Spring morning Northern Ontario.

Every single character of this.

It can both?

“…the interview gave me additional grounds to lament the cognitive capture of the Canadian left by American progressivism, which I really don’t understand, because American progressives are bunch of losers who can’t figure out how win an election against even manifestly insane opponents.” Jos. Heath

what is the expression which the age demands? the age demands no expression whatever. we have seen photographs of bereaved asian mothers. we are not interested in the agony of your fumbled organs. there is nothing you can show on your face that can match the horror of this time. do not even try.

US OFFICIAL: THE PENTAGON IS EXPLORING OPTIONS TO PUNISH NATO MEMBERS WHO DID NOT SUPPORT US OPERATIONS AGAINST IRAN: REUTERS

It all makes a lot more sense if you see C3P0 as being Anakin’s first victim in a relationship of coercion and control.

Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

So guess it’s safe to say we’re well into the Jackpot now.

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

i love you, you CAN get on the phone you Can send an email you CAN leave a message. i believe in you. i believe in your ability to channel your anguish and fury into two sentences directed at your representatives whether you voted for them or not

If you folks don’t get a million people out in the streets of DC tomorrow screaming for Trump’s impeachment, who are willing to stay out in the streets until he’s frogmarched out of the White House, the world will never forgive you.

Taking care of business. We need to do this and move on.

Wife just told me this one: What’s the difference between Iran and Vietnam? Trump had a plan to get out of Vietnam.

US loses World Baseball Classic bet, has to give Venezula their oil back

I was a commissioner with the Calgary Police Commission for 4 years, starting in 2020. I sat in hundreds of hours of meetings. In these oversight and governance meetings, I asked questions to police officers. They would often lie in their responses to me, as a regular practice. 1/

You know, seeing the utter shit show going on in the Gulf, I’m a lot less worried about US invasion of Canada than I was a month ago.

My husband and I talked about this last night... For most of recent US history, Democratic and Republican administration's were fairly aligned on foreign policy, more so than on domestic policy. Why?

Ukraine did not begin in 1991. And this war did not begin in 2022. This 1-minute video runs from Kyivan Rus through empire, Soviet rule, and independence to one simple truth: Russia keeps trying to deny Ukraine the right to exist, and Ukraine keeps refusing to disappear.

SAY EMANENTIZE THE ESCHATON ONE MORE TIME

the price of oil surging means you can burn your shein clothes, extract the oil, and make more money than you paid

i dont mean to make anyones knees hurt or anything. but i have a question i got my hands on some cassettes! now how do i use this thing.

For the record, no country on the fucking planet has as its core tenets "sexual assault and child murder." If you believe otherwise, you are a bigot, and you are regurgitating the ethos of the Protocols. Fix yourselves, or go join your natural fellow travelers.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

BROOKLYN ICE IN CLINTON HILL NYPD ASSISTING LET PEOPLE KNOW

In honour of the day. youtu.be/OQvDRe79F8k?...

There we go.

Oh dear.

So I’m listening to the pre-show for the gold medal hockey game and the commentators are talking about the prospective fight matchups. Think this is going to be a rough game.

I was thinking vi(m)/emacs.

once again these things boil down to “is your group a bohemian cultural identity” or “is your group actually trying to do things?” and the key tell is whether your activity centers on policing of in-group behavior or whether it centers on, again, tangible goals

At this point, who started the war is irrelevant, even ignoring the fact that it was the British who set things up in such a way as to make war all but inevitable. Between Hamas and Likud we have two governments who each have played on the very legitimate fears of their own people to justify

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

My first contribution to #coffeewithhunter; a light-medium roast from a St. Thomas, Ontario roaster. Our local book store/coffee shop has been buying from this roaster for 25 or so years.

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

Conservative party of Canada votes to axe the tax, build the homes, lose all the future elections

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's Saturday. Again, every time someone says "Trump can't do that" the only serious response is "Yes, he can, until Congress removes him"

BREAKING: The Senate just blocked a bill that would have renewed ICE's budget without real, enforceable changes. This is a direct result of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation demanding that our Senators vote no.

In a world heavy with sorrow, we hunger for what sustains us: joy like bread, hope like water, kindness like shelter. Each act of compassion becomes a small rebellion against despair—a deliberate choice to build bridges where others erect walls.

A warrior is not defined by the fights they have won, but by what they fight for. Stand for those less privileged, stand for the powerless, stand with your neighbors, stand for those who will come after you. Stand for honor, or you stand for nothing at all, and are worth even less.

Not sure if Bloomberg has carried this yet but see below @peark.es

So, uh, this happened. Up to 49,000 Chinese EVs to be let in at a 6.1% tariff rate. I guess if you’re Mark Carney, when Trump tells you CUSMA is irrelevant, you believe him. apple.news/AZq2xXpfzSze...
