Liberal MP Vince Gasparro might want to look up the Streisand Effect.

Zuck and Elon are running a fifth-column-esque demonstration that billionaires are not super geniuses that earned their wealth and power.

The Carney government is setting the stage for austerity. But we know: cuts don’t solve crises, they make workers pay the price. Adequate investment in public services is the only way forward.

Watch CLC’s Senior Economist @dtcochrane.bsky.social break it down: www.ctvnews.ca/video/2025/0...

Never forget that Carney used to work for a company that is desperate to hoover up privatized assets.

Carney must have skipped the day they taught public goods in Intro Econ.

For public infrastructure and services, can we start talking about how to design them to do what we need, what they can enable, how they can save households and the private sector money and create a level playing field ... instead of treating them like businesses (which they are not!)

Yes.

We’ve outsourced a vital piece of social infrastructure to a rapacious, enshittifying, American tech company owned by a mega-billionaire.

This is economic malfeasance.

Communication and goods delivery are public goods. They should never have been subject to market logic.

"Why do we need door-to-door delivery?" ask the people who expect a DVD, some deodorant and toilet cleaner delivered to their house within minutes of ordering it.

"Why do we need postal workers coming to our door?" ask the people complaining about a loneliness epidemic.

C'mon, y'all.

I got to weigh in on the PBO’s new deficit projection.

Long-story short: austerity is the wrong response and will only make things worse.

Dems: First they came for people not like me so I helped them.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

I know it is nitpicky, but Larry Ellison is not WORTH $392 billion.

Larry Ellison controls a $392 billion fortune.

He did not earn it. It posses a threat to the rest of us.

No one should have that much power.

Carney wants to kill Pharmacare through inaction. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

The pharmaceutical industry does essential work developing life-saving & improving medicines.

The pharmaceutical business sabotages industry to maximize its profits.

Defend the pharmaceuticals not Big Pharma.

The distinction between “business” and “industry” is useful to make sense of Trump’s unfounded claims about Tylenol and autism.

The people responsible for the bubble will almost certainly be lecturing the rest of us about why it’s our fault.

When the AI bubble bursts, can we all agree to never let Sam Altman utter another word in a public forum?

Bluesky is getting better as a platform for filtering news stories I want to see.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

I want an independent music and podcast player. I so often go to listen to something on my phone and the the next thing I know is I’m checking messages and Insta and …. 😩

Pathologizing people with autism is straight out of the Nazi playbook.

How many people watch Kimmel & Colbert when aired by licensed stations vs as clips on YouTube?

What would the revenue b/d be between the traditional and digital platforms?

Businesses won’t invest in productive capacity when there is so much uncertainty.
