Bridget Bardot was anti Muslim and anti immigrant and convicted several times of inciting hatred. Her political views were far right. Her activism for animals do not erase that. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/de...

“Getting sick frequently at school is not inevitable, and it isn’t because kids are just harbingers of viruses. It’s more because the buildings they inhabit do not have adequate ventilation and filtration systems to reduce illness transmission,” @mjnabuurs.bsky.social said.

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

If it doesn't get inside you, it can't make you sick.

Respirators are designed by experts to help protect you from aerosol hazards, including COVID, the flu and other airborne diseases, and tested to make sure they are effective - and they are.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is a quack.

Wearing a mask is inconvenient, but not as inconvenient as lockdowns

We are experiencing a more severe than usual flu season and COVID rates are starting to rise. If you want to reduce your chances of getting sick, one of the most effective things you can do is wear a high quality mask. 🤫

You should be embarrassed for writing this dreck. It’s not up to you to decide how much antiblackness Cinnabon customers should be forced to endure because you feel sorry for some dumb white broad who couldn’t keep her racist opinions to herself. Shame on you.

Stay in your lane.
I wrote about why we should not celebrate someone losing their job, especially in today’s America, even when they’ve done terrible racist things.

Losing a job should also be harder and involve workers’ bodies not unilateral management decisions.

The flu... "coming up" on CBC Metro Morning. They're going to talk about "why it's up".

I can tell you why -- or at least, in part. Because people have normalized going to school and daycare and work sick. They're not taking precautions. Clean air? No. Masking? No. Vaccination? No.

America is a country that will test UBI hundreds of times, get the same radically positive results each time, and still look at it askance, but will also put untested robotaxis on the road because a billionaire threw a shit fit.

Louis C.K. is not a *cancelled performer.* He’s a sexual predator who blacklisted dozens of talented artists & women if they didn’t submit to his sexual harassment & assaults. He’s notorious in the industry for his despicable behavior & this redemptive framing sucks @newyorker.com
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.

They coined the term “useless eaters”.

They tested the gas chambers on us.

They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.

That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.

Marit Stiles called Doug Ford and his government corrupt and he kicked her out of the Legislature.

Doug’s not a big fan of the truth and I’m pretty sure he’s allergic to integrity.

This petition - iagreewithmaritstiles.ca - has nearly 4,600 signatures.

Let’s keep sharing it.
