AGIs & vacancy decontrol on rents also increase homelessness. Ford has made it very clear what he thinks of anyone who is unhoused or renting: he claims it's their own fault.
As people struggle, he wastes money on spas, tunnel studies, fighting bike lanes, etc etc. etc.
Top Panel: Shows Gary (Jason Segel), Mary (Amy Adams), and the Muppet Walter standing together with concerned and slightly confused expressions. They are labeled "Boomers," "Gen Z," and "Gen Alpha," respectively. Bottom Panel: Shows a dramatic, low-angle shot of Kermit the Frog's silhouette as he walks forward, carrying a small bag. It is captioned: "Millennials coming to fix the computer."
Sorry but this is far too accurate
Can we spread this single piece of information around a bit, not just on Bluesky. Send a paper printout to your grumpy old 'net zero will make us all poor' Uncle, or Auntie.
Every trans suicide is murder. Do not ever fucking talk to me about "fairness in sports." Do not talk to me about Gavin Newsom. Nothing you have to say matters more than trans children living to adulthood.
so cool!! nice to see these conversations leave the conversational space and be somewhere that's more easily linked to for discussion and sharing
I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened
Scoop from @jonthompson.bsky.social today. Is Doug Ford planning to axe elected public school boards in Ontario?
“These decisions are being made without our consultation and consent. For First Nations, sadly, this is the way the government works.”

I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.
It's funny that Czechia ended up in the Asia pool in the WBC but I also think it was for the best because American fans would absolutely not appreciate those dudes nearly as much as the Asian fans have (correctly) done.
When we say the Habs (23) and Wings (25) are fraudulent, it's because they both have less regulation wins than your Ottawa Senators (26)
Important, disheartening thread about how “science” can be weaponized to assert power over trans communities in the name of “evidence”.
I say this every year, but:
The uni students I'm teaching are thoughtful, intelligent, will make everything they encounter better.
With a new addition for 2026:
They deeply hate AI.
cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

holy shit
March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.
I can explain it right now tbh, they don't consider the rest of us human much less American. It's not national suicide, it is a family annihilation perpetuated by people who lied and grifted and stole they way into power and are using it to consolidate resources ahead of the climate catastrophe
Challenge for those who claim the stripper is only hanging out with me for the money: Explain how friendship works.
this has basically been my take for awhile - it's not just that everything is bad, it's that we have completely removed the concepts of quality, reliability, usefulness/utility of any kind, etc. from even the profit motive, and human workers and consumers are no longer even nominally important
Wild to see the Ottawa, Florida, Tampa Bay triangle and the Boston, Montréal, Detroit triangle given how the standings have played out thus far
In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
Schenn went from WPG to BUF!
*sends clip to all contending teams*
If the team goes and trades Cousins or Perron tomorrow for a 3rd, I can get behind the acquisition cost for Foegele even more! Allows Staios to not send a poor message to his team while not sacrificing the future even the disappointing season thus far.
The use of AI to identify targets (without subsequent specific human confirmation) should be considered a war crime.
And by that I don't mean "we should make a rule" I mean that straightforward application of the existing rules would tell you that it is a war crime.
New from me at TVO, arguing that convention centres are a colossal waste of money and whether Toronto attracts the annual conference of dental surgeons is simply not a pressing public policy matter. www.tvo.org/article/anal...
Would be sad unless a clear upgrade is coming in. One of the only prospects in the system with T9 skill, and such a great kid. #Sens
there have been too many urbanists (e.g., Keesmaat) who thought this logic also applied to NA and i don’t think it does as well. NA cities were built so that employment and activity were concentrated downtown; not necessarily true in hub-based models in Asia or more distributed land uses in Europe
what are ‘active clubs’?
“Active clubs tend to be male-focused groups that promote white supremacist ideals...
these groups are not a singular movement. They are part of a decentralized white supremacist and neo-Nazi network.”
This is INCREDIBLE.
