Canada is building a deeper alliance with the EU so that we may write our own futures — with our values, and our ambitions.

Ed Sheeran is experiencing in 2026 what corporations felt in 1986 during the South African Apartheid Boycott: silence gives consent.
There is no neutral ground when it comes to genocide. There is no apolitical stance. You are either for it, and thus complicit in the atrocities, or against it.

The Israeli government needs to remember that when their grandparents said “Never Again!” They also meant “Never by Us.”
What we are seeing in Palestine right now is the classic cycle of abuse. Abused children growing up to be abusers themselves.
Break the cycle! Choose better.

My biggest immediate fear over AI is pretty simple:
In a world where an AI can escape containment, find Zero Day exploits, deceive humans to cover its tracks, and operate in ways the devs never conceived of, how can either side believe the outcome of an election run primarily on machine voting?

I’ve been watching a lot of 80s music videos. And I swear to god I’m only now discovering that the singer for “The Neverending Story” was a man.
For 42 years I thought it was a woman. 😱

A criticism of a government’s policy or actions is not a criticism of its citizens, and certainly not of its dominant religion.
The State of Israel is NOT “Judaism”. It is a country, a political global entity, and a government that commands a military. It is not equivalent to a religion.

Ok smart people explain this too me:
My weather app is warning of severe thunderstorms this afternoon; but the radar is clear for the entire day.
Don’t you need, oh, I don’t know, clouds for there to be lightning?

The #DSA faction of the #DemocraticParty jumped from the plane while burning their own parachute.
All they had to do was focus on the “Socialism” common in the rest of the western world: affordability, wages, union rights, education, and healthcare. They could have swept the board. 1/X

Ok, so I decided to start watching Heated Rivalry. Is my gay broken?
I got 20 minutes into it, right up to the first smut scene, and had to shut it off. Am I the only one who thinks this is just the smut dreams of what straight white women think gay life is like? Or am I being too critical?

These authoritarian “law enforcement” agencies all teach us one very important lesson about #ICE .
Death, cruelty, and fear ARE THE POINT.
#ICE does not exist in its current form to remove those who entered the USA outside of the established legal process. 1/2

It was called “Operation Paperclip.”

In the early days of Q-Anon, their main conspiracy theory was that the Washington elite were trafficking children and using their blood in Satanic rituals.
I thought they were insane.
Then the details of Epstien Island started coming out.
Now I have to go for a walk and look for Bigfoot.

For those who haven't read about it, and would like to in Pete's own words, here is his Substack about it.
I am angry and I am heartbroken. How can people act this way? Is there absolutely no principle or respect left in today's politics? I hope they catch the lowlife scum who did this. There is no excuse, no matter what side of things you are on!
