Canadian PM Mark Carney: “Canada and the United States have built a remarkable partnership in the economy, in security, and in rich cultural exchange. “But Canada doesn’t live because of the United States. Canada thrives because we are Canadian.”

Oh look, all the same Dems that voted for criminal bans on gender affirming care and medicaid coverage bans voted for the ICE gestapo funding.

I don’t know who this Minnesota man is, but he absolutely speaks for me.

ok stay with me on this one... sometimes you have writer's block because you're not in Text World. you have to read until you're back in Text World. if you don't read, you're writing in the real world. sentences won't feel right or they'll look goofy. not in Text World though

Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.

my dozens of dogshit abandoned google doc drafts from years ago coming together in a single decent draft

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Congress must immediately act to impeach & imprison Donald Trump. And if they fail to do so, the rest of the world should punish the USA just as heavily as was done to Russia for attacking Ukraine. We should not get to kidnap heads of state & "run" sovereign countries like vassals.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

What was the last TV show or movie you watched in 2025?

Remember how I said I have it written into my foreign-language contracts that my work has to be translated by an actual human? This shit is why. Those book translations are gonna suck. They'll save money putting out books that are going to be painful to read. That's not a great long-term strategy.

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true

A review does not have to be long or sophisticated either! Just say you liked it, or something you liked about it! One of the best reviews of all time was that one-liner on ye olde Twitter from *checks notes* bigolas dickolas It does matter, it does help.

Requiring temporary visitors to surrender five years of social media to the U.S. sends the message that the American commitment to free speech is pretense. This simply is not the behavior of a country confident in its freedoms. It's a threat to free speech around the world and must be opposed.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Joint Statement of the Acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Netflix.

incredible quote lol

if you do enough tasks maybe when you die you will be able to look back on it all and say "i sure did a good job working"

Because women who weren't Princess Leia spoke a total of 63 seconds in the first three Star Wars films. Because women couldn't serve on juries in all 50 states until 1968. Because the president is a rapist.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

An area that allows you to play just a little bit to remember the controls for when you put a game down and pick it up again months later. Also a short summary of what you’ve done so far.

HE'S APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STARVE AMERICANS

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Don’t forget that the sandwich guy was released at the scene and then re-arrested in a raid by a full tactical team. They were willing to kill him and and any neighbors in the way to get propaganda footage of the “arrest”.

Speak plainly. Organize. Show up. After their worst-ever results in the 2025 federal election, here’s what the NDP can learn from Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign in New York City — which he officially won last night. From July 2025. #canpoli #uspoli #ZohranMamdani

look there is nothing funnier than rediscovering placeholder dialogue

This is what I love about being a book critic. I read 2 books recently that were uncomfortable experiences. Digging into why I felt that way and what the author might be trying to do helped me come to a better understanding of each.

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

what is wrong with me

‘Biography is on a march, always, to the final page. It is the thing wrong with 𝘉𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘓𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 – that it casts her death back through her life, sows it through vivacity, makes it inevitable.’ @tricialockwood.bsky.social on Sylvia Plath: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

"I Know What You Did Last Summer" is the most distinctly American horror premise, "what if there were consequences for running a pedestrian over"
