New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..." Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

The playbook for Doug Ford (Ontario) and Danielle Smith (Alberta)….and really, every Conservative government.

If the sky That we look upon Should tumble and fall Or the mountains Should crumble to the sea I won't cry I won't cry No I won't shed a tear Just as long As you stand Stand by me Rob Reiner, 1947-2025 A heartbreaking, devastating loss. 💔🕯️🕊️

This! I was just complaining that all shows about detectives now have to have asshole detectives who we're supposed to 'understand' and 'forgive' because they're mourning, or avenging, or trying to turn over a new leaf but are 'brilliant'. Can't they just solve a fucking crime?

It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

Support real journalism.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

About f***ing time! Basically, take the entire Tea Party playbook and just flip the agenda. It works. Why did it take the Dems so long to do it? For decades they've acted as if local politics were beneath them.

Wins 2025 hands down

This is funny if you are an aficionado of McSweeneys and the New Yorker. In other words - according to many - insufferable. But I am, I guess. It’s hilarious.

Daily Show for the win.

Penzeys rocks! Bill Penzeys is a national treasure. He decided during 45 to wear his politics on his sleeve but not in a corporate performative way. In a “I’m a citizen and this is the best way to fight this threat” kinda way. Now, with 47, he’s peddle to the metal.

And this, in a nutshell, is why the Carney-Smith MOU is political theatre. There won't be another pipeline because its proponents will never recoup the expense of building it. Its whole purpose is so she can appease her Maple MAGA base and 'own BC'.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

The deranged madman now threatens to blow up commercial airliners flying in and out of Venezuela.

Everyone should be supporting the journalism and public service of @lataco.bsky.social. This list is heartbreaking. But at least there are people standing witness.

Ok - what?!? How on earth can Joni Mitchell not already have a lifetime achievement Juno award? [checks fine print] There have only been 3 recipients!?!?! WTF? Way to keep it exclusive, Junos. No worry that someone undeserving is gonna sneak in.

Word.

Kudos to Black Fox! The best whisky in the world in 2025 comes from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Yes. This is the sad, nasty, delusional and hateful woman she is.

Can't wait for AC weather.

The 🇺🇸 American satirical black comedy film “THE PRODUCERS” written and directed by Mel Brooks and starring Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder, Dick Shawn, Kenneth Mars, Estelle Winwood and Christopher Hewett premiered #OnThisDay in 1967 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 🎬 Embassy Pictures

The post-clinic volunteering taco spot didn’t have its door locked or anyone watching out for la migra so nature is truly healing.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

We are approaching Government Dementia.

Could someone point out the 'ceasefire' in Gaza? I'm looking but I don't seem to be able to locate it.

Evil weasels! And, if you turn it off, you lose the categorization of primary, promotions, etc. Even spellcheck. Again, mfing weasels.

This is a huge deal. DHS has lied about this Chicago incident every step of the way and now all charges have been thrown out. It’s a reminder that you should not trust what the out of control border agents say about anything.

It's almost as if training, expertise and experience are necessary in order to be good at your job. In fact–stay with me on this one, I know it sounds crazy–randomly doling out appointments to opportunistic sycophants might be lowering the quality of their performance.

Brilliant!

Live shot: Mike Johnson on his way to deliver the Epstein bill to the Senate…

Oh no. If the AI bubble bursts, what will we do for all our favourite… er… all our… you know… the stuff we love and er… no. Carry on. As you were.

Can the next please dear God can the next interviewer ask MTG about oh I don’t know January 6th etc before we keep pretending she found politics Jesus

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

If you have a few spare hours...or days. But you'll feel the need to take a long shower afterwards.

Political journalism, and the elite tier of journalism generally, got taken over by billionaire courtiers, conservative activists and sex-pest dipshits and those three groups have largely hounded the real reporters out of the profession as a matter of class self-interest.

This encapsulates the insanity of American late stage kleptocapitalism. And it's been so normalized that this doesn't even seem that weird. Of course you have to pay to file. Doesn't everyone, everywhere?

Pretty much sums it up.

It’s a cliché at this point how eerily relevant Orwell’s dystopian fiction is to our era, but don’t sleep on his (humblingly voluminous!) essays and columns.

I'm just amazed the Bezos Post reported this.

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

This is amusing & it’s also to his credit that he didn’t trot out these old high school yearbook photos of his membership in the Judaic Culture club to try to respond to the attack from Cuomo etc.

sadly, it cuts off before any painted tunnels, anvils, or dynamite come into play
