What a perfect distillation of Trumpism: Stop whining about increased unaffordability, us fatcats are making a killing.

Here is a recap of a recent talk I gave at Queens University. Big thank you to everyone for having me out and to Amélie Desroches for putting this together on behalf of capaCITY. capacity-capacite.ca/tom-flood/

RFK Jr. Urges Americans To Grow Lots Of Pubes To Keep Bugs From Crawling In Cockhole https://theonion.com/rfk-jr-urges-americans-to-grow-lots-of-pubes-to-keep-bugs-from-crawling-in-cockhole/

Anytime Trump says some bullshit I see a fair amount of despondent comments like "And like a third of the country will believe him" which is true but I think you just have to get past that. Like a third of the country believes in ghosts too, we don't need total consensus to win

The GOP/MAGA crowd aren't crowing publicly about the Dow any more. Remember: the elite traders and their derivatives make money in all of the manufactured chaos. Only the masses get screwed. Over and over again.

Why is it that when the Rapture doesn't happen on a predicted date, the Rapture Christians conclude they got the day wrong & not that the Rapture happened and they got passed over because they suck?

And they'll continue to flow through smoothly because even if the US wanted to retaliate, they are too dependent on oil and gas to risk further cutting the supply. Oil and gas are national security liabilities. Rapid investment in modern energy sources like solar is essential for energy security.

Major investment in renewable energy is a national security imperative.

From @jaredwesley.ca "Smith’s use of referendums is motivated not by an altruistic commitment to direct democracy. Rather, it is strategic and highly politicized — designed to hold her party’s divergent factions together by dividing them from the rest of the province." thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

The conflict in Iran is hurting your wallet—and the planet. The "Peace President" has gone to war, and Big Oil is already cashing the checks. The only real path to security and peace is a fast, just transition to clean energy. You can’t hold the wind or sun hostage.

Magical. #grickledoodle #coffee #caffiene #morning #cartoon #art #drawing #funny #humor

The estimated duration of the war with Iran has already stretched from four weeks to six to even potentially eight, according to Hegseth. Let's call it what it is. interc.pt/4rua3NJ

Attn #cdnpoli: Achieving net zero target will cost less than a single oil shock + bring health & economic benefits. Eliminating reliance on fossil fuels thru renewable energy tech (eg solar, EVs & heat pumps) = best & most cost-effective option for future economy www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Four ways the rogue president is undercutting the U.S. first amendment, which prohibits the federal government from passing laws restricting free speech or curtailing a free press. Michael Harris writes. #uspoli

Trump says random, contradictory things about his war because he is not OK in the head, and these buffoonish NYT reporters think he is playing three-dimensional chess with the stock market. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/b...

Gee, on Monday he was threatening a 20x escalation to "take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again." It's almost like he has no idea what he's talking about, ever. See: presswatchers.org/2026/03/the-...

Your high school teacher was right: math is important. The oil + gas industry is pushing to use Alberta's methane math, which would result in millions of excess tonnes of pollution. We can't let big polluters off the hook. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.nationalobserver.com/2026/03/10/n...

Re-upping as interties are "so hot right now" (not physically; that would be a bad thing...) Great to see the momentum for this build! macleans.ca/economy/forg...

What I'm saying through all the typos is PLEASE for the love of god just let the credits play, let me have any sort of closure for the thing I just watched before you shovel more feed into the pig trough of "content" consumption. The credits are important. At least wait until the main scroll starts

Satisfying to see @davidjbier.bsky.social absolutely dogwalk Sen. Kennedy here. Kennedy is so far gone he doesn’t even seem to realize the “Blue-ski” posts he’s reading are the consensus view of most Americans and not some Marxist smoking gun or something.

I've been struggling with how to express my dismay at the war coverage by our top newsrooms, and how it dances around the central fact that Trump is deranged and unfit to command. I finally wrote something. Please read it. presswatchers.org/2026/03/the-...

Over five million people protested against the regime in June. More than seven million people took to the streets in October. March 28 will be even bigger, with nearly 3,000 events already on the No Kings Day map. Be part of the largest protest in American history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

“The [Copenhagen] modal split in 1970 was about 10% biking. But then we got the oil crisis…So that was the changing point and now there’s more than a 30% bike modal split.” We can change our cities. Because of the high price of gas, or just because it’s clearly the smart thing to do. #UrbanTruth

In response to a question about fears of a military draft and whether Trump has plans for ground troops in Iran, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said such measures are "not part of the current plan" but that the president "keeps his options on the table." www.snopes.com/fact-check/t...

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right. But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.

Shocking. #grickledoodle #deer #antelope #play #cartoon #art #drawing #funny #humor

The piece is actually understated. And every major news organization around the globe should be writing daily about how manifestly unfit Hegseth AND Trump are to be leading a war.

This oil price shock will obscure what’s increasingly become Alberta’s shaky advantage over everyone else. My latest: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Late last year, a white supremacist dating platform was hacked and its users leaked. One of those users is Royal Canadian Air Force Major Tristan Armstrong, who CAHN has linked to thousands of posts made on far-right forums between 2019 and 2024. 🧵 www.antihate.ca/air_force_ma...

This is an active duty RCAF officer: "For Armstrong, who is in his mid-40s, 'the ideal woman is childlike' ... Armstrong posted in a separate comment: 'The moment a girl has her first period, she is at her peak marriagability.'" [sic]

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words. -Ursula K. Le Guin

Caitlin Kalinowski sets just the example we need in tech. Her uncompromising public resignation is diplomatic, impersonal, professional – and visible. ...

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense. People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

We changed BIG when the consequences were a lot LESS than what we’re facing from the #ClimateCrisis. Don’t let anyone tell you we CAN’T change.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February. A record number of Americans are withdrawing from their 401ks to cover expenses. Americans owe $18.5 trillion in debt — an historic high. Meanwhile, the wealth of America's 935 billionaires soared by $1.5 trillion in 2025. “Golden Age” for whom?

Lessons from functional democracies: •Sharply reduce executive presidential power. No presidential immunity •Don't allow political parties in power to set election district boundaries nor change them •Make voting easy, ensure everyone can vote, including registering to vote at polls on election days
