Nobody has receipts like Goldsbiephone. (He will take all of us down one day, one by one)

Quick reminder: As of right now, the result of the election is locked in. Politicians don't "pull ahead" or "catch up." It's just the arbitrary way that the ballots are counted and reported.

Thank you to everyone who worked during advance voting and election day! There were close to 10,000 election officials at more than 1,350 voting places today supporting Toronto’s 2026 municipal election. Thank you for helping your community vote and for supporting democracy!

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

just saw this absolutely cracked ad during the michigan game about how thanks to aoc and ilhan omar, white people can't show their faces in public anymore

We've had transcripts of Thiel's secret lectures on the Antichrist for a minute -- he's been publishing relevant parts of them, so we had David Gibson, director of the Center on Religion and Culture at Fordham University, pull them apart for us. Gift link! www.theverge.com/tech/1014252...

The Toronto Shitshow is TOMORROW! Don’t miss this chaotic and beautiful event.

appears that hegseth impulsively blurted this out to look tough, but had not discussed it with others prior, causing admin to scramble. he did not think through the consequences of livestreaming. these do not seem like good qualities for someone making war-related decisions.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Announced this morning, @cycletoronto.bsky.social is seeking leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada

October night feeling sticky like summer.

All Canadians should be eligible for a free shingles vaccine Canada may not have a national health care system, but we should still have coherent national policies on essential issues like vaccination, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com

And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services. Twitter must be a ghost town by now.

Top ten most foreboding sentence I've ever read.

AHHHHHHH THE ONLY REASON HE EVEN STAYS TO DIE AT TROY IN THE ILIAD IS TO AVENGE PATROCLUS. IT'S A POEM ABOUT HIS RAGE. THE OPENING LINES ARE PRETTY CLEAR WHY CAN'T A SINGLE DEFENDER OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION READ A SINGLE THING FROM THE WESTERN CANON AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Anthropic is out with new nonsense about Claude (or the collection of models called Claude) deserving moral consideration and/or be able to feel distress, so my inbox is filling up with journos asking me to comment. I've also got a day job, so here is a brief set of public comments on this: >>

Fuck this. I don’t know what else to say. Prison kills. mississippitoday.org/2026/10/07/c...

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Our education system is being intentionally and systematically underfunded to create a crisis. It's working. Please keep this story in mind when you hear Paul Calandra and Doug Ford talk about their govt's "historic investments in education." Voting has consequences. So does not voting. #OntEd

My school has ~400 students, 85% of whom speak a language other than English at home. Six years ago, my school was allocated 3 ELL teachers. Students in Gr. 2-8 received 40-150 minutes of language support a day, depending on their needs. This year, my school was allocated half a teacher. #OntEd

When my father was faculty at Cornell he was stopped by the police chief in the street & asked who he was & where he was going. When he balked at the fact that no one but him, an Arab man, was being asked, the chief said “I’m just protecting students” Same guy failed to investigate 7 rapists.

Canadians of a certain age will understand.

i’m not in dereliction of duty if i refuse to let a stranger talk to me on here. even if they’re a very nice person aside from saying one annoying thing to me i still don’t have to let them talk to me!

Living in very Red East Texas, I often feel like my vote doesn’t count. The worst possible Republican candidate always wins the election. We have not had a good Governor since Ann Richards, over 30 years ago. But I’m definitely voting. We all need to vote.

They come in regular envelopes so they cant be easily id and stolen.

lol how did I miss this I just got an email advertising a prize for 1 MILLION dollars to 5 ‘social scientists who tell controversial truths at great professional cost“. The head of the committee is Roland fryer, it’s got Vanderbilt report alums, and it’s bankrolled by Bill Ackman And NerI Oxman.

“Ed Sheeran’s cousin Jethro Sheeran.” Nope. Thanks, I’m good. That’s enough.

When I want to make my wife laugh I adopt a character I call Exasperated Narcissist, wherein I complain outlandishly about other people treating me in perfectly reasonable ways, as if they’re greatly offensive. Our marriage relies on her never realizing that this is in fact my real personality.

Oh, this is a big deal. www.vanguarddefence.ca/p/canada-for...

"As the country's ocean envoy, Fox Carney will "'advance Canada's leadership by connecting ocean conservation, climate action, Indigenous leadership, economic resilience and maritime security,'" wait wut?

It’s a bit odd to talk about potential costs when in reality nobody has *any* idea what Carney actually has in mind, I can’t remember a single time in the past 50 years where one man was given such latitude to determine Canada’s future in the absence of *any* public debate or discussion.

The reason we say the GOP and MAGA are white supremacist movements is because they are.
