Now that some conservatives are on Bluesky, can we start some (civil) arguments?

It's all about anti-Zionism, not antisemitism, right? Seen at Bathurst and Sheppard on Sept 14 in the heart of the Toronto Jewish community. Not sure what this has to do with Gaza. This banner is antisemitic, full stop.

This is very enterprising, but I don't trust raccoons with this job.

What about the Argos?

If you need an all-Canadian breakfast of champions to fuel a hard day of fighting annexation nonsense, I have a suggestion

The reaction @jessebrown.bsky.social's post is almost as enlightening as the post itself.

Jesse Brown @jessebrown.bsky.social · Jan 21

Weird how so many Canadians upset about Elon's Nazi salute didn't say anything when it happened right here, in Toronto and Montreal.

Same folks who were silent about the gunshots, firebombs, arsons, and terrorist plots against Jews they know...

If you hit 10,000 steps getting up to grab three chocolates from the cupboard that a guest brought to a holiday party, do the steps count? (Theoretical question, asking for a friend, etc.)

Eight years ago, a budding scientist gave a commercial airline pilot a gift that would link the two for life.

Since then, they'd met in person and linked up on social media. But when she boarded a flight a week ago, she didn't expect to see him.

Then an announcement came over the PA system.

When Allie Reimold boarded Flight 2223 in Houston a week ago, she didn’t expect to see the pilot whose life she had saved.

Breaking news: Abu Mohammed al-Jolani drops his nom de guerre in favour of his given name, Murray Goldberg.

www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

Syria’s new leader has two identities – but which one will take the country forward?

Whether he goes by Ahmed al-Sharaa or his nom de guerre, Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, is a key indicator in the direction Syria’s future may take

The answer to the question posed in this headline might be in the question itself, no?

www.popsci.com/science/why-...

Why are 'driverless' cars still hitting things? Depends on how they 'see.'

Real 'autonomous' vehicles rely on a diverse array of sensors capable of 'superhuman' object detection. It’s not perfect.

Tonight's game is a dog, but man did Masai and Bobby ever hit the motherlode with Shead, Battle and Mogbo, and in a "bad" draft year. #Raptors

Daniel Wolgelerenter @dwolgel.bsky.social · Nov 26

Though Shead, Battle and Mogbo are fun to watch.

Daniel Wolgelerenter @dwolgel.bsky.social · Nov 26

The second half hasn't been much better so far.

Tonight's Raptors-Pistons game is ugly. U-G-L-Y.

Mogbo was a great pic. Bench Mob 2!

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Opinion: Bluesky is a dangerous echo chamber because no one wants to hear from me, specifically

They just… blocked me. Like I’m some kind of annoyance, rather than the iconoclastic and fascinating truth-teller which I know myself to be.

Btw, I enjoyed your conversation with Ralph Benmurgui. (I generally enjoy the "new" Michael Coren, though I enjoyed watching and listening to the "old" one too, even though I consider myself left of centre.)

It's like you farted in a perfume factory @phoebebovy.bsky.social (I probably need to work on a better metaphor...)

I have written countless opinion pieces and none including on contentious topics have riled people this much. I didn’t see it coming! Maybe I’m a fool.
