In response to DeSantis anti-LGBTQ+ policies and attacks to the Pulse Memorial, many citizens started to paint their driveways in the rainbow colors in support of the community.
#Daniellezebub Canโt understand why anyone would support her, unless theyโre a 51st stater.
Everything around Trump is turning into the worst โAlice in Wonderlandโ story ever. What an absolute nightmare
Graham Greene, a Canadian icon. Rest in Peace, you beautiful soul. Thank you for everything.
Me too. Itโs gorgeous. I was 25 when I first heard it. Stopped me in my tracks.
Just letting YouTube do its algorithmic stuff. Many, many years ago (like 12-15 years ago). Despite them being oligarchic assholes (as are they all), you can still find some real treasures here, if youโre willing to look for them.
Yup.
And, of course, the original. youtu.be/J9gKyRmic20?...
Yeah, I repost the same music videos over and over again, but perhaps a new follower gets twigged to an amazing artist. Thatโs worth something. This is always amazing. I love audience participation. youtu.be/bXzis29vA6k?...
One of his earliest interviews. Bold as brass. youtu.be/5W38suFC0Ow?...
Me too. Just listened to Blackstar and it was devastating. He never caved to critics, faced his demons, saved others (Iggy Pop), spoke to all of us alienated youth, and went out on his own terms. Legend.
I sure hope so. The fact that he was elected with one of the worst turnouts of all time is truly depressing.
Iโm sure he is. โCaptain Canada.โ Except heโs a dolt, beholden to the developer/construction mafia. Every move he makes is to put money in their pockets. I despise him.
One of my favourite artists. So imaginative and so fearless. Part of the soundtrack of my life. His death hit me a lot harder than I thought it would. And his last album was so brave under the circumstances. โค๏ธ
Another childhood lovely. Always reminds me of the fall (canโt imagine why). Has anyone else seen The Great Pumpkin? youtu.be/OODA_K5hxyc?...

Rush for people who donโt care for Rush. This is a lovely (and rare) ballad from Rush. I saw them twice back in the late 70s. They were exceptional. youtu.be/9wX4JpogAVA?...
Why in Godโs name would anyone think that Doug Ford is doing a good job running Ontario? All he wants to do is cover this province in concrete to give his developer buddies shit tons of money. Oh, and gut healthcare, education, workersโ rights, bike lanes, and much, much more. Idiots all.
Yeah, I could NOT work there! ๐คฎ๐

Trumpโs new caddies are out of control!
my dad has taken up baking in retirement and, realizing he didnโt know his neighbors, started going door to door with fresh bread. heโs made tons of friends. a music producer who now invites him over to listen to old records. a guy in the final stages of a terminal illness who isnโt alone anymore.
Itโs very weird. Those windows are bulletproof and are supposed to be locked at all times.

Or maybe one object. The second one appears in the window but doesnโt seem to fall out.
Someone threw two objects out of a White House window. Supposedly these windows are supposed to be locked at all times. Weird shit going on.

Anybody else following the allegations against Chorus and the Sixteen Thirty Fund (supposedly a dark money operation that funds Democratic influencers to counteract the right-wing influencers)? Taylor Lorenz of Wired has written about it. If her allegations are true, it seems quite sketchy.
To those who wonder what the point of RFK is. Itโs precisely this. Eugenics.

Holographic images of Trump have gone up in Los Angeles and itโs pretty cool.
Cheers! ๐จ๐ฆ
We may fall into a Trump-caused recession while Carney manoeuvres us through this storm to better waters but under Poilievre we would have gotten into a depression with no better waters ahead. Poilievre is that unqualified; just an angry mouth flapping with no brain behind it.
Just enjoying the dynamism of English modernist Cyril Powerโs linocut โThe Tube Stationโ (1932)

Thanks for the inclusion. Much appreciated!
Ha. Haha. Haaa. I get it.
But did the black paint make it too hot? (Obviously not.) The US border wall is a sad joke. Paid for ($millions) by US taxpayers. Fleeced again.
I second this motion.
So much for all you libtards spreading the rumor that President Trump died, as he's clearly pictured here today out golfing like a BOSS and healthier than ever! #DonaldTrump

But, didnโt Dotard say that the United States doesnโt need anything from Canada? Oh, you need our MONEY? Well, that ainโt happening. FAFO. Cheers from Canada!
Canadian filmmaker Sean Menard recently uncovered nearly 100 reels of film chronicling Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope in 1980 This previously unseen footage is coming out later this year in a documentary titled โRun Terry Runโ.

