As Canada becomes increasingly known for exporting wildfire smoke, is now the time to build oil pipelines? I speak to Jaime Poisson at CBC’s Front Burner about what Carney is prioritizing for investment with little to no public debate.

Cannot emphasize enough that the morass we find ourselves in everywhere is a result of this commitment to white supremacy. The eugenic health policy, the belief and desire for US autarky, meddling & murder in Latin America, the half-cocked belief that the US could bully Iran- it really is.

don't worry, there's only like 50 years of hard data, much of which involves this very company, showing that these megadeals are pointlessly disastrous for labor, consumers, markets, and product quality
"TD Cowen analyst Doug Creutz wrote in a note Wednesday that investors should hold their shares of Skydance as the firm remained “quite cautious on the ability of the company and its management to avoid integration and execution problems that have bedeviled other major media mergers.”

“The risks (leverage, integration) of the combination with WBD are high; we remain skeptical that SKYD management will be able to create value from this deal when so many other major media deals have failed,” the note read."

Some writers are trying to explore lines of enquiry and work through an idea and encourage us to think, be haunted, and to deal with it. But many of us want just buzzwords, quotables, or a checklist. Like Quincy Jones said, "We need more songs, man. Fucking songs, not hooks."

People w Long COVID are stigmatized & ignored throughout society. In prison, it's a situation of almost total silence. Despite very high COVID infection rates, there's no talk abt Long COVID cases. That's a result of the way prisons treat medical needs in general. thesicktimes.org/2026/09/29/i...

While there are no data sources on Long COVID in prison, experts suspect rates of the disease may be higher there than in the general population. They face high reinfection risks and poor access to me...
