I feel like if you want to win at an athletic competition while also cheating, you need to be really good in general first. Then maybe the steroids would make you even better, maybe. But if you're kind of a shit bag to start, then you're still a shitbag after. They're not fuckin' magic beans.

I don't care who you are or how long you've wanted to have kids, you're not as ready as you think you are. It will stretch you in ways you didn't think were possible. It's impossible to be "ready" to be a parent; don't be so hard on yourself.

Of all the things I need in my life right now, the number 1 might be a @bythebywater.bsky.social and @rangedtouch.bsky.social Shelved by Genre crossover episode. #tolkien

Former CBC host Adrian Harewood explains how his career at the national broadcaster was adversely affected because he asked uncomfortable questions about Haiti and US/Canadian imperialism.

There’s been a lot of talk of getting off Google in recent years, but now it’s time for people to get serious. This company believes it has people locked in. People need to show Google there are consequences for its actions. disconnect.blog/google-is-it...

this is unironically the political ideology of many Democrats

YO PLEASE WATCH THIS IM FUCKING SCREAMING

If Pierre Poilievre was doing this, there’d be widespread yelling but it’s Mark Carney so 🤷🏼‍♂️ Again, having regions of Canada without clean drinking water for people is *a national embarrassment* 😡

first 45 minutes of this (NEARLY FOUR HOURS LONG) video deals with the accusations in linear order without getting graphic (although the nature of them does necessitate a lot of discomfort). if you're unaware, this guy and his dogs will set you right, and you'll see why everyone's pissed at Gaiman

We can’t legally call it a “Toy Story Experience,” but the hotel does have a room where toys will come to life and scream at you about Nietzsche.

Holy crap this is stupid.

None of the current foreign correspondents are women: www.theglobeandmail.com/about/journa...

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Jason Collins got to tell his own story:

When bsky doesn't like my posts.

this is now mandatory reading for all of you

Unlike, say, Quebecois separatists, Alberta separatists don't seem to believe that they comprise a unique nation with any particular unifying identity, they just don't like that sometimes other people get to decide what the laws are.

All you fools who blocked or muted Jared because of Met gala posting and missing out.

why would i want to watch a podcast. podcasts are for when you are doing something else

There is no good billionaire. Every single one of them – yes even Beyonce and Taylor Swift :( – got their billions the same way any other did: exploiting the labor of workers in a cruel economic system maximized for the few to be able to do just that. The end.

bsky is still incredibly salty that a big chunk of the early adopters of the site, the ones who fostered any real growth, was a cohort of trans shitposters who wanted to leave twitter they gave invite codes to their tech friends, not expecting said friends to be/be friends with trans people

Canada’s silence at the UN exposes a buried history of slavery at home. Abstaining on a recent United Nations reparations vote cannot erase Canada's role in two centuries of slavery — or the structural disparities that still persist today. ricochet.media/justice/cana...

Face it, if you voted Liberal, you were conned. Carney says Canada open to deeper integration with U.S. ahead of CUSMA review www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

The child of a transphobe is not always a transphobe. Sometimes the child is trans. 🤷🏿‍♂️ Similarly, the child of a racist is not always racist. Sometimes they're anti-racist. The child may not be racist, but many times, they are the one that suffers from their parents' racism.🙁 They deserve better.

I can only assume that this street sign is replaced every few days because it keeps getting stolen. #transisland

when evil dipshits like rfk jr say they want to treat disease with "diet and exercise," they never mean giving people the money and time to exercise and eat a healthy diet. they mean "personal responsibility" for struggling, ordinary people, and the best medical care money can buy for the wealthy

This chart is wild: white evangelicals disliked Trump posting an image of himself as a Jesus-like figure *just as much as other religious groups.* Note: In poll after poll, white evangelicals are typically an outlier in polls focused on Trump and favorability — but not here.

With the Alberta separatists in the news again, it's worth revisiting this batshit interview @arnokopecky.bsky.social did with their leader, Mitch Sylvestre.

A long-disputed plan for a proposed coal mine in Alberta’s Rockies is once again being debated, with critics claiming it will harm fish habitat, grasslands, and water. Journalist Christina Frangou reports on the battle over Grassy Mountain: https://ow.ly/w3zY50YUPFU

Very sad to hear that @knowledgefight.bsky.social is calling it quits after close to 10 years. Thank you Dan and Jordan for all the entertainment, information, righteous anger, and the unintentional community you created. #knowledgefight

To say out loud TO BILL MAHER

Not enough of you watched Trainwreck: Poop Cruise or The Last Cruise about the COVID-19 outbreak on the Diamond Princess. They're also incredibly bad for the environment. Like it's better to book a flight somewhere far away and do an all-inclusive resort.

This is comedy gold.

Not putting this lightly: thousands of people will die

Again, Caleb Ragland is not a soybean *farmer*. Caleb Ragland is a soybean farm *owner*. He doesn't farm 4000 acres of soybeans. He owns 4000 acres of soybeans that other people farm. He has a degree in business management, graduating Summa Cum Laude. And he voted for Trump, 3 times in a row.🤡

LAWYER: The shooter shared your post: “Bugs Bunny is a two-pump chump. I’d show Lola how to smash ‘Animal Style!’” What did you mean by that? ME: That Bugs Bunny cums fast. LAWYER: He lacks sexual prowess? ME: Yes. LAWYER: Did you consider that posting something this inflammatory might be dangerous?

CHOTINER: There are claims you've been down too long in the midnight sea. HOLY DIVER: Who's saying that?

[stepping over the corpses of thousands of dead immigrants, palestinians, iranians, and trans folk] listen political violence is NEVER okay. these are REAL people with REAL lives

Idk man, I think the journalists who have been traumatized the most were not sitting in that room tonight. The feds gassed the shit out of us, knocked us over, sent in the local PD to harass, detain, and hurt us, shot a teenaged photographer in the face and he lost an eye, and that's just in LA

BREAKING: room full of journalists waiting to be told what happened

I think it’s horrible that anybody should be subjected to gun violence. unlike the guy everyone was there to party with, who thinks it’s good and cool

America needs a mute button.

i know which part of it *i’m* dismayed by

The press everybody…
