heated rivalry becoming a mass cultural phenomenon seems to give some strong evidence for the thesis that it's not that contemporary audiences are anti-sex in media, it's that they're mostly tired of or bored of heterosexuality

the caq has been enshittifying us since they got elected: rising rents, healthcare access, out-of-province tuition hikes, hijab bans... soraya will definitely make things worse, but I find it frustrating how long people have been accepting this shit instead of doing prientemps érable 2.0
Is Montreal on the cusp of enshittification?
“At a certain point, our politicians are going to have to realize that speaking French alone isn’t going to cut it. Montreal needs to be a city with purpose.”

From a historical perspective, following an overwhelmingly boring election, Montreal might be on the cusp of enshittification.

very thorough coverage of the last week of the dulf trial - I wish I was in bc and could support from the courtroom, but michelle gamage's coverage is the next best thing. really thankful for all the experts testifying.
Former chief coroner Lisa Lapointe characterized the province’s response to death panel recommendations about the overdose crisis as “extremely frustrating.”

I’ve lost count of how many “What’s going around, we’re all sick over here?” posts.
What’s going around is the “find out” phase of the pandemic, and it isn’t pretty. It’s bloody terrifying to see what widespread immune dysfunction looks like, and I fear this is but the tip of the iceberg.
