Former Switchman/Brakeman/Conductor now with a desk job and normal hours. Snark mixed with dog, drink, and cigar pics.
A tweet from J.J. Abbott (@jjabbott) says: “Narrator: He did not fight.” It quotes a 2022 tweet from John Fetterman (@JohnFetterman) that reads: “Health care is a basic, fundamental human right. I will fight for health care like the health care that saved my life. #PASenateDebate.”
In terms of big disappointments, he gets honorable Manchin.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot as we enter into this “nation-building” phase of Canada’s civic life. “Nation-building” is essentially code for staples development, which has its place, but did not “make” Canada. This iteration seems like it will really just enrich the already wealthy. #cdnpoli

Ksi Lisims LNG is no "nation-building project". & it's not Indigenous-owned. It's a Trojan Horse for the same Wall Street private equity giants buying up 🇨🇦 real estate, telecoms & energy infrastructure.

This is what the Canadian government should be looking at, rather than having civil servants become ersatz soldiers: Form a cohesive civil defence force made up of regular Canadians.

Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.
Every single time.
Yet again, nothing but promises ... "It's just starting".
It's *always* just starting, isn't it?
A day after the Dem capitulation, @bsky.app suspends sarahkendzior.substack.com. Journalist, author of 4 books, critic of the ownership class in America. Fuck.
Why? Because she is critical of the ruling class and brings receipts?
#sarahkendzior
Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

My 5 year old white and tan rough-coat Saint Bernard, Benny. He’s on his hind legs with his front paws on the patio table eating snow. The snow from the tabletop is his favouritest, it seems.
Benny is enjoying ‘eat snow off the patio table’ season so far. 😂

Philanthropy will never be a replacement for the services that the government can and should provide. Which is why we should tax the shit out of wealthy people to pay for such services.

It's a self checkout world. Until you pick something that has a "cashier will apply discount at checkout" sticker, and you need the one over-worked cashier to check you out anyway.
