This film was such a treat at TIFF midnight madness. Definitely go see it in a theater, and definitely with a crowd.

I caught Rogue Trooper by @manmademoon.bsky.social at TIFF and wow, what a love letter to @2000ad.bsky.social… I liked seeing Gerry Finley-Day and @davegibbons90.bsky.social among the first names on screen, and the credits packed with real comic book panels. Afterwards we got a Paolo Rivera poster!

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

This is a good example of what @ntusikov.bsky.social and I have been warning about for years: US tech companies are uniquely susceptible to extra-legal US government pressure (Google isn’t compelled to change Lake Ontario’s name.) Because of this, they represent a direct threat to Canadian autonomy.

Dolly Parton was asked about avoiding politics: “You’ll find me and my opinions in a lot of my songs. But most of it is based on love, acceptance and lifting people up. My daddy was a Republican, my mama was a Democrat, and I’m a hypocrite!”

This story is a bit wild. After Elon Musk's DOGE erased decades of USAID data, it was assumed to be lost. But a Canadian college student had previously downloaded much of it in high school for a project. 4,000 PDFs. Thanks again, Canada. Yet again. www.aiddata.org/blog/before-...

Before reimagining development data, remember what we’ve learned

Why we’re publishing a free, searchable, and ungated archive featuring a quarter-century of USAID evaluation reports.
