“It’s about a woman, who’s pretty”
Won’t someone think of the crackers?
It frankly boggles my mind that we have invented a computer that cannot do math.
Great news. Thanks for keeping us informed
Sucks for them that human ingenuity is irrepressible 😌
Black women have every right to be furious. The irresponsible choices of white voters has for many of us, taken our livelihood with consequences for our homes, the education of our children, our ability to care for parents. It’s unconscionable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
happy labor day everyone. now more than ever we got to remember what it's about.
Century of humiliation.
Would enthusiastically attend 💪🪿
Totally, and the emerging scoldy bsky archetype is fun to joke about (imo) but the idea that users can’t seek out the ‘tone’ they want from their social media experience is kinda just… yeah ya can
I have an opinion piece in the New York Times today on how the labor movement has failed to step up to the moment in countering Trump, even as Trump unilaterally strips public sector workers of collective bargaining. Labor will die as a movement if this continues. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Ooh a rule of threes plot twist, I see the vision 👁️
If I’m not mistaken, this is the site of Toronto’s first ever water pump 💦
"oh nothing matters because mr. trump won't let it matter" shut up
trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa

Opinion: "The past two weeks' arrests due to the federal expansion of law enforcement in the District have only added to an already swollen jail population, which had been ticking up thanks to local policies favoring incarceration." 51st.news/opinion-dc-n...
SO smart and insightful (as always)
One of the things I’ve come to suspect over the course of doing @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social’s Project 1933 is that the Stephen Millers of Trump world are imitating the Nazis on purpose, as a kind of tribute or cosplay.
The claim is utterly, demonstrably, and indisputably false
They really think they’re doing something here 🙄
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
Literal red-carpet rollout 😡
22 pelican shots stacked from a sequence of 101 shots in 7 seconds. A single gull. About 6 shots stitched for the background, some issues with the water but overall the shot sequence I've been hunting about 3 weeks. A solid ending to grunion run season 2025. Cya next year, little fishies #birds
Come tf on
So far down the list of Points but these people have no clue what the rule of law means
The Trump administration says they're the "most transparent" in history. But when I asked the Department of Homeland Security who writes their social media posts, something extremely weird happened: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
it doesn't have to be like this
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
"The spectacle that falsifies reality is nevertheless a real product of that reality, while lived reality is materially invaded by the contemplation of the spectacle and ends up absorbing it and aligning itself with it."
This is Steve Miller and the Band’s approach to governance
But there's no denying that at this very moment we're experiencing life under authoritarianism: people having to measure what they say and in front of whom, secret police snatching people into vans, president completely unconstrained by Congress -- this is the real deal...
I think we are in a quantum superposition between democracy and competitive authoritarianism. The 2026 midterms will collapse the wave function: we'll look into the box and see whether the cat is dead or alive.
Waiting for an article about McGill and U of T international applicants skyrocketing at some point soon
She’s been doing it since EPL honestly 😌
Nature rules dude
A perfect essay about a city I love 💗
Gotta be bc Hegseth and JD got booed there the other day. Putting the petty in petty tyrants, as ever
Would honestly kinda be in support of a federalized litter removal corps but NOT LIKE THIS
he's almost a creature of fiction, a caricature painted in classics to decry and exaggerate the worst excesses of tyrants of old.
Honestly reading more about the most ancient political archetypes we’ve inherited has been super illuminating lately
this is a really frustrating aspect of AI. Similar to how we're like "cheating in college is ok now," we're completely ok with Sam Altman murdering teens because AI is a special kind of product exempt from the kind of consumer safety regulations that cover, say, lawn darts bsky.app/profile/apoc...
Just leaving the scene of yet another neighbor being taken today. Delivering food to a neighbor, stopped, surrounded by multiple agencies of law enforcement and arrested. No pretext.
The thing abt Bill Gates cutting off funding to Dems (on the same day he visits Trump) -- he actually IS someone that Epstein ... or Ghislaine -- might have blackmail on. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...
Hm sounds like a prison
Paddington vs. Jason Bourne Paddington vs. Jason Statham
Francesca Albanese, the U.N. special rapporteur on Palestine, has been sanctioned by the Trump administration for documenting and demanding accountability for Israeli crimes. "I'm not going to step back and I'm not going to stop my work," she says of the U.S. pressure campaign.
The “not sorry” is silent… and also invisible
Omg welcome to Toronto!
I LOL’d, thanks 🙏
Now slow down everyone, let's not laugh here about how completely braindead you have to be to ask if a toaster can feel love - if we convince the tech bros that the AI is not only sentient but that it's unionising they'll shut down the botnet and torch all the server overnight.
