Ah I'm now realizing I should have just used this as my #NewToBluesky introductory post...
This is Aldo. He is a good boy. But also... a bad boy. 13/10

"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

Storage (in increasingly angrier shades of yellow): I am 98% full and 97% of it is seemingly identical sunset photos all taken within the last 6 months since you moved to Vancouver.
Me: Hmm, yes, I see. Thank you. But also this one has fireworks.

While this cartoon is probably referencing a particular activist group in the UK, it tends to hold true for others, protesting different issues non violently around the world.

There is only one possible ending to this story, and sports aren't the last chapter. I guarantee that if you haven't lost five decades of rights in two weeks, you have no idea what this feels like, so I'm begging you: protect trans kids right now with everything you've got.

"we’re asking our cultural institutions to carry an incredible load—educate the public, preserve heritage, support reconciliation, welcome tourists, keep up with technology—all while dealing with underfunding, burnout, and aging infrastructure. And through all that? They keep showing up." 👏🏻🛠️✨
When studies show nine out of ten Canadians say museums matter – why don’t we fund them like they do?

Turns out, judges agree.
Tariffs are taxation without representation. We wrote a whole Declaration of Independence about it. Threw tea in the harbor and everything.
