Primary them all

As ever, the way to make billions is just assume that tail end risks are somebody else’s problem

Teeny orange #toadlet found in #Brazil. A unique mating call led biologists to this newly discovered pint-sized #amphibian. #frog Link for more photos and information of this 1 cm long beauty: www.popsci.com/environment/...

In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.

Vote Trump, vote Bronze Age

Not win win

AI is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Drawing the same conclusions as everyone else here as to the rigor standards and urgency of executive work

This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result. www.yesigiveafig.com/p/part-1-my-...

That’s a hell of a punchline.😂

Imagine if tech companies had made a wild capex bet on chasing clean energy, instead of inventing a plagiarism machine powered by **checks notes** extending the life of coal plants

📢 For the first time in over a decade, Canada has been shamed at #COP30 as the “Fossil of the Day” — the most dishonourable award given during COPs to the countries “who are the best at being the worst and doing the most to do the least.” Read our press release: shorturl.at/hSGvm

This had better not be Canadian govt workers using some Canary Mission/ADL/Likud enemies list

Reinstate Sarah Kendzior

Speaking as a Canadian, not wanting to talk to Kevin O’Leary does not distinguish Zohran from tens of millions

Instead of investing in wind and solar to bring down energy prices, Doug Ford is paying for his hatred of renewables with our taxes.

I want a way to get folks who claim to believe that ZM is a raging antisemitic jihadist to bet real money of their own on some factual claims about what will happen over the next few years. Separate the bullshitting bullies from the genuinely deranged, & get rich.

Ugh

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

An embarrassingly obvious point, but... This. Is. Illegal. If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed. In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists. www.cnn.com/2025/10/25/b...

This seems important. #ClimateCrisis #drought #cdnpoli #bcpoli #abpoli #saskpoli #mbpoli #onpoli #nbpoli #nspoli #nfld #nwt

As usual, Pritzker saying the thing that needs saying

Pay the middle price now

Well, it’s probably true that the crowd was exceptionally dense

if you’re an isolated, angsty, strange young man, please know that you can become a Kierkegaard scholar instead of joining fringe online communities

Doug Ford only identifies with three kinds of voter: developers, people who can’t stand to sober up, and people who insist on their right to speed and refuse to pay their tickets

The more rightwing candidates the better imho

on this day in 1947, Canadian chocolate bar companies raised the price from 5 to 8 cents and kids across the nation launched a massive strike, blocked traffic with protests, and even stormed a government building. the movement fizzled due to accusations of communist ties

I think he must think Poilievre would be a quisling for him (which, in fairness, he’s so far shown no signs of being), but also can’t remember his name?

Thudding my head against my desk at the eternal, invincible, heroic refusal of Canadians to grasp what actual strategic voting would be. /thud

People keep saying this but see @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social. ‘Deportation’ is the standard term for the Nazis’ sending innocent Jewish citizens of Germany, France etc. to concentration camps in nominally distinct jurisdictions. Not a totally irrelevant parallel to El Salvador.

I want the Ontario Cons and the PCP to end up so committed to destroying each other that the whole party ends up like the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, a decades long no-go zone where nature can heal

Like what the Saudis did with Khashoggi

In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD

This is because Trump hasn’t raved about annexation for a few weeks now. And because people are idiots.

My deeply Catholic mother said to me today, "On Easter our dear lord died beside two criminals. The Pope had to sit with J. D. Vance in his final hours." Burn.

Excruciating but cheering to watch the Dems, Harvard etc figure out how to deal with bullies in real time, like watching the computer in WarGames cycle through all the simulations with ten seconds to go “The only way to win is not to play!”

ALERT #Liberals in Elizabeth May’s riding need to vote for her She is in a close race with a #conservative . Liberal candidate is trailing.

Come on. Journalists can be impassioned and advocate, nobody minds. That’s not what Rebel is — they’re a partisan pressure group, *legally registered* as such. You might as well give a question to whoever runs the LPC website.

Our administration will stand for two things: Fighting antisemitism and stopping the Soros-funded, Hollywood-controlling, migration-orchestrating, well-poisoning, global banking cabal of rootless cosmopolitans from destroying our Christian way of life. by J.D. Vance

I wonder if at some point Harvard and Yale Law will reconsider their longstanding DEI admissions for rightwing hacks and grifters

At last!

The Cons hate Canadian democracy, part bazillion

The ‘Fuck You and Fuck Any Attempt to Fix Anything Party’, with made up statistics as usual, all in on betting the ordinary voter is a resentful selfish moron. I’m not a Carney fan, but nothing is more important this election than kicking this guy and his pals to the curb.

Politicians like Ford benefit from a kind of duck-rabbit effect: in any given decision it’s hard to tell whether he’s being corrupt or a cretin, so people feel underconfident about applying either label when both are clearly correct

Ford insists dubious Therme Spa project met all the necessary bribes

Take some Canadians too plz

State-enforced DEI quota hiring for rightwingers, across every discipline. Thank god they are so greedy and so very very stupid, a subtler approach would probably have worked.

Dreaming of a Canadian economy built around Ferrero Rocher

He’s keeping his trap shut til the Canadian election is over, unfortunately. It would be very interesting to know who the grownup is who persuaded him to do it.
