Go to your camera roll and search « boat » and then post a picture of a boat you like. (From the Egyptian collection at the Met in New York).

After the Avro Arrow was cancelled, which may have been the most advanced fighter jet in the world at the time, Canadians were recruited to join NASA and build their space agency. Time to bring that same brilliance home…

The childhood moment you can never forget. Original post

It's a new Stone Age in London, with stone apartment buildings and a stone demonstrator exhibit showing how it's done. Because it is silly to grind up limestone, cook it, and then add water to turn it into... stone. We could be doing a lot more of this in Canada- we are made of rock.

There’s no such thing as a self-made billionaire. To accumulate that level of obscene capital you have to develop parasitical relationships to sabotaged systems and prove useful to explicitly anti-human projects.

Probably the correct conclusion, when you actually know how it all works.

🤮 This - in microcosm - is where we're at globally. Unrestrained psychopathic corporate power wrecking the planet with complete and utter contempt and impunity... #RejectAI #PitchforksAgainstDatacentres🧑‍🌾🧑‍🌾🧑‍🌾

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: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

As French authorities instigate curfews to stop further "ulra-left" protest, far-right yobs take over the streets of Lyon, with no police intervention, despite racist chants... "Two-tier justice" in France too, it seems

No one gets in the way of a Canadian building major projects. 🇨🇦 🦫

⛑️‼️BREAKING: Ukraine has carried out the first frontline CASEVAC mission using a heavy-lift aerial drone. A wounded soldier of the 30th Mechanized Brigade was trapped at his position, with Russian drone activity and minefields making ground evacuation impossible.

The news media is framing Trump’s decision to cancel the livestream of Nidal Hasan’s execution as a Washington story of pure palace intrigue — Trump versus Hegseth. This ignores the real story, one that’s extraordinary for several reasons.

Trump taking the mask off and fully backing Russia is a big warning for Europe - Russia is coming for you. Trump National Security Strategy document laid it all out. Destabilize European democracies to help Russia-aligned far-right parties take over. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

if i take a walk in my little walkable neighborhood to buy fresh flowers and crunchy nectarines and my serenity is punctured by the sound of your tesla flipping in the air, i will blow up your car with a rocket launcher

So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…

Today’s Canadian painting is “In the Northland” painted by Tom Thomson in 1915-16.

Today’s mission was a simple one: find the colour. Because winter is already knocking at the door, and soon enough we won’t have scenes like this to banish the darkness of a challenged planet. So memories like this will have to do. #ldnont #canada #medway #thames #autumnvibes

Today’s Canadian painting is “Cobalt” painted by Yvonne McKague Housser in 1931. N

I'll throw in a Tommy Douglas and Ed Broadbent type of Canadian as well.

"The United States will abandon you, betray you and sell you down the river for literal cents at the pump"

The larger public in Europe may miss this. But every diplomat and international relations expert and pundit here sees this and will remember for a generation: after the US promised to protect Ukraine if it gave up its nuclear weapons, it is now openly supporting Russia. The great American betrayal.

Thank you, America! Money from diesel will help me kill even more Ukrainian children.

On the one hand, the amount that could be exported is so small that it will not lower diesel prices. On the other hand, even limited exports will help a cash strapped Russia make drones with which to kill more children & prolong the war. Three more kids were killed this morning in Zaporizhzhia.

Televising the execution of Nidal Hasan is about more than voyeuristic violence Authoritarianism requires rituals of death that seek to transform secular oppression into religious orthodoxy while communicating the need to murderously purge “the other.” jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/descent-in...

Last April, Alyssa (a RN) and her partner came to the Nanaimo Infusion from their home in New York. Just to check out the Island. Just in case. Today, they arrived in their new home: Port Alberni. Alyssa starts at West Coast General Hospital soon. 🙂 Welcome home, you two 🇨🇦

Thank you for coming forward. We need more voices from inside the uniform standing shoulder-to-shoulder with us to reject this extremism, protect our democratic norms, and demand accountability.

Some thoughts from May 2021 — and an article to go with it. This nightmare was preventable. They didn’t want to stop it. Article: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/a-public-f...
