‘You were right’: Ed Miliband tells critics Labour was wrong on Gaza

“I want to say to the millions of people in this country and indeed elsewhere who have been moved and outraged by the plight of the Palestinian people: we hear you, you were right." There's lots of room for cynicism, but I also had lost hope that I would ever see this day. Take the win.

Also, that was wild exaggeration from the receiver, buying the call.

The framing here is harmful and abusive. At one time you could leave a narcissistic abuser behind by the simple expedient of geography. There was no need to explicitly "go no contact". But now narcissistic parents can use social media to hold their adult children hostage - perpetuating abuse.

Thomas Linner @tmlinner.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

The phenomenon of adult children going no-contact with their narcissistic parents is deeply misunderstood. Social media prolongs coercive power. Going explicitly "no-contact" is a last resort that didn't used to be necessary before social media gave abusers perpetual access to their adult children.

It’s interesting that Project Hail Mary works so well as a film given that one of its core conceits - the main character recovering memories as the story progresses - is pretty clunky throughout. What does work works so well that what would ruin a lot of other films barely registers.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

You’d think Vladdy had dropped Macklemore from his tour by the reaction to his (poor) response to a leading question about his (sizeable) contract. He’s apologized, which is more than enough. He didn’t have a great season. He didn’t respond well to a media question. That’s it. #BlueJays

Game of Thrones implodes as a program in its final seasons. It should not be on a list of “best” TV shows, if overall quality and narrative matter. But it is popular, and so can’t not be high on the list. Not being able to tell hard truths is a bit too on brand @nytimes.com

Wyatt’s candidacy could distract from Transcona council race

Any legislative solution would probably fail a legal challenge; criminal conviction is a bright red line. But Russ Wyatt can and should be publicly confronted for this choice. It’s up to Winnipeg and its citizens to make it clear to him - and others like him - that his time is done. #wpgpoli

Remember back before marijuana legalization when we used to tell people that pot “couldn’t be more available than it is now? (read: then)” Yeah. We lied. I think a new pot shop just opened up above the local pot shop, kitty corner from another pot shop and down the street from a pot shop.

Sorry, when do we arrest people for protesting at Parliament Hill? I don’t think I’ve been to Parliament Hill without protesters there. What’s going on? #cdnpoli

I think it's ill-advised and anti-democratic to introduce an omnibus bill, cite a crisis, and rush major changes to labour and environmental law. It's going to provoke aggressive resistance and risks, ironically, slowing down the projects the government is so keen on. It's going to be a huge mess.

As Yom Kippur came to a close this evening, I was privileged to join my friend, Ruth Messinger, at a break fast in her home. It was an honor to celebrate this moment of renewal with many of our Jewish neighbors. May it be a year of justice, joy and peace.

I’m concerned that the election is weeks out and there is no strong vision/plan for an immediate agenda to rein in the fascist authoritarianism. It needs to be articulated so that the election functions as a clear mandate for accountability. Who is getting impeached first?

I am pro-Palestine. Jewish Canadians in Belleville hit the floor in their own synagogue last night for fear of their lives. To belittle that experience is the same as doing so for a mosque attack, a gay-bashing, or any other attack on a community being who they are in this country. Disgusting.
