Exposing a global ‘online rape academy’ that is teaching men how to abuse women and evade detection CNN exposes an online network of men encouraging each other to drug and assault their partners, and swap tips on how to get away with it.

TW: sexual violence

In February, there were 62 million Gisèle Pelicots victimized by their partners. She is just the tip of a horrific iceberg.

#metoo did not go nearly far enough.

Violence conjugale | Recherché, il brise son bracelet antirapprochement Un homme accusé dans un contexte de violence conjugale a réussi à briser son bracelet antirapprochement et est activement recherché, a annoncé mardi le Service de police de l’agglomération de Longueui...

Il faut vraiment que les forces de l’ordre s’améliorent. Le genre d’homme qui fait de la violence conjugale croit fermement qu’il a le droit de violenter sa compagne et va tout faire pour continuer.

Avec déjà 8 féminicides depuis le début de l’année, c’est troublant.

Child maltreatment in Canada: prevalence and gender differences among youth, HPCDP: Vol 46(2), February 2026 This study presents the first Canadian self-reported estimates of child maltreatment (CM) from youth in the 2023 Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth.

I hope that the Epstein files bring a reckoning over how widespread child abuse is. 44.9% of 🇨🇦 youth have been emotionally abused. 8.1% of 🇨🇦 girls & 22.4% of NB/GNC/trans 🇨🇦 youth have been sexually abused. It’s not just a few shitty adults, it is a systemic problem.

Et personne ne parle du gaspillage alimentaire faramineux de ces grandes épiceries. Des tonnes d’aliments en bonne condition finissent dans les dumpsters derrière ces épiceries et ils sont cadenassés parce que les marchand.e.s ne veulent pas que des personnes itinérantes fouillent dedans…

It is looking promising for the Liberals in Terrebonne. #polcan

Justin Trudeau rocked Montreal merch while out with Katy Perry and the Internet’s losing it. From MTL Blog. First photo, Justin Trudeau on the left with a white shirt, jeans, an Alouettes cap and fried noodles. Katy Perry on the right with a white shirt and a Solo Cup. Second photo, we see from the back Katy Perry on the left holding hands with Justin Trudeau on the right.

On the left, McGill first year frat bro with a 500$ designer T-shirt that looks like 1$ Dollarama. On the right, wide-eyed American McGill sorority girl doing frosh who just smoked her first joint ever. Special mention to the box of 2 Chow fried noodles. S/O to that Asian lady on St-Lau, an icon!

Christine Fréchette est la nouvelle première ministre du Québec. #polqc

My pointless hot take is that if you want to be ethical and see Taylor Swift in concert you should sneak in for free. Stop giving that billionaire white woman more money, she doesn’t need it. Divest from her white American hegemonic musical empire.

Who Could Have Imagined That Not Getting Sick Briefly In 2020 Would Leave So Many People So Sick In 2026

Hello NASA, if you are listening, can you please put Anne McClain on the next Artemis mission so I can watch a lesbian astronaut go to the Moon live?

Thank you!

- Signed, every sapphic space nerd

They splashed down safely into the Pacific!

Be safe, Ottawa pals ❤️

University of Ottawa has just issued an emergency lockdown alert citing a “violent threat on campus”

Not immediately clear what‘s happening

Other people are partying on Friday night, I am anxiously waiting for #ArtemisII and its crew to splashdown back to Earth into the Pacific Ocean.

I have been super psyched about #ArtemisII all week but I can’t help but wonder if it’s all gonna come back to bite us.

I hope it won’t lead to megacapitalist tech bros to start mining operations on the Moon & pitch it as a “solution to resource depletion on Earth & the climate crisis”…

Artemis II's last test: Will its heat shield work? Excess charring on Artemis I's heat shield had NASA racing to understand what went wrong—and to ensure the technology was still safe for the current crew's high-speed reentry.

I can say without hesitation that this is the HARDEST article I have ever written, but I am incredibly proud of it.

If you have questions about Orion’s heat shield, given the issues with Artemis I, I hope I can provide some answers:

The 2020s are shaping up to be an awful decade.

Liberal Statement from MP Marilyn Gladu Today, the Liberal Party issued the following statement from Marilyn Gladu, Member of Parliament for Sarnia - Lambton-Bkejwanong: "Dear citizens of Sarnia-Lambton —Bkejwanong, "The past year has been like no other that Canada has ever faced, and I've heard clearly from constituents that you want serious leadership and a real plan to build a stronger and more independent Canadian economy. "That is why I have decided to join Prime Minister Mark Carney and Canada's new government as the newest member of his caucus. It is a privilege to have served as your Member of Parliament for more than a decade, and I have made a choice to do the best thing for our community's priorities, and importantly, for our country.

Wow, this is unexpected:

Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu has crossed the floor and joined Mark Carney's Liberals

Future generations will look back on our period in history and wonder how this behaviour came to be normalized

This is actually a real cover of The Economist (not a joke or April fools)

Xiao long bao à l’érable avec sirop d’érable

Au nom de toutes les personnes shanghaïennes: Sammi & Soupe, POURQUOI?

In spite of me getting both the flu and COVID vaccine, masking more than usual & drinking ginger shots nearly every day, I got sick 3 times this winter.

When I was able to contact trace it, it was always because someone was sick but still decided to go out in public unmasked & then made me sick.

Ce commentaire m’a fait rire jaune

Je ne comprends pas toujours les choix de publication de Ruba Ghazal sur Bluesky.

En fin de semaine, Rima Hassan a été empêchée d'entrer (elle était invitée par QS, entre autres) et Avi Lewis est devenu chef du NPD.

Pendant ce temps:

Ce n’est pas très normal qu’en tant que Sino-Québécoise de 2e génération, les cours d’histoire au secondaire étaient tellement mauvais que j’ignorais l’existence de familles sino-québécoises multigénérationnelles et de la Loi d’exclusion sur les Chinois avant l’âge adulte.

BREAKING: Avi Lewis wins the NDP leadership with a commanding majority on the first ballot.

Avi Lewis is the new leader of the NDP.

When being sick unmasked in public spaces will become as stigmatized and shameful as smoking cigarettes in a crowd / next to non-smokers in North America, it will feel like progress.

As a Chinese person, I am constantly culture shocked by how individualistic, selfish and inconsiderate of others / the public good North Americans are.

Biggest example of this is how resistant so many are to masking in public - a practice that is very normalized in many parts of East Asia.
