I think Canada’s legal community does not adequately grasp the extent to which the legal system is being misused by performative dorks on the Internet

One of the cool things about Bluesky is how you can just click "post" then suddenly a wind chime rings in the distance and the Western Standard's front page magically revises itself like one of those newspapers in Back to the Future

But I'm burying the lede! I stepped down from PressProgress at the start of this week. Trolls are celebrating, but that's a proof point of how much my journalism got under their skin I left on my own terms, was not fired or laid off. It was not due to "financial pressures" or a lawsuit. I'm A-OK 👍

Received this bizarre email out of the blue yesterday from National Post columnist Adam Zivo gloating over my former colleague's layoff notice I'd like to thank Postmedia for looking into it and issuing this statement clarifying Zivo is expected to uphold professional standards for employee conduct

It gives me a very warm and nostalgic feeling to scroll through my Bluesky feed and see Jonathan posting random ephemera about minor dramas at Toronto City Hall

It's clear that councillors' workload has doubled because, at least from behind, Shelley Carroll appears to have also taken the role of John Filion.

Always a sign of a good and healthy governance and oversight culture when corporate board members display cult-like loyalty to a chief executive officer

If anyone is interested in hiring this award-winning journalist, I'd be pleased to give a reference check extolling how talented and competent my former colleague and co-union steward @emmaarkell.bsky.social is to anyone interested Exhibit A:

This is my last working week as the labour reporter at PressProgress. I received notice a little over a week ago that the labour reporter position is being terminated and I’m being laid off.

One of the many remarkable things here is how Meta is trying to brand its pervert glasses as “privacy-first” pervert glasses
