This is bad and annoying. Hypercapitalist tech bro response to the climate crisis.

Daughter of Robin Williams, Zelda Williams 💔

Steve Magness also has some great videos on this. Super practical advice, and usually preceded by 15 minutes of context and physiology that even those of us without a sports science or coaching background can follow.

This is really one of those two red button meme situations where I want to be annoyed at both right wing grifters and a traffic violation system that prioritizes profit over safety

A reminder that Gaza (2023-2025) is the deadliest place for Journalists in history 👇

Intensely jealous to have missed these shows, but also grateful and reassured that they happened.

"All this to say, things can be low key and fun and important, even as the world at large seems so fucked up."

$575 million. Or, community connections funding to the year 2961 AD

"I have no regrets at all"

Irish comedian Tadhg Hickey sends a message from the Global Sumud Flotilla.

Cool and good

Sweet relief, two months on. No thanks to the absentee landlord we tracked down six weeks ago who swore it wasn't coming from his house.

Exactly, how much did the RCMP cost per person last year? Why are they not making a profit? Or the Canadian military, stop talking about the Canada Post as a for profit entity, it is a national service. Also let it expand into banking and financial services (as a co-op) and other sectors (grocery?)

“It makes me nervous when people stand right by the edge on a busy road"

This feels like some pretty egregious victim blaming from Janice Lukes.

Whenever a pedestrian is killed it's immediately "were they jaywalking?" No? Well maybe they shouldn't have been standing there, at the bus stop.

Shoutout to the guy at the farmers' market a street over playing The Hip covers while I work late.

It's literally only newsworthy because it validates our fears of people in the suburbs being victimized by people in the North End (which gets a weird and unnecessary callout here)

Maybe the lesson should instead be that wealthy people shouldn't sit on vacant property in a housing crisis?

I don't know why this is getting more coverage, especially without comment from anyone except the property owner. The story is he destroyed a forest and tore down buildings that were damaged after he abandoned them.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

I know three things about Harry Styles:

1. He sings Watermelon Sugar
2. He's a fan of Haruomi Hosono
3. He's now run a sub 3 marathon

Based on these facts, one can only respect the man

Public comms on vaccine availability in #Manitoba is definitely lacking this year, but appointments in various pharmacy online platforms are starting to pop up. Some out there for shoppers, too.

On this very rainy weekend in Winnipeg, I’m thinking about how great it would be for our storm sewers, cyclists and pedestrians if we had bioswales throughout the city to absorb the water.

Remember when Matt Wiebe promised "These new (officers) will reduce demands on police resources and will significantly improve (the) ability to stop dangerous people from hurting Manitobans"?

Spending on criminalization only leads to more spending on criminalization.

this is the kind of thing that makes you feel something needs to be done about the notwithstanding clause

AI is bad for a lot of reasons, but what's currently annoying me is how bad it's made the internet for research. Want a summary of the most basic common knowledge on a topic? Great! Want anything more? You'll have to wade knee deep in swill before giving up and paying for access or opening a book.

Respectfully disagree: 1) in fact it is unusual for a democracy w/ this level of GDP to turn authoritarian & so quickly; 2) the weakness of both institutions (congress & courts) and individuals (Schumer etc) is shocking. Would take less than 10 people in congress or 2 SC justices to stop all this.

Defined loosely enough that protests against genocide could be restricted, but antivax protests are fine (which the Freep uses as an example regardless)
