I want Thunder Rosa to turn heel and team up with Persephone, if only to hear them shit-talking people in Spanglish. It would be tremendous.

Just sayin', but Willow Nightengale has one of the cleanest Death Valley Drivers of any currently active North American wrestler. #AEWDynamite

Contrary to popular belief, though we may be going through a tough time, a restructuring, and a little bit of a financial ~storm~ @pressprogress.ca is not dying. We have a lot of fight left in us, and a desire to keep building something good.

If you’re able to help us continue this work by becoming a member, or with a one-time donation, it would go a long way. Help us continue our fight, because I assure you, we still have a lot of fight left in us. Signed, Rumneek Johal pressprogress.ca/member/

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

There's enough bastardry in scientific publishing (thanks @iwriteok.bsky.social for the education I got on that!) that I need to see a couple more studies and a proper meta-analysis before I completely believe this. The location of the study (Brazil) also leads me to wonder about other factors.

This is for an API. A hundred thousand dollars for an API. But so far as I can tell, the posts themselves will still be visible on the site … ?

just said this on another post but it bears repeating: the thing about continuing to give money to any jk rowling properties or the nyt is not that they’re shitty about trans people, which they are. it is that both of these entities MATERIALLY CONTRIBUTE to the legal challenges to trans rights

Even so...

Canada needs more labour reporters to hold management accountable for their decisions Every layoff is a choice Good labour reporters should not simply tell you how many people were laid off, they should also question management's choices and ask what else is going on behind the scenes

Days after Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke publicly supported the idea that pensioners and the poor should lose their right to vote — and the wealthy should have extra votes — Elon Musk called him a "national treasure." But that's not all. Lutke also has the ear of Canada's prime minister. Here's proof:

I got into a hollering argument about trans rights with a chud at my Olympic weightlifting gym a few years ago. A few weeks later, he dropped a full-blown N-bomb during a casual conversation. It's like clockwork.

ashley 🌹@clearlyashley.bsky.social · last wk.

trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry

Summer has now become fire season for many B.C. residents and travellers. It’s why authorities urge having access to local emergency information channels — and why it’s important to do so when fire breaks out and time is of the essence. thetyee.ca/News/2026/07...

this is nothing short of a catastrophic blunder on the part of the lawmakers of new york. rather than understanding that age verification is not a proper method for protecting kids online, they proceed to place in the first few cogs of the mass surveillance machine for the state. unacceptable.

The Nexus of Privacy@thenexusofprivacy.net · last wk.

New York State releases final rules for "SAFE for KIDS Act", requiring age verification for "addictive feeds" as of January 2027. Bluesky will very likely comply, since the Discover feed is probably "addictive" under this law. So start shopping for VPNs now! ag.ny.gov/press-releas...

Gotta work on placement, but the Batou eyes are pretty much done.

Just a head’s up to everyone who hasn’t reassessed their relationship with Shopify yet: its CEO is actively pushing far-right politics in Canada, now with Elon Musk’s explicit support!
