My general belief is that Dems need to spend more time thinking about what they believe and less about what they think some imaginary swing voters want them to believe. Political strategy will stem from an authentic set of beliefs.

Forty fucking years, man.

Whew. TNC is so patient. I don’t have that level of patience but I am glad he does. Ezra Klein comes off so…badly in that conversation. Yikes.

as far as i can tell, people are having substantive conversations about ezra’s interview with ta-nehisi, but then i’m not thomas chatterton williams, professional dilettante and, apparently, liar

A thing I like to bear in mind about people like Ezra Klein and Thomas Chatterton Williams is that they're very boring.

One afternoon in June 1993 I was at work at the advance ticket window in the Blue Jays box office. It wasn’t busy so I was staring out at the Gardiner when the guy next to me yelled out, “Hey! That’s Tony Fernandez!” Sure enough, it was. We’d just required him from the Mets.

Tempting fate, but the magic number is…

I didn’t think pile-drivers were allowed in rugby.

Apparently, being the MP for Eglinton-Lawrence is a cabinet-level position with a free hand where matters pertaining to Israel are concerned. That’s that only conclusion I can draw when I try to figure out on what/whose authority Gasparro, an assistant to a junior minister, acted.

Been seeing stuff here about Trump and Portland, so I checked to see what the paper of record had to say about it.

There is no scenario where I would want to see the Conservatives form government but it is wise to prepare as Carney's Liberals are doing everything they can to make that a certainty in about a year's time

Governors of border states: “Please, Canadians, come and visit and spend your dollars here. We love you!” Chud Truckley, Customs and Border Protection officer: “Get the fuck back on your side of the border and stay there!” www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

I for one cannot believe the prime minister, a monument to truth and openness, would misrepresent his actions. This must be a smear campaign by the CBC (the Conservative BS Corporation) which is run by Harper appointees who back PeePee. #IStandWithCarney /s www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

For Christ's sake, Apple TV, it's bad enough we have to watch your bargain-basement telecasts of MLB, but could your announcers be at least a little bit arsed to pronounce the players' names correctly?

Oh yeah, this is totally better than game 163, he said as he opened another economy-size bottle of Rolaids.

Tous les flics sont — comment ça veut dire — des salauds www.montrealgazette.com/news/article...

Go Nazi, look like a patsy

This reeks. But Ontario seems to like the corrupt murder clown who is allegedly the premier.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Dozens of delegates from multiple nations walk out of UN hall as Israeli prime minister prepares to speak.

As awful as it must be to be Lindsey Graham, it's not nearly awful enough.

I know I’ve been posting a lot about this, but it’s telling of how this government looks at society that at the very moment Mark Carney can’t stop talking about nation-building projects, he’s throwing the biggest nationwide service-delivery network on the scrap heap because it doesn’t make money.

So Carney lied again. But if you put it that way it’s not news.

It’d be interesting to find out if any Ontario traffic signal manufacturers are owned/managed by Ontario PC donors.

I predict Bob Benzie’s lede in the Star will be “Premier Doug Ford unveiled a plan to bring relief to beleaguered motorists who are struggling to pay onerous fines issued by speed cameras.” Martin Regg Cohn will frame it as “This should silence Ford critics who claim he never admits a mistake.”

Good news, Ontario. There are no longer any speed limits in school zones. Drive as fast as you feel comfortable with. If a few kids die, all the better. Cheaper housing and better healthcare for the rest of us.

If you want to dispute a ticket, aren’t the instructions literally printed on it?

It would be good, if counterproductive, for a reporter to ask Steve Del Duca how it feels to be such an asshole.

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

The Telecommunications Act that Bill Clinton signed into law in 1996 is a fair chunk of the problem.

It’s almost as if closing the borders to immigrants might be bad for the economy. But hey, we get cheaper apartments, right? . . . Right?

Buck, if these are the best umpires in the world, we need to do a better job of making umpires.

That umpire wasn’t receptive to the new J & PB.

Racing to the front of the guillotine line 😮

because she needs another guy on a horse to finish her off

I went on down to the Audubon Zoo and they all axed for you.

But chin up, Toronto. In a few decades the Eglinton Crosstown might be open and then the Portage-and-Main-ization of Yonge and Eglinton can proceed apace. (And yes, I’m aware pedestrians can cross the streets at P&M now. Toronto doesn’t even aspire to do better than Winnipeg.)

This effing city.

Hopefully we get rid of police enforcement next and just let drivers do whatever the hell they want, it's time we give our streets back to those in the automobile!🤞

Funny how those “removing statues is erasing history!!!” people are so silent about this one 😃

Been driving for 41 years, only got one speeding ticket—eastbound Lake Shore, just before Strachan, 71 in a 60 zone. Parking? Maybe three. This guy is just an asshole.

Maybe the real rapture was the friends we met along the way.

The Mulroney crime family.

Words cannot describe how much I hope hell exists so these fuckers can burn in it.

I’ve blocked or muted 14 of the top 25 and only follow two of the rest.

All Umpires Are Bastards.

Exactly. If the speed cameras are going, redesign the street radically.

The current IEC chair (Councillor Fletcher) needs to lose her seat next fall.

It’s an embarrassment to live in this province.
