I decided to rewrite BUStxt (which I called “textabus” as a prototype in honour of Telebus) and a nice thing is that I can implement things I think improve the UX, like showing when buses are behind or ahead. This was forbidden when I originally createted it! Want to alpha test? Let me know.

right on cue

We (Open Democracy Manitoba) built a #Winnipeg Election microsite where you can find your candidates and read CBC/Freep ward and candidate profiles. Search your address: www.winnipegelection.ca Let me know if you run into any issues. 🗳️

“Five days after his defeat in the first round of the Brazilian presidential election, leftwing president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva spent almost 24 hours unable to boost his Instagram posts, while his opponent, far-right senator Flávio Bolsonaro, could.”

Is SFletch using an LLM to write columns

Bem Troddreck likes to be dismissive toward police abolitionists yet use the analysis 🤪

Manitoba NDP’s behaviour here is shameful

Police, media don't care if Blind people cross the street safely, apparently

Fuck Canada and also fuck separatists.

'Cult of property' indeed

I was very upset when the ending to Our Lady Peace’s Starseed was changed when it was included on the Armageddon soundtrack

another data point

GOODBYE KEN SIM GOOD RIDDANCE U PIECE OF BOOTLICKING SHIT THANKS FOR THE DAMAGE U'VE DONE TO THE CITY HOPE U HAVE A NOT GOOD LIFE

Eishia deserved better. The next kids who this inquiry won't protect deserve better. Preserving the institution and reputation of policing is not worth children's lives.

TTFGSM (time to first “gold star” mention) 2025: 2 days 2026: 3 days I’ll take it 😖

NEW: We got consent from 7 unhoused people sheltering along Pandora Ave to hide Apple AirTags in their possessions. This is after years of City of Victoria denying allegations from unhoused ppl & witnesses who said bylaw don't follow their own policies. Now we have proof. Part 1 of 2 stories ⬇️

Predawn raid on Ilhan Omar over what is a shittily reheated Obama-acshually-Kenyan style boomer Facebook conspiracy is... to be expected, ig? The fascism requires little pretense, it's in the self-justifying snowball phase. Disgusting that US allies are twiddling their thumbs & keeping quiet

Canadians celebrate Coming Out Day a month earlier (second Sunday of September) to get it out of the way before the hockey season starts.

is Tom Brodbeck an LLM

Some day I’ll write this blog post but for now another data point bsky.app/profile/buck...

95.2% of Canadian punditry: yeah but trump tho yeah but trump tho yeah but trump tho yeah but trump tho yeah but trump tho yeah but trump tho yeah but trump tho 🙄

If Canadians are serious about "Truth and Reconciliation", they should stop supporting Israel's livestreamed genocide of Palestinians. It's hard to take Canadians seriously when they can't even acknowledge the basic truth that from Turtle Island to Palestine, colonization is a crime.

Keep your eyes on Ottawa, on old plans to take Indigenous lands are being dresses up in new clothes. See @niigaanwewidam.bsky.social in the Freep: www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

Actually had a happy little cry. Good for them, they should never have been charged.

49 Up was the first instalment I saw, at Cinematheque in my mid-20s, I was captivated. I wonder what it would be like to watch the latest and last without any context, but I found it moving, intensely resonant. Great that it has space for (limited) self-reflexion

other gender identities are in the planning stage

remember mbanx

What does Canada’s potential “special relationship” with the EU mean for our reckoning with the ongoing colonial process that created & maintains Canada?

is there a graph of tz database changes per year

Do folks know some sources on the history of queer and trans zines?

I love this thread. A thing that always comes up when I work with students is the importance of understanding and defining the terms of your research question. What do we want to grow? Who should efficiency serve? Whose time matters? How do we shore up trust? Who gets included in "we?"

What different meaning does “ways in which” convey vs “ways”

Is it us, or do Indigenous peoples’ interests get oddly omitted in this commentary? God forbid they get in the way of inter-provincial healing.

note that they are using shopify to do this

I Saw Her Kiss Him in Front of Me and I Was Like Wtf?

if you misgender someone that wasn’t there for it, you don’t have to apologise to them 🤓

This is open today! I had the privilege of visiting and the impossible task of not buying one of everything. A truly magical place! 🌈

About 75% of the problem with what’s happening with the opioid crisis in Winnipeg is racism.

"Extreme and unpredictable weather will ... damage vital energy infra-structure, producing shortages and further driving up prices. Storms and high winds already account for 80 percent of all power cuts in the United States." from 'Or Something Else' (see original post)

Worldle can’t decide whether it acknowledges Somaliland or not
