For no one's surprise 😒
The lovely science community on Bluesky (even without the comparison to the abusive mess on X) has been plain for a long time, but it's nice to have it confirmed by numbers. #science 🧪 #Bluesky #community #socialmedia www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who watches the watchmen? Quem vigia o vigilante?
Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job. Hope it's a good one for everybody! #HappyLaborDay
Short Version (BlueSky) Pierre may have kept his seat, but his leadership faces review in January. That’s why he’s manufacturing outrage, peddling slogans, and staging stunts to fire up his base. Without CBC cutting through the spin, Canadians would only see the show — not the shaky leadership.

The company that makes Jack Daniels whiskey is moaning about the Canadian boycott resulting in a 62% sales drop. It should be 100%. Keep it up, Canada.
arxiv.org/abs/2508.20863 The destruction of peer review. We need experts to be trusted, and editors to be involved in the process. The act of peer review is meaningless if editors don't assess the work themselves. Any paper sneaking prompts in is likely drivel, no AI needed to learn that. 😮💨
This is how small feels. From a child’s height, cars aren’t machines, they’re monsters.
Let's hope that they're daft enough to do this on Labour Day. Solidarity with labour and especially Alberta teachers right now. As s.o. said on CBC this morning "a teacher's teaching environment is your child's learning environment". We should all be invested in that. #ableg #abpoli
Vaccine hesitancy combined with restricted availability = bad news www.axios.com/2025/08/29/c...
Do you prefer to surrender to Putin? Or bending knees to Trump?! 🤔 (not even mentioning Xi) C'mon!!!
Next step:
Yeap. Let's totally stop the immigration... how long it will take to break the pension system, to the population shrink, who will do the entry-level jobs that Canadians don't want... how long to break the country (like we are seeing down the border)? No, thanks, but #neverPP
Oh please kick Fox off of YouTube!
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Then, they will be FULL nationalized.
Every time I hear arguments about which athlete is the GOAT, no one, absolutely no one, ever mentions Canada's Terry Fox. There has never, EVER been another person who could hold a candle to Fox's achievement. In doing so, he raised, (and in death, continues to raise), billions for cancer research.
This guy, Aaron Gunn, can move to Russia, if Putin is that good (and our "woke Western culture" is that bad). Oh, wait, is Russia in a bloody war now, right?! 🤔
Over 150 Canadians including toddlers have been kidnapped by ICE. Our government continues with the fiction that travel in the United States is normal. But Canadians are no dummies. The boycott remains strong. Las Vegas mayor complaining that Canadians just won't come back. Hasta la vista baby.
The people who reflexively say that everything happening in the news every day is just a distraction from the Epstein files are allowing themselves to get distracted by the Epstein files from many other things that are incredibly important also.
Fato curioso sobre porque as mulheres eram maioria na computação. Li no livro "A nova idade das trevas" Software era algo considerado feminino porque os homens queriam se dedicar somente ao hardware. Foram as mulheres que criaram os fundamentos dessa indústria.
Crime-ing in plain sight, as per usual. LOOK OVER HERE 👀 AND DON'T #RELEASEtheEPSTEIN_FILES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A grizzly bears defensive reaction is to attack. Keep that in mind next time your in the park.
I came from a country with one of the best vaccine coverage in the world! (Well, at least before Bolsonaro and all his radical right BS) We have learned, since young age, to thrust in science and facts (and not fear the needle)! Yes, I want ALL vaccines possible, and more!
As pro-vax (science) and anti-facism, you are welcome here, doesn't matter your colour, your faith, the languages you speak, or your sexual orientation. Everyone with good intentions is welcome here. 😍

"No deal is better than a bad deal!" #ElbowsUp
Me too. I'm so glad that my family and I immigrated to the northern side of the border (and yes, I lived for a short period of time, many years ago, as an international student there too). Thanks for accepting us, Canada 🇨🇦 😊 #ElbowsUp
Man... you are so screwed 😔 Sorry.
As a former physicist I find this funny 😂

Do you know who produces excellent orange juice, too? Brazil. The same one sanctioned by the clown dow the border. I'm pretty sure they will be willing to sell some to us. And coffee too 😉

"Please don't use this product we're pushing into everything" is an odd business strategy that only makes sense if you're desperate to cover massive debts.
Well, while we are dreaming, why not extend our borders down to the Baja California, too?! 🤣
I'm not favorable of Alberta leaving (with all kinds of implications this has). Why not just add Washington, as BC and Washington (and Oregon, to be honest), were part of Oregon country centuries ago. Now, seriously: these guys below parallel 49 are crazy.
Tenho uma picuinha com quem não é game dev e chama game de "joguinho" e usa termos no diminutivo pra falar como "moedinha", ""roupinha" e etc. Pode não ser proposital ou consciente, mas vejo como uma infantilização ou menosprezo implícito sabe? Pelo amor de deus não fala que vc trampa com "joguinho"
Hang on, glorious leaders... isn't using taxpayers' money to acquire a stake in private businesses "communism?" www.theregister.com/2025/08/20/u...
I prefer this option (keep losing) 🤣
2/2. Everyone using the phrase "land swap" should please specify which Russian territory Ukraine would be getting. So far it’s a euphemism for forcing Ukraine to give things up to Russia.
1/2. The phrase "land swap" is being used to mean "Ukraine concedes land illegally occupied by Russia and also concedes territory that is not even occupied." That is not a swap.
A Senator from Maine wrote Canadians on how we should be the 51st state. That's never going to happen. Canadians prefer our free health care and not living in a fascist country with a dictator president. Listen to Todd Maffin say why we don't be the 51st #ElbowsUp #Never51 #CanadaStrong
Wtf?! 😱 Man... Are Americans so sick that they need a law like this?! Anyone should be free to marry anyone (or anything!!! Even a goat 🐐 or a rock 🪨, if they wish).
Just what Canada doesn't need
Trump wants voters to believe America is ungovernable, and that the only solution is an authoritarian like him taking over. The more chaos, lies, and misinformation he spreads, the more likely people are to tune out completely. Do not.
😂😂😂😂😂

“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind,” -John Diefenbaker 🇨🇦 ❤️
Trump in his interview to FOX said he won’t consider placing sanctions against russia. Which was the main point of putin’s visit, because it’s the only thing that could actually hurt his ability to continue his aggression. The bloody russian maniac was just granted at least another year of war.
"This time will be different" are five of the deadliest words in human history. Dictators never stop killing people because you are nice to them. People who enjoy killing other people can't be bribed with trade deals or sanctions relief.
😂
😂😂😂😂 my alarm is set to 4:10 am. I can't stay in bed after 5:00. (But look my other comment about doing two days in one)
I do the same: 2 days in one, except I'm reversal of you. But, yeah: first day to work, second day for family 😍

Hey, take easy! I'm just being sarcastic. Sorry for the joke 😞 Sorry to be a nasty Canadian.
Specially if they need to pay tariffs to cross Canada! #ElbowsUp
Exactly! How long to have a ruzzian military base?!
If the times were different... not now.
I understand your point about cooling; but as a Canadian, the only thing I can say is: no, thanks! I respectfully decline it. Keep your stuff southern the border. At this point, we had enough of Americans. My guess is the Greenlanders will not take it too. sorry, #ElbowsUp
Isso não vai acontecer... o Trump já perdeu!
