Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7mo agoit's bizarre to see both CNN and CNBC run with chyrons reporting that Trump said he won't "use force" to take Greenland, when the comments in question were clearly a threat to take Greenland by force. How naive are we at this point?
If I walk up to you with hammer and say “I could break your knees if you don’t give me $20 but I won’t,” would you feel relieved that I’d ruled out breaking your knees?
Hi hello, the Toronto Sun's email is torsun.editor@sunmedia.ca in case you'd like to inquire as to how they feel about their Ottawa Bureau Chief making these kinds of statements about innocent women being shot by militarized thugs in the street! Let's make his weekend extra fun :)

If there is an accommodation so desirable that a problematic number of people are “faking” disability (doubt!!) to access it, that shows it’s an accommodation that could have wide social benefit is implemented in abundance. This is often the case with accommodations generally.
Having to identify oneself as disabled to access accommodations is, on its own, a huge barrier to getting many disabled people the accommodations they need.

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity. "What service is Microsoft providing?" Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.
Julia Carrie Wong@joolia.bsky.social · last yr.Israel is using Microsoft Azure to store recordings of every phone call made by Palestinians in the occupied territories, then using AI to analyze the contents and select targets. Microsoft is (dubiously) claiming ignorance.

There is a 1.2 million-person armed militia with active ties to white supremacist groups, no legal obligation to protect people + a frequent blank check to brutalize, intimidate, and even kill ordinary members of the public and saying this shouldn't exist is considered insanely fringe and radical
People’s City Council - Los Angeles @pplscitycouncil.bsky.social · last yr.WATCH: after we got shot last night, our comrade/lawyer @shakeer.bsky.social went over to ask for the pigs badge # & name. LAPD pig Rick Linton then told (& did) Shakeer that he was going to shoot if he kept asking questions. This is unhinged behavior! @mayor.lacity.gov has completely ok’d this!
Microsoft is trying to convince the public there’s nothing wrong with how Israel is using its tech or the fact it’s supplying an apartheid state with that tech at all, while stifling internal dissent. Probably a good moment to remind people BDS is calling for a boycott of Game Pass.