#UCP orders the #EPSB to create a list of #BannedBooks to which they reluctantly comply, then she denounces it. Turncoat. "If they need us to hold their handโฆwe willโฆwork w/ themโฆso we can be super clear about what it is we're trying to do." Translation: โWe donโt know wth weโre doing.โ #abpoli
This is a screenshot of an AI deepfake video running as an ad on YouTube. It shows a fake Mark Carney advertising an investment scheme. Don't fall for it. It's likely run by Russian scammers. Complain to YT about the ad if you see it.
Trump just replaced the de minimis exemption with surcharges ranging from $80 to $200 per package, crushing any small businesses that rely on imported goods. Bastard.
And like Brexit, a referendum in Alberta seems particularly ripe for Russian meddling to undermine ๐จ๐ฆ. Especially with so many credulous conservatives already lapping up disinfo. Fascist Russia is already at war with Western democracies and this is a golden opportunity from Putinโs point of view.
My wife got me Starry Night by Van Gogh (my favourite artist) for Christmas but I have yet to start it. Canโt seem to find a space to build it in! ๐
Apparently, Canada is affected as well. Sigh. www.newelementary.com/2025/08/pick...
โBack when I was a kidโ it wouldnโt matter. You got a bunch of bricks and built whatever your imagination could dream up. Now, everything is a set and if you lose a piece, your set will not be โfinishable.โ Pretty sure we have a Hogwarts Castle in the basement that we built once and never again.
In this extremely dark timeline, I came across this clip of Benny Andersson teaching his ABBA bandmates the melody to โDancing Queenโ โ and Iโm running with it.
LEGO will no longer ship individual bricks (their โPick a Brickโ program) to the United States due to the elimination of the โde minimisโ exemption. All those poor LEGO enthusiasts missing a single piece to complete their masterpiecesโฆoh the humanity!
I believe the companies also get a cut of every claim denied, thus incentivizing them to deny claims.
The Great Wave Off Kanagawa by Hokusai. 1831.
Facebook suggested a Japanese art group to me yesterday and today. I love Japanese art and even have a print of the The Great Wave Off Kanagawa by Hokusai. I took a look. 523 posts per day and most of it is AI bullshit, stupid math โchallenges,โ and other garbage. No thanks, Facebook.

So, the list of banned books in Alberta was cobbled together from a list of books banned in Texas (the most aggressive book banning state), and a list created by Moms for Liberty, a notorious right-wing, anti LGTBQ+ organization. Importing American fascism to Canada. archive.is/2025.07.12-1...
"What specific book-banning lists are going to do is limit the amount of material that's available to students, limit the amount of topics that can be discussed and just create a culture of fear in the classroom." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.
Hey, Doctor, don't know if you've heard, but Albertans are going to have to pay $100 for Covid shots here. I suspect our Premier would gladly let you jump the queue and set up a vaccine clinic in Coutts.

Edmonton Public Schools has decided that Margaret Atwood is too dangerous for youth to read. As is Brave New World. 1984 is banned by Grade 9s and younger. This is the MAGA machine of Danielle Smith in action. Perhaps a public book burning will reassure the base. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
...and the hate continues in #Alberta #bannedbooks The Handmaid's Tale among more than 200 books to be pulled at Edmonton public schools Internally distributed list obtained by CBC shows more than 200 books slated for removal www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
The convoy was just the first salvo, and Greenland is a cautionary tale. The American plot to Trumpify/annex Canada and/or break us up (i.e. Alberta separatism) is well underway. We need to fight/oppose them in every way possible. deanblundell.substack.com/p/this-is-no...

We launch @meidascanada.ca on Labour Day. I spoke earlier this summer at the PanAmerican Congress in Mexico on fighting fascism. One of the key tools is building alternate networks of information. This is why I have teamed up with @meidastouch.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8JP...
