Stop making me have to agree with Doug Ford about things
Of course, it’s the left that refuses criticism & reacts with rage at any opposition
Last month, playing tape of Charlie Kirk's words was enough to get people fired for the new category of anti-Kirkist hate speech.

This month, playing tape of Ronald Reagan's words is enough to spark a presidential tantrum and diplomatic breakdown.

Live Updates: Trump Cuts Off Trade Talks With Canada

It would have been a better world
I feel guilty still about having avoided the mess we’re seeing in the US precisely because the US became such a mess that enough Canadian voters decided not to cast a ballot for our bilingual version of JD Vance becoming our PM
So anyone with a beer gut & a hankering for mass deportation can join ICE, but Hegseth & Trump’s new rule for the conventional military is “No Beards, No Fatties”
"The 1.5-mile run, in particular, has toppled more trainees than any other requirement, two officials said."

Democrats need to propose a bill that requires ICE agents to run 2 miles.

ICE’s ‘Athletically Allergic’ Recruits
Push-ups, sit-ups, and a brisk jog pose a threat to Trump’s deportation campaign.

My own career in higher education has been tanked because of the college cuts that slamming the doors on international students has caused. I’m one among thousands of education professionals in learning & management facing the end of a career direction that’s been my focus for my life
We promised them a home. Instead, they became collateral damage.

Canada’s message to international students was “Study, work, and stay.” Now, policies are changing, and tens of thousands may lose their status. Writer @marcellodicintio.bsky.social explores: thewalrus.ca/canada-held-the-...
Universities and research institutions haven’t been able to support the numbers of PhDs produced for decades. The job market for researchers & lecturers has never been able to handle 10-20 PhD grads from every department in every university
At the Mod Club for @msezrafurman.bsky.social’s Toronto show tonight. First time I’ve been here since their long ago remodelling and these are the best bathrooms of any club I’ve ever been in

See this would be a tattoo that you could have if you simply made a bad decision. This is a tattoo you can still not have covered up but feel embarrassed by.
How much overlap is there of those left-wing critics of No Kings & the belief that Ukraine is a natural part of Russia? I smell dirtbags
Are cynics just repurposing the “no concrete demands” critique of Occupy back in the day?
I mean, I once told a co-worker that gay men were the most masculine of all because they needed no significant role for women in their lives. But that was to induce a constructive gay panic to get over his homophobia. I believe that did fix it. Plus his best friend coming out. But also me!

When I was seventeen, some guy I’d been at school with until a few months earlier murdered his friend with a claw hammer. The victim’s mother decided it was videogames that were responsible, and high street stores stopped selling the Rockstar game Manhunt. I am reminded here of that moment.
Meeting yesterday with Brianna Ghey's mother Esther - and pupils at Brianna's former school - was a powerful reminder of why controls on social media and smartphone use in schools is so important for children, teachers and parents. (1/2)
Mason Fluharty is not a real name
I feel like this is pretty fucked up
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

the person who came up with "the customer is always right" probably meant well but ended up doing irreparable harm to society
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

This is absurdly bad PR. These are the images that need amplified. If you're online, think strategically about which images need to go viral to tell the story of the horrors of this moment. RT and share the shit out of them.
I’m not following the US TSA Bluesky account, but I’m not blocking it either, since they haven’t posted any propaganda. Only jokes about the dumb shit airline passengers do, which is the purpose of airport security social media.

Gotta block ‘em all!
Here’s the one-stop shopping blocklist to disappear the Trump regime accounts that swarmed Bluesky yesterday.

His foil Justin Trudeau has had his political career ended: Justin’s biggest problem is whether running into the guy who played Legolas 25 years ago at a restaurant in LA will be socially awkward. There’s no need to fight him anymore. Yet Pierre is threatening him with jail time.
