if you’re happy AND you know it? in this economy?!

The Trump regime has made explicitly clear that they view info-ops in target countries as a key tool of influence. With that in mind, any serious defence of Canadian sovereignty has to grapple with American oligarchs owning major Canadian media outlets.

NEW from me: I took a deep dive for @ricochetmedia.bsky.social into the American hedge fund-owned Canadian newspaper chain that’s pushing anti-trans, pro-genocide and climate science denial narratives down our throats. ricochet.media/media/dumpst...

authors you should absolutely quote post this with your fall releases, I am finding out about so many cool titles that I hadn't heard about

I say again, "These surveillance regimes will not keep you or your children safe because they are actively preying on you": Rather than the predators, people focus on rigidly controlling children's ability to explore the world, from no third spaces to tracked online life,thus making Them targetable

Achai@achai.bark.how · 2w ago

the push for ID checks online is designed to make children easier to target; Meta is one of the companies lobbying for these types of legislation. the whole idea is to continue to target children as a lucrative market by assuring parents that giving children unmanaged tablets is safe.

We are not angry enough about this You, individually, might be But WE, as a society, are plagued by apathy and Carney & other conservative politicians are taking advantage of that apathy to speed us toward our demise so they can line their pockets

JFC no wonder I'm so stressed out all of the time I'm in Toronto and in a *good* year my spouse and I make $60,000 less than that *together* ...and we've had one good year since 2020

Victoria has Canada's highest price of happiness at $169,951 CAD a year, narrowly ahead of Vancouver and Toronto, which tie at $166,982.

I am still utterly gobsmacked by companies who want to pass themselves off as author-centric thinking that being "AI"-friendly is a good thing. Even the *perception* of being "AI"-friendly is enough to make actual authors avoid your services like the plague.

🌟 new review! 🌟 I finished this wonderful dark tale a while ago and finally got around to scribble down a few words about it. A really wonderful dark fantasy/horror with very intriguing lore! Definitely tickled my folklore bones 🖤 www.karenlykkebo.com/post/your-bl... 📚💙

Your Blood and Bones (2023)

A mesmerizing dark fantasy (horror?) of dark magic, slow changes, and a will to survive.
