“We don’t have illegal aliens… the legal term for my people were slaves….”
🚨This is what leadership looks and sounds like in 2025.✊🏼

Why not just use chicken entrails or ask a sphinx or something?

We’re only now, very belatedly, trying to rein in social media and all the harms it’s foisted on our societies. What many governments don’t seem to realize is that chatbots and image generators are repeating that cycle on steroids. Action must be taken now.

Until being blocked, i followed a consultant-type DNC wannabee (who used to make sense in 2019). She & her fans love to trash non-voters as dumb, blaming them for much that's really on Dem leaders for failing to inspire them (& supporting genocide). So sad...

I'm part of a study comparing a new type of aortic heart valve with two currently used ones, a side note to my more-dramatic-than-expected TAVI procedure two weeks ago. Although i haven't heard from them yet; perhaps my complications might disqualify me.

I actually don't think Canadians should prepare to make sacrifices so the military budget and AI investments can be scaled up, ultimately benefitting private contractors and big businesses.

Yes! Thank you. For so many reasons. I generally won't post something without a link to an original source.

A not insignificant number of people knew the demolition was coming, including people at the White House Historical Association, and did nothing to stop it.

Yup

Rick Steves is a true mensch.

I'll believe it when i see it. Cop culture is cop culture, no matter what the official policy is.

This is who is paying for the destruction of the White House East Wing, per @wsj.com

⚖️ NEW: The International Court of Justice ruled today that Israel must allow UN agencies, including UNRWA, to deliver aid into Gaza, finding that Israel failed to present convincing evidence to support its claim that Hamas had infiltrated UNRWA—and that even if true, such infiltration would not...

Another reminder of how awesome Ursula K Le Guin was.

Glad to see this; i hadn't known. When i lived in Portland i was part of a small demonstration about their union busting. Response was generally, "Powell's is so great. How can you criticize it?"

@parismarx.com, what letter are you talking about? Probably 10% of what i see on Bluesky deals with AI, so some clarification would be helpful.

@#$%^ dammit. I was so hoping that the three quasi-leftist parties would cooperate and run one mayoral candidate, and ten council candidates, between them as a slate. Talking to Orr personally, he agreed.

Oh well, another half-decade with Sim destroying the city.

Could you elaborate on which letter?

Racist are so confusing that way

"One of the proposed sites is a 54-storey, 1,136-unit building in downtown Vancouver, located at Pacific and Hornby streets where non-market units would be targeted for families with annual household incomes between $90,000 and $194,000."

Canadians deserve clarity and transparency. That’s why I’m calling on the government to fully explain the basis for the reported entry ban on @kneecapceol.bsky.social — no one should face arbitrary or politicized immigration decisions. The public needs answers. 🇨🇦

1. Trump grows even more unpopular.
2. ???
3. The country is saved.

What is 2? Can someone flesh it out for me?

The whole point of rigging this system is that you're insulated from public opinion!
