The moment of silence and bugle call felt WAY more ominous this year. Kinda shook me up a bit. "In Flanders Fields" also hits differently lately, knowing there's a chance we'll have to make good on taking the torch. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget #SomeDefinitelyForgot #November11 #VeteransDay

TIL: Sandhill Cranes sound like Triffids.

So how long till we see Lebensborn 2.0? You know they're gonna do the thing.

I really hate that the current state of things has me actually giving a shit about baseball. If the Hamberders aren't going to do it, here's hoping that the Canadian team winning the world series will do it. #ClotsAndPrayers #LetsGoBlueJays #CardiacEvent

I am really annoyed at Doug Ford for doing shit that makes me cheer him on. I do not want to like that fucker at ALL.

@klingonpopwarrior.com I didn't see you come up in the "found accounts" thing when I left Twitter. Long time no see! Just saw this from a friend, obviously thought of you! bsky.app/profile/brys...

If every measure that immigrants were required to pass (Health, background check, associations, THE CIVICS TEST) were ALSO required in order to to run for any level of US government? The world would be a much better place.

I hate that the times we live in means getting news from memes, then having to Google "Big Balls" to get the context.

I have no idea how I managed to go this long without realizing that Hulk Hogan's chosen moniker involved the initials HH. Literally only noticed when I was too lazy to type it out when discussing the bountiful meme harvest with a friend.

The US coast guard invaded Canadian waters and kidnapped and abused a Quebec man. The US claims that the man was fishing in US waters, which is a lie given that they rammed his boat repeatdly to push him into US waters and nearly drowned him. #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

So does the Legend of Zelda announcement mean Son of a Critch is done? I haven't seen any renewal/cancellation notices! If it IS done, can someone please give Malcolm McDowell a spinoff? Pop was one of the best things on TV, IMHO.

If Trump is threatening Rosie O'Donnell's citizenship, I need to know... How does one get in on this? Like do you have to actually be famous to get denaturalized, or just really hurt his poor widdle feelings?

Well. That's certainly one way to quell the No Kings birthday protests. Really concerned for my friends in Minnesota :(

Sooooo... Has anyone heard from the couldn't-be-bothered-to-vote-against-him people lately? Just wondering if they're proud of themselves, given what's happening to Los Angeles.

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

Dear @bsky.app will we ever be able to send images in messages? How are we supposed to keep our Facebook-exile friends up to date on the drama they're missing in group chats they no longer have access to? Need to share screen caps!

This morning, I saw someone comment that "I really believe if RFK Jr didn't come from a famous family he would be a serial killer." And all I can think is... Are we 100% sure he isn't? I mean, beyond the atrocious antivax body count that's on his head. I bet he has a collection of 'trophies'.

Australia was ROBBED. #Eurovision

"Is she supposed to be an angel, or a vagina?" - my husband, watching #Eurovision

Well, I've been lazy about trying to make Bluesky work for me. Most of my friends are still pretty much exclusively on Facebook, which makes it hard to cut the cord. Well, one of them got his account nuked today, because zucc doesn't like his politics. 21 year old account, gone. So I try again.

Randomly... I really need Mary Walsh to do a series of videos where she "translates" the things Mark Carney says to/about Trump. @22-minutes.bsky.social please make it so!

I got out of the USA alive. Had my life saved by moving to Canada (Cancer that would have killed me in the USA). ... And I might actually die from secondhand embarrassment over that country, yet. Jesus.

Big thanks to Elon Musk, for ensuring democracy would survive this election. PeePee lost the election the minute he threw those Hitler salutes. #CanPoli #ElbowsUp

Guess we should be thanking Trump, as well as Quebec, and the deep unpopularity of Pollievre in Quebec.

OOH THANK FUCK! #CanPoli #ElbowsUp #NotTodayFash

The captions on the CBC election coverage just said "True Dope government", when quoting the commentator saying "Trudeau". So that's fun. #ElbowsUp #ElectionNight #CanPoli

Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but when did the conservatives start using "Secure the Future" on their lawn signs? Just saw one, and damn... That is a LOUD dog whistle. 12 years in the USA honed my Nazi 'dar, I just hope everyone else can see it for what it is. #CanPoli #ElbowsUp

I missed the fact that the new season of #HandmaidsTale premiered a few weeks ago and there several episodes up. Usually, I'd see mention of it long in advance. I wonder if all my friends stopped watching it, it hitting closer to home than ever before?

