For my first @spitfirenews.com piece, I investigated the tactics used to make stories and information disappear on social media platforms like Reddit. This piece is about Blake Lively, but it’s also about how to manipulate the masses about anything.

Honestly, this guy. He’s so upbeat, so genuine, so optimistic. A bridge-builder. And this video shot in the snow is visually stunning.

I received a response from Elections Canada over my call for an investigation into Elon Musk and the potential to use the X algorithm to interfere in our election.
Elections Canada has a voluntary code of good behaviour for platforms.
This is not good enough. Our democracy must be protected.

Surprise flowers are always a lovely treat 💜

Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.

A Letter from WIRED's Editor @katie-drummond.bsky.social:

Ever since Elon Musk backed Trump’s presidential bid last year, we've been tracking his growing influence in politics. We’ve talked to people within federal agencies and experts in cybersecurity, AI, and medicine about his potential impact.

why does canada's right always do a shitty version of what the U.S. does it's literally mortifying

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet:

You want to stop Donald Trump from trashing our nation? Shut down the MAGA Maple crowd in Canada - Pierre Poilievre, I'm looking at you.

We need to shut down any attempt by Elon Musk to monkey-wrench our election. We must defend Canada's democratic integrity.
Please write to Elections Canada calling on them to shut down interference by Musk's interference in the X algorithm.

I laid the wreathe for Canadians murdered by Nazis in the Abbaye d'Ardennes.
Our young lie in fields all over Europe.
They fought to free others from evil.
For Elon Musk to give the fascist salute and say it's time to "get over nazi guilt" - Fuck him.
And fuck those who say Canada should bend.

A bunch of losers went out and threw Nazi salutes in Alberta, Canada yesterday while holding racist signs.

Might be time for the media to stop calling them “hand gestures” and start reporting on this big fucking problem for what it is!

Elon literally visited a concentration camp and his takeaway is that “never forget” should become “move on already.”

Dark days, dude.

At least that photo is perfect.

In 2020, it became apparent that a lot of people had been asleep in science class.

Well, in 2025, it’s become quite apparent that they slept through history class, too.

Just remember kids this guy endorsed Pierre Poilievre and in response Pierre invited him to setup business in Canada. #cdnpoli #canadanews

Hey Ontario!

Never forget that Doug Ford gave $100 million of your hard earned tax dollars to a literal nazi instead of investing that money in Canadian built infrastructure.

Life is short. Write that novel. Paint that painting. Try new recipes. Learn black magic. Go into the forest at night. Summon a demon. Earn that demon's trust. Become best friends with it. Brag to everyone else about your new cool demon best friend. Knit that sweater.

Throwback to some calls I attended this year
