“All of the best-informed people are profoundly depressed these days” is exactly as ill an omen as you think it is.

i hope the next global trend will be empathy and critical thinking.

"Employment in Ontario decreased by a significant 52,900 jobs in 2026 Q1... This marked the steepest quarterly job loss since early 2009, excluding the pandemic... All major age groups saw job losses in 2026." Doug Ford is a jobs disaster. #onpoli

I’ve been following tech girlies on TikTok. Not software tech, the one who build with hardware and I have so much to learn

One girl is building her own mp3 and this one built a communication device. She’s also converting a 1970s Yamaha bike to electric, incredible

[claire de lune @ClaireMPLS]

dunno if it’s possible to overstate how potentially transformative it is to have a player like wemby become the face of the nba. a bunch of boys/young men growing up seeing this kind of unabashed raw emotion and care factor is big time

@RaptorsNationCP These guys don’t watch Raptors basketball

Capitalism has ruined people’s worldview, making extreme selfishness and greed seem normal. It’s not humane, or normal, to believe that human beings should be denied shelter, food, and healthcare simply because they have no money. This is dystopian.

[Back On This App and It’s Still Hell @wickdchiq]

This guy is doing it. Everything centrists and moderates and liberals said was a pipe dream because “that’s not how the world works” is getting done quickly by this mayor. So yes, it is possible and this is the level of leadership we should be demanding

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Young people are always told what not to do. But what should you do?

Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games?

https://t.co/Nb8rOAGO4T is a map of free and affordable things to do this summer that we made just for you.

Because public programs mean nothing if you don't know how to access them. 


[Avi Lewis @avilewis]

1/ Right now, a bill called C-22 is moving through Parliament. It would let police pull information on who you talk to, when, and where, all without a warrant. It's at committee this week. 🧵

[Joe Applebrook #SaveYokaiWatch @joe_applebrook]

It’s always baffled me that I have never seen anyone, left or right, use a different photo of this guy. I thought it was just the only decent picture that’s publicly available but no there’s a bunch of others

[Zazu x Raptors Cookout @ZaZuOke]

Part of the problem, our own media don’t rate our players properly!!

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

It’s really something how billionaires have rigged the rules to let them vacuum up all of society’s wealth & then fund think tanks and buy media properties that blame poverty and homelessness and despair on literally everything other than billionaires vacuuming up all the wealth

[Sports Business Journal @SBJ]

Canada’s first WNBA franchise is already setting a new benchmark for league expansion.

Backed by nearly $150M, @tempobasketball launched strong with sellouts, national reach and an aggressive commercial strategy.

One day, everyone will always have been against this.

BREAKING: The US just quietly removed UN expert Francesca Albanese from its sanctions list, a week after a federal judge temporarily blocked the measures over free speech violations, according to Reuters.

This was never about law or policy … it was about silencing among the most powerful advocates for Palestinian human rights.

Judge Richard Leon saw through it. He called out the Trump administration for targeting @FranceskAlbs "because of the idea or message expressed"—for daring to recommend arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant for their crimes in Gaza.

They weaponized sanctions to weaken her mission, to make an example of anyone who dares challenge Israeli impunity. But Francesca never backed down.

The prosecutor’s ICC charges against Netanyahu remain. The genocide in Gaza continues. But today, truth scored a win.

[Sizwe SikaMusi @SizweLo]

bell hooks said that White people will meet a Black person who completely challenges every racial stereotype that they have, but rather than giving up the stereotypes, they create a special category for that person and say, things like “Well, you’re not like other Black people”, instead of saying, “My ideas of Black people were too narrow”.

This is called “subtyping” and it leads to the survival of negative stereotypes because the new category individual who’s supposedly “not like the others” is mentally isolated from the group.

What this shows is that bigotry is all about protecting an existing hierarchy and it doesn’t matter much whether a person is exposed to other people or not. Which is why meeting intelligent, kind, accomplished, or complex Black people does not dismantle prejudice if someone is emotionally invested in keeping the stereotype intact.

Exposure to facts and figures doesn’t change the situation either. Someone can know the statistics on crime, education, poverty, or discrimination and still keep racial stereotypes because the stereotype preserves a sense of superiority and avoids confronting historical responsibility.

This is part of why bell hooks further argued that racism is emotional and ideological more than just purely ignorant, which is then why facts by themselves usually do not overcome a worldview that a person is motivated to preserve.