Just watched Die Hard... I mean G20. Really disappointed that "Ho ho ho, now I have RFID" didn't get said. Also, I feel like a particular scene near the end should have been more... Visual. If you're going to do Die Hard, just do it.

100%. Most Americans I know did not learn about Aktion T-4... And I think that's why so many people act like saying "Nazis" for anything short of gas chambers is just being histrionic. It started long before the gas chambers. We are at a PIVOTAL moment in this reliving of that history. FIGHT IT.

This is a Nazi . This is straight eugenics and before we start screaming “nuh uh” Recognize this is a tool to make us start counting and measuring our fellow humans And this is from a man so feckless he was cheating on his wife with a reporter and contaminating water supply with illegal game

Rfk: autistic people will never contribute to capitalism Liberals: here are many autistic people who contribute to capitalism Rfk: exactly, we both agree that the rest of autistic people can go in the Machine This is why you don't legitimize a guy who wants to mass murder people.

Finally getting around to the @22-minutes.bsky.social season finale, and I'm SO annoyed that we won't get anymore Mark McKinney as Mark Carney for a long time. The opening skit was amazing.

PP invoking Indigenous and Muslim victims like he gives a shit about either group is rage inducing. I might need some Screech to make it through this shit. #CanPoli

IF BLANCHET SEES QUEBEC AND QUEBECERS AS BEING COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM CANADA WHY IS HE RUNNING FOR PM?!!! AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGH. This is so dumb. The Greens should be there, not the Bloc. This is a *Canadian* *Federal* election. #CanPoli

Good lord, I really dislike Blanchet. How he's there, while the Green party isn't seen as widespread enough is beyond me. No one who says something like "The difference between Quebec and Canada..." should be running for PM. If Canada is a separate country to you, from your province... Why run?

Explain to me why encroaching on the second amendment is not allowed even when children’s lives are at stake but the first amendment is easily eroded when someone simply disagrees with our President.

It's not even 7:30 am, and I've already read: "If coffee isn't American, why do they call it 'Americano'?", in a discussion about tariffs. It was framed as a "gotcha", not an earnest question, a quick look at the profile killed my hope that it had actually been a solid, snarky joke. Siiiiigh.

Decided to check out "Mid Century Modern". I think it's the first American sitcom we've seen, since moving home. WTAF do yankees need to slap a laugh track on everything?? So stupid. Didn't even make it 3 minutes in. It's incredibly grating, being told "THAT WAS FUNNY! YOU SHOULD LAUGH NOW!"

1/2 You know, I have LONG known that the American political situation is largely due to the fact that a huge percentage of the population will vote against their own interests, to fuck someone else over. It's a big part of why they don't have universal healthcare, after all.

Hubby voted in his first Canadian federal election today! I later tried to explain Preston Manning, PC vs CPC, Refoooorm Party, etc to him. Now I'm thinking I'll just make him watch old Air Farce episodes. #CanPoli #ElbowsUp

A friend posted this on Facebook, I'm sharing it with permission. Fellow white people, cis people, etc... DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS NONSENSE. If you don't stand for the rights of the early targets, you will shoulder a chunk of the blame when they come for YOUR rights.

Americans will destroy themselves with an unnecessary trade war and a potential depression because they can't stand seeing people of color and women moving up a bit and getting a small piece of the pie. Same as it ever was.

You want another run on toilet paper? Cause that's how you get another run on toilet paper. Also, there's a fuckton of privilege in being able to stock up... Screwing over those who can't. But... America's gonna America.

I cant really focus on this word salad. So to recap what I think he is saying: youve all treated me so unfairly <stamp foot>. Here is a list of made up tariff numbers. We are such nice people we will only stab ourselves with half those invented tariffs?

Imagine holding Ronald Reagan up as your example of the best president ever, only to be surpassed by Trump. Woooof.

The fact that he has 43% of Americans approving of him even after EVERYTHING ... Is a hell of an indictment of Americans.

I've been on a bbno$ kick lately. Wasn't a fan after the first song I'd heard of his a while back, but "Check" is a banger, and after the Junos... The more I see from him, the more I like this dude. Just wish I could get that trumpet part of "Low Rider" out of my head.

If I was a mega rich CEO friend of Trump's, I feel like I would be very, VERY invested in Luigi not being martyred. They don't seriously think that "make an example of him" is... Going to go that way, right?

Trump's admin & various lackeys doing everything in their power to make Luigi Mangione a martyr is a wild choice. You'd think they'd be happily accepting the general apathy of the American population, not actively working to incite actual, appropriate opposition. And by "appropriate", I mean war
