one of the all time speyside bangers is "actually frankenstein IS the name of the monster. read that book again kid" so you know i am fucking hype to see if del toro did it

i do think the charlie kirk thing illustrated the real and serious societal dangers of when you post gore of someone's comfort character

Been trying to explain why economy increasingly feels like it's running wholly on rich people passing each other same bag of money - innovation is stalled, unemployment is rising, but stock tickers are still somehow going up. This example captures the current state of our economy perfectly.

i don't have a take on the ice shooting but i think it's funny that americans see a stripper clip for recharging a low capacity built in magazine and are like "and yet, he shot people?" like that isn't the main way it's ever been done in history by volume.

if you think d-day was important to causing the defeat of germany in ww2, propaganda works on you. there's no historical question that the nazi war machine was broken in the east at the ussr's immense human cost, and the nazis' fate was sealed a year earlier at stalingrad.

emoviolence really should work for me on paper but whenever i put it on i say "i am not in the mood for this, and if i ever were i should probably call somebody"

if americans keep shooting each other with full calibre, low capacity bolt action rifles, i will need to update my gun control takes tho, start coming for your hunting rifles

the first order scammer is just trying to get a list of active phone numbers where somebody picks up the phone and talks to whoevers on the other end. they sell this to the second order scammer who has a scam to perpetrate, but not a list of people to call. they will leave a voicemail or call back.

might fuck around and pitch for this idk

if you poll americans, most will say they support a harsher and more punitive immigration system. but, if you describe the current system and ask them if it is about right, too harsh, or not harsh enough, most will say it is too harsh.

sometimes i watch reality tv and they have alot of little interlude montages where they frame the setting characters and narrative thatre always set to music, like, songs, but i have never ever heard even one of these songs in my life so there must be a whole secret industry in no copyright songs

wayne gretzky has the opportunity to do the funniest thing

summer weather without the bugs is pretty fuckin slick fam

You may remember Driechel's name from an Edmonton Police Service scandal reported in 2016—Driechel, along with other members of the Edmonton Drug and Gang Enforcement Unit (EDGE), was buying illegal steroids from a drug trafficker within EPS.

Canadians! Sign this petition to prevent Visa and Mastercard from censoring legal transactions. You might think it's just cringey video games and queer porn, but it's part of a far-right push to define LGBTQ people as obscene, as per the preamble of Project 2025. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

i do not want to call you. for any reason. call you to make an appointment? what so you can listen to the words i say and put them into the computer that actually makes the appointment? fucking, just let me talk to the computer.

the elite are a monolith. the divided left-right interests we see our society as having? they do not have that division: even between their left and right, their interests are uniform. that's why they see each other as peers; why there's dems and repubs, labour and aristocrats on the party islands.

sorry about your fave millionaire ig but do you think the FCC waa your friend before, and it is a new development that it is not now? why is it called mcarthyism 2 for example, and do you suppose mcarythism 1 was different and good?

lmao that they also have to say it operates notwithstanding the alberta bill of rights after they amended it tho. which is it?! which is it?!

people love to make fun of utopian socialism (including most socialists) but utopian capitalism is far more ridiculous.

the fact is that unlike america, hate speech is a crime here. the stuff charlie said, if he were saying it here, could easily land a guy in jail. we are correct in this: it is better here than america. we should not want to be more like america.

new DOOR EATER comes in like a power violence song but then its 8 minutes long wtf? heavy music enjoyer, get in here

i knew it was gonna be a 30 ought 6, shouldve called it. it's a common rifle calibre for hunting because it's a big, powerful bullet easy to find in different charges for different purposes. guns of this type aren't usually restricted because they aren't as dangerous in shootings.

i think it's actually bad for society how few of our problems can be solved by violence sometimes like, it isn't healthy to constantly have proxy conflicts with real stakes that put you in fight-or-flight mode, but you can't actually do either. it'd be healthier for us if we sometimes fought.

my wife is the chair of her department at a local post secondary institution and this morning she is meeting with the department of education's book burning crew, which doesn't regulate post secondary institutions at all, but is concerned over the content of dual-credit highschool/uni classes.

For a column, looking to chat with earlyish-career workers about whether you’re struggling to focus on work/job-searching amid…well, everything else happening in the world. Would love to talk to experts, including organizers, on actions we can take at work or beyond to help. DMs/inbox always open.

The Dark Wizard Saruman and I Talk Political De-escalation

kinda liked that subversive AI music video by girls rituals but the more i dug into it the less i actually liked it. lol ig that's girls rituals for you tho

i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

The question I have Ezra Klein and other "we're in a state of political crisis and Charlie Kirk was doing politics the right way" types is a simple one: If he was, who wasn't? If you're worried about democracy, and Charlie Kirk wasn't who you were worried about, who was? Specifically?

wishing a safe and happy weekend to everyone except the reactionary right

saw somebody say "my timeline is scold free" yesterday and took it as a challenge to level up, like. when people say shitty things and it makes you want to say something shitty back, don't diminish yourself. just hit da bricks!

wait, wait. is the helldivers reference the transgender slogan they were talking about?????

the government *gets to decide how much money it has in the budget*. it is not the same as your budget or a company's budget or a bank's budget or any other budget, there is a whole second way to be bad with money. alberta captures the lowest % of its gdp as revenue of all the provinces, by alot.

the answer to this is p embarrassing to the gov't, mostly that after the Jordan case, the crown has an 18 or 30 month deadline but the same finite resources (which writing these quasi-decisions cuts in to) so alot of things have to drop or plea out (plus some sus stuff wrt cops pols mb interfere in)

happy 9/11 wishing a "death to the evil empire" to everyone who observes

wow just made a fortune on my witch futures

phew, damn, ok. what a high. now i take my reward (never think about him ever again for the rest of my life)

Donald Trump has confirmed Charlie Kirk is dead.

they are already doing state sanctioned political violence to their enemies. they were already going to ramp up the violence tomorrow. they were already going to blame the next shooting or crime or bad thing on their political opponents to justify the next pogrom, regardless of the actual cause.

[wormy dipshit whose entire lifestyle and worldview is propped up by direct and indirect violence that they are privileged enough to be insulated from, and who only speaks up for an ethical respect for human life when the most wicked devils alive finally get theirs voice] I condemn all violence!

idk if you think there's a moral difference between say, the CEO of united health - or the epstein party island perverts - and their proxies who enshrine and protect their interests in the public square (media, advocacy, legal, legislative, etc) so they can live quiet, peaceful lives, idk friend.

Students here in Utah County are saying he's dead

a blair witch simulator where you have to use an orienteering compass and map without instruction, but after you camp at night you somehow wake up off course and have to triangulate your location anew so you can take a bearing to your destination.

after everything they’ve done to us they should be thanking god on their knees fasting that the verb in our big catchphrase rn is ‘tax’

law enforcement is a separate from prosecution for a reason, the EPS isnt partisan in prosecutions (they wouldn't want to lose the ability to say charges against them aren't deserved, after all). the police org saying a sentence isn't punitive enough is really out of line. not their mandate at all.
