Bluesky is a million times better than this dumb website. I was holding out on signing up but I just did and it's great. Lots of people to follow, very active.
You should all log off over here forever.

Post Media has no concept of the importance of editorial cartooning in Nova Scotia that has lasted since before the Second World War.

every one of the focus groups is just gonna be some variation of this bullshit
Studios are assembling superfan focus groups to assess various materials for a franchise project to avoid social media backlash.
“They will just tell us, ‘If you do that, fans are going to retaliate’ … If it’s early enough & the movie isn’t finished yet, we can make those kinds of changes.”

The first 14(!!!) pages of a list of Palestinians killed in Gaza from October 7 to August 31 record the names of children under 1 year old. Are they "Hamas"? xitter.cf/sharifkouddous/status/…

🟥 Mark Carney: “When politicians (like Pierre Poilievre) claim our great democracies are broken, it's not because they want to FIX them. It's because they want a license to DEMOLISH...
It's a model that has been USED time and time again: Create an external constraint to STARVE the beast of government, in a misguided view that SLASHING will lead to growing...
...When Poilievre shouts 'axe the tax!', he's really whispering, 'can the plan' and leaving us with NOTHING.
Demolition is NOT a plan.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

“The level of suffering we are witnessing in Gaza is unprecedented in my mandate as secretary-general of the United Nations. I’ve never seen such a level of death and destruction as we are seeing in Gaza in the last few months.” -- Antonio Guterres

You can’t find a doctor. You’re waiting hours upon hours in the emergency room. You can’t afford a home.
But don’t worry, Doug is busy personally inspecting every can of beer that heads for the convenience store.

Chicago Police knock near 80yo woman to ground w/their batons; don’t let her pick up her cane & refuse to help her up. It perfectly captures the truth of CPD at DNC.
If this is how CPD “protects & serves” old ladies in broad daylight—now you can better understand CPD’s violent repression at night #DNC #FreePalestine
chicago is celebrating its DNC police response as a move away from CPD’s history of unconstitutional policing.
but the police repression during the protests (76 arrests, including 4 journalists) tell a different story: thenation.com/article/activi…

It’s a simple syllogism:
1) Israel wont agree to a lasting ceasefire unless compelled by the US
2) this is only achievable by cutting off arms or the credible threat thereof
3) therefor one cannot “back a ceasefire” without backing cutting off arms or the credible threat thereof

Children screaming because all that is left of their parents is body parts. Parents screaming because the same is true of their children.
Enforce a ceasefire. End arms sales to Israel. Sanction its leaders and send them to the Hague. Stop the world from spinning until this ends.

Pharmacist and Shoppers CEO Jeff Leger thinks pharmacists can do "40-60%" of what family MDs can do and wants his pharmacies operating "no differently than doctor's offices". The end game is clear. It is corporate pharmacies acting like MDs for a historic profiteer cash grab.

I join growing Canadians boycotting George Weston Ltd. businesses because they do not operate in the public interest: Loblaw's, No Name, Joe Fresh, Shoppers Drug Mart, No Frills, Canadian Superstore, Zehrs, and Provigo. I'm shopping independent.

The US and UK boycotted the commemoration of the bombing of Nagasaki because Israel wasn't invited. This morning Israel marked the occasion by dropping a 2,000lb bomb on a school sheltering displaced people, killing at least 60.
On this day in 1945, the world witnessed the devastating tragedy of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. Let us remember the lives lost, honor the survivors, and recommit to a future of peace, reconciliation, and nuclear disarmament. #Nagasaki #NeverForget
