Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.

It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Can we get a single freakin’ #cdnpoli journalist to ask the government why Palantir remains on Carney’s 🇺🇸 /🇨🇦 council despite all the Peter Thiel allegations? Or do we declare the Canadian Press’ time of death?

This year, the Timbit turns 50 years old.
It is estimated that Canadians have eaten enough Timbits to go to the Moon and back five times over the past half century.
But what is the history of the Timbit?
This is the story.

Men just never show up for women the way we do for men, including gay men. And I am asking you, sincerely, to please show up for these girls now. Use the Heated Rivalry fandom for good, make sure little Hollanders and Rosanovs get to play 💔

If you're fed up with foreign interference in our media, separatists funded by the US, etc, then this needs to pass. Contact your MP about this regularly. This is urgent.

This needs MASSIVE Coverage and got lost in all the news.

Israel has revoked the licenses of 37 international aid organisations, forcing them to stop operations in Gaza as of TODAY, due to new rules.

This video explains the side effects of this decision, and it is HORRIFIC.

I don’t want a single Liberal to excuse him from this responsibility. If he abdicates, we beat him with hockey 🏒 sticks.
The Alberta gov’t is using the notwithstanding clause to attack trans youth & the PM has the ability to stop it.

He has constitutional tools. If he refuses to use them, he is choosing political convenience over the safety & rights of trans kids.

I’ve written Mark Carney calling on him to act now.

36 years ago, 14 young Montreal women were murdered for one reason: They were women.

Misogyny & violence against women remain deeply rooted in our society. In the past year, there have been horrific attacks in BC that remind us how urgently we need to address this issue.

Mark Carney has allowed Donald Trump to sanction the Canadian ICC judge and it has made her life a living hell. Neither him nor @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social have said or done anything to help her. A pattern is forming of their abandonment of Canadians.

This is a superb video (it's talking heads, so you can treat it as an audiobook).

And while it is focused on the UK political, human, and environmental landscape, pretty much all of it is also true for Canada.

#CdnPoli #ClimateChange
This piece is about the UK, but seeing as Ireland is in the same region, it applies to us too. It is the best summary I've seen of what is already starting to happen, delivered by experts. A simple and stark warning about our changing climate.

I need 🇨🇦 women to pay attention after the announcement that Carney is cutting the WAGE ministry. We have warned everyone that this bill will be used to surveil and police women and now he is showing you who he is. Do not be complacent, we will end up like 🇺🇸 #Canadasky
Today we're releasing a joint letter signed by 160+ civil society groups, academics, and lawyers demanding full withdrawal of #BillC2.

This dangerous surveillance bill is anti-privacy, anti-rights, and anti-Canadian.

Let’s get into it. 1/7

Today is Doctor Who Day, which honours the day that Doctor Who premiered on the BBC in 1963.
The TARDIS, The Doctor and many other aspects of the show are thanks to its co-creator, Sydney Newman of Toronto.
