Call the piece of legislation that ultimately abolishes ICE the Pretti-Good Act

First they came for the immigrants, and few did anything. Then they murdered a woman in her car and called her a terrorist. Then they murdered a man. Then they arrested a 5-year old. Then they arrested 100 clergy. Then they murdered another man and called him a terrorist. We know how this poem ends.

The unbridled unjustified violence. The incompetence. The impunity. The bald-faced lies. The victim-blaming. The inhumanity. I expected and feared this would come. I fear what comes next. The only way forward is steadfast solidarity against the meat grinder of fascism. Stay safe my friends.

A reminder that @sarahkendzior.bsky.social wrote two whole books warning about this exact thing happening, and people ignored her. I very much want to know what she thinks is going to happen over the next 2-4 years.

Fellow authors, have you signed on to the Anthropic class action? If so, what do you expect to see in payouts after the lawyers and publishers have carved out their share?

call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

For the 2nd day of 2026, my wife, our 9-year-old, and I are exercising the age-old tradition of travel limbo courtesy of weather and @lufthansagroup.bsky.social. Here's the story so far:

The pay-to-enter Vancouver Christmas Market becomes all the more petty when you see what free European Christmas Markets look like. This is "Vinterland" outside the parliament building in Oslo on Christmas Day.

I think these two talks by @mor10.com are excellent for framing how we think about “AI” in a more human-empowered way. Healthy skepticism in it, understanding how it works, and using the right words. youtu.be/PvBJh_Qj0yM?...

Technology is a choice. So is how we talk about it. Let's choose language that describes AI as assistive technology we use (or don't use) to help us flourish. Welcome to my #TEDxSurrey talk: youtu.be/yjLsHD9IzIA?...

Violently stupid, violently dangerous; Trump's Kakistocratic government and their supporters are Vibe Governing based on far-right conspiracy theories and anti-science idiocy. Autism isn't caused by Tylenol. This incompetence should be cause for immediate disbarment. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sues Tylenol makers over autism claims

He accuses them of hiding alleged dangers from the drug, following the Trump administration's unproven claim it is linked to autism.

Why are some people entrenched in ideas you find puzzling? Why do they think your ideas are bizarre? Information bubbles! And algorithms! My new book for kids--and adults!--explains it all, with humour. It drops Nov 11. Pre-order today! @jandolby.bsky.social @owlkids.bsky.social @mor10.com

Is anyone running year-over-year stats on international attendance at big US tech conferences? I'm curious to see what the dropoff looks like. People I talk to in Europe and Canada are either not buying tickets or cancelling their tickets to major events.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

Our backyard weather station in Burnaby, BC measured 76 mm of rain in 24 hours on August 15, 2025. The rain event started at midnight and this reading was at 11:30pm the same day. #bcstorm #metrotown #burnaby

Anyone being surprised by this has not been paying attention for the past decade. Putin's Man in the White House does Putin's bidding. Always has.

FOX REPORTER: “The way it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say, got his photo next to the president, then left.”

The heat of Republican fury if Biden met with Putin in Alaska would have created its own weather system. Instead we watch the abdication of a nation to a tyrant, delivered by the weakest man who ever lived.

The reason you feel like it's all coming apart even though everything seems normal is because it's all coming apart and everything we consider normal is the reason.

The only thing in the way of everything Trump 🇺🇸 and Putin 🇷🇺 want is Canada 🇨🇦 😬.

"There is no crueler task than to have to document one’s own demise and there is no more selfless act than to leave a record. That is what Palestinian journalists gave as their lives were stolen. Anas Al-Sharif was 28 years old."

How to sound tough but do nothing: Impose tariffs on a country where we already impose sanctions. A 100% tariff on almost nothing will do almost nothing.

Trump's "big announcement" on Ukraine is that he's going to put 100 percent tariffs on Russia if there isn't a Russia-Ukraine deal soon

This is what fascist propaganda looks like. We learned about how to spot it in 7th grade history class in Norway.
