pablum 1. Trite, insipid, or simplistic writing, speech, or conceptualization. 2. A form of cereal for infants. 3. A diet that does not require chewing.

if you put an unconventional woman with a handsome uptight sidekick, imma watch your show (think Vera et al.)

A lot of the coverage of Mamdani is predicated on the idea that socialism is necessarily an economic system of mass impoverishment, and this is by design: the very wealthy want people to imagine that any system where the rich end up less well off will lead everyone else to be poorer too.

One more reason for the rest of the world to accelerate its decoupling from American financial and tech systems. The USA wants to go it alone, let them.

Why do I have to read an Irish paper for a feature about this?

as long as she didn't steal them their cost doesn't need to be justified to anyone. the Post wants to shit on her on the day of the Mayor's triumph.

at the very same time they view actually being poor as a moral failing unworthy of our sympathies. the gag is nothing their political enemies do is acceptable. no real principled analysis is involved beyond spite.

C’est déjà 2026 à Terre-Neuve. À tous ceux qui font la fête ce soir partout au pays : soyez prudents et amusez-vous bien. C’est le plus beau pays du monde et, l’année prochaine, nous continuerons à travailler ensemble pour le rendre encore meilleur.

Y’all don’t have to make resolutions. All I’m asking is that you find something to keep you healthy and well so we can outlive him together.

I am honoured to announce I’ve been appointed as a member to the Order of Canada. Thank you to everyone for the support! I dedicate this to my late Mom who taught me so much about history, local independent media & research. I know that she would be, like me, screaming with joy! #orderofcanada

It’s never, EVER enough to just be against something

I've noticed that I've started reading less online. I click on a an interesting tag line and I find a paywall sometimes after reading a paragraph. With mainstream media having lapsed into farce and propaganda do outlets expect me to subscribe to ten different online magazines to stay informed?

Exceptional work here. Needless to say, the factual details do not support the administration’s narrative used to justify this killing spree. We have a word for premeditated killing outside of armed conflict: Murder.

Isiah Whitlock Jr, best known for his role as Clay Davis on “The Wire,” has died. He was 71

I don't understand the fixation with how many books people read last year. I mean... It entirely depends on the books' length and the reader's speed, both of which are completely irrelevant to the enjoyment of it all. Right?

damn that baby looks cool as hell

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene *really* cared about the Epstein victims, she would read the names of the perpetrators on the House floor (where she would have immunity) before she leaves office.

this is hitting the way i'd hoped Pluribus would (and didn't). I'm hooked

both narratives suffer from the illusion that it is possible to not need anybody. even Manousos couldn't make it unscathed thru the Darien Gap (real) and his story would have ended there if Pluribus didn't stand on their ethos that you don't ask a drowning man if they want your help

He scuttled the Menopause Care Equity Act, ab-432, which passed "(with near‑unanimous or unanimous committee votes noted)" by the legislature and would've benefited 58.8% of Californians factually.co/fact-checks/...

This message hits hard.

Here’s what HEATED RIVALRY has done to me: I’m literally listening to a hockey podcast to hear their take on the show.

The reactions to the ending of Heated Rivalry is why capital-R Romance people will fight and die on the hill of the Happily Ever After/Happily For Now ending. That ending is load-bearing. It's earned. It's the soothing hug after the story took a bat to your emotions.

the minute they started dismissing Heated Rivalry because straight women love it and a woman wrote it it you should've known it was good. my hot take is that if it was made in the US it would've been good but not with what makes the Canadian show great which is kindness. same for Schitt's Creek.

Heated Rivalry !!!SPOILER!!!

In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

joining the "cybertruck owners only" group on fb is one of the best decisions i've ever made. every so often when i'm scrolling through fb getting pissed off, i get to see a little treat like this

Canada is fun!

The system may be designed to fail people. Nothing stops us from helping each other in the meantime.

that a few people could and not notice the cost IS the governments fault and intention

Queen Celia! 👑💃🏾🎶

I need a food historian to write an essay or booklet for me on agua de jamaica, ponche navideño, and sorrel as well the links between Jamaica and Mexico. Is this all thanks to Spanish colonization?

Happy Birthday to Jean-Michel Basquiat, born on this day in 1960. I find myself mourning his death and imagining who he could have been if he hadn’t died in 1988. I believe his prolific art practice was him reckoning with his own mortality. (Portraits by James Van Der Zee, 1982)
