I think it is possible to have level-headed, educated discussions on this platform. I’m not fond of knee-jerk reactions and name-calling. If a comment isn’t as articulate as it could be, ask for clarity. If your go-to reaction is to cast aspersions I’m just going to block. It’s infantile but 🤷‍♀️.

I wanted to zone out today so I thought it would be fun to watch old episodes of Sex and the City. God. It’s painful.

The invasion of the idiots, indeed. Umberto Eco knew what was coming, 10 years ago.

Canada's Supreme Court. Prohibited by law from accepting gifts. No one knows their political affiliation (because they have none). Decide cases based on the law alone. Subject to strict ethical rules. Regularly rule against whoever appointed them. #cdnpoli #USPoli nationalmagazine.ca/en-ca/articl...

My book arrived yesterday. I got it secondhand so the dust cover is missing but at least savages haven’t sullied its pages with sacrilegious ballpoint pens.

BELIEF = POWER You've been conditioned to be weak. Stop giving away your power. Refuse to believe in things that make you weaker.

The Americans starving these children wear crucifixes and call themselves “Christians.” People are not what they tell you they are; they are how they behave. apnews.com/article/myan...

Your Prime Day reminder that Amazon... -Provides cloud services that help fuel ICE's deportation machine -Donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund -Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump -Shelled out $40M for a documentary about Melania Trump

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Is it bad that I find this hilarious?

Mars was the Roman god of war. That’s why we say ‘martial arts,' ‘martial law,' and 'court martial.' Marshall was the Roman god of designer fashion at discount prices. That’s why we have Marshall’s.

I’m gonna go hang out with my gal now.

To the people of the US: you don’t have until October 18th.

Greta Thunberg “I'm not scared of Israel. I’m scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity.” Stand with Greta, stand with humanity.

Absolutely this. Arrest, detain, and imprison Miller for the shit he's pulling. Every state Miller has had a hand in invading needs to do this so he'll spend years playing musical prisons as each state takes its turn imprisoning him for the crimes he committed in each state.

Don’t read other people’s diaries.

At what point will we realize that a new global war is underway? We need to understand the extreme danger that we are in so that we don't stumble further into the darkness. My latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/when-did-t...

📌 The entire world 🌎 is laughing at America now 🐥

Good tune. Have a listen.

For a number of years I worked as a note taker for hearing impaired people and people with other disabilities at the University of Toronto. I started doing it because I needed a job. One day a student told me that after her first class with me as a note taker she sat in her car and cried because

This is terrible. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/9dca123...

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

The thing that gets me about all these rich guys burning the world to the ground is they could solve so many real problems and help so many people and still have billions of dollars left over, but they actively choose evil. I don’t get it.

Jürgen is correct. Any historian of Germany in the 30s recognizes this language and approach instantly: the "enemy within" consisted of Social Democrats, Jews, Poles, Gyspies and Gays. Their eradication was sought and to a horrendous extent accomplished.

Yes, “Canada” called him. OMG! FYI, rest of the world, Canada is doing just fine.

Christians are not being persecuted in Canada and never have been. Why doesn’t anyone call him out on this stuff? He lies and lies and lies.

What the fuck is going on?! Seriously.

What’s Bad Bunny?

I can’t explain it. My cat loves wood shims. LOVES THEM! Yes, she is snuggling a wood shim in my bed.

She’s not wrong.

🤣 chucklehead

In an age of toxic rhetoric and escalating political violence we need to conjure the spirit of D'Arcy McGee. He gave his life for the principle that our nation will survive if we focus on what binds us rather than on what divides. charlieangus.substack.com/p/rethinking...

And I have been so sickened by the Christian Nationalist push coming from the administration and right wing ecosystem, that my instinct is to refuse to engage. But John Fugelsang reminded me that it hasn't always been crazy. And those aren't real Christians. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ndM...

Thank you, Norway. That explains why the President of the United States is declaring war on Portland. Not Poland. Portland. Poor Donny boy.

I’ve realized that I’m at that point in life where I have no more fucks to give.

Noah catalogued every living animal in pairs and was hyperfocused on boats. Don’t tell me autism started with Tylenol.

Paying attention is exhausting. Not paying attention doesn’t seem right. If one doesn’t pay attention then one won’t know when or how to act.

“A report by the CBC revealed that Pierre Poilievre hired the team behind Canada Proud to ‘boost his messages online.’ The organization has since been caught running disinformation campaigns targeting Mark Carney. Canadians deserve to know every last detail about Poilievre‘s ties to Canada Proud.”

Awesome. 😂 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

One of the bummers of losing real deal newspapers is that you'll be reading an article about territorial disputes and just below that you'll find a classified in search of a lost cat named Sancho.
