There's no pretense left. J. K. Rowling made her hate for trans women clear in a slur-filled screed slurring them a dozen times and describing them as deceitful and dangerous.
So writes @evanurquhart.bsky.social this morning on Assigned Media.

I am b e g g i n g people to mask up at major cons, *especially* ones with 5-digit crowd sizes!!
Lightbox this weekend was absolutely ravaged; Iβm hearing of SO many attendees and exhibitors who got sick from doing the show this year!! Please stay safe out there! π π
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth.
Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why.

Sorry to respond to a meme, but this is in part a local news issue. Nobody's covering zoning board and city council meetings until it's way too late. Obviously, government capture by rich guys and corrupt local officials is the main reason, but the prophylactic is local news.
Many Americans reacting to this with "I hope this doesn't happen to us in November" and like, no you dumb fucks he's saying this shit because he wants to give YOUR GOVERNMENT cover to interfere further.
Well this is eleventy-million kinds of Fucked Up. @latimes.com (who once contracted with me as a freelance reviewer and whom I struggled to get paid by) asserts that *merely reading its website* constitutes a permanent waiver of your right to sue it under *any circumstances*.
French police sees children walking mere meters away, casually throws teargas right at the children.
If you wanna understand why so many people hate the police

Nobody wants a party of the mushy middle that apes the right. It never works. The middle constantly underestimates the depth of the poli-crisis & threat of the far right.
Premier: you capitulated to the right, campaigned on locking up my community-who you used to represent when I knew you at Pivot. You gave us a con majority thatβll bring still more death & misery. In this Mamdani moment you stood for capital.
-lifelong NDP voter who voted Green
I canβt even say Eby has been a disappointment because heβs been exactly what I told Mercier he was going to be back during the phoney leadership campaign.
Tonight David Eby is going to resign, and then hand the province over to a group dedicated to screwing over First Nations. So seriously, f*ck him, his ego and greed for doing this, and wasting all our time for the next 4 years, fighting them.
hate to see the bc conservatives win, but also david eby got exactly what he deserved for taking such a cynical and opportunistic move when he had two years left on his majority government
BC is about to elect a far right government due to the spineless antics of neoliberals. Calling an election no one wanted while governing from the centre right as a so called soc dem political party
Disastrous, but this is BCβs tangible shift right under the NDP coming due. Pro-police, anti-harm reduction messaging has been driving politics in that province for years. The NDP has folded to it each time. Now BC learns what itβs like to live under the UCP.
This is private equity, this is what it does.
Buy up businesses, run them into the ground, and rip them apart for short-term profit.

Anti-immigrant sentiment in Alberta has hit a majority, and that province is hardly an outlier. That's what happens when we fail to blame a lack of planning and instead blame people who are just trying to find a place to live securely.

In a new draft prospectus viewed by the Wall Street Journal, Anthropic discloses an $80.7 billion net loss for the first half of 2026 and a long list of risk factors.
The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot
A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead:

One of the obvious reasons that AI is being pushed on is is to end our free access to web crawlers and instead sell us "AI" access to better search engines.
The kind of research I did from 2020-2022 on COVID with Google would be impossible now.
Crazy to think about how Pariezeau's famous comment about money and the ethnic vote was enough to send English Canada the "all Quebecers are racist" land but Alberta's SEVEN RACIST BALLOT QUESTIONS have barely gotten news in the ROC.
Yuck! Another reason why Iβm happy Iβm using @crowdfundr.bsky.social based here in Canada instead. Patreon also takes way more off the top than they used to.
