I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

Why yes, I am a millennial

Pretty pleased with the burgers I made for supper (with homemade onion jam!)

Anyone have 490 bucks they can give me?

The victory of progressive candidates is a byproduct of our work caring for one another and building a better world, not the goal of our work.

I guess, more than anything, the fact that Canadian politics run about 5 years behind the US gives me a glimmer of hope that things will turn around by the time I’m in my fifties

Between the budget released by the Carney gov’t yesterday and the results from the elections in the US yesterday, it was a bit of a rollercoaster of a day.

Having had some time to take it all in, it’s still a mixed bag, but I’m letting myself have a little hope as a treat.

genuinely beautiful that new york elected a muslim lefty mayor the same day that dick cheney died

Poilievre says he’d invoke notwithstanding clause to overturn ruling on child porn sentences | CBC News Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says if elected he’d use the notwithstanding clause to overturn Friday’s ruling from the Supreme Court striking down mandatory minimums for accessing or possessing...

I don’t really give a fuck how much you hate CSAM purveyors/possessors (surprise, everyone hates them), mandatory mins are a recipe for disaster in human rights. This is craven opportunism that, coupled with bigoted anti-trans rhetoric, will inevitably be used against marginalized people.

I also think that the federal government shouldn’t have the option. If they want to override Charter rights, they should have to meet the 7/50 threshold

I’m not any kind of constitutional scholar, but I know enough to understand that the clause isn’t going anywhere. I do think it should have a higher threshold. Like requiring a supermajority to invoke.

I don’t normally like to talk about politics on the internet, but the recent use of the Notwithstanding Clause by another conservative provincial government has had me thinking.

The “identity crisis” bullet point is 100% accurate

Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

I’m honestly gobsmacked that said seething misogynists would be reading Dumbing of Age, of all things.

You guys wanna see a dead body

I don’t know how well it’d take. Seems like some cognitive decline has been happening for quite a while.

Beyond that, he was a reasonably well-respected island historian for years.

It’s a shame that he seems to have completely lost his mind over the past 10-15 years or so

With the AWS outage, now‘s as good a time as any to post this old strip.

Also, why’s the top quote tweeted cdnpoli? This has nothing to do with Canada

Seems like a lot of people have forgotten that ACAB is ACAB. Doesn’t matter if they post “friendly” things like this.
Don’t give them an inch. They aren’t pro-protest. They aren’t on your side. They are the state.
It’s the same reason cops shouldn’t be welcome at Pride events.

Absolutely sent this.

One small adjustment to the template, these wouldn’t be concentrating power in the Executive Branch, since they aren’t giving the GG any new powers. I believe they meant “Cabinet”

I’ve heard that nostalgia is the most toxic impulse, but that croissant this morning was definitely a reminder of what I miss about living in Halifax

Back when we were living here and I worked in downtown Halifax, they still had a location in the Historic Properties. It was a payday ritual for me to grab a croissant before work.

I’ve been craving a Two if by Sea croissant for literally years

I keep seeing posts about the new Critical Role campaign. It looks amazing and super ambitious for AP, but I simply can’t with the episode length

I can’t spend more than 15-20 minutes in most thrift stores, even while masking

I don’t have much to add other than I canceled Game Pass back in May due to the BDS Boycott, and I traded in my Series S a few weeks ago for $$ to put toward a Switch 2
