I want to talk about the subtle ways people online can influence how you and others around you think. Because I’ve noticed a trend. Not only is actually pretty smart, but it seems to help accounts gain influence over online conversations — for better or for worse worse:

Alex Jones tries to read an article in its entirety and seemingly begins to hallucinate words

There’s a leftist movement catching fire around the world as people realize they’re getting screwed by the rich who keep getting richer. NDP Leader @avilewis.ca is hoping to harness that flame — but can he convince Canadians they won’t be burned? Here’s a sneak peek of our conversation:

Ben Shapiro is coming to Canada (soon!) as part of a conference “against antizionism.” The depth of human cruelty required to put on this kind of conference is pretty incredible. Particularly when you contrast it against the eyewitness accounts of those living through Israel's genocide in Gaza:

Ok British Columbia now you’re just showing off

I’m finding myself increasingly horrified at how low some politicians go. They’re willing to lie despite being fact-checked, they’re willing to downplay horrors, and they’re willing to legitimize icky influencers. It's also, awkwardly, a disproportionate problem within the Conservative Party:

Canadian politicians have been condemning an effigy strung up at a recent pro-Palestine protest. To hear them tell it, it was vile antisemitism: a Jewish person hanging from a noose. But that’s a lie -- one now being used to criminalize protest and vilify protesters. Let’s talk about the truth:

Canada’s wealth gap is the widest it’s been in StatCan’s recorded history. You’d think Carney would focus on that -- not privatization. In fact, “Carney’s policies will only make inequality even worse," @dtcochrane.bsky.social, a senior economist with the Canadian Labour Congress, told me. Uh oh:

The reporter follows up by asking Carney: “do you regret your initial support of this war?” The point of this support, Carney replied, was “the ending of both that state sponsored terrorism and the nuclear ambitions of Iran.” “That remains the case.”

It’s not often I get to report good news, so we’re going to take some time to do that today — because @theonion.com officially has a deal to take over Alex Jones’ InfoWars. Their plan? To turn it into a parody of itself. It’s going to be so good:

Cuts-E spoke with us while LAPD was kettling protesters on Fuck ICE Day last weekend. He says LAPD is on the same side as DHS and ICE, and explains why he’s been standing with the people for the past two years. While we spoke, LAPD rushed protesters and arrested a woman who was peacefully protesting

Lady in yellow, "Rather than weakening sanctions on Russia so we can buy their oil. Would it not be better to drill in the north sea?" Surely any oil from the North Sea ends up on the international markets anyway, so how does that benefit us in terms of pricing and supply?

Trump still thinks the gold at Fort Knox isn’t real. With a war in Iran and rising gas and grocery prices, this doesn't seem like where the president's attention should be.

"You've got the kind of chaos that necessitates police action, status, control of cities. Now that, by any definition is the beginning of serious civil conflict." @dblight.bsky.social on the fallout of Trump's assault on history: youtu.be/iWkj5XmuAc8?...

"Hasan reveals [Elroy] texts sent to Ashley St. Clair before the 2024 election: “Tomorrow we unleash the anomaly in the matrix.” He then allegedly bragged about having '10,000 lasers in space.'" Too close to home, I guess. Source: old.reddit.com/r/UnderRepor...
