There are still nice things sometimes eg. new @jonronson.bsky.social book halle-freakin-lujah

“What I’m talking about is a self-definition in which the individual grows to the size of the universe, and the universe vanishes.”

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Oh boy I love everything about this. The majesty of it.

Heather Cox Richardson has a larger audience than almost any dudefluencer. More informed. Better values & policy preferences. And yet there are no profiles, no elevation or lionization, because there's *nothing* US media is less interested in than middle-aged lib women. No diner interviews for them.

The PM congratulating the new NDP leader in both official language seems kinda like a troll

You lose money when you underestimate women

So let me get this straight, Republicans are protecting billionaires who are mad because Canada is essentially protecting our own country with online streaming. The US makes millions from Canadians!

He’s right, none of the great men of history sat around reflecting on stuff, for example Marcus Aurelius, renowned for his great work: Anyway, I’m Not Gonna Worry About It

Tamara Deverall winning the Oscar plus a quote from her speech: I’m living in Nova Scotia right now, which is getting arts cuts by our provincial governnment, which is making it really difficult to support artists like me and Shane. We need to grow, young people who need to learn art is important. It is essentially to our human culture and well-being.”

A richly deserved shaming on an international stage for @nsgov.bsky.social and Tim Houston specifically (read Tamara Deverall’s complete quote in the alt-text)

Bruce Fanjoys petition ends April 7th. Let’s get him 50k signatures ! And let’s make Poilievre get a security clearance. Please keep reposting! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 #TeamCANADA

NS politicians always think it’ll be safe to scapegoat and sideline arts and culture, assuming NS working people won’t care about the artsies. But they forget 1. We too are working people and 2. We grow industries that employ still MORE working NSians

I love NS arts & culture. We have such a vibrant, tireless community and it deserves so much better from this government

To restore democracy and create a fairer, safer, greener world, we need massive taxes on the ultra-rich. As in the 1940s. People get confused about this. The main purpose of such taxes is *not* to raise revenue. The point is to stop the few dominating the many. It's an essential democratic measure.

Wtf

Fund the CBC like you said you would
