Gonna be a big “people who don’t do politics finding out the politics still do them” week.

But you cannot draw the masses into politics without drawing in the women as well. For under capitalism the female half of the human race is doubly oppressed.

Tehran has merely challenged Israel’s dominance in the region, not its survival. Yet the claim that Iran existentially threatens the Jewish state is rarely disputed in mainstream American debate, even by politicians who oppose war, @peterbeinart.bsky.social writes.

"If there is a woman oppressed by colonialism, we cannot achieve feminism goals."

Protesters in South Korea's capital, Seoul, rallied in solidarity with Palestinian and Iranian women on International Women’s Day, marching toward the US Embassy.

Iran has so far engaged in an ethical war, observing principles of proportionality.

The US & Israeli bombing of a water desalination plant in Iran is a war crime.

It is a violation of the Geneva convention because they are essential for civilian survival. It is also devastating for the region.

Why is my local city and public library looking to pay $50/hr for an AI Artist Residency? The Calgary Public Library is offering $8,000 for an AI Artist Residency while Canadian artists face funding cuts and 16% grant acceptance…

"Every dollar directed toward normalizing AI art generation is a dollar that didn’t go toward a muralist, a poet, a filmmaker, a ceramicist... Every institutional stamp of approval on this technology makes the next round of cuts to human artists that much easier to justify."

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

Me too! Loved that old room upstairs when it still had wooden floors. Thanks for the reminder tonight.

Love this band. And I caught them a handful of times when they came through town too. So great live.

I'm happy to share a new project – The Golden Age of Community Radio. It's a directory of awe-inspiring stations across the world that I discovered while promoting an album last year. It's also a resource for other musicians wanting to find new places to send their music. radio.surfacepressure.net

I am so grateful for what and how you share here. During such a challenging time, know that how you are in the world (and on social media) makes positive ripples of goodness all the way out to complete strangers. Thank. you.

It feels like today is shaping up to be one of those days where it's just TOO MUCH to be online. Go easy, comrades.

Anti-imperialism should be the foundation of your politics. If it isn't, you need to study more.

Fun note on this article, this company uses comfyUI, which boasts a collection of some of the most unethical and exploitative GenAi models.

This whole deal is Netflix normalizing the exploitation of the creative workers—whose works GenAi companies stole to train their models— they hope to replace.

Carney *explicitly campaigned* on increased funding for the CBC. Just a straight up lie.

This is a profound continental divide. Canadians overwhelmingly view other Canadians, even those unlike them, as being good people. Americans, more than any other country, view their neighbours and fellow citizens as bad people. Anti-Americanism flourishes in the United States

I have to do Career Day at my kids' school, what's a good way to teach them about science? I was thinking of giving them a fun activity and then making them fill out a lot of paperwork before abruptly canceling it

Canada’s women’s health strategy ended in 1999. It shows. Misdiagnoses. Blind spots. Worse outcomes for things we know how to treat.

Less than seven per cent of Canada’s health-research funding focuses on women. When a system is built without testing for half its users, inequity is the only possible outcome
