In Toronto vote for Sarah McVie for mayor this Monday!

even abstracted into hypothetical maths this doesn't make any sense. picking the lesser evil still makes things more evil, just by a lesser amount

No, I wasn't wrong. The fact that this still hasn't been resolved shows that the mutual blame game between Donald and Elon is a way to leave you with the unavoidable conclusion that they are both fine with this decision and that they took this decision together.

I was wrong, it wasn't Donald who ordered starlink to reduce speed. That is my mistake. It was Musk. Trump tells the truth sometimes and we should keep that in mind. It's his way of making sure we keep listening.

But this is a high level critical decision of his administration and he would like to find out who took that decision? That's another way of saying, "It wasn't me." And so it should count as a confession: He made that decision.

Today less than 8 hours after I sent my request, Toronto Mayor Candidate Sarah #McVie and her team personally came to my door to drop-off her electoral sign (and pick up my small donation)👍. However, I was disappointed in her. She's supposed to be a comic and didn't get me to laugh, not even close.

You can memorise lots of data very quickly? Then head to the Fall Competition of the Canadian Memory Championships this coming Saturday. There are still a few spots available and there is no fee to participate. It will take place in Room 2.16 at the Reference Library

The Carney gov't wants to declare the Deep Geological Repository, a burial and abandonment project for all of Canada's high level nuclear fuel waste, a “Project of National Interest”, thereby bypassing any impact assessments of health and safety. #cdnpoli #onpoli shrlnk.ca/s/uF2sKlSV

Let's make sure you're buying and supporting Canadian made cruelty? Let's be patriotic about our own nastiness? Boycott animal agriculture. I use vegan egg all the time in cooking: one table spoon of ground flax with 1 and a half table spoon of water. Let sit for 5 minutes. Other options exist...

Right, but taxing the rich will make the state rich and will lead to a conflict of interests where the state wants to help the rich because they are alike. Only when you limit the amount of money that a person can possess, do you possibly have a workable solution.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

100 Followers today! I shouldn't make a big deal out of that because it isn't a big deal. So let's belittle that. I probably don't deserve that many and some will likely unfollow me after this post. If you need 1K posts to get 100 followers,.you may as well have just 25, right? Anyway thank you

This is big news. It's also news that big oil company don't want you to spread because you're more likely to notice how corruption is the only thing that keeps them polluting the present and future. When there's a solution to a problem, the problem has a problem.

☀️ Solar has officially overtaken nuclear. In 2025: ☀️ Solar: +510 GW 🌬️ Wind: +159 GW ☢️ Nuclear: +1.5 GW Solar also generated more electricity globally than nuclear for the first time. The energy transition isn't waiting around. shrlnk.ca/s/flW8XLIG

This is another side effect of the First Past The Post voting system.

We're in a total "FUCKERY" epidemic. Know that it's the ultimate ultimate power move. And they don't give a flying fuck that they're lying to us. This my friend, is where we are.

But you're ok with artificial insemination, speciesm, raising animals to kill them, and eating a diet of animals high in greenhouse gas emissions that warm up the earth. And you think you will face no consequences for doing that, right? The consequences of burning forests for cattle is big pay!

It's "too loudly." "Loudly" is an adverb and must be used when in conjunction with the verb "honking". "Loud" is an adjective to be used with nouns. They were worse than truckers, I bet. They were likely like a Musk spaceship on takeoff. Everyone knows that about seniors.

I wonder if most Canadians boycotted this law by going #vegan if it would get reversed in a hurry. #Veganism means less use of pesticides (including the unhealthy onea now permitted). But it also means a reduced GDP, and that might get Carney's to react. Boycotts are still legal. Let's act.

This one of the 5 pathways to my apartment. This suggests drug use if I am correct. I don't know what to say. Is this being high? Using bad drugs is like using First Past The Post voting. People don't envy you. I wish him a good day anyway. Where are the safe injection sites, Doug?

