, which can take over a year
- Opening more gun clubs given that so many are at capacity
