"You know, that response you tried to achieve back there? Fight or flight? It's called Fight OR Flight for a reason. Not everybody chooses the second option."

Avril Frowler looks really familiar 🤔
I especially enjoyed Steve's improvised additions, and filming our exterior shots with Andre and Damian. Thanks to everybody who gave this video a thumbs up!
I had a good time putting this together, with script contributions from Andre Truffi and Damian Baranowski. Thanks also to @kateblair.bsky.social for her voice work, along with Steve Munro, Colleen Hillerup and @milesintransit.com.
What an amazing initiative! ;-)

(3/3) It's costing us a small fortune to get rid of CEOs who have done great damage at their respective organizations.

📢 PSA: If you’re flying out of LaGuardia Airport today, you should plan to get there at least THREE HOURS early. The TSA PreCheck security line goes outside into the garage!
The Republicans totally own this chaos. Tell them to stop blocking the bills that would provide clean funding for the TSA.
It’s not AirPort Express anymore. It’s a rapid transit line serving Northwestern Toronto and we should treat it as such. Buy more equipment to get frequencies down to ten minutes, add stops, and run GO trains express after the joint stop at Woodbine Racetrack.
I’m told that under Canadian law, promised Bluesky posts are legally binding.
I (Olav N. Rokne) am now obligated to do this.
Does anyone have a line on a good chest-merkin? I am not nearly as hirsute as Sean Connery…
New from me at TVO: the government's formal justification for gutting FOI law is nonsense and the only upside to all this is that legislative power can be a shield for this government and a sword for the next. www.tvo.org/article/anal...
My wife also got Long COVID. It laid her up for weeks, and she still has issues with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). Mask up. If more people had, it might have helped. It would certainly help stop the spread of other diseases.
Tan backdrop with teal border. Text says “I have had Long Covid since my infection in January, 2021. Millions need urgent, meaningful, and sustained action.” Above the text is a photo of SB Divya, a brown nonbinary person with short black hair and dark eyes, wearing a black KN95 mask with gold jewelry.
Most people live like the pandemic never happened, but some of us never fully got our lives back.
For 5 years, I’ve lived with Long Covid in the form of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME). There are millions around the world like me.
Today is #LongCovidAwareness Day. Help spread the word!
You throw a lot of tax money at them and say “have fun.”
In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

A title card promoting our video "Union Rush" featuring two GO Trains on tracks, looking east from the Spadina Avenue Bridge.
Ever go down to the railway lands and watch the trains go by? This week, we have two videos on this subject, with a new one showing up this Friday. Back in Summer 2022, Edward Brain recorded the first video & Damian Baranowski editied it to the tune of the Entertainer. Watch: youtu.be/53yytmptHMU
The Township of Centre Wellington (Elora and Fergus) is planning a new fixed route transit system.
For now, they're planning for three routes to start within the Elora-Fergus area, augmenting the existing RideWell county on-demand service and the GOST link to Guelph.

Ffs. There have always been trans people, there will always BE trans people. No law or billionaire is going to stop that simple fact. I have trans people in my life who I love, and trust me, I will fight to my last breath to protect them from the same dickheads who tried to kill me as a gay teen.
Black-background WHN graphic with white and pink text. At the top is the logo text “whn.global” with a pink dot. Large central headline: “COVID isn’t ‘just a cold.’” Below that: “It can affect the brain, heart, and immune system, even months later.” In bright pink near the lower middle: “Prevention matters.” At the bottom: “World Health Network - Science for a safer, healthier world.”
COVID is not “just a cold.” Even mild or asymptomatic infections can cause lasting health effects, damaging blood vessels and organs, affecting the brain, and weakening the immune system.
Europeans who fled to Dubai to avoid taxes, trashing Europe while praising Dubai, are now paying the price.
They are hiding in basements, begging Europe for help, alongside influencers posting UAE‑funded propaganda that claims everything is fine while they wait to be evacuated
I wrote about the tragic death of Nurul Amin Shah Alamin Buffalo. I explain how complicity can be the cumulative result of many small decisions in which people abdicate their basic obligations to other humans -- the rule of law can't exist without empathy asharangappa.substack.com/p/the-questi...

so yes, you can transform a CBS or a CNN into right-wing slop, and yes that will have an impact, but it is also true that americans will have access to a large universe of other information AND they will continue to build new venues for telling stories about the world and sharing their views…
Thanks for the great interview, Paulette!!
