The Gender Politics of Abandoning Your Girlfriend on a Mountain
YouTube video by Rebecca Watson (Skepchick) The Gender Politics of Abandoning Your Girlfriend on a Mountain

"Man convicted of manslaughter after girlfriend dies hiking in winter storm" sounds insane until you get into the details.

He put an inexperienced hiker into harm's way despite explicit warnings and waved away numerous attempts to rescue her! The punishment was too lax here, not too severe.

are you allowed to do one big blur or is it a bunch of dildo-sized ones? (either way, condolences)

Sorry, gonna be reposting this one a bit. TLDR: found out my dog has cancer in the process of figuring out the source of her limp and it's going to cost me somewhere in the vicinity of $5-6k to take care of both presuming that she does not need chemo too. So yeah, I need help if possible.

comedy is legal again
YouTube video by Cinema Survivors comedy is legal again

Two original IP's are currently taking over the world (Heated Rivalry) and the original comedy 'Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie'.

They seem like near impossible pieces of media in a corporate structure but they were actually made with public funds!

So uh, a new war’s going to make food and power more affordable again, right? It’ll fix the overburdened healthcare system, provide childcare for working parents, and find homes for low income families, won’t it? Won’t it!?

What do you mean it won’t? What do you mean it’s not what we’ve all needed?

Office of the Prime Minister

Statement by Prime Minister Carney and
Minister Anand on the situation in the Middle East
"The Canadian government is closely following Iran-related hostilities throughout the Middle East and urges all Canadians in Iran to shelter in place. Canadians in the wider region should follow local advice and take all necessary precautions.
Canada's position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world's worst human rights records, and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons.
Canada and our international partners have consistently called upon the Iranian regime to end its nuclear program, including at the 2025 G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis and with the United Nations' reimposition of sanctions in September.
Despite diplomatic efforts, Iran has neither fully dismantled its nuclear program, halted all enrichment activities, nor ended its support for regional terrorist proxy groups. Canada stands with the Iranian people in their long and courageous struggle against Iran's oppressive regime. Canada has listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity, and has sanctioned 256 Iranian entities and 222 individuals in response to the regime's repression and its violence both against its own people, and persistently, beyond its borders. Canada reaffirms Israel's right to defend itself and to ensure the security of its people.
Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.
The Canadian government urges the protection of all civilians in this conflict. We will take all possible measures to protect our nationals and Canadian diplomatic missions throughout the region."

Well. For those of us wondering if he’d walk the walk of the Davos speech, this is a pretty big answer.

Nope.

Oh absolutely on Lightfoot. And it's the Sloan, actually! But the Cockburn is great too (and this quiz got me thinking about "Call It Democracy," "If I Had a Rocket Launcher," and "If a Tree Falls" again)
