Don't let them convince you we have to settle for the status quo. All over the world, people are fighting for cities that put people over profits. On April 5th, let's send a message that will resonate far beyond Vancouver. Join the fight: copevancouver.ca/volunteer #vanpoli

If you thought the Great Recession was bad, imagine a Great Recession but this time the government promises you that it's not actually happening.

my brother has girl issues and has been running everything through chatgpt. turns out she has too. essentially just chatgpt in a relationship with chatgpt

So much rightwing resentment seems to be that upper-class white people genuinely don't like them and would rather be around people of color who share their values and class. Historically, being white wasn't enough to enter elite institutions. You were expected to right.

Not at the height of Clinton’s 2016 campaign could I have dreamed of such a cynical deployment of identity politics.

“My scrub nurse that I was working with every single day was followed home by a quad copter drone, and it didn’t kill him on the way home… it waiting until he was home, in his tent, and greeted his three children and killed them all”

Back in the early 2000's I grew up with a lot of internet safety awareness initiatives: from tv ads aimed at kids, policemen giving lectures at school, kids festivals with fun games about what NOT to do on the internet, and it was very effective as it was stomped in my head (1/2)

This journalist also didn’t bother to ask me for my title and just made one up for me out of their own head. I am not a disability and housing advocate. Those exist. There are actual paid positions with this title. This is not me. But why let facts get in way of your classism.

Man classism and ableism are such a brew. I just checked my original email from her and I was contacted as co-chair of Vancouver city planning commission. She made up a title out of head even though there was one in front of her.

No one talks about how classism plays out in interactions and it amazes me because seriously you wanna talk micro-aggressions? We got lots of those.

James Gray distilled so well what’s going on with the limited “mass appeal” of superhero films: studios oversaturating one genre, homogenizing the cinematic experience, getting wider audiences out of the habit of going to theaters. This is the end result.

This was the only short form reel clip I’ve seen that seemed to have actual aesthetic value. The loneliness and freedom of America…

Honestly we have so many fascists now this stuff doesn’t even annoy me anymore lol

ICU Doc here. Opioid overdoses don’t look like this. You physically can’t absorb fentanyl from an “exposure” like this. Another clue is that people who are actually overdosing don’t shout “I need narcan.” The medical term for this is a panic attack.

Israel just bombed the Red Crescent headquarters. They’re still killing medics and it barely registers as news.

alchemy and astronomy, pretty neat" Thomas Aquinas would have killed to have meet and talked to/debate Averroes, but basically no major intellectual in the Islamicate World knew who Aquinas was till modernity.

My profound thanks to Rev. Stephen A. Green and the Greater Allen AME for the honor of addressing their beautiful congregation in Jamaica, Queens this morning.

This is an okay speech but the aunty in the back slowly cracking a smile and nodding absolutely sells it. This man has the JUICE.
