all the conditions for the Dirty 30s are being recreated and without another (Green) New Deal and soil conservation (and farm stabilization) acts, there's likely no way back for at least 40 years, if not longer -- climate and economic migrants will just be the start blogs.loc.gov/maps/2023/12...

Donald Trump, the same person who is telling us he would never use the US military to do anything illegal, is on the verge of using the US military to steal another sovereign nation's oil. Just 'cause he wants it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ www.newsweek.com/gop-rep-says...

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…

You have to ask, why was Witkoff chosen for this critically important role of special envoy to Putin? He had no diplomatic or foreign policy experience. No education on those subjects. So of all people, why him? I think what we all surmised is clear - Putin wanted Witkoff.

I feel dirty platforming Tucker Carlson even indirectly, but he's got a point: where's the investigation into the Trump assassination attempt (kind of like the Epstein and Kirk deaths)? www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUAA...

Former Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson on scrapping consumer carbon tax: "I think it's unfortunate because it was good public policy, but it was done because Mr. Poilievre had created such a toxic environment around it that it just wasn't worth that kind of a debate in the public sphere."

The stock market's gains are being overwhelmingly driven by seven Big Tech companies who have invested heavily in AI, which has made tech oligarchs even wealthier. But when that AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

Sic Semper Tyrranis!

I don't know, seems like we are only a couple of detours away from getting there regardless thebulletin.org/2025/11/mirr...

"Now, me to you, I know what it’s going to take to get a peace deal done: Donetsk and maybe a land swap somewhere." -- Steve Witkoff, in his call to Putin aide Yuri Ushakov Read the whole transcript of the Oct 14 call. It's amazing. Gift link (for 7 days) ⤵️ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

all of these, but esp the clothesline b/c your laundry reeks of allergenic and irrititating fragrances pushed from your dryer vent at 250 cubic feet per minute all over your neighbourhood (while wasting energy) Clothes on the line will still reek, but in your yard www.youtube.com/watch?v=T21F...

awesome. they want you to die, or at least be too sick to fight back with vigour.

Manosphere antivaxxers: Olympic level mental gymnastics! Vaccines (among the most studied & regulated interventions) are evil, but... - Overuse of testosterone therapy? Cool - Unproven supplements? Cool. - Unproven peptide therapy? Cool. - Steroids? Cool. - HGH? Cool. Sigh.

NEW: Civil rights and weapons experts cite the consequences of federal agents’ use of crowd control weapons: religious leaders shot with pepper balls and noxious chemicals. A nurse nearly blinded by tear gas. Protestors trapped, struggling to breathe. With @frontlinepbs.bsky.social

Yes to this energy!

proper thing this should be an entertaining pack of lies

to be clear, PM2.5 (2.5 micron and smaller particulate matter) stays in the air for very long periods, floating all over, and when inhaled goes deep into your lungs and can enter your blood from there, and may even cross into your brain through the cribiform plate. it's not making America great.

all should be no-brainers, but Best Buy and the like are set up like casinos to maximise stimulation and reduce your purchasing smarts

The BBC removed a line about Trump being the most openly corrupt president in American history...from a lecture about the cowardice of today's elites. I wonder if the BBC has heard of the Streisand Effect

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business. The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay. It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders. Textbook corporate greed.

maybe he wants to work on the Ukraine war he promised to end on Day 1 first?

a few months old, but suddenly relevant again www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbJS...

these are the "small gov't" people who don't want mask or vaccine mandates.

advertising that you're a collaborator worked really well when Vichy France fell they're going to miss their hair

The US economy is based on people being led to believe they can buy far more than they can afford (and borrow to get there---I'm not talking about the people who can't even qualify for credit) www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rgm...

The money and assholes like the MOFOTUS in power (and economists will tell you they are science-y) bsky.app/profile/atru...

I feel like Hitler never hit this level of delusion but then he killed himself before dementia would have addled his thinking even more than conflating fear and loathing with respect

the worst punishment the press could give the MOFOTUS is to all simply walk away but they can't, there's money in it if they stay.

14-yr-old's CPR failed to save his mother denied care for pre-eclampsia, which is a life-threatening condition that occurs BECAUSE you are pregnant, and will kill both baby and mum WTAF America -- it's not the 1300s www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Yet Kirk himself was never punished or remotely restrained from saying whatever the fuck came into to head and the grift calculations therein

Get rid of this 'huckster' out of Canada all ready.

I was on Piers Morgan earlier today with Buck Sexton and Chria Rufo. Folks, usually, its 3 or 4 versus 1 as they attack me and spin for Trump. Not today. The entire panel was like, "Yeah...they should release the Epstein Files." This is Trump’s Achilles Cankle. The MAGA dam is breaking.

Nothing about Saudi money flowing into this country is "encouraging." They are already buying up arable land and water rights in places where water tables are being depleted fast. This is a massive mistake for all of us.

A Ponzi schemer stole roughly $35M from dozens who believed they were investing in Covid-19 masks, baby formula, & first aid kits for Ukraine. trib.al/tqfJ6y4 For whatever reason, Trump decided to include him in the whopping 143-person pardon issued the day before he left office in 2021.

"Microsoft warns that Windows 11's agentic AI could install malware on your PC: 'Only enable this feature if you understand the security implications.'" bro what-- what are we doing here, exactly, how can you--anyone be okay with this?

One thing I learned from “The Wire” is that even professional gangsters have enough decency not to do hits at church newrepublic.com/post/203321/...

My first piece for @theguardian.com on MBS’s visit to the U.S., seven years after Jamal Khashoggi’s murder. Trump’s America is beginning to look like MBS’s Saudi Arabia— which Jamal warned me about. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This fucker murdered a WaPo journalist from SA. Chopped him up and carried him out in pieces. Never forget, never forgive. #Khashoggi

The U.S. economy looks strong on the surface, but much of its wealth rests on promises, not profits. A single shock in belief or demand could make the whole structure collapse. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/the-us-eco...

No less a conservative heavyweight than John Major calls out populist attacks on the judiciary. Add him to the list of real conservatives who balk at the UCP's preemptive use of the notwithstanding clause. x.com/Haggis_UK/st...

okay, there are a few good uses for AI -- but I kind of need to unsee this now (unlike the cartoon version)

I remember these being the "next new thing" 45 years ago

He's always been a vile piece of shit. Nothing he says surprises me. What does surprise me is that people are still giving his vile ass a pass.

while MAGAts will wax lyrical in their nostalgia for the nostalgia that they thought the MOFOTUS would provide

The historian Richard Rhodes uses the term “public man-made death.” He was referring to war, but also Mao Zedong’s Great Leap Forward. We are in the face of a public man-made death now. And it is our opportunity to hold people accountable."

America, you're in BRICS+ now (the authoritarian very old boys club part of BRICS, although Brazil may be smartening up and looking for new friends) Wake the fuck up.

So is Mark Carney going to go along with the suspension of human rights by MAGA government in Alberta? You cant' do nation-building by allowing an autocratic government to suspend the charter rights of citizens. Just say no Mark. it's pretty straightforward. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...
