Fascinating how every conceivable topic under the sun is now the subject of at minimum six wildly different conspiracy theories.

Okay clearly I'm not done: is there a question that touches more on workers' rights than immigration? Temporary foreign workers? Refugees? Climate refugees? No? Unless I very badly misunderstood, I don't think a single aspiring NDP leader spoke about immigration tonight.

I respect Rachel's work a whole lot, but she and I saw something so different tonight. I've been following NDP politics since 2010, and tonight, the aspiring Federal NDP leadership convincingly seemed to wash their hands of Québec. Tonally, content-wise, the messaging, was so bizarre.
NDP debates are less "debates" and more "agreement-offs" lol. Who can agree harder!!!!! Endearing but not very juicy

Only in Canada would a bunch of aspiring leaders of a federal political party show up to a political debate in Montréal and be generally incapable of speaking in any meaningful way about the political situation on the ground, in this city or province. The NDP has clearly conceded Québec.

Only in Canada would an aspiring leader of a federal political party show up to a French language debate and ROLL THEIR EYES at the moderator when asked (not for the first time) to please answer the question in French.

This is actually a skit.
The @ndp.ca hasn't posted here in a month, it seems, and they haven't updated their YouTube channel in AGES.
This means that I'm looking at a bootleg stream, with no FR option...in an ostensibly FR debate that uh isn't all-FR because of the FR level of the candidates.

It will never stop being shocking how poorly Anglo politicians speak French during French-language debates. Honestly, I would rather they just speak in English and give up the pretence of inclusion towards French speakers.

100% - said this before. gamergaters were and are the unpaid "enforcers" of management of the game industry. no reason to ever meaningfully try to do anything about these right winger harassment waves when they're the ones out there acting out what most of the management class actually believes
Any one of these massive AAA videogame companies could file suit against the 6-piece Chicken McNobody ringleaders harassing their employees, and that they don't is a choice. I said before of goobergate that the industry enjoys having a bunch of unpaid Pinkertons around too much to ever give it up.

even people who talk about the importance of Humanities from the outside tend to think of humanities fields as so much content or information or, at most, "lessons." We can have a thriving trade in airport history books and still be dead to actual thinking

Love trying to do research, and opening article after article to constantly see blatant use of generative AI (illustrations, writing, etc.) all over the webpages and the text. I just don't know how far the rabbit hole goes, you know?

admittedly, i like the way it looks too. but the stylistic “human touch” is running cover here for the fact that the aesthetic was born from a labor crackdown that actually eliminated a large portion of the human beings working on the film

the reason 101 dalmations looks like that is because disney incorporated xerography (ie early photocopying technology) into the animation process. rough pencils (by mostly male animators) were copied onto the cels so that disney could fire the (mostly female) inkers. remember that art can lie to you

I feel like the last couple decades of "is representation good or not?" discourse missed more important questions of "how fragile is representation?", "what do we do when multiple industries eliminate it as an intentional move against us?" and "how can we sustain queer artists when shit goes south?"
"According to the report, [...]during the 2024-25 television season, queer characters increased across platforms by 4%, bringing the total to 489. However, the Thursday report found that 41% of those characters will not return." www.thewrap.com/glaad-where-...

![However, the brothers' Google search history in the weeks after the theft for phrases including "how to wash crypto”, “top crypto lawyers”, “wire fraud statute / wire fraud statue [sic] of limitations”, and “prison or jail worse” suggest that perhaps the brothers had some clue that their actions could be interpreted criminally, as do the brothers' own descriptions of their plan as “sus”.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:exrxvyu6bpoym6mbnctke5tn/bafkreicpwu5pjoddgp2ovmaka2kfu6d6uc7uijrld5a4hovz5qpaqlkk5u@jpeg)

Random question for my anglo speakers: was mercantilism a concept taught to you in primary or secondary school? Also, could you give a rough explanation (off the top of your head, no looking it up) of it? (This is research for something I'm drafting, I appreciate all answers no matter what!)
