Adam McKay - "Don't Look Up" - is back with "Headline Newds" www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio... #ClimateBrawl

Wrote about yesterday and lots of other infamous days in American history www.jezebel.com/this-is-who-...

Watching the GOP stand by this madness and hearing finance people talk about whether genocide would be good or bad for the market just makes apparent the sickness that’s festered beneath the veneer of America for so long. We can’t look away anymore. We have to shut this shit down.

There is a path. It’s the path that Michael Vick walked. He has worked with the Humane Society for the last 17 years to educate folk about animal cruelty. He says he’ll do that work for the rest of his life. Call me when Louis or Kanye devotes even one weekend to making reparation.

Didn't Letterman do this once?

I'm not a fan of "we're completely lost" framing. This is a country that has supported some of the very worst bloodthirsty dictators in history - especially in Latin America. A country that has started numerous unjustified wars resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians....

That's a MillAr I can support #canmnt

"we believe in more pipelines and in reducing emissions" We believe in having pizza and ice cream for every meal and in losing weight.

The idea that the Israeli occupation drags the United States into war is one of the most persistent narratives in global politics. But this explanation ignores how power actually operates. Journalist Raja Abdulhaq explains, for Sahat English, the power dynamics of the U.S.

not enough people are talking about the attempt to assassinate Nerdeen Kiswani

Yeah they would be... which is why they got trump in the first place.

Separated at birth

well, there goes Miller's World Cup chances #canmnt

Is Danielle Smith a Monster? “The old world is dying, and a new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters.” - Antonio Gramsci Yeah, she really is a monster. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli markhamhislop.substack.com/p/is-daniell...

I hope Canadians remember every liberal MP, every Cabinet member, who has willingly turned the "liberals" into the new conservatives.

Being religious, male, and aggressive increases the likelihood of transphobia, study finds https://sinapti.ca/post/en/being-male-more-religious-and-more-aggressive-increases-the--g4v017wc

Climate change, racism, wealth inequality, war... In this critical moment in human history there is only one conclusion...

41% of Americans approve of the job he's doing. Make your own conclusions.

So the icons on TOC were a massive let down (not in culinary skills of course but in competition worthiness) #tournamentofchampions

A 13-year-old girl tried to take her life by cutting her wrists with a plastic knife from the cafeteria after guards took away drawing materials, and was put into isolation without seeing a doctor. The teen was deported to Colombia after nearly two months in confinement

McDonald's employee with Down syndrome retires after 32 years of service.

When we vote ourselves to the brink of extinction the incompatibility of capitalism and democracy will become brutally apparent. Of course by then it'll probably be too late. #ClimateEmergency

I’m starting to think Mark Carney isn’t too concerned with protecting Canadians or their interests. #Cdnpoli

When the prairies burn this summer remember the fuckheads who cry out that the leap manifesto didn't poll well. #cdnpoli

I know it's been said many times before but there was a point long ago when I genuinely looked forward to a Taibbi column. Tracey has always been a decrepid worm of a human. Taibbi's fall makes Baumgartner's jump look trivial.

Every time a person tells me “me too has gone too far” I scream in their face “THEY PUT A PEDOPHILE RAPIST IN THE WHITE HOUSE, YOU LEMMING”.

This is what happens when you accept an invitation to trump's White House. #Toofuckingbad

Compulsory collective worship serves a different purpose. It presents a single belief as normative and authoritative. It positions itself as devotional, not educational, undermining the aims and objectives of RVE to educate children about, rather than lead them to adopt, particular religions.

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“ A double-tap strike on little girls at school.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Nothing gets fixed until the incomprehensibly massive, truly obscene, unsustainable wealth inequality is confronted.

sure this might *seem* useless and pathetic it might *seem* like the opposition party yet again failing so hard at opposition that it's almost impossible they're not doing it on purpose but who knows, maybe if trump explains things *just right* it'll bring those schoolchildren back from the dead

The problem isn't trump didn't get congressional approval to start a war. It's that he wanted to attack Iran. US presidents have conducted hundreds of attacks w/o congressional approval and one of the only times a lack of approval stopped an attack the president at the time nevertheless ..

Five decades of US drumbeats for war with Iran and too many of the posts I’m seeing are claiming that Trump was pushed into this, implication being against his will, by Israel. This is aligned interests, not a vassal state power play—don’t let the bipartisan war machine off the hook

As the"distraction" talk inevitably ramps up I think we should try to remember one thing. "...everything that matters matters, so none of it is a distraction" - @juliusgoat.bsky.social www.the-reframe.com/there-is-no-...

CBC airing the State of the Union address pisses me off and is also so embarrassing. I wish Canadians understood that "Everything the US does, impacts us" has become a self-fulfilling prophecy where we rely on them for everything and are therefore, constantly being impacted by their BS.

"Fink (BlackRock) told the FT before the conference: “We are living in a more polarising world." I hate term polarising to describe world today. There are batshit fucking crazy, indescribably stupid & evil people, mealy mouthed capitalists and a relatively sane majority. These aren't fucking poles

Canada will be closed on Sunday for hockey. We apologize for the inconvenience.

So how popular will the name Donald be in ten years? (Like naming a child Adolf in the 1950s)

The only way we'll know for sure about who is right is to lock Kennedy in a sealed room and release the 5 most deadly odorless pathogens.

The thing about climate change isn't that we need "solutions." We have solutions. We need to implement them.

"Rocks just laying around" RIP

"totally exonerated" = directly implicated thousands of times by victims, witnesses and emails in some of the most heinous crimes imaginable. NYT soon: trump claims innocence while critics aren't so sure.

A reasonably intelligent person who cared more about defeating the fascists than anything else would not publicly announce 2 1/2 years in advance that they will vote for the POS candidate no matter what. They would be doing whatever they could to make sure the POS candidate isn't the nominee.

There weren’t any children on the court

Remember kids,when opposing kidnapping, torture and murder committed by Nazi paedophiles don't lower the tone.

5-1 Canada..👍

After suffering a seizure inside an ICE detention center, #LeqaaKordia said, she was kept in chains that weighed on her hands and legs in a hospital room, while barred from contacting her family or attorneys. www.northjersey.com/story/news/p...

My hope is they'll reject gravity and start jumping off buildings.
