I am struggling to grasp the number of people lately who don't consider social class & income inequality in their analyses of things. Are we losing more empathy? Is it because they've never experienced poverty first-hand?

Ex-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior. Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her. Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.

Doug Ford is spending $48M ripping out bike lanes. It will not improve drive times. It will get people injured and killed. Hurl this man to the trash heap where he belongs. Throwing him in jail would also be acceptable but we all know Ontario cops will never hold him accountable for anything.

Doug Ford stands beside a sign that says DESTRUCTION AHEAD.

Getting off X has been remarkably transformative for my work, my mindset, and my mental health. I would honestly consider it a drag and a liability for most people in all of the above areas. There’s very little benefit and huge risk to posting there, even if you have to keep following it for work.

I left X almost exactly two years ago because of the violent, celebrated rape culture that was dominating the platform. Two years later, I’m undeniably better off, and the culture around sexual violence at large is arguably worse. I believe X has played a serious role in that.

Per the Middle East Studies Association, since October 7, 76 North American academics have been fired for speaking out against the genocide in Palestine. Two-thirds of those people are non-white. 16.5% are Jewish. afi.mesana.org/resource/les...

Retaliation goes far beyond firing. Of 196 recorded incidents of employer retaliation against employees speaking out on Palestine, nearly 40% (76) resulted in termination. Retaliation that does not rise to the level of termination is an even larger phenomenon.
All categories of academic workers are at risk. Of the 162 individuals whose employment status was disclosed, 30% involved non-tenure track faculty or instructors, and 36% were tenured.
People of color are disproportionately affected. Of the 134 cases recorded in the AFI database in which respondents’ identification is known, two-thirds were people of color: 30% SWANA; 10.5% Black; and 27% other POC. Additionally, 16.5% identify as Jewish. More than half of those targeted whose gender is known are women. Such retaliation compounds the abuse of already racist and sexist work environments.

Wow, they're note messing around: "penalties can include fines of up to $2,000, community service and, in some cases, up to 90 days in jail." You can run somebody over and kill them with a car in New Jersey and get a smaller penalty than that!

I harp on this all the time, but there is so much peer reviewed solid evidence that we benefit from small talk with strangers, knowing our neighbours, chatting with our baristas, etc. And I believe that our shift away from that stuff is at the root of all our antisocial behaviour right now.

All Bike lane projects are road safety projects: making it uncomfortable+ impossible to drive fast was the point. If you want to drive fast, do it on a highway, away from where people live, walk & cycle. People were driving at an avg speed that would kill a human and that's what will happen again.

One thing about people citing slower car travel times on Bloor West following the bike lane install is, well, that was kind of the point. Drivers were **averaging** nearly 20 km/h over the current speed limit at spots. Road revamp has brought speeds closer to limit. www.toronto.ca/wp-content/u...

Two bar charts comparing average and 95th percentile vehicle speeds in km/h across five Toronto locations over three time periods (2021/23, 2024, 2025/26), with a posted speed limit of 40 km/h indicated by a dotted line.
