- When 69 ostriches die in a few months, you have an outbreak. But when you can leverage the far right grift mill, I guess you make your stand. Mostly I'm incredibly disappointed by Animal Justice here. Siding with negligent owners is not helping these animals. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

- Reposted by Ian BushfieldThere is no amount of screaming that will express how angry I am for the women of America right now, and no amount of caution I can issue fellow Canadians to never, EVER, take our abortion rights for granted. Eyes WIDE open. Never believe them when they say they won't do it. They will.

- I'm not going to say I regret deleting my Twitter account but you're not getting this kind of unhinged shit on Bluesky
- Top performing Reddit political posts (in your average regional sub) * Crime is out of control * Why we need nuclear power * Ban the immigrants * Tax the churches
- Man, fuck UK Labour

- Reposted by Ian Bushfield“FDA Commissioner Marty Makary is sending signals that FDA will likely not authorize a COVID-19 booster vaccine this year for children, and perhaps not for the general population as a whole, saying he “cannot, in good faith” recommend booster vaccination for children.”
- The two genders
- The US Navy is losing to the sea
- Another Navy jet falls into sea, marking fourth major mishap in months wapo.st/4dlyTda
- Reposted by Ian BushfieldWe don’t currently know whether microplastics have an important impact on health and that is very worthy of investigation but, I have to say, this the current discourse has many hallmarks of a health panic and I am not currently worrying about it.

- OOF The entire NDP exec need to be fired for sending five emails a day asking for money and yet raising less money that the previous quarter

- Okay but when do they announce the election of the Antipope?

- Reposted by Ian BushfieldJust sayin', as someone who grew up Catholic: if you can call the new pope by his chosen name instead of the name he was assigned at birth, you can do the same for the trans folks in your life. It's a sign of respect in both cases.
- Very disappointed Pope Pizzaballa is not happening.
- There are huge correlations between rising income inequality and mental health crises & crime. But I'm not sure Sim & Sturko are here to talk about redistributing wealth. Eg pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
- "The current evidence does not support that the benefits of involuntary treatment outweigh the risks and costs.”
- Powerful statement from @albertadoctors.bsky.social on proposed forced abstinence legislation (“Compassionate Intervention Act”). www.albertadoctors.org/news/publica...
- If Canada can spend a lot of diplomatic muscle and burn major trading relationships chastening China over human rights abuses, you'd think anyone in our political class could muster some critique of what's going on the USA these days.
- To double down on this, here's Leger's post election poll. Liberals led under 35s by 12% and NDP posted their highest support in that demographic. Full tables leger360.com/wp-content/u...
- Even though he's spent his life in elite banking circles, I'm pretty sure Mark Carney has touched grass more recently than most politicians. Hence takes like this. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/05/06/o...
- I can actually do this with other parties too: "New Democratic Party" Is 64 years old Little debate happens at convention Also not as fun as advertised
