Of course our radio talk show Premiere wants to resume trade talks with the US, she’s desperate to be an American but too gutless to just move there and spare the rest of us. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Premier Danielle Smith hopes federal negotiators will return to the table after the collapse of trade talks in Washington triggered a 50 per cent tariff on Canadian exports. But she also said that the...

It’s literally impossible for Rowling to reconcile the global harm that she’s done to the trans community. There aren’t enough years left in her moldering body.
Transgender World@transgenderreport.com · 2d agoJK Rowling issues surprising message of support for trans adults www.lgbtqnation.com/... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA
I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

It’s mind boggling that so many people wave this kind of thing off and then do the same thing for every one of his atrocities.
Dr Adam Levy@climateadam.bsky.social · 7d agoRemember when the president of the United States of America said "quiet piggy" to a female reporter and then the world just moved on because he did like a million other unthinkable things?
If you live in a city you shouldn't have to own a car.
The state of the world before Trump lead to our present moment. Going back to that world means inevitably going back to Trump.
Micah@rincewind.run · 2w agoTrump is normal politics to them! this has been their whole life! and frankly they have no reason to believe in the pre-Trump world if it led to this
Deeply disappointing to see an organization like @amnesty.org cave on this. Not even sure what to think about them going forward. Feels so hollow.

A future not filled with trans, nonbinary, and new forms of gender expression is literally unbelievable. This wasn’t even the case in the past. youtube.com/shorts/MSldA...

Old news is good news. We need this kind of work in Alberta.

Once you have a lot of money it becomes easier to get more money by doing nothing, which disincentivizes work. This is why all our billionaires post insane bullshit all day. If they had to work they'd be too busy to act like this, doubly benefiting society
Cheryl Reeve, winningest coach in WNBA history, defends transgender athletes against sports bans. “Exclusion is never the answer. Separate isn’t equal. Trans lives matter.” 💗🏳️⚧️💗🏀💗
For many years, people didn’t randomly film others in public—not because we didn’t have the technology, but because the social contract said you didn’t do that. That’s why Meta is going full court press on their PR and celebrity endorsements. They remember how people ran google glass outta town.
222,000 signatures is impressive. It's still lower than the original threshold set by the Kenney government. Not to mention time frame and regional requirements. Key takeaway: without Danielle Smith's rule changes, the separatist petition would have failed.
Uncontrolled AI is a threat to our jobs, our environment, and our communities. Canadians across the political divide know this, and that’s why they’re fighting back. The public must assert its role in the technologies shaping our lives, and draw hard lines where AI causes nothing but harm.
Yep we need to die in this hill. Intentionally misgendering someone is transphobic, doing to repeatedly in a workplace is harassment.
Dan Sohege@danielsohege.bsky.social · last mo.Good. Look, if it is a genuinely honest error, most people I know, including myself, aren't going to make a fuss beyond maybe a gentle clarification first time. If people wilfully misgender trans and non-binary individuals though they absolutely should face misconduct proceedings.
At this point I think Trump’s obsession with trans people is cracking more eggs than anything else on the internet.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Trump: "We had transgender for everybody. Men in women's sports came ravaging through our cities."
“These are books that have already fully discharged their financial obligation to their creators. […] It is the completion of a book’s lifecycle: from tree to knowledge to tree again.” The banality of evil on display is staggering.
Emanuel Maiberg@emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social · last mo.companies are sourcing millions of printed books for AI labs that scan them for training data, then destroy them. printed books are more valuable because they're free of AI slop, and AI labs know destroying them is an "optics problem." www.404media.co/ai-companies...
Sport is unifying. Everyone should get to play, especially when there are people telling you not to.
Kyle Goon@kylegoon.bsky.social · last mo.In February, USA Rugby banned trans women from all levels of one of the world’s most inclusive sports. What happened next was telling. Across the country, teams refused to comply. The story of the Baltimore Ferals, who are pushing back: www.thebanner.com/sports/rugby...
This idiot has probably never been to the BOREAL FOREST a day in his life. It is 5.5 times the size of Texas. You cannot "groom" it. It's burning because of climate change. The utter bullshit from these climate deniers. Canadians are sick of this bullying and they are not going to take it.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Rep. Jeff Van Drew: "Canada isn't working because they are so far left. This should be a warning shot to them. You better come to America, say, 'We're sorry, we're gonna mend our ways and do what we used to do and groom and maintain the forest.'"

Idaho pushed anti-trans laws for years. Then a teen died.
The life and death of May Pollard, 16, provides a window into the tragic effect that legislation and political rhetoric have had on trans people in America.

Weird that we name bridges, highways, parks, buildings, ships, ports and more after people, but not oil pipelines. Do people not want pipelines named after themselves? I think we should try it out on this one. Call it the Mark Carney Decarbonized Oil Expressway.
Matthew Yglesias believes in nothing. He's a soulless husk of a human being who puts his finger in the air to determine what position he'll take on any given issue. It's precisely that kind of valueless political posturing that voters often reject.
I can think of a few MLAs that I’d like to see face some consequences for their bigotry.

Incredibly brazen for the Prime Minister to boast about the “lasting benefits” of expanding fossil fuel production on a day like today. Record-breaking heatwaves. Toxic smoke engulfing cities and towns. Out of control wildfires forcing entire communities to evacuate. /1
Mark Carney@mark-carney.bsky.social · last mo.The world wants to do more with Canada. Our MOU with Alberta will unlock those opportunities in energy — and create lasting benefits for Canadians.
Remind me why Albertans should be fighting to remain part of this busted ass country?
Rachel Gilmore@rachelgilmore.bsky.social · last mo.Got upset and made this so hopefully people will actually listen. What the fuck are we doing here folks?
