I told some friends that if Brad Bradford wins, we can choose to spend the next 4 years annoying the fuck out of him. But I had an important realization about democracy. I can also do that if he loses.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

This is exactly it. Misogynists use sexual violence to seek advantages for men. A big part of that strategy is to traumatize women and then insist that trauma makes them “too emotional” for leadership roles.

"You won't debate me because you can't beat my IDEAS"—no, loser, I won't debate you because your ideas have been considered and rejected and no longer warrant debate, and the very act of engaging in debate frames you as better than you are and your failed ideas as worthy of anything but contempt.

This election will be decided by turnout. The richest, greediest, most selfish cranks in this city will definitely vote, so it's up to us to make sure we get a government that actually represents the people.

Talk to your friends and family about voting! Not everyone is as tuned in as all you nerds and a simple "hey how are you feeling about the election on Monday" can go a long way. Maybe they forgot when it was, or they're not sure if they're eligible, or don't know where to get candidate info. #TOpoli

I know no one gives a F about safety or the law when the province is involved - but those workers & police should be wearing PPE for this work. Did they cover the catchbasins? Did they warn residents to close windows? The city would never get away with this. www.gazzolapaving.com/files/employ...

While deconstruction protests will be happening tomorrow from 6 AM to 4 PM, @cycletoronto.bsky.social & others are calling for a rally on Tuesday, October 20 (6 PM) at Tom Riley Park to celebrate one week since we sent the workers home. Please spread the word. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

The murder happened in March. Campus sexual violence is literally a daily occurrence in the US. It isn’t limited to rape. It is lethal for victims more often than any of us were led to believe.

The idea that we are obliged to save the online fascists and nazis from themselves is not one I subscribe to, I've been online for 30+ years now and the number of right-wing chuds who have ever engaged in "dialogue" for any reason except to waste other people's time can be counted on a single hand.

This week, I have a day-long in-person meeting for our division at work. They're trying to make it "fun" with a mystery theme and encouraging us to dress like characters from the show. Please, please stop. It's a waste of my time and you're embarrassing yourselves.

This was a emotionally challenging piece for me to write--angering, saddening, and tbh frightening--but I also think it's important There were so many opportunities to save Tierra Walker's life and it's so obvious why her pregnancy ended in death anyway ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

A couple went on a Fox News podcast and claimed the state of #Massachusetts took away their teen because they won't help the teen transition. But it's actually because the father was charged with beating and threatening to kill the teen and the mother was charged with witness intimidation.

“This bill explicitly gives government the power to end legal strikes when a minister decides that a strike is or could become contrary to the national interest — and the national interest is defined solely by the opinion of the minister,” warns top labour leader Bea Bruske. Holy shit. This is bad.

Weird, she ‘moderated’ on trans rights and yet her opponent is still calling her a deranged leftist SJW. If only there was some kind of precedent for this so it could have been predicted in advance.

Marcy Kaptur is the incumbent with a 5 point polling lead so I must assume she put out this ad because this is what she believes.

People are arguing between road design and enforcement. In the Netherlands, not only do they have both, but they have a third tool: presumed liability. Drivers who hit a pedestrian or cyclist are presumed to be at fault until proven otherwise. This would be a powerful tool in our litigious society.
