Living on the side of the border I do, I hadn't seen this particular TLA before, so just for a second, I read it "Paid for by Trump National Committee, Jesus Fucking Christ, Inc."

"Threatening the structural liberty inherent in the separation of powers," said the judge appointed by the man she was letting off with a completely straight face.

What do you get when you combine the No. 2 executive at Shopify, right-wing so-called “media,” and a designated terr*rist entity? This jaw-dropping story! With help from @llebrun.bsky.social, let me break down why we’re asking questions about Shopify and True North:

Ten years ago today, my Brazilian students suddenly became very, very quiet about how their World Cup team was so much better than everybody else's.

Because of Bluesky, I watched Jaws 2 for the first time tonight. It was kind of shit, but that was no big surprise; what *was* surprising was that somebody decided that a Jaws sequel should be mostly about sailboats and the high-school drama of some anonymous teenagers.

I'd normally be excited about the prospect of a Labour government, but it feels like Corbyn took such a beating that what was left for the UK to elect was really just their version of John Tory.

I learned during the pandemic that capitalism does not give a shit about your reasonable concerns to political chaos, hate crimes, and many people dying. The bills still arrive, rent still needs to be paid, work still needs to be done. Be kind to yourself. One thing at a time.

A safe supply doctor effectively being threatened with jail; economists attacked. Under Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative Party's attacks on experts have accelerated: blunter, nastier, and more personal. Is this the future in Canadian governance? www.thestar.com/politics/peo...

At this point, the only historians are going to be the pirates. I said in another thread, we are going to get to a point when one major studio in a brutally shortsighted decision will pull out of Apple and Amazons storefronts. Entirely. Including for those who already purchased.

One of the interesting things about the Internet is that we’re actually living through a dark age. Future historians are unlikely to have records of this period. Paper and ink last. Digital storage, less so. variety.com/2024/tv/news...

Comedy Central’s Website Purges 25 Years of Video Clips and Other Contentvariety.com The vast repository of content on Comedy Central's website has been removed by Paramount Global, in a move to push fans to Paramount+.

It's not a huge thrill to read that someone with direct knowledge of the situation at the Science Centre sort of gets why it has to go, and the decision is still blatantly political, but it's not a bad idea to at least plan for how a new one could be more sustainable in the face of future austerity.

TLDR: If you want nice things you need to pay for them and maintain them… www.thestar.com/opinion/i-le...

I led the Ontario Science Centre for five years.

I cut my cinephilic teeth at the Revue, to have it threatened with a hostile takeover for being too successful is maddening, especially coming right after the Bloor/Hot Docs Cinema being shuttered for lack of an audience. There's a petition here if you chose to sign: www.change.org/p/protect-th...

It's truly inspiring to come home and open the mailbox to find my very first campaign flyers for the local Green candidate two days after the election. Maybe they were walked here from the print shop to save on carbon emissions?

Laserdiscs are awesome and AI upscaling is tolerable at times. Taken together, though, this makes me pretty happy. new.reddit.com/r/DeepSpaceN...

I'd be very happy to see ranked ballots in the future, but I just had a good chuckle thinking about what it would have been like filling one out yesterday.
