Agreeing with…even applauding…something issued by a bunch of Catholic bishops is new to me.

Good statement from the US conference of Catholic Bishops

Tax is love and "we should stop always describing tax as a burden or cost, and start seeing it as an acknowledgment of the benefits we derive from public services – and a loving contribution to the wellbeing of all of us." Bangin' piece from 2018 New Zealand.

Remember, kids. Tariffs is BYOOTIFUL! https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2024/dec/16/the-most-beautiful-word-in-the-dictionary-donald-trumps-tariff-plan-podcast?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

dystopian ass weather report

We are going to need a study on how much people waste on this shit annually vs how much it would cost to have a functional transit system.

Here is a headless cat for #caturday

Benny is a 120lb floofy teething toy.

Quite the fashion AND political statement this dress makes! 🙌 Tho it’d be real hard to wear this out & about in Toronto without a car or delivery truck parking on it within 5 mins. #BikeTO In replies: not AI-generated. Made by designer Athena Macke. For a German Cyclists' Assoc. meeting in Berlin

TikTok is a delight sometimes! (🔊 sound on🔊)

“straight up giving the president a bar of gold” is where we’re at now on the “corruption isn’t real” scale good work, John Roberts

We're gonna get pulsating-bolts-of-plasma-energy-shooting-into-space weather!

ya...this is kinda nut's rn. (maybe making up for summer?) #onwx #onstorm Average storm motion overall ENE at ~50 to 65 K/hr.

Earl Grey cuddled up amongst his cat pillow and blanket.

Treats? Did someone say treats? -Earl Grey

Antifa Handbook?

The Grey Cup is a cup. The Stanley Cup is a cup. The FIFA World Cup is not a cup.

Paging Hunter Biden to the MTG tiny violin phone.

‘you know if you’re not actually dead you have to feed me’

I love that CBC has a Muslim woman sports commentator on TV. Wearing a hijab! Times, they are finally a-changing.

My French professor put me on. It’s actually so good.

CBC/Radio-Canada also has a Toronto podcast in French!

This is Annie. She freaking loves fall. 13/10 (FB: James Osborne)

Do people still use those smart video speakers, or were they a fad?

A quarter of the entire deployed US Navy is now stationed in the Caribbean. That goes way beyond frighteners.

Really enjoyed this Code Switch episode about KYUK and it's importance to the region. www.npr.org/2025/11/15/n...

Starbucks workers in the US are on strike. Think twice before you pop in to grab a peppermint mocha. Respect the picket line and help workers secure a fair deal. Worker rights anywhere are worker rights everywhere. jacobin.com/2025/11/star...

Fuzzy has a new crush. Jorgen Hus of the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Huh. CBC has an online French/English language learning tool. mauril.ca/en/

Donald Trump has turned America into a mafia klepto-state. The Nazis were also shameless crooks and criminals. Herman Goring would have been right at home in Mar-a-Lago. Here is my latest on gangster fascism and America's number one crime family - the Trumps. substack.com/home/post/p-...

“I’m not being homophobic” My brother in cheez-its if you are making 2 men doing a sex act a “gotcha” or a punchline you are absolutely being homophobic

This argument that we need to adopt fascism-lite to prevent electing fascists is a big ahistorical lie, and it has a lot of currency in Canada too. This will not solve any problems fascists blame on refugees, while it concedes the idea that they're correct to blame them. This is how you get ICE.

I find that I can be on here for an extended period, and not see a tonne of posts from people I follow...I only see them when someone I follow replies to them. I think this thing is busted.

Abraham Ulrikab wanted to help his family and agreed to be placed in a human zoo in Europe with seven other Inuit, including his family. The man who recruited Abraham never vaccinated the Inuit. Within months they were dead of smallpox. This is Abraham's story. 🧵 1/10

My all-time greatest hit, for #caturday.

Really enjoying the “No Gods No Mayors” podcast. It’s extremely my shit. And if you follow me, it’s probably yours too. Here’s the Mel Lastman episode: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/n...

Another threat from AI—Icelandic is endangered. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

I like that Pope Bob wakes up every morning and asks himself how he can kick the American Vice President in the dick

Fun with guillotines! Polished to a mirror finish.

Come to Canada for the scenery, stay for the glorious dirt.

Stupid Megyn Kelly is on the wrong side of history

Excellent explainer of America's presumed $2000 tariff rebate cheques (checks) by CBC's Andrew Chang. Spoiler: the math doesn't add up. But you probably knew that already. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

An otherwise excellent post destroyed by spellcheck.

I don't understand some people's objection to cannabis shops opening in their neighbourhood. Do they think people will be sitting in the alley, shooting up their cannabis drugs a day leaving dangerous cannabis needles on the sidewalk?

Doing a purposefully shit job at something and then declaring "it doesn't work" is a choice. A very bad and cynical choice that in this case kills many people. Was Philip Owen the only brave politician? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

On this day in 1920, the Canadian Corps Cyclist Battalion was disbanded. Created on May 1, 1916, 1,138 men served in the battalion. Of those, 261 were killed or wounded. Learn more in my Deep Dive 👇 buff.ly/S6CoLaX

We're being shamed by Colombia.
