You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

“After the nuclear disaster, some residents had to flee by bus, and animals were not allowed aboard.

"There were elderly people in tears, asking if someone could take their pet.”

"If I'm still going… it's because I carry with me the distress these animals experienced. That's what keeps me going."

Garderies subventionnées | Une victoire éclatante pour les droits des femmes À la veille de la Journée internationale des droits des femmes, les bonnes nouvelles se font rares. Lorsqu’il y en a une qui passe, il faut la saluer.

«La palme du populisme revient à Bernard Drainville, qui a enchaîné tous les préjugés à l’égard des demandeurs d’asile dénoncés dans le jugement. Selon lui, ces personnes viennent profiter de la générosité des contribuables québécois à leur détriment.»

Is it a good sign for a society when even the shills of capitalism have moved on from hopeful aspiration (use our products to get what you want) to hopeless resignation (use our products to pretend you got what you want)?

The idea that imperfect victims aren’t worth defending is much bigger than me, and is something I had to speak out about.

What kind of world does it create when only some of us are deemed worthy of institutional support and safety?

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!
(Also awesome)

Ce qu’on ne sait pas sur l’Iran Je ne pourrai jamais exactement savoir toutes les forces qui triturent les entrailles du peuple iranien cette semaine.

Astronomers for Planet Earth are submitting a statement about some of the proposed megaconstellations that would ruin ground-based astronomy to the FCC.

You can read the statement below: 🔭☄️

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“

A double-tap strike on little girls at school.

the one who loved horses, the one who was a great goalkeeper, the one who kept a diary every day, the one who held her sister's hand when they walked to school, the one who read Harry Potter in English, the one who collected old coins, the one who drew rainbows for her grandmother ...

They have no soy either. I’m impressed, I’d given up! Now to find some…

Quebec's femicide rate rises amid systemic failure for victims of gender-based violence Quebec has seen more than one femicide per week in January alone, a systemic failure for victims of gender-based, intimate-partner violence.

“There have been 7 femicides in Quebec since Jan. 1, 2026, each committed by someone these women knew and (at one point) loved. This isn’t just tragic — it’s an epidemic of violence.”

Did you know that the bees that need saving are NOT honeybees?

Honeybees are the dairy cows of bees. People brought them over from Europe to make us honey.

The problem with honeybees, esp in resource-limited ecosystems (like hey! cities!) is that they compete with our native bees for food.

It’s a good evening to read a novel.

"We will not sit back and watch as this government lays out the welcome mat for making Alberta the 51st State in breach of our Treaties."

Mikisew Cree First Nation has filed a lawsuit for Danielle Smith’s flagrant disregard for Treaties.

This is the cutest, most heartwarming thing

A giant stuffed flamingo looks longingly out a window while sitting on an ugly yellow chair

A giant pink axolotl takes a nap on an extremely ugly rainbow geometric couch

First, important for later in the story we have a collection of giant stuffies- a goose, a flamingo, an axolotl, and bear(s). They just kind of live in the building and have adventures.

KATIE RULES!!

Hi! Anti-vaxxers are trying (and succeeding) to kill children!

After watching the way the Epstein victims and survivors have been treated, no one should ever again ask the question: why didn't she report?

Lines of academy cadets, one in command red seated but at attention while in a wheelchair.

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."

That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

Holy moly: Seattle’s millionaire tax, passed last year, is expected to bring in $115 million in its 1st year, way more than the $50 million anticipated.

The funds will go to the city’s new social housing developer publicola.com/2026/02/11/t...

"Les suivis médicaux privilégiés par le gouvernement Legault dans son entente avec les médecins de famille coûtent deux fois plus cher à l’État par rendez-vous. Et dans un cas sur cinq, un patient ne réussit jamais à obtenir des soins dans le milieu où il est censé être suivi." 1/3

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Since the early days of the space program, astronauts have quarantined before missions because any illness could be disastrous. It’s eminently logical — not “extreme” — for athletes who’ve trained their WHOLE LIVES for one event to take similar precautions in order to stay in peak physical condition
