I HAVE BEEN SUBSIDIZING WALMART AND AMAZON STARVING THEIR EMPLOYEES FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE.
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 3d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Literally nothing Canada is doing on nuclear power makes any sense in 2026. It's all just expensive bullshit to distract from deploying solar & wind + batteries. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Canada built its nuclear industry on self-reliance. Its new reactors will depend on foreign fuel | CBC News
Canada built its nuclear industry around Candu reactors supplied by a made-in-Canada supply chain. Ontario is building, and other provinces are considering, SMRs that require foreign uranium enrichmen...

AI industry leaders want us to use more AI in BC. Shall we find out what industry leaders in the tobacco business want for us next?
Castanet.net@castanet.net · 4d agoPoll: How often do you use AI tools?
I agree strongly with this -- in that difficult moment, the possibility of collective effort was conceivable. Not everybody felt it, but many did. I think the political class did not like this one bit.
Dave Andress@davidandress.bsky.social · 4d agoCovid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.
It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6d ago"You had the courage ... the courage to undertake Epic Fury. It takes guts" -- Pete Hegseth is doing tricks on that thing
This is what "both sides" journalism has wrought. A complete inability for journalists to simply state clear and obvious facts that are supported by reams of research. This is not a debate. There are not two sides. Bike infrastructure and traffic calming make streets safer.
The War on Cars@thewaroncars.bsky.social · 7d agoIt's not just advocates who say this. Researchers, studies, and data say it. That's why advocates say it. Reporters can just say it, too!
As a huge Raptors fan I am begging on my hands and knees for @pablo.show to chill out. Take a vacation. Can you just once, not find out?

Billionaire logic is that it makes more sense to terraform Mars rather than to stop venusifying Earth, and that it is a better strategy to build underground bunkers than to make the whole planet a better place to live for everyone.
And also, that was their entire political identity. "I can say and do and support bad things because i'm on the good side"
Yes this is why libs hate the left so much. They were under the impression that they were the good guys this whole time.
The Rooster@rooster.info · 2w agoThey resent Mamdani in large part for the cognitive dissonance they feel for being a lot more conservative than they are comfortable admitting to their friends on the cocktail circuit.
When you are super confident in your posts you make it so no one can reply…Can you show me the DSA link that lays out this agenda or are you just a stupid motherfucker who loves to lick boots?
Langdon Grant@langdongrant.bsky.social · 2w agoAlso: 8. Open borders/no immigration controls or enforcement; and 9. Cut off aid to Ukraine and leave it to the tender mercies of Putin’s butchers.

JStar@jstar2.bsky.social · 2w agoThey can troll and QT me all day long. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.
Do not indulge this centrists humiliation fetish.
JStar@jstar2.bsky.social · 2w agoIt's Left-MAGA. No doubt.
As moral citizens, at moments like this we ask ourselves WWWAD? (What would weird al do?)
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoMark Carney on Trump's new tariffs against Canada: "We're ready ... we're a reliable partner in a world that's anything but. So we're diversifying our partnerships abroad."
So Weird Al turned down an AI ad and also the Riyadh comedy festival and the lesson is Weird Al has more integrity than the vast majority of entertainers triblive.com/aande/music/...
‘Weird Al’ Yankovic gets Bigger & Weirder in a tour headed to Pittsburgh

ESA@mumeli.bsky.social · 2w agoTry finding your county party, and approach the *volunteers* already working there with curiosity and not judgment. Should be an entirely different experience. If it’s not find out how you can help them and change things.
USDOT pulls down more bike lane web info, saying "This is a common sense approach despite the Left's belief that everyone should ride a bike to their shoebox-sized apartment to eat crickets to achieve a phony climate agenda." If you hate bike lanes, you ride with Trump. www.npr.org/2026/07/23/n...
DOT cranks up its campaign to strip bike lane references from federal websites
Transportation officials have removed a growing list of safety materials that mention bike lanes from federal websites. Safety advocates warn that's undermining proven measures for reducing crashes.

Paul van der Meer@paulvandermeer.bsky.social · 2w agoKetamine Boy totally goes insane because there's a black character in a movie.
this is how dumb you sound, democrats, when you accept the absurd premise that this is an issue that you need to campaign on
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump: "We had transgender for everybody. Men in women's sports came ravaging through our cities."
People who have money have a disproportionate ability to silence their critics — especially in Alberta. But several journalists (including me) are joining forces with digital media creators, writers, civil society, unions, academia and lawyers to try to change that. Here's how.
