My no-fun-at-parties take is that "christmas is a secular holiday" is an uncomfortable way of assuring me that christianity is the status quo and everything outside of that is an aberration. Sorry! It's still a christian holiday!! Just because you're an atheist doesn't make it secular!

the caq has been enshittifying us since they got elected: rising rents, healthcare access, out-of-province tuition hikes, hijab bans... soraya will definitely make things worse, but I find it frustrating how long people have been accepting this shit instead of doing prientemps érable 2.0
Is Montreal on the cusp of enshittification?

From a historical perspective, following an overwhelmingly boring election, Montreal might be on the cusp of enshittification.

Sneaking a change of this magnitude into a 600-page bill that will not get parliamentary scrutiny raises a red flag, Althia Raj writes.

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

please keep to heart that each and every one of these attempts to eradicate trans women from public life, from professors to girl guides, is a form of misogyny so efficient in how it keeps the regime of sexual difference intact that it smoothly undercuts everyone else's rights

despite its numerous faults, it seems like a lot of people are afraid of fully unplugging from spotify because they'll miss out on music discovery. that's a role that music journalism can and should be filling.

Bangladesh's PM was just sentenced to death for ordering last year's brutal crackdown.
Are any politicians running on a "We gotta start stacking these fascists like fucking cordwood" platform?

Actually, leftover scumbags from the NIXON administration.
Cheney, Rumsfeld, Roger Ailes, Roger Stone, Kissinger, all should have died in prison at a bare minimum. The George W Bush administration would never have even happened if we didn't let this nest of fascist ratfuckers fester.

The main reason we're in this situation is a bunch of war criminal shitbags from the Reagan administration paved the way for fascism.
And the best thing you can do is ask the grunts not to follow illegal orders. What about your part of the bargain?

“The offramps to individualized hustles that dominate today are not neutral or inevitable, they are a deliberate design choice by capitalist platforms that present coordination as friction & independence as efficiency.”
i probably won't make any friends with this one but maybe think twice before you start a substack? i went long on how that's only making things worse for journalists trying to find footing in these precarious times.
What if instead of “going solo” on Substack, we rebuilt newsrooms together?
