Mark Carney has: -scrapped consumer carbon tax -scrapped oil/gas emissions cap -cut $1.3B from environment Canada -weakened industrial carbon pricing -axed 2 billion trees program -approved 1M barrels/day pipeline -weakened greenwashing laws While this is happening:

not sure how the public is served by a vapid lament for the loss of that "carefree feeling that summer once was" but treating it as a regrettable unattributed phenomenon is certainly a favour to the petrostate.

We've survived the entirety of human history without data centres. We can't survive more than a few days without clean drinking water.

just said this on another post but it bears repeating: the thing about continuing to give money to any jk rowling properties or the nyt is not that they’re shitty about trans people, which they are. it is that both of these entities MATERIALLY CONTRIBUTE to the legal challenges to trans rights

if only there was a symbol to denote the element, 'Potassium' the steadfast letter K:

I want to emphasize: When I say "no" I mean no. If you're buying like, merch from some seller whose money doesn't go directly to JKR, you're still supporting Harry Potter. Every cis person who gives themselves permission to still consume this IP makes it appear okay to others. Stop it. Cut it out.

There is no non-complicit enjoyment of Harry Potter, in 2026. Every time you stream a Harry Potter movie or buy one of her books, etc., you are helping her campaign to end trans lives, full stop.

it’s never a great sign for your society when all the competent people who believe in doing a good job for the sake of it conclude that they’re actively being punished for these qualities, while malignantly stupid criminals are making bank

Anyway, shoutout @puzzmo.com , an app that also has good word games and whatnot that isn’t referenced by name in legislation pushing trans people out of public life

Canadian arts and culture folks: the federal government has launched a (methodologically flawed) survey on "the Cultural Sector's readiness for Artificial Intelligence". If you're ready to resist or refuse genAI, here's your chance to let them know. pch.research-recherche.ca/f/s.aspx?lan...

just heard about kavinsky's passing & remembered this lupe fiasco track over 'nightcall' and the final line, referencing an earlier plan to speak in opposites as a form of code: "i'll never see you again, i hate you so much."

Tim Hortons announced a collaboration with "Harry Potter" this week and that certainly is ... a choice

Tim Hortons and the no good very bad ‘Harry Potter’ collaboration | Xtra Magazine

Tim Hortons licensing “Harry Potter” in 2026 essentially means directly funding J.K. Rowling’s anti-trans crusade

It's compelling!

“Ultimately, Magic Mike XXL isn’t a hero’s journey, because it doesn’t believe in heroes... Instead of heroes, sexy dancing. Instead of telling the story of why the king is the king, sexy dancing” How have we had weeks of Odyssey discourse without citing this @hellafitzgerald.bsky.social banger?

The quintessential stripper road trip film both follows and transcends Joseph Campbell’s traditional Hero’s Journey

💯I wish people would stop trying to reason with these people or even 'debate them' because if you speak to anyone woman who has ever been an athlete, she'll tell you that our sports, even as children! get fewer resources, less practice time, shittier coaching, etc. They DGAF about us.

Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social · last wk.

I have no patience for the argument that anti-trans bigots care about protecting women and girls and women’s and girls’ sports. The conservative agenda is to destroy our autonomy and our equal opportunities. This is not a secret. It is the entire point.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some meant to but wind up in gorilla masks instead. Thank you to Joyce Kozloff and all the other Guerrilla Girls, whether or not you ever come forward. What you did was so, so important.

Every now and then, it’s worth saying what ought to be obvious: trans people have always existed, and will exist as long as humans do. They’ve not done anything wrong by wanting their existence recognised, supported, and celebrated. The transformation of their existence into “an issue” is evil.

Also: I guarantee you have some ingrained misogyny that you haven't examined. So do I, in fact! It doesn't mean you're evil, it's simply an unavoidable consequence of living in a culture so tied to misogyny. Best to accept that you're gonna slip up and work on issues as you notice them.

Just a casual reminder: if people opposing misogyny makes you feel targeted as a man, it’s likely because you’ve got some misogyny that you think is something else. It’s probably affixed to some aspect of your masculinity in a way you think is normal or even inherent. But it’s just misogyny.

The world wants to do more with Canada. Our MOU with Alberta will unlock those opportunities in energy — and create lasting benefits for Canadians.

A lot of people thought that "video evidence" would show the world what cops are like. Well, we are awash in video. We know what cops are like. And.

Jesus But apparently we need more pipelines and data centres.

People are fleeing burning towns & the now normalized "wild fire season" while the provincial & federal governments destroy climate protection & sell out to tech & extraction industries to make the rich, richer while human & non human life is irrevocably destroyed. Death merchants, all of them.
