Eight @SSHRC_CRSH applications, seven rejections... Today, I'm @KevinGarnett5KG because "anything is possible!" My doctoral research on Islamist thought in Sau'di Arabia is now fully funded... اليوم بداية كل شيء والحمد لله #Canada #PhD #SSHRC @FSUReligion

🚨 do you understand what happened to Stephen Colbert.. 24 hours after his final Late Show, Colbert hijacked a tiny public access channel in Monroe, Michigan with Jack White, Eminem, Jeff Daniels and Steve Buscemi. Now Paramount - the company that just cancelled his show - is mass-blocking every reupload worldwide via Content ID. And the deeper you dig, the worse it looks: - The finale pulled 6.74M viewers - a weeknight record over 11 years - Eminem cameoed as "Marshall, the fire marshal" to greenlight torching the set - The same day Trump posted an AI video of throwing Colbert into a dumpster, Colbert aired footage of himself burning a real one - Mayday Network and verified journalist Matthew Keys both got blocked globally - for sharing a community access show Paramount cancelled his show to silence him. Instead they handed him a Streisand-effect comeback 10x bigger than the show ever was.

The vast majority of Canadians no longer consider the United States an ally — except Conservatives: 🔴 LPC: 5% 🟠 NDP: 4% ⚜️ BQ: 5% 🔵 CPC: 56% cultmtl.com/2026/05/vast-m…

Francis Fukuyama on the U.S. as a declining power: American decline is a direct product of Trump's rise since 2016. It is as if Trump had decided to do everything in his power to weaken the United States vis-à-vis China. He has polarized an already polarized country, cut funding for basic scientific research, and attacked American universities which are the best in the world. He and his colleagues have openly stated that their domestic opponents — the Democrats — are a far greater threat to the future of the United States than either China or Russia. There is agreement among America's friends and rivals that the United States has become something of a rogue state that is contributing to global instability and disorder — as well as something of a laughingstock.

You are not the people. You are stupid slaves on the Epstein's menu of cruel cannibal elites. You are eaten, your brains are. It is why you watch Euphoria. Because all of you are perverts. Disgusting civilization. No reason to exist. Please, die.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani mocks Ronald Reagan’s infamous quote. “I can think of nine words more terrifying than ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help…’” “I worked all day and can’t feed my family.”

This mosque shooting did not happen in a vacuum. It is the consequence of years of dehumanizing Muslims both domestically and abroad. From political leaders to mainstream media figures, anti-Muslim rhetoric has become so normalized that Muslim lives are too often treated as disposable.

This is a Yemeni child who accidentally killed someone from another tribe. So the members of his tribe handed their murderous son over to the tribe of the murdered man, apologized to them, and surrendered him to them, leaving the decision to them and agreeing to whatever decision they made regarding their child son. The murdered man's tribesmen and family members pardoned the child and released him. Had the killer's tribe chosen defiance, a tribal war and cycles of revenge would have ensued, lasting for decades. However, it was wise of the killer's tribe to choose the wise and correct path. Because they know each other well and they know that the Yemeni people are generous when you apologize and stubborn when you challenge them, and they never surrender by force, no matter how strong the enemy is. Therefore, I hope that Saudi Arabia will learn from this story, apologize to the Yemeni people, acknowledge its wrongdoing against them, and leave the decision to the Yemeni people: either to seek revenge or to forgive.

Trump just cut a midterm ad for every Democrat in America.

Previous Iranian leader: old Khamenei. New Iranian leader: young Khamenei. Regime change? No.

Someone just caught Artemis from their flight. Cool view of little piece of history!

A historic moment for Canada! 🚀 Artemis II launched at 6:35 pm (ET). CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen becomes the first Canadian to lift off for a mission around the Moon. Make sure to follow us to stay updated during the next 10 days!  🌕

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

I mean Aquinas was reading Al-Farabi and Ibn Sina…..

If young men don’t want to be drafted to fight in Kamala’s and Cheney’s 3rd World War they better get out and vote for Trump.

"Pre-emptive strikes" are ultimate white privilege

Follow the public reactions to the Iran attacks, and you’ll learn much more than by following the media headlines. Enter Egyptian humor: “The one who can only afford beans and falafel is better off than the one who has American bases.”

Just released and #OpenAccess. I've been waiting for years to see these letters attributed to the emperor Leo III and the caliph ʿUmar II published. isac.uchicago.edu/article/now-av…

Canada cannot fund, arm, or legitimize ICE. I’ve written to PM Carney calling for sanctions, export bans, cancelled subsidies, and the closure of ICE offices in Canada. Fascist violence and human rights abuses demand action, not silence.