Oh no! My calculator! It’s in pain!
Is the “most unsettling question” why anyone would bother caring about this when actual suffering exists in the world?
wrote this in 2023
Lisa Cook documented the devastation of the end of Reconstruction. This graph, from her paper "Violence and Economic Activity," shows the effects of Jim Crow on Black patenting and newspapers. As she said on Planet Money: "1899 was the peak year for African American patents per capita. It still is."
I need a cigarette
*sorry, pre-frontal cortex. I’m not an expert but have come across this in the context of juvenile justice reform efforts
The gist of it is that 25 is when the frontal cortex (ability to consider consequences for example) finishes developing but it’s a huge stretch to apply that to gender identity which generally emerges literally decades earlier
The Supreme Court’s conservatives bear SO much blame for this disaster. They really thought they could let Trump fire every agency leader EXCEPT members of the Fed, and Trump would abide by their stern admonition to leave the Fed alone. Embarrassing stupidity. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Google AI summary is inaccurate, see eg www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...
native washingtonian here. i've lived in this area my whole life. i've never felt less safe than i have in the past couple weeks.
Would bet anything it’s so he can just make five to seven assertions and then have this person go and chase down any empirical or persuasive support for them
IN MEMORIAM: On this day in 2001, we lost Aaliyah in a tragic plane crash. A true icon—singer, actress, dancer, model—her influence still echoes through music and culture. We miss you, Baby Girl.
Let’s be clear about what is happening: This man is being punished — and disappeared — because he embarrassed our pretender king. They trumped up a criminal case against him because he was embarrassing.
People are determined to prove the “the adults are the problem” point I guess
Trying to ward off the possibility of drawing the 30-year card is what I was going for 🙏
[clears throat] I am a giant dork

This is a whole sermon 🙏
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
Sooo chic
Yeah they don’t have a case on this guy at ALL
This man is being subjected to a real-life version of Kafka’s “The Trial” as punishment for being the embarrassing object of the regime’s own malicious and chaotic incompetence. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
Im going to cry there was a line of teachers with signs that said "You've got this" outside my metro station cheering every kid when they got off the escalator 😭
So sinister and yet so goofy
Canadian Achievement Unlocked: I correctly answered this Trivial Pursuit: Canada Edition question 🍁
One of the things I’ve learned a lot about this past year is how in many smaller towns, the sheriff, judge, real estate developer and construction company are either the same person, same family or just as good as. It’s all landlords all the way down.
"Rawls is boring and abstract!" Rawls randomly in Theory of Justice:
We moved from DC to Toronto a few years ago and I completely relate to the discomfiting cocktail of emotions it inspires
And so many such ideas emerge from their sworn enemy, Academia
"Orange Man Bad" remains an essentially unimpeachable political take and everyone who has tried to escape its gravity has ended up looking like a fool.
I don’t hear “Democrats” using these terms. Pelosi? Jeffries? Clyburn? Schiff? Swallwell? Waters? If you mean liberals then provide the alternative word that would be clearer. Or is it that you don’t think the concepts are real? Patriarchy is a thing. If there’s a better word, let’s hear it.
Yeah they don’t have a case on this guy at ALL
It’s been five days and I am still thinking about “you and your unnerving poodle eyes” the most utterly accurate assemblage of words I’ve seen on this site
Great reporting
I often find myself saying "what a time to be alive" but friends, today, defector.com/it-took-many...
Some important context here: The first computers ever built, over 150 years ago, were capable of doing numerical calculations accurately.
The lesson people should be learning is “Newsom is showing that this strategy is so effective that it works despite him being a piece of shit” and then demand that the non-piece of shit Dems use the same strategy instead of letting him be the lone voice.
The house where the entire back half lacks windows? So sinister wtf
Yes!
I have seen precisely two pictures of this man and I know if I look up the dictionary entry for smug I shall see a third
i used to live in takoma park, these fascists can fuck right off
I'm cautious with mockery when it comes to dealing with fascists, because I know they use it as a tool to present horrific ideas as "just a joke". But I feel like calling ICE agents dumb, lying pieces of shit to their cowardly masked faces is going to be an essential strategy going forward.
That truck is perfect example of how ICE drops in, causes direct violence to the community, and then bounces with no accountability and absolutely no regard for the destruction left in their wake.
The Air Canada workers demanded fair compensation and went on strike and the gov tried to shut the strike down through forced arbitration. They defied the order and had a wildcat strike. Despite the media pushing a corporate narrative the public supported them and they won. The tide is changing
