How does shredding our Charter of Rights reduce your rent, your cost of groceries, it doesn't. It's a grab for more power by one man that talks like Donald Trump. A dangerous, angry, hateful career politician. #NeverCPC

This might be the most beautiful, tragic, and insightful piece I've read about the US.

Good interview to share with Americans still not getting it. While some of the points made by @stephenmarche.bsky.social may be a bit hard to hear or sound overblown to some, the directness and clarity was refreshing. His statements largely represent my views. youtu.be/3c55rUOHjdY?...

The timeless genius of a 1980s Atari developer and his swimming salmon masterpiece Doctors said he’d die by 13, but Bill Williams turned long odds into iconic art about endurance.

Salmon Run for the Atari 800 served as a powerful metaphor for life itself, one that resonates even more deeply when you learn about the creator's own struggles with cystic fibrosis.

Update on this story:

The Canadian Broadcasting Standards Council has issued a statement announcing it can no longer accept emails about CTV Your Morning and Rachel Gilmore due to receiving a β€œlarge number of complaints”

I can't post a horny toad without a shoutout to this delightful @rosemarymosco.com comic because it lives in my head forever now

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

We're not done yet | 18F

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

In what universe does the audience of NPR represent useful influence? This is already out of your control (see C-SPAN). The CBC and you should be ashamed of normalizing this offensive idea.

Jagmeet Singh's graceless statement in response to Justin Trudeau's resignation demonstrated why he will never be a statesman.

Reform of the state has to deliver for people Speech on reforming the public sector delivered by the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Pat McFadden at University College London, Stratford.

Great language in this recent speech from Rt. Hon. Pat McFadden MP, the most senior minister in the Cabinet Office after the PM:

"You cannot kill complexity with cleverness. We can’t figure it all out at the start, and then set the delivery train running."

People with influence really need to start calling out the lies and disinfo by the CPC leader and his buddies. They're messing with people's heads - and traditional journalism won't or can't seem to set the record straight. Hate the PM if you like, but Sloganman is NOT the remedy.
