I want to give job advice to young adults on Bluesky who are entering the workforce for the first time:

If you see a basket on your boss' desk that says "signed NDAs go here," this is what we call a "red flag"

What you want to do is turn around, identify the nearest fire exit and run towards it

Imagine being 17, your little brother by your side, begging to speak to your dad as he’s dragged away. You may never see him again. And this is every day. Soul shattering, nightmarish stuff, never to be forgiven.

A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.

Really cool to see that Carney has done a sit-down interview with Bloomberg News — which just called Ontario a state and blamed Ontario for Trump's petty, insane chaos — and not to any of Canada's news networks, newspapers or other publications.

Weird coincidence: he's the company's former chair

They do not. Nobody taught me when I moved out 45 years ago. Nobody taught me 2 years ago when I replaced my 30 year old washer with a modern machine with a fuckton of programmes (it came with a manual?)

My mommy did almost everything for me until I moved out at 18. And yet I easily stepped into doing it all for myself.

The tasks don’t need to be taught. What needs to be taught is that it‘s your responsibility. If you don’t get that lesson along with the laundry lesson, it won’t take

In particular, they want leases to no longer necessarily remain in effect indefinitely, so that landlords have more options for creating tenant turnover.

Current situation in left-hand column, proposal on the right:
Left column: Under the RTA, all tenants have "security of tenure", which means that tenants have a right to remain in their rental unit as long as they follow the lease agreement and the RTA. Landlords cannot evict tenants without a legally valid reason, and after a fixed-term lease ends, the tenancy typically continues on a month-to-month basis. Right column: The government would consult on alternative options on lease agreement expiry that could allow landlords to control who occupies their units and for how long, allowing them to adjust tenancy arrangements based on market conditions, personal needs, or business strategies. This could add flexibility for some landlords in the approach to leases, potentially unlocking additional rental unit stock.

Alberta teachers saw their real salaries cut by 13.2% since the last contract started in Sept 2020--the worst in Canada. The Alberta government wants to lock in that pay cut by ordering teachers back to work. The teachers' position is 100% morally & economically valid. #canlab

The Conservatives have launched their Charlie Kirk imitation tour.
In a fluff piece, CBC casually mentions that it it supported by youth from a group demanding the forcible deportation of millions from Canada.
CBC presents it as "counter culture."
No.
That's hate.

This is where Canada is going too. We might not be at the killing stage yet, but there is no question that Carney is serving and strengthening predatory private powers.

"there is another, even more insidious way freedom can die for large parts of society: when the state is unable or unwilling to constrain predatory private powers . . . and the officials and politicians who go into business with them."

Huh. Sounds vaguely familiar.

“to father” “to mother”
Being used here as a verb.

But even as a noun, “father” describes both sperm donors and active parents. Which English dialect do you speak where this is not the case?

Let him talk about your attitude. Just look at him while he’s talking, say “ok” or “hmmm” at the end, maybe grunt if he’s especially obtuse.

And make your plans.

What that father did to be called a father? He fathered a child. It’s in our language. To father is to impregnate, to mother is to nurture.

Always ask a man what he means when he says he wants children.

I had to double-check the author's bio to make sure it was *that* Kate McKenna. I mean, if a demographic tells you they "feel" they are "the bottom rung in a hierarchy of identities" hired in a sluggish job market, you maybe take two minutes to verify or debunk the claim?

The dialogue is a whole other thing but the bit about "fuck you shoot me I'll die for this shit" and the reaction is the crux here, from Gandhi's time on down, no authoritarian in history ever knows how to respond to this and it's why it beats them whenever deployed

Manufacturing consent. Which Canadians say this? Experts? Public opinion polling? Loud voices? We don't make policy based on vibes and so including a vibes-based measure in a headline is journalistic malpractice.
