You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.
"where will we get the money for th-" hey about if there are children who are hungry who the fuck cares where we get the money from.
Jeremy Mulder@jeremulder.bsky.social · 14h agowww.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Love these articles, on the same day our province is spending millions to destroy/ rip out vital infrastructure that fall under municipal jurisdiction. We never ask where the money is for those projects. Helping kids get a solid meal though.
Well this is not at all surprising. It had to be either a lingering injury, or his eyes going on him, because that downturn made no damn sense

Talked to a low-info voter today. Thinks Chow has ruined the city, doesn’t want her kid walking past drug users, etc. This is what conservatives do. Starve civic society of resources, then vanish into the woodwork and re-emerge to blame those left in charge for not fixing the chaos they created.

sometimes it's still hard to believe the government decided the license that lets you drive this fiat should be the same one that lets you drive this truck
evangelical parents: ok but what if instead of listening to our children we downloaded this gaslighting machine that looks like a pastor that will tell us we, the authorities, are definitely NOT the problem, ad infinitum?!
D.L. Mayfield (they/them)@dlmayfield.bsky.social · 6d agoThe James Dobson Family Institute is creating an AI app that helps parents get wisdom from -- you guessed it -- James Dobson. Presumably it will be dispensing a lot of advice to parents wondering why their adult children are now going no-contact with them . . . www.drjamesdobson.org/featured/dr-...
They’ve been trying to get a salary cap since before you (doesn’t matter who is reading this) were born, a group of children could win the World Series and they’d proceed like nothing happened. This isn’t a movie. Single events don’t stop people or ruin plans. They’re going lockout no matter what.

Long overdue for these types of bylaws to be implemented(although it only starting as a pilot in a single ward is very silly, the entire city deserves to not cook in the summer)
City of Hamilton@cityofhamilton.bsky.social · 5d agoHamilton City Council has approved a pilot program for a new Adequate Temperature Bylaw in Downtown Hamilton, a first-of-its-kind initiative in Ontario designed to help protect renters from unsafe indoor temperatures during extreme heat.

I feel like there needs to be a study around how we as a society so deeply failed the generation of nerds who grew up to become AI TechBros, given how utterly disconnected with their own humanity they've become...

Nicole Bedera@nbedera.bsky.social · last wk.I spent a year watching school administrators do their jobs—and interviewing the students most impacted. I spoke to @thecut.com in a long-form Q&A about what I saw. Mainly, a system designed to protect perpetrators and punish victims in each and every case.

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives
You're telling me this guy who claims generative AI will kill us all denies both climate change and the Holocaust? I'm shocked, shocked to discover hahahahahaha but seriously

feels like at least part of what is happening is that a lot of people want politics to solve the "my life feels empty" problem and the populist right is directly appealing to them

Flora 🍓🏳️⚧️@floramerigold.bsky.social · 2w agoYesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day.

Somehow this is only a crisis when building things like trains, not pipelines.
Toronto Star@thestar.com · 2w agoCanada’s first high-speed rail line could cost as much as $113 billion to build, according to an analysis published by the Parliamentary Budget Officer on Thursday — significantly higher than the federal government’s previous $90-billion estimate.
So much of the lens on culture has been turned into a numbers game, where everything is about chart placements and streaming numbers and data. Its a horse race to who gets to do data best, and all of these dorks forget that people just want a song that will make them cry at the grocery store.
