Hmmm. This feels like it undercuts a lot of what @gandersocial.ca is going for. Might be nice if they phased that out.

witnessing the birth of a new all timer post is such a beautiful thing

Seems like a man who can do anything would make that really long speech outside while wearing a big fur coat and doing lunges.

Popekillersayswhat?

Teddy Roosevelt’s robust adult lifestyle followed years of debilitating childhood asthma, for which today’s MAGA movement would surely have written him off and left him to die.

uh okay i won't do it then www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/art...

I’m giving Gander a try now, if that’s your thing. How are people finding it so far?

I’m grateful today for the day off tomorrow, grateful for a trip to the art supply shop with my youngest, and grateful that not every day has to be productive. #3Gratitudes

I mean, it’s a fair point. If you’ve been in office since the inauguration, and someone running on “What’s been happening on your watch has got to stop” can beat you, then the voters probably don’t think you’re up to stopping it. And maybe that’s on you.

Yeah, speak for yourself, Instagram. I’ve got more Canned Mackerelin Brine than I know what to do with.

There’s a lot of handwringing in the States about the socialists taking over, and I think the only reasonable response is “Well, we gave outright fascism a try, and it doesn’t seem to be working.”

and they said it couldn’t be replicated outside new york 😎

Well, then I guess it’s good that there’s nobody there to read it.

Oompa Loompa Doompa-Dee DAI.

Kean returned to work today and announced that he was being treated for depression. Hopefully, he got the help he needed. Before disappearing for four months, Kean repeatedly voted against medical leave for ordinary families.

Imagine saying “I don’t think children should be allowed to play sports unless we get to pull down their pants” and still being able to look at yourself in the mirror.

you know, when someone says something like "these are the things that need to be done to avert disaster" and your response is "you think democrats will do that?!?" all you're telling me is that you think politics is a spectator sport

This is the best description of this debacle I've seen. Imagine how shitty a thing has to be to not attract tourists in DC on the mall in June.

Exit light Enter night Take my hand Morocco beat the Netherlands

I’m grateful today for a work day at home with two kids, grateful for a book in the back yard, and grateful for the fleeting moments of quiet at the end of the day. #3Gratitudes

Bob Newhart in what? Damn it, Bob Newhart in what?

I plugged my phone in before dinner so that it would be fully charged in time for a long run that I’m now too tired to do.

You know, there’s an old saying in government comms, and it goes a little something like “Never say ‘I’ll tell you all about it on Tuesday’ when they ask you where the hell you’ve been for nearly four months.”

The problem with being a racist is that sometimes you find yourself saying ridiculous things like “This soccer team would be a much better soccer team if it was all just Americans.”

It just looks weird without Indiana Jones dangling from it by one hand while fighting off a Nazi with the other.

“Poilievre’s secretly gay and that’s why he’s not going to any Pride parades” is today’s version of this.

They’re going to call you a socialist regardless. So be a socialist.

one kind of striking thing about the 250 birthday fiasco is aren't there usually just regular people visiting the capital every day did this event actually repel visitors

Hindsight is 20/20, but maybe this is why you don’t turn your July 4 event into a celebration of an evil old loser who everyone hates.

The number one item in this great piece by @shawnmicallef.bsky.social is talk to your neighbours, which is the whole reason I built showuptoronto.ca. There are SO many great people who are already doing the work, tapping into that is the best way to feel less alone. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

I'm grateful today for good books, grateful for summer hobbies, and grateful for time around the house with my wife and kids #3Gratitudes

There will be no redemption tour for Mike Pence, who was a terrible governor before he became the Vice President, and who was fine to stand by Trump until his supporters started talking about hanging him specifically.

I’m grateful today for a kitchen full of food, grateful for an England win, and grateful for a lazy Saturday. #3Gratitudes

I watched one clip from “Ghost” on YouTube, and now YouTube wants me to watch the rest of “Ghost” in out of order clips.

The great American state fair being stupid Trump bullshit does legit make me sad, if I’m being honest. A lot of the 250 stuff does. This could have been a really cool and special thing and literally any normal president would have pulled it off.

Hello, Clarice.

At the very least, there’s no way I’m pre-ordering that thing until we know for sure whether or not Stephen Root’s in it.

it wouldve been funny if goldfinger wasnt a movie and just a crazy song about a guy shirley bassey made up

This is good, you should watch this.

Everybody’s making “Ice Ice Baby” jokes for obvious reasons, but I feel like a “Stop That Rain” joke that nobody’s going to get is the more worthwhile challenge.

I’m seeing people saying “Everything Trump Touches Dies” about a Vanilla Ice concert, and I don’t know that that’s the best example.

Doing my part to subvert gender norms by making dinner while my wife yells at me to bring her a beer because she doesn’t want to miss any of the game.

“Gravity Falls” is my favourite example of this. It’s one of my family’s most beloved shows of all time, and we don’t want any more of it.

They get so mad coming up with the premise that they forget the joke needs a punchline

And the main problem with “anti-woke” comedy, or “politically incorrect” comedy, or whatever you want to call it, is that it so often puts being edgy or offensive for its own sake ahead of being funny or clever. You can smell the desperation for a fight wafting off of it.

There are people who love being the mayor, and there are people who love doing the job of a mayor.
