Ah yes what a mystery. How could a small plane with limited fuel disappear over an unimaginably large body of water?

Pianoforte is such a funny name to me. Imagine meeting someone with the name Quietloud, Softhard, or Gentlystrong.

The nazis themselves were not some clever masterminds where everything they did went perfect. They were also comical idiots who did ridiculous things, like invading Russia in the winter. They gained power because the opposition couldn’t understand that the fascists were not rational agents.

I had some issues with Ta-Nehisi because he was a little too swoony about Obama, and felt a little detached. But this is very real and very aware.

Every urbanist who understands that speed cameras are a bandaid:

The very least we could do after this is sanction Israel and stop selling them arms.

This took way too long www.thestar.com/politics/car...

I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again. It is so easy to get a gun in the US that there is no excuse for communities not to have armed patrols to protect against ICE and right-wing violence. The Black Panthers did it the 60s and 70s and community groups did it in San Francisco in the 80s.

The government of Canada has come down harder on these rappers than on a state committing genocide. Israel still has an embassy in Canada despite Israel not only publicly endorsing violence and hate, but killing tens of thousands of people. Perhaps hundreds of thousands. We don't even know anymore.

Boooooo!!! Bad decision www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Probably the least offensive thing I’ve heard a Canadian say about the US. www.innisfiltoday.ca/national-new...

This is eliminationist, genocidal rhetoric. There’s nothing ambiguous about it. And it didn’t come from a random Bluesky account with 28 followers. It came from a sitting member of Congress. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/texas-c...

Doesn't matter if Jimmy Kimmel is a wanker. If the US government is silencing comedians for joking about their favorite podcaster then you're in full blown authoritarianism territory

The death of Charlie Kirk did not radicalize people, but the reactions to his death definitely did. The number of people I know who are not engaged politically who saw what he said and believed and then saw how some people were making him a martyr made them notice some major systemic issues.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

i mean, he's actually right, but... *spider-man pointing meme*

This is a win-win

There's an old interview where they ask AC/DC if it's true their band stands for "Antichrist Demon's Children" and Angus Young replies "I got it off the back of a sewing machine" Thinking of that as news pundits try to decode the shooter's ideology only for the answer to be "it's a brainrot meme"

Incredibly 21st Century scenario where a stupid alt-right child puts anti-fascist slogans from a video game that he didn’t understand on bullets to kill an alt-right man that wasn’t “conservative enough”

Wow, pretty wild that this kid didn’t realize that he was the fascist and that he only used anti-fascist slogans because he liked a video game that had them.

As the youth say, Based.

"0.3 per cent of the world’s land area – yes, just the land – would be needed to meet the current energy demand from solar alone, which is LESS THAN THE CURRENT LAND FOOTPRINT OF FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE."

Actually kind of insane that more than half of these are resource extraction projects. Those aren’t the resilient infrastructure projects we should be focusing on in this plan. That’s just corporate welfare. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Wut? www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Literally inciting violence and saying Democrats (the ones who are preaching unnecessary pacifism) are the “lunatics” in the same breath.

you don’t have to have a take on everything but i will say for the record that gavin newsom’s “continue his work” post is one of the more disgusting things i have ever seen considering that the dead man in question wanted at least ~2.8 million americans eradicated & believed empathy was a sin.

i guess the real message is don't fuck around with etsy witches www.jezebel.com/we-paid-some...

The first Democratic politician to crack a Charlie Kirk joke should run for president. They’ve got my vote.

GOOD-FAITH DEBATE

Political violence can be good when the guy next door or the guy in charge has a big stick and is ready to use it. Those of colonial/fascist history will know the difference between Cuba and Indonesia. When the brown shirts came knocking one of these places was ready.

Does anyone have eyes on Luigi?

Let’s get rid of those speed cameras though www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Brilliant. Justify the vandals. Great governance here. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Insane that there has been absolutely no effort to try and stop/catch these people. We just keep putting these back up and waiting for them to be cut down again.

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

Under Olivia Chow, council hasn’t been approving nearly enough unfunded projects. Or voting to receive reports that are never looked at again. Only John Tory knows what it means to look very busy while doing absolutely nothing of consequence.

You’d think he’d be happy living it up with his Rogers money, his multiple homes, his radio gigs, his board positions, but no, he has to go back to being one of Toronto’s least decisive and most fiscally disastrous mayors of all time.

I remember when this guy was touted as a “green capitalist”, but he’s really just a normal capitalist. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

The other day my wife asked me how Lenin died and I responded “he was shot by a fan outside of his apartment in New York City”.

Many centrist pundits have never experienced the business end of conservative policy but have experienced the left being mean to them for the stupid things they say and so they assume from their "elevated rational" position that they're each just as bad.

Another speed camera down this morning on Runnymede.

Including Erin today, there have been 42 hurricanes that have reached Category 5 in the Atlantic since records began in 1851. 11 of those have happened in the past 10 years. Climate change is increasing the maximum strength of hurricanes — so stronger storms now happen more often.

Very confused by the geography of the Toronto Islands. The Centre Island Ferry goes to Middle Island where the amusement park is. But the Hanlan’s Point Ferry goes to the West side of Centre Island, not to Hanlan’s Island which is a small island between Centre Island.
