where are people getting the idea that its either "supporting trans rights" or "continuing democracy". what kind of democracy do they want to live in. where "politically inconvenient" groups get thrown to the wolves every two to four years? doesnt sound good to me. why would you want that

Essentially, the "it's okay to be thin" opinion pieces aren't about giving people permission to feel how they feel about their bodies. They're about reassuring people that their desire to be thin isn't the result of a profound, ubiquitous cultural bias against fatness & bigotry toward fat people.

“I don't think we're asking for anything unreasonable here,” said Jacob Tierney. Brendan Brady told platforms to “stop acting like it's going to be a negative.”

baffling that the media isn’t making more of an issue out of how carney is gutting key federal agencies/depts and what that’s going to mean for gov capacity when we’re supposed to be more independent and capable.

Super glad Mark Carney laid off 1,400 food inspectors today.
There's a massive food recall (including Cheerios, how I found out) yet the only news article I can find about it is on People dot com. What is going on?

And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."

We already know there’s US money funding the Alberta sovereignty movement. Members of the Trump administration are making it clear that pushing Alberta secession is part of their fascist project.
Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

i wish mark carney would speak like this when he’s challenged about the latest aggressive action from the US instead of just in big speeches in front of international audiences
Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.
Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.
Hoping that @molly.wiki can help explain.
