Gods, even the Americans that give me hope mess it up with the exceptionalism sometimes. The US was never party to the Rome Statute. You can’t abdicate something you never had.

Unlike other places, The Onion is quadrupling down on being a pain in the ass, politically. Please subscribe.

Hilariously, Ezra Levant -- whose Rebel News literally crowdfunded for the Freedom Convoy that wanted to overthrow the federal government -- now demeans and denigrates Alberta teachers as wanting to "undermine the government." You can't make this stuff up. You just can't.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!👻 Loona and Octavia pumpkins!🎃

lmao get fucked, Andrew.

Also: "Amnesty International has strongly condemned Alberta's recent legislation targeting transgender youth, calling the measures "appalling" and a violation of constitutional rights." Leading human rights organization condemns the UCP repeatedly. Disgusting. amnesty.ca/press-releas...

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ. We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights. Help us win this fight by chipping in at katforillinois.com/legal

Dear Trump, Cry more lol

Wanna get off Russian gas? Invest in Canada. Help fund the new infrastructure, get gas. Much love, Euro friends.

The US is demolishing part of the WH for a tacky ballroom. Meanwhile in Canada, we’re doing a painstaking, delicate restoration of Parliament Hill’s Centre Block to preserve it for a hundred years more. The irony is palpable.

Israel asking us to reconsider arresting Netanyahu if he comes here is mildly funny. We’re party to the Rome Statute, you’re committing a genocide, the ICC rightly issued a warrant, end of debate.

My favourite thing about BSky. I know whose posts to ignore immediately, and never like any art, memes, or cartoons they post. c:

Because jokes about men getting raped are funny, right guys? /s No. You’re abhorrent. Making fun of male victims isn’t somehow okay just because they’re male.

Carney, please. I can only get so erect. D:

Yes, “antifa” does “just” stand for anti-fascist. But can we please stop pretending there is NO organization to it? I’ve been in the underground forums and comms. There ARE people who organize things collectively. It’s amorphous, yes, but it’s not *just* a descriptor of one’s political position.

Sometimes it feels like the American system of government is still in beta, while Westminster hit v1.0 a while back…

Anyone going that hard with the incredulity definitely did it. lmao

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This is amazing. Yellow vest guy, I salute you.

This year I have agreed wholeheartedly with some of the things MTG and Hasan f’kin’ Piker have said. And that’s off the top of my head. What weird and wacky timeline am I living in?

Alberta wanting to separate from us less believable than Crimea was, which is a feat, I’d say. Quebec would have a better chance at passing such a vote. And last time they did it failed. And with the US breathing down our collective necks it’d probably fail even harder if done again.

Saw an RCAF cargo jet flying overhead, and for the first time in my life I thought about the people in that plane having to defend my country on our home soil. It was…not pleasant.

Me, every day, reading about Canada-US relations.

And me over here considering that I might want a passport with an X identifier.

Flag jacking has always been inappropriate & they've always done it. I blame that for being part of the reason people say "Canadians are like Americans but (insert stereotypes )"; cause they meet U.S. cosplaying as Canucks & don't realize there's far more to Canada than that temu version they got.

Fuck Maple MAGA. If they hate Canada so much, they can immigrate to the United States. They can take Pierre Poilievre with them.

lt’s important to condemn comedians who do evil shit like: - Joe Rogan - Theo Von - Everyone who performed at the Riyadh comedy festival But it’s also important to praise the comedians who are doing good and leading right now: - Jimmy Kimmel - Stephen Colbert - South Park - God

Damn. That’s lonely.

50 cruise missiles, 3 smoke pillars in the area, 400mg ibuprofen, 2 panic attacks, no breakfast

I no longer know what else to say. My words won’t stop the missiles or melt the world’s indifference. World leaders will once again “express concern”, while we, Ukrainians, will keep living through air raids, fighting and trying to stop russia, which every day seeks to destroy us.

So, Canadian tourism to the US is down, and so the American ambassador to Canada suggests making it more difficult for Canadian tourists to visit the US? This really is the Age of Dumb.

Wait what? I go away to have fun for a few hours and this is what I come back to?

“End the war or find bomb shelters” goes pretty hard, ngl.

Sooooo…no rapture? What a f’king disappointment. I was looking-forward to having earth all to us heathens, free of those preachy, annoying types. 😭

A drone wall is a military capacity, not a defense strategy. Above all we need to deter Russia from violating EU airspace in the first place and break their war economy. Hit the archer, not just the arrows.

I drew porn for fun now I'm drawing it for fun and spite

I expect this is an experiment that’ll work well.

Pete Hoekstra needs to get the hell out of Canada and back to the US where he can suck Trump’s dick. He’s no ambassador; he’s a MAGA shill and a fascist. Ironically, Hoekstra’s birthplace in the Netherlands was liberated from the Nazis by Canadian soldiers eight years before he was born.

You reprehensible little shits of the Conservative Party. Go to hell.

Come to Canada. It’s pretty neat.

There is a line between capitulating and collaborating. Increasingly many companies -- including some that own media -- are falling into that second group. Democracy Docket will never capitulate, collaborate or cooperate with Trump and his cronies. Support pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

The Canadian in me finds this acceptable. I bet it alike ketchup chips. Sounds like an abomination, quite possibly *is* an abomination, but tasty.

Duality of man

The upcoming proposed rules surrounding NSFW art are bad and the Bsky mod team should feel bad. Fellow artists: Remember that even if you don't make NSFW art, rules like these eventually come back to bite us all, especially if we make works about queerness.

Assuming the human mind can keep everything in its working memory as well as a computer is laughable. I absolutely would have a local LLM sift through my Obsidian notes to serve as an aid. It really is like scoffing at someone taking organized notes, like the Zettlekastan method.

Russian jets over Estonia? There’s a very simple solution: Shoot them down.

Um, so, Epstein files?
