Somebody with greater photoshop skills needs to do a Blair Witch Project one. I could also see dunce caps being a popular theme.

While I could guess why, it took 32 paragraphs to finally get to the reason. Also, while I grant this was likely written to a tight deadline, having every paragraph be a single sentence makes reading this feel like I'm reading one of the Toronto Sun's had-trouble-in-5th-grade columnists.

An explanation comes in the comments for those unable to guess. I knew *what* it was but didn't know the why of it. Remarkable.

One of my favourite places when I go back home to visit is hiring.

Jesus, this is a brutal minute.

This is the way, make “ok, abolish only ICE” the moderate position.

"I've seen what happens when a technocrat tries to pivot to politician and it doesn't work too well" it's incredible how much these stupid fucks talk about themselves when scrambling for the quickest insult and response to the endless cascade of crises they have engineered for themselves.

No notes. 🔥

Quick iconic comic cover edit to laud Ilhan Omar.

Jew here Nazis murdered my family members The Trump regime is kidnapping people, including kids, using chemical weapons on them (including on kids), torturing them, executing them, & putting them in horrific concentration camps where many are tortured, killed, or disappeared The comparison stands

interesting and perhaps essential news. I'd like to see stats around the shift, but if true... hoo boy

The US Embassy in Copenhagen removed flags honouring the Danish dead in US wars, left outside during a protest, because the display hadn't been 'coordinated' with them. That was... tactless? tone deaf? provocative? stupidly bureaucratic? But they have, at least, now backtracked and replaced them.

ok the full clip is way better than the little one going around. her whole team try to get her to bail on the event and she's like no, I came to speak. incredible example.

Trying to coerce a foreign head of state into price gouging their public healthcare system is something I never thought I would type out in a skeet

There's no way you can keep funding a federal government who's primary mission is to inflict pain on the population. Every federal agency from McMahon at DoE to RFK shredding HHS and everything in between. Every day we let them stay open is more time we'll need to repair the damage they've done

Zevon is listening because Banjo has something to say.

Dad was walking the beat in the late 60s when he saw a guy being beat up by two others. He ran and intervened and the two told him to fuck off, showed badges that they were undercover RCMP. Dad did not fuck off, and they had to deal with their perp in a different way. This seems far less likely now.

Clearly he didn't send out his girlfriend to pave the way for him.

Noem doesn’t want to fall on her sword. Wait, I don’t like that idiom for her. Lemme rephrase. Noem doesn’t want to be her dog getting shot in a ditch

Next time KC plays on a snow day fans need to make sure he has enough snow balls to determine if this is a pattern.

Brittany Mahomes is reposting conspiracy theories about the catastrophic snowstorm being “manufactured”, most cooked WAG in pro sports I’m afraid

I take issue with being called a former gifted kid, as my vocabulary has only continued to broaden compared to that of the average eight-year-old

“We need to divert attention from the Pretti murder.” “Gotcha.”

Today is "Large boulder the size of a small boulder" day!

There was a day where I would have been hard-pressed to accept that even one of these people existed *and* they were given a platform. Seeing four in one spot overwhelmed me for all of two seconds, and then I wondered where were all the other assholes.

The internal polling that conservatives are seeing on this has to be insane

Charlie Brown didn’t have hoes when I knew him, but growing up he had a dog named Snoopy. Loved that dog. Talked about him often. Heartbroken when he died. He joined him one grey December morning, 1985. Family said it was pneumonia, but everyone knew. Violet refused to come to the funeral.

Quite taken with the new Harry Styles video (the song as well, yes). If you'd pointed my 62yo self back to my college DJ/alt rock days, there would have been arguments about this decision, but there it is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sxV...

Given the billions of dollars a select few of grocery empires make, PM @mark-carney.bsky.social, this is rather underwhelming. I support the @ndp.ca 's idea of a publicly funded/operated grocery store that is not motivated by profit. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Pro Football Hall of Famer John Randle posted a statement about ICE as text overlays on various portraits of himself and I kind of love it

Jeff Bezos’s $40 million bribe of the Trumps, in the form of his Amazon-MGM-produced Melania documentary, is out in about 2,000 theaters across the country this Friday (5,000 worldwide, according to MarketWatch), backed by an inescapable $35 million advertising assault

Whale fall mug. Incredibly time consuming and meticulous work, but stunning results

Obviously I knew public schools were completely underfunded, but you still want to imagine that your tax dollars are out there doing good stuff for you. But no, we can't afford luxuries like "snacks" and "books" and "teacher salaries" when our poor cops are driving around tankless

Kristi Noem Calls On Minneapolis Residents To Stop Obstructing Murders https://theonion.com/kristi-noem-calls-on-minneapolis-residents-to-stop-obstructing-murders/

What if they've stopped reading Rowling BECAUSE they're in love with liberalism? What if they actually BELIEVE that "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." What if they in fact KNOW that "It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be."

Nothing more reassuring than hearing the DOT say, “Meh” and shrug at plane safety rules.

"ICE OUT" on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, as seen from my flight leaving MSP airport

This came up in my old posts today. Don’t know why, but it feels good to know that Andre 3000 specifically is this kind of guy.

“Planning for how to deal with the unthinkable must start now. The writing is on the wall. It is time to accept it.” The decline of the US into authoritarianism is something Canada must accept and be prepared to defend against. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli thewalrus.ca/is-canada-re...

This whole thread is good shit but I would echo this in particular. A lot of libs and lefties note the highly evident stupidity of right-wing politics and jump to the conclusion that dumb people are taken in by it. But that gets the progression wrong. Right-wing politics *makes* you stupid.

"For many years, credit card companies and other payment methods were aggressive about policing child sexual abuse material. Then, Elon Musk’s Grok started undressing children on X."

[stares directly into the camera]

I have used literally EXACTLY this tactic, it works as perfectly as if it were tailor-made for the purpose.

I once read a thread on sexism in international relations/spying where women were instructed to make wrong claims about X whenever they wanted to get secret information on X; a man would just disclose the key info by means of mansplaining

Amazing how there's an Albertan deserving of more of my antipathy and hatred than Danielle Smith, and yet here it is.

Nothing can prepare your soul for the first image ever transmitted onto a television

Fun fact: Your local bookstore is doing more to protect you and your neighbors than Amazon is.

Theia Chatelle's amazing photograph of Greg Ketter, owner of DreamHaven Books in Minneapolis...emerging from a cloud of tear gas. Signed there a couple of times, great SF/Fantasy bookstore.

Christopher, that looks suspiciously like an AI-generated ripoff of this editorial cartoon drawn by Nick Anderson @andertoon.bsky.social
