Anyone unclear about this should read Jody Wilson-Raybould's True Reconciliation. It's almost entirely primary resources, and lays out how harmful it has been to everyone to keep delaying these decisions.

I dunno, I don't believe Piers Morgan's lil cat's arse mouth pronouncing the death of 'woke' is going to change the course of history.

The overt reading of this is capitalism is cooked. (And that's true.)

But the more salient is, capitalism is crooked.

Come the apocalypse, when everyone's phones are dead, I'm still gonna be able to spell out 'boobs' on my cute calculator, to give everyone a lift.

A plastic jewel-toned mini-calculator spelling 'boobs' because I am juvenile.

Today in 'omg why is everything so much shit-er now': I usually use my phone calculator for quick stuff, but today I had to do some more advanced stuff, so I pulled out this jewel-tone gem my mum gave me 30 yrs ago. Lads, the battery still works. We have got to ask why things now are so shit!

How cool! Absolutely tremendous program, the likes of which we are so very much in need of now.

a man was just found not guilty by jury lollification

It's grotesque

guy said, “Do you like Marx?” I said, “I haven’t met him.” Guy said, “No, no, he’s dead.” “Wow, what happened?” “No, no, he died long ago.” I thought the guy Marx had just died. So then, “Why are you asking me if he died long ago?” “No, he wrote a lot. He wrote that poor people should not be poor.” I said, “Sounds amazing.” I’m giving you a sense of how naïve I was. After they left, I went to the library to look for Marx. So that was my introduction to Karl Marx. BS: The FBI. MM: The FBI. Then, of course, I took a class on Marx. Couldn’t just get Marx out of the library. But,

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

If one thought one couldn't dislike Starmer more...

It is so utterly mind-boggling how everyone is ignoring the gargantuan elephant in the room. Guys. Guys. Lads!

The lad Mamdani seems proper good, honestly

Imploring the @ndp.ca to listen. This is truth. Take a look at NYC.

I just really do want to point out that Ken Sim, the most appallingly try-hard politician of all time, explicitly modelled himself on Eric Adams, the most corrupt, useless, and most hated mayor perhaps ever. Nice choice, Ken!

🎵Hey Ken Sim, watcha gonna do/ Watcha gonna do now your god fell through🎵

First time in such a long, long time I've experienced hope. G'wan, Zohran, do us proud.

Honestly... this was an absolute barnstormer of a speech. Opening with Eugene Debs, peppering in arabic words... Saying out loud all the things that need to be said about the billionaire-funded political machine.. Masterclass.

🙀 Oh, Ken Sim! Omg. Your swag-daddy got run out of town (because literally everyone hates him) and a BROWN SOCIALIST ate his cake!!! Watcha gonna do, fake Adams?

Does Trump want to do the job of being President? Of course not, you fkn rubes! Does Ken Sim want to do the job of mayor? Lmfao, losers! It's an enrichment platform. Thassit.

There is an alternative. Elect people like Sean Orr and Lucy Maloney who, like Zohran, actually want to do things.

The greatest thing I've heard about Mamdani (and I apologise, bc I can't remember from whom) is, he actually wants to do the job he's running for. It's so refreshing.

[to the tune of the Mikel Merino song] Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-a-oh ohhh, Zohran Mamdaaaani 🎵

The most important lesson, and not a minute too soon.

Alhamdulillah!

Honestly, signing of the season. Pleased for him!

Holy fuck, 100%

Pum-kitty & Pug-kin!

Happy Halloween from my friend's lil BatPug, Po!

This juxtaposition is so striking, and seems really significant in this moment.