☀️ Solar panels cost $5-$6/watt around 2000. Today? Around 12 cents/watt. The FT calls solar “offensively cheap.” Meanwhile, Ontario is planning enormously expensive new nuclear. Let’s give cheaper, faster renewables a fair shot. shrlnk.ca/s/QdTLdbI3

We have over a dozen political parties but only two of them are regularly selected to govern and only three parties regularly get their candidates elected. When only the same two goods in a store get purchased they end up with only their packaging being different. And both become misleading.

I think we should rename the Lake Ontario the E. Jean Carroll Lake. A rape victim who got a big settlement against the US President deserves even more. Let's honor her by having her name grace our Great Lake. You have to big up the victims. Then the bullies go quiet. www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

Canada is short on FAIR leadership. Our leaders were elected using a dysfunctional voting system that is being gamed by unscrupulous and complicit opportunists. We urgently need to get rid of First Past The Post voting and adopt Proportional Representation.

Boycott is too weak an action in this case. Black listing Google makes much more sense. A boycott is against a company that try to serve clients but does wrong along the way. Now, by its actions, Google has just proven to be there to serve the government. You don't boycott that, you banish that.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

Boycott Google, as it shamelessly panders to that idiotic vulgar slob.

To de-Google means to de-Nazifying. I am all for it.

Here are some ways to “De-Google” your life. Other suggestions welcome. If this latest corrupt capitulation to Trump isn’t enough for you, read @doctorow.pluralistic.net’s Enshittification chapter on how Google killed competition and then deliberately made their products worse to increase revenue.

You know know the French joke about Ontarians? In French, Ontarien sounds exactly like "On était rien" which means, "we were nothing". So becoming American would be a substantial improvement over what we were before, at least for franco-Ontarians like me.

Judges say Ford's attempted killing of cyclists is legal because it's political policy. Political action is above the Constitution. This sounds a lot like fascist judges or paid off stooges. Police! Police! That's just a rhetorical call in emptiness toronto.citynews.ca/2026/08/14/f...

Photo isn't clear but it's 3 uniforms going after a e-scooter. This is the first instance of any crack down on these vehicles. A minute earlier an e-scooter nearly ran me over on the side walk. She was running away from the heat?

My name is also the reason you can't have proportional representation in Canada.

My name is not raising your gas prices. My name is not the reason we’re in an illegal war. My name is not the reason you can’t afford your healthcare. My name is not the reason that you can’t afford your rent or your insurance.

A bunch of cops cheering at a political rally in uniform is a paradox. It definitely isn't normal, and in fact, it isn't possible. Here you know that what you see can't be what it is. The police force simply fails to live up to its name. Monkeys in police uniforms are still monkeys.

Radley Balko@radleybalko.bsky.social

A bunch of cops cheering at a political rally — in uniform — as the president and AG endorse a candidate and attack their political opponents is not normal. And it is not okay.

Cycling southbound at Church/ Yonge #toronto, a flock of westbound pigeons flies right before me and as they do, I get hit hard on the bike helmet (protecting my head) apparently by a poor or careless flyer. I wrongly thought pigeons never flew into people. I never saw it coming. Wear your helmet!

Yes. I remember one Ford, (was it Doug or Rob?) saying that bicycles (regular ones) didn't belong on the road. And if a truck is going to hit it well, you can deduce he'll blame it on the "dangerous" cyclist in any case. These bullying politicians dominate the narrative and it's so darn maddening.

I think you need to call that supreme corruption not because our Supreme Court would rubber stamp it--I am sure they would--but because unlike with other people, police doesn't go after blatantly and brazenly corrupt actions when it's elected officials doing it.

It should happen even earlier than that, however. Solar technology is already improving year over year. As is battery technology. We can literally buy this stuff off the shelves and install it, but our corrupt, no-good government is Hellbent on rebuilding coal we have to shut down in about 3 years.

World leaders have power only because these narcissists have narcissist feed, people. We need to see action from the narcissist's feed, the people. Go vegan, fight fossile fuel use. Don't wait for worldeaders as they are 89% parasites hooked on fossil fuels.

We’re not even at the peak of El Niño yet, but the wildfires across Europe and the floods in South Asia are already devastating. Will we ever see real and urgent climate action from our world leaders?
