Our ballistic missile defense system, however, is stabilizing and good!

Ordinary regular poor people trying to live their lives and raise their children: Can we get a $25k loan from the city to use as a down payment on a home in a nice neighborhood? Governments: Absolutely not Cops making about $75k/yr base: Can we Governments: YES AND YOUR LOAN IS FULLY FORGIVABLE

this is a fair point if the only measure of value is money and we don't care about the shape of our society beyond the dollars we spend

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

joining the "cybertruck owners only" group on fb is one of the best decisions i've ever made. every so often when i'm scrolling through fb getting pissed off, i get to see a little treat like this

Loads of British Columbians who spent all year advocating for the death of people in the Downtown Eastside whenever safe supply or housing comes up are about to sit down with their families to watch A Christmas Carol and shake their head disapprovingly when Scrooge talks about the surplus population

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

passing mention of USAID with no mention that gutting it will result in millions of deaths

He leads a white supremacist fascist regime: he enriches himself through bribery, fraud & theft, his masked gangs invade cities to kidnap people, his military murders, his public health is public eugenics and he has broken law beyond healing This article doesn’t say that www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

“we should release the data of course but instead let’s not,” went on for EIGHTEEN MONTHS while over THREE THOUSAND PEOPLE DIED we were pressing from every angle in the legislature, Sonia and Adam asked. the chief coroner noted it repeatedly how many people are accessing safe supply?

JUST IN: This morning, hundreds of baristas have joined our national ULP strike. ☕ The solidarity is strong: For every one barista on strike, dozens more allies have shown up in force to back our cause. Our strike continues to grow in strength and power! #NoContractNoCoffee

I love how this guy doesn't even have a name, he's literally just *vague relation to a more famous racist guy*

cops are funny cuz they'll be like "score sheet" like it's some scary, exotic thing when they're literally just talking about bookkeeping

I wrote about Yglesias “defending liberalism” by joining a right wing moral panic over critical race theory. His vision of liberalism has room for bigots, but no room for scholars concerned about structural racism.

“the official interpretation of government“ is not a thing !!!! THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM INTERPRETS LAW AND WHAT VIGO CLAIMS IS WHAT HE SAYS his made up role has no legislated authority. this is Because I said so as the state.

"A brief mention of an abusive relationship between a Vancouver police officer and a teen he met at school in a recent police watchdog report shows a need for more transparency around the identities of officers who commit misconduct." #BritishColumbia #Canada #Policing #Education

Gee, I wonder if there's any global event causing these records to break. The story doesn't bother to mention any, so these high temperatures must just be a fluke.

These people want leftist and liberals to come back to Twitter so badly. They give all kinds of reasons, but the fact is without them the Nazi bar marinates in its own juices and they can't stand it.

Alberta Minister of Assisted Living and Social Services Jason Nixon says rising frostbite amputations on his watch are a sign of the system working as intended. Another important frostbite story by @taylorlambert.ca www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Michelle Bryant-Gravelle knew it wouldn’t be an easy journey when she accepted a position at the City of Vancouver as its first senior director of Indigenous relations three years ago. She’s now stepped away from her role, due to a number of incidents at the city over the past year.

Because things suck now and they know that everything will get worse in the future because no one in a position of power has any real interest in making things better.

if i were president i personally would use the christmas reception to talk about eggnog

Dallas Brodie has apparently been removed as leader of far-right splinter party OneBC

something nice I will say about Utah is that it has an official mushroom

Smith finally said it out loud... She doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services. Faith groups should take care of the vulnerable. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

“Assisted suicide plunges Illinoisans with disabilities and other vulnerable people into conversations about death, instead of the care and support they deserve from their medical teams,” Illinois becomes 12th state to provide medically assisted suicide www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

This is a good time to remind people that it took @godfrey.bsky.social 2 hours to point out all the misinformation and inaccuracies in this one hour “documentary” pressprogress.ca/right-wing-g...

lapointe succinctly nails everything that is wrong with the eby approach to OD crisis - expert advice ignored (unless your name rhymes with ego) - govt writes blank cheque for unregulated recovery industry, ignores systemic abuse of patients - calls for nonmedical safe supply rejected out of hand

Remember TEN DAYS AGO when ABC passed their reckless budget, insisting that public opposition was a conspiracy to embarrass them and/or not real

An Act to Add "Unless It's Inconvenient" to Every Clause of DRIPA

the thing about supply and demand is that there's this whole other side to it where when prices come down, new builds also come down. I haven't seen a single economist predict this is actually gonna stick, as project after project gets cancelled

and if the city continues to do nothing, the only reasonable conclusion is that the city approves of drivers killing people on East Hastings St and encourages this

"certain activities..."

If the Premier actually believed his own words he would regulate the drug supply to prevent overdoses www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

they keep comparing this to insulin - but would doctors force an insulin implant/pump onto a patient? because i don't think they would

Yet another reason to get off X: the owner uses it to recruit broodmares for his baby cult.

The Tyee is unrolling its AI policy today. 🤖

this and all the jokes about Elon Musk and ketamine. the willingness of some to throw drug users under the bus to score political points sure is something

Kelowna unemployment swings higher, up to 11%. Now highest in Canada. Even as the Canadian rate drops. www.kelownanow.com/watercooler/... It’s getting close to twice the national average.

there's a certain type of guy — Julian Somers, Daniel Vigo, David Eby — whose work starts off at least somewhat on the right side of history before cynically turning to politics of moral panic the minute they get some semblance of power

plan a is a good case for why landlords should be directly regulated and licensed. at a certain point you've gotta be able to take away someone's ability to be a landlord
