Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. 

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

I am afraid of spoilers, but should I watch this? Emmett really wants us to watch this and Backrooms. Will doesn’t like horror (exceptions for Jordan Peele), but I like horror if the gore is not the point.

At first, I thought it was supposed to be your favourite during that decade and then I would have to say Heathers during the 80s and a horse movie I watched compulsively during the 70s, called ‘Blue Fire Lady,’ which is probably total buns.

Never thought I'd see the day when Temu Charlie Rose and Count Orlok got together on Fox News because they needed to lob middle school cafeteria insults at a Senate candidate in order to mutually affirm their gender to each other.

this is in no sense how it should have happened. but it is precisely because we find ourselves in a situation that requires war, death, and destruction to get well positioned political actors behind accelerating energy transition that we should demolish fossil capital as decisively as we can

The Lin Centre’s Research Group on Global Justice (RGGJ) and Critical Social Theory at McGill invite you to a conference on: 

Palestine and Global Justice: Revisiting the Terms of Political Theory

April 24-25, McGill University

Palestine and Global Justice: Revisiting the Terms of Political Theory examines how Israel’s genocide in Gaza has exposed both the political stakes of Palestine—self-determination, occupation, solidarity, and international law—and the  limits of core political and legal categories such as global justice, human rights, war, colonialism, and resistance. The conference asks whether existing conceptual and normative frameworks remain adequate after Gaza and seeks to rethink the key terms of political theory in light of the ongoing crisis.


Invited speakers include: 

Nasser Abourahme
Esmat Elhalaby
Samera Esmeir
Murad Idris
Nadim Khoury
Darryl Li
Nicola Perugini
Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian
Maya Wind

Pre-registration required: https://forms.gle/PssC14EwgEGh9pf56

Co-sponsored by the Groupe de recherche en philosophie politique, the McGill Refugee Research Group, and the Critical Media Lab

From Evan: it's a huge night of hope for the trans community. The Republicans went all in on anti-trans ads in multiple races and so far there's no sign it got them anything. Perhaps the page can be turned on blaming us for Harris' loss last year.

Zohran Mamdani wins! He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win. Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes
Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

The U.S. government is trying to hoodwink vulnerable seniors into voting red in 2026 before the pain hits in 2027. Over 7M seniors rely on Medicaid. Nearly 2M live in nursing homes where Medicaid pays the bills. Republicans just slashed nearly $1 trillion from it. My mom just got this email…
