Doug Ford still has three weeks left of his 20-week summer break. Jealous? Should’ve been born rich, taken over your dad’s business, inherited the family home, and scammed your way into becoming the laziest, most corrupt premier with the lowest approval rating in all of Canada, babe. #OnPoli
An egg-shaped plastic toy from the 70s called a Weeble. It has a round face, pale skin, slightly sinister expression, and is under four active police investigations. Folks find it charming because it hands out free hot dogs once a year and pretends to be a man of the people. Not pictured: A small red shovel and a Tim Hortons egg sammich.

Hey beer-lovers! This is John Adair, the owner of Sooke Brewing Company, and he is a Residential School denialist. So when we say “drink Canadian,” we don’t mean his beer. ☺️ #yyj Fuck this white guy.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

Again, this is what happens when you don’t have diverse teams and boards. Lacking just ONE person who could say “oh no, this is a terrible look.” DEI saves money and prevents a lot of pain 😡

The older I get, the more clear it is that all our safety and well-being is intertwined. The same forces pushing racism are targeting trans people and immiserating the disabled and extracting everything they can from all of us. We gotta stand up for everyone because everyone is all of us.

this aged well first article (Oct. 2022), second article [🎁] (May 2026) #TOcouncil #TOpoli
From an Oct. 2022 interview with Parthi Kandavel: "Q. Why have you decided to run?

A. It matters to me what happens in my community. I pledge to reign [sic] in reckless development and protect our neighbourhoods. I’ve committed to re-investing in the residents, communities and businesses of Scarborough Southwest. The mandate of Councillor is to represent the residents - I’ll do exactly that. This is why our campaign is proud to have taken the No Developer Money pledge. I will only be accountable to the residents of our ward, not to any outside or developer interests."From a May 2026 Toronto Star article: "A Toronto city councillor’s dealings with developers appear to be the focus of the police investigation into allegations against him. 

The Ontario Provincial Police probe into Coun. Parthi Kandavel was prompted by a watchdog complaint from the owners of a development in his Scarborough Southwest ward, according to the company’s lawyer, while sources allege he sought money in exchange for allowing a different project in the area to go ahead."

I am not surprised that the Pentagon supports trolling Canadian teenagers who volunteer to serve our nation. We are proud of our cadets. As for the Pentagon, they abandoned sailors without provisions, committed war crimes at sea and murdered 168 school girls. What a fucking disgusting institution.

Very big jump for the NDP here, and it's more than reversion to the mean; they typically pulled ~20% before collapsing in the Carney rush in 2025, so hitting nearly 26 here took more than just their voters coming home. Promising signs for Avi's organizing strategy, still in very early days.

The Ontario govt took $60M out of public education and handed it to Staples. Tomorrow, 80K elementary teachers each get $750 of the misappropriated money to buy overpriced classroom supplies at an 🇺🇸 corporation. Please remember this the next time Captain Canada tells you to #BuyCanadian. #OntEd

No cheating. Share the last photo of the sky from your camera roll.
In a scene from Alfama in Lisbon, a woman climbs a broad set of stairs between two ranks of three-storey residential buildings. A tree grows in the centre of the stairway further along, and the buildings are framed by a blue sky.

And... that's all, folks. San Francisco State University is shutting down its Estuary and Ocean Science Center, the only marine lab on the shores of San Francisco Bay.
screenshot of an email that starts with:

"Dear Friends of the Estuary & Ocean Science Center, 

I’m very sad to say that SFSU has started the process of shutting down the Estuary & Ocean Science Center / Romberg Tiburon Campus. The doors will be closed by the end of September. As you know, SFSU has been saying for years that they can no longer afford to operate the RT campus, with continued declines in enrollment at the university. The 53-acre site, with all its deferred maintenance, was required to become fully self-supporting. Unfortunately, maintenance and operation funds have been very difficult to find, even as grant funding has grown for our projects, programs, and student training."
