FWIW The UCP push for private healthcare by underfunding public health makes me irate. stateofemergency.ca

Go #Seahawks!

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

anyway. no war. oppose this at every level, in every way, and do not get sucked into these false debates about process. after all, both american parties are currently pro-genocide. america's hegemon *has* to be dismantled if there is to be anything resembling peace in our or future times

Happy Holidays

Democrats would be crazy not to make this comment super-famous tomorrow when the Senate debates health care. Republicans don’t want you to be cared for as a patient when you’re sick. They think of you as a “consumer”—and tough luck if you don’t have the money for the care you need.

After the $100M privatization boondoggle... "...AHS took over provincial laboratory testing and returned Alberta to a fully public model. By December, 2023, patient waiting times were reduced by 76%." The same day as this report is released, UCP announced more privatization.

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

Not to be cliche, But that was the best World Series of my lifetime and I think The Blue Jays Should be proud And I'm happy to have been able to watch it.

That was fun. @edmontonoilers.bsky.social

I don't care what they say about pot and booze.

#Oilers Not challenging the 2nd #Kings goal is as bad as the challenging last game. Inexcusable.

Enjoying the hue.

Replacing waking up with NYT games with adjusting the volume on the old clock radio. Chucklefuckery to put the volume and (incredibly finicky) tuning dial next to one another.

worth repeating

(cards to make to avoid conversation with fellow pub regular) Card: 1. "Forget about labels, individual or state. At some point, there has to be principle if not moral." 2. "I like to think of each soul as a spark or glimmer of light. Some are brighter, but they all make up a more wondrous whole."

As an objective party i believe this is the best way to use the site

The waves of awful, the Broligarchy, the Heritage foundation, Maga, Trump, etc. feels like a tsunami. I hope it is more akin to the corpse flower that in it's flowering is too odorous to be ignored. And that it doesn't last. I don't think it will last, but will it be gone before it's too late?

I am convinced that the normalization of fascism in people’s minds is already happening and an enormous danger. Some people in denial, but I think more people will simply just accept it as how things are. At some point, we just get used to the temperature in the pool. Which is what they want.

Fundamental to Twain’s understanding of democracy is that nobody wants to hold high office except thieves, swindlers, & autocrats, & the way elections minimize the corrupt exercise of government is not by empowering noble men, but by making the crooks compete with one another in perpetuity.

Just stumbled on an old photoshop thing I did for some reason.

A statement from The Onion about InfoWars.

@nhlscores.bsky.social the call was a highstick, every subsequent is irrelevant (in that circumstance)

IMO it's less useful to ask "is it uncivil to fail to mourn the singular homicide of a degrees-removed instigator of mass homicide" and more useful to ask "what system exists that enables a person to commit mass, degrees-removed homicide while enriching themselves on same"

I do not have faith in Canada’s chances in the 4 nations cup. U.S. looks really really strong. But it will it be fun to watch #97 with a talented team!

Hello caller. I'm listening.

I think we should be vehemently, ceaselessly arguing for a cruelty meter set at zero.

leak the fucking report, you all have 473 reporters on speed dial, stop playing by rules nobody cares about and embarrass these people by any means necessary

I want to remember the from:me I'm often losing me.

Gonna be focusing on listening to folks who are thinking of and creating solutions. I spent way too much time trying to convince people things are bad instead of focusing on how to build since 2016, and I have no desire to repeat that.

The mendacity of record. It's expected, but so utterly insulting. All the deceit that's fit to print.
