One thing I still hear from cis dudes is "Well men get raped too" Yeah. They do. By other men. Usually by men who identify as cis. It's so fucking simple to just acknowledge the problem and solve the problem by not raping people. It's easy. You just have to not do one thing.

So I live in the Premiere-Designates riding. The number one bitch right now is the hospital ER being closed some nights. I've seen some people slagging BC because we're stupid for voting majority conservative. Actually the CONs got 48% of the vote. Bet Eby wishes he'd tackled FPTP now.

fairvote.caBC Conservatives receive 69% of the seats with 48% of the vote. BC voters cheated by first-past-the-post and pushed further towards a two-party system.Only 48% of BC voters supported the BC Conservatives, yet the voting system has handed Lorne Doerkson's Conservatives 69% of the seats and 100% of the power.

David Eby's legacy will be going from someone who wrote a book on your civil rights while being arrested to overseeing the raids on Wet'suwet'en territory as attorney general to centre right neoliberalism that led to conservatives winning for the first time in over a century

I'm in BC, and voted NDP but honestly, Eby owns this disaster. The Conservatives were melting down and we could have given them 2 more years to self destruct but he thought he could do anything and now we have *waves around* all this.

You cannot preach partnership abroad while neglecting the relationships, rights, and obligations that must be honoured at home. One of the most disrespectful behaviours toward a people is disregarding their cultural protocols.

I'd say I was disappointed in my fellow British Columbians but this was a province who thought Bill VanderZalm was a great idea. BC has been politically insane for a while, particularly.with Social Credit government who then switch the name of the conservative party to BC Liberals so, yeah.

There's a space telescope doing amazing things right now. There was a time when I'd be following that closely. There's a special place in Hell for politicians who suck up every single brain cell cycle just to deal with their bullshit.

The whole stupid tragedy is this. All the pain, grift, cronjobs, violence, hit men, bilious rhetoric and the selling of the soul is pointless. We know he's in there. He knows it. All of this is just so some old dude doesn't have to face consequences until he's dead.

bluesky went from the most accepting social experience we've ever had online to literally fearing for our child's safety because of the far-right brigading Singal personally stirred up overnight in '24 he does not get a redemption arc for trying to turn down the volume on the mob he helped create

every now & then someone on the anti-trans side will get cold feet about how openly ugly it's all getting—they want to keep the image of a nice, sensible centrist but it's never enough for them to get off the train

I support Carney. That doesn’t mean I support everything he’s done. No other Leaders of the other political parties can meet the criteria of today. Carney is governing, the others are still campaigning. 🇨🇦 👊 🇨🇦 💪

From the people that tried to give you Hunter Biden's Laptop, they actually give you Jared Kushner's iPhone. (cough Rosenberg cough) Sorry, I think I have a cold. No idea where that came from.

I'm starting to think men just aren't able to handle positions of power. We're slaves to emotion and ruled so often by our biology that I'm just not sure we're suited to it. Perhaps we need to set aside power for those more capable and suited for the task.

I swear conservative men think that someone just wakes up one morning and decides "I think I'd rather sleep with..." or "Well, I'm bored, maybe I should be..." as opposed to being central to the core of your being that you can't change in a world that will hate you for it anyway.

The US had an incredible president who was genuinely a good and humble human being, and the country went nuts and voted conservatives in who blew up the budget and nuked social society. Obama and Carter, take your pick.

Since I tabled my @ndp.ca Bill C-247 to repeal Section 107 and uphold the right to strike, the Liberals have escalated their attacks on workers in Bill C-39. Unions across the country have opposed these new attacks on workers’ Charter protected collective bargaining rights and right to strike.

With a lot of trial and error (mostly error) I've managed to create an initial evidence photo and tweak a bunch of settings for an analog horror vibe for our series. What I am curious to know is do you want to look at it for a bit to figure out what's inside or do you switch off thinking it's noise

A special thank you to the First Nation, Métis and Inuit people who showed up in record numbers to help save Canada! We are all so deeply grateful for Indigenous communities and the extraordinary contributions they bring to our province and country.

I can't get on the bandwagon that anyone who contributes to any AI usage or Data Center use is to be damned. I get the churning out of AI slop, and agree, but some folks are just stuck with Microsoft365 for work, or Google Gemini cuz their families use android. There's no easy solution to this.

I know science isn't big on the MAGA crowd but we've spent generations, centuries, making sure mediocre men succeed and forcing women, black and brown folkss - everyone who isn't a straight white male work 4x as hard to make half the money.
