Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

Kamala Harris: It is about reminding folks that we refuse to kneel at the foot of a tyrant. That's not what we do. We stand for the principles upon which our nation was founded. We believe in the power of the vote, and we are prepared when necessary to fight fire with fire.

I will go on to say - I am watching this lack of communication/policy very closely in the leadership race - we can't continue on this path with the new leader.

Respectfully, as a 20+ year supporter - your messaging can't simply be this. We don't support cuts. YEAH? AND WHAT ELSE? This is what is missing from the NDP and why people were too scared to support it in last elxn. It's either a comms issue or there's nothing behind these slogans - which is it?

Just got my negatives back from my latest roll of manually guided film astrophotography. For some reason trying to post these pics on the bird app got my account locked and labeled for "inauthentic behavior." Hard to get more authentic #astrophotography than manually guided #film.

Watermelon aurora - sandwiched green and red colors - is now fully outside the camera field of view in Maine. These pillars are reaching high into the sky and could be seen from states further south when looking north. Take a test shot with your camera.

If cabinet is hoping the guy who wrote the fascist playbook will give advice on stopping fascism then we are in trouble.
Adorno reminds us that clever people were the first to be suckered by the fascist playbook because they thought they could outsmart it.
There is nothing hidden in their plan.

Fucking weird choice, Carney. This guy is obviously a straight-up fascist who deserves no time. You can interview him and other fascists about trade policy, I guess, but bloody hell, a Cabinet meeting? Please @mark-carney.bsky.social

Ya, I've seen them do that before. At private events, taking pictures of people and posting them without consent and without blurring faces. I asked them to remove one I was in before. Zero respect.

This is exactly why MAGA’s reckless rhetoric is dangerous. Robert Malone, a member of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, published a meme-filled blog post loaded with violent imagery aimed at government officials.

Bonnie Critchley doesn’t miss a thing! Not only does she know a lot about her neighbours, she also knows a lot about how Poilievre operates. This is her statement about Poilievre who sounds desperate & up to his old tricks again! #cdnpoli

Super great news! I'd like them to firm up their other offers. I'd rather have some mid players signed on for a year or two, then a revolving door of players.

I also can't shirk the feeling that something isn't right with the Coach and/or GM. Bad relations b/w them and/or players?

Every summer, the Winnipeg Fringe Festival draws in performers from around the world to show off their stories.

This year, The Auntie Show, written by Jo MacDonald, is the only Indigenous play that made it through the lottery.

POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.

Ottawa fans, this is the one you were waiting for, as the team has signed Rory Guilday to a three-year contract.
