How it started. How it's going.

The ADL defended Elon’s Nazi salute and still got here. Who could’ve expected this except everyone.

Finally took a bath in the huge tub in my new place. Reilly was not amused & insisted on coming up with me. Then all he did was drink the bath water & try to leave.

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

The ER is the one place where this country actually follows the obvious moral intuition that everyone has a right to medical care, classic Vance to pick the fight on that terrain

Democrats "blocked" this bill by ... not voting for it. No dirty tricks or sneaky moves, they just didn't vote for a GOP bill. It needed 60 votes to pass, 53 Reps and 2 Dems voted for it. That, according to the broken Washington Post, means Democrats Are To Blame even though the GOP runs it all.

I’m a sewage system. I also have a great personality.

[tired, beaten down voice] Shutdowns used to shock the system. Now? With a workforce already battered and political leaders treating civil servants as the enemy, the real question is: would anyone even notice?

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

September has ended, leaving just three months left this year. January is Masuke and my birthday. We've also ordered our New Year's feast. We'll spend these remaining three months in good health.

Just last week the UCP announced they would not make the interim report on the Corrupt Care scandal public. Now we have learned that two AHS procurement officials were directors at a company with ties to a supplier at the centre of the allegations.

Ezra Klein is making money from telling comforting lies to right wingers and he should be shunned and ignored.

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year? How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

Critics note that subsidizing a private company diverts resources when federal funds are drying up and the city expects budget shortfalls. They note that while housing routinely gets subsidies, it was worth questioning the plan to put money toward a $2B platform vs. housing in less costly areas.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

This is clearly an abusive prosecution and it should be called out as such. Now if you ask me to summon tears for the stupid asshole who threw Hillary Clinton under a bus a week before the 2016 election, thereby helping to elect the obese Cheeto currently prosecuting him, the answer is OH HELL NO.
