Billionaires shouldn’t exist for the same reason kings shouldn’t exist.
Right wing media will breathlessly talk about the Tumbler Ridge shooter’s gender, but won’t say a single word about mental health, guns, policing or internet radicalization. There is no tragedy they won’t exploit to smear the trans community.

The response to the #TumblerRidgeShooting from far-right media, online commentators and even an elected official in Canada is another dark example of how pervasive anti-trans misinformation has become, even in Canada.

Team Trump really doesn’t want to talk about the Epstein files. This is the inherent weakness of fascists. They can never admit wrong doing or apologize for anything, because it shows weakness, and so the only move they can make is denial and dismissive bluster.

It feels apt to invoke the “voting is like taking a bus, not choosing a soul mate” analogy. Choose the option that gets you closer to where you want to be, even when there isn’t a direct route.

You've probably heard by now that the Conservative Party convention voted to keep Pierre Poilievre on as their leader.
What you may not have heard about, however, is the *other* stuff the delegated voted on over the weekend.
Some of it is...predictable. But some of it is downright concerning:

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

If the data from the Canadian census (which collects info about transness) is representative of the proportion of the population that is trans in the UK, that’s an overrepresentation by a factor of about 24.
This means that 🇬🇧 trans kids are 24x more likely to end up dead by suicide than cis kids.

Between April 2019 and March 2025, 107 of the 647 children who died by suicide in England were LGBTQ+.
Forty-six of these children were trans – seven per cent of all children who died by suicide.

There's a massive food recall (including Cheerios, how I found out) yet the only news article I can find about it is on People dot com. What is going on?
Pringles, Nutella, Cheerios Among Thousands of Products Recalled for Exposure to Rodent Waste
The company is urging consumers who purchased the affected products to “destroy the products as soon as possible,” per the recall announcement
