Made it to Friday but at what cost

premeditated mass murder by policy, committed by Premier Doug Ford and the government of Ontario

His CaptinCanada $200 cheque works for the 20% and they vote for their hero, while they blame PMMC for all the destruction. #EducationMatters 🍁

Michael Ford says he’s giving ‘serious consideration’ to Toronto mayoral run Michael Ford, a former Toronto city councillor and MPP who is the nephew of Ontario Premier Doug Ford, says he’s seriously considering tossing his hat in the ring to become the city’s next mayor.

This idiot could not even handle his own portfolio in Doug Fords cabinet 🤣🤣 #Nope

Conservative Windsor MPP says they have to cut OSAP or else they’ll “run out of money.”

Next day Ford is announcing an artificial island.

“No you don’t understand, if we don’t cut OSAP we can’t build the artificial island!!”

Is that where they’ll put everything they dig out to make the tunnel under the 401? Or Ontario’s zip line to Mars? Or the bridge to Jupiter? Or maybe the pipeline to harvest the sun directly? Every idea coming from Ford is deranged because none of them is real - they’re just a cover for stealing $

I reluctantly repost this.

We need to know the White House's glee at death and destruction.

@drewharwell.com is doing a good job of reporting it. Worth a follow.

Way ahead of you

Liberals to cut CBC by $192-million in 2026-27 This year’s estimates include $1.38-billion in funding for the CBC, representing a marked decrease from the $1.58-billion allotted to the public broadcaster during the 2025-26 fiscal year.

Mark Carney campaigning in April 2025:

"When we compare ourselves to the U.K., France or Germany, we see that our public broadcaster is underfunded. That has to change. We expect that in the coming years, we will continue to increase that funding...”

Mark Carney now:

Carney *explicitly campaigned* on increased funding for the CBC. Just a straight up lie.

OpenAI CEO expressed 'horror and responsibility' over ChatGPT's ties to Tumbler Ridge, AI minister says | CBC News Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon says OpenAI's CEO agreed to let Canadian experts into its safety office to help evaluate future threats following the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C.

This is what regulatory capture looks like. Altman doesn't have to make his own apologies; he has the minister do it for him, after a half-hour video call. Embarrassing. www.cbc.ca/news/politic... #CdnPoli

You see the black label at the bottom left? That’s Lebanon’s only airport. Dahieh borders it.

A few things I will remember John Tory for:

Violent, militarized encampment evictions.

Undermining local democracy by requesting 'Strong Mayor' powers from Doug Ford.

The failure of SmartTrack and the closure of the Scarborough LRT.

Denying shelter to refugees.

Lest we forget:

With Trudeau and Wynne, he helped launch Google and Sidewalk Labs‘ attempt to fully privatize the governance of Toronto’s Quayside. With glee!

The painting "Night in the Steppe" shows a vast plain under a bright full moon, the light being distributed over the landscape and the water in an almost magical way.

This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture.

We are in horrific times and missing voices and ways to speak to them. That Bluesky has effectively prevented vision impaired users from posting with the format of the draft option and not addressed this or acknowledged it is pretty miserable .

Timeline cleanse:
Baby tapir getting scritches for their itches.

If you want to scritch your very own tapir & you live outside of Central or South America or SE Asia, you'll need to visit a zoo.

But these little guys are (evolutionarily) from around here, in North America. Let's talk about it.

Pacific Ocean Floor by MARIE THARP, Bruce Heezan, and Heinrich Berann, *as published in* the National Geographic. There, fixed it.😉

Info panel showing a lass in a wheelchair about to get munched by a leviathan because she's too busy looking at a sperm whale.

God this is such a rookie error. Bluesky ALWAYS ALWAYS check there isn't a leviathan sneaking up behind you when you're booping a sperm whale

Excellent thread 🐈 😆

Women are underrepresented in economics. Our research is overlooked. Yet women economists disproportionately work on income support, tax policy, care, labour market inequality. We study the economy we actually live in. That's not a coincidence. Happy IWD to the women doing the work anyway. 🌹

Ending world hunger costs less than 1% of military spending Ending hunger by 2030 would cost just $93 billion a year — well under one per cent of the $21.9 trillion spent on military budgets over the past decade, according to UN estimates.

With the US military spending $1 billion a day on a pedophile's whims, remember that the UN estimates that it costs about $93 billion to end world hunger.

The *first* 93 days of this decade+ war, could be spent ending world hunger, if anyone in power actually wanted to

Konrad Yakabuski has made a lot of money calling for poor people in poor countries to be killed.

The Globe and Mail as an entity, too.

side by side pictures of Glenn Beck, Richard Branson, and Steven Bannon below a headline that says Pro-human AI declaration brings together unlikely group calling for trustworthy tech An eclectic group including Steve Bannon, Glenn Beck, Richard Branson, Ralph Nader, Susan Rice and Nobel Prize-winning economist Daron Acemoglu signed the letter.

They look like differently irradiated versions of the same guy
