“what radicalized you” idk paying attention

Two panel comic in black and white. In the first panel, a bunny sits in the grass, surrounded by sparkles and flowers, on a white background. The second panel zooms in on the bunny's face and the background is black, with white text handwritten in all caps on it: "TOUCHING GRASS ISN'T ENOUGH, I NEED MONEY" Signature: SLEEPIMALI (and the year the comic was made, 2023)

Reposting with alt text since this is going around again!

Was asked by a boomer last night why I was so cynical.

It's only cynicism, I told her, if it's not actually happening.

Otherwise it's just paying attention.

If the rule you live by is, "I don't want to hear anything but unfounded optimism," it is little wonder the world is in the state it is.

Well, they did already make one in 2018.

And just like that, it was September.

This summer’s garden pests have included (and continue to include): aphids, spider mites, mushrooms, and wasps. I really wasn’t expecting this much commotion on a high rise building balcony. Surely, powdery mildew is just around the corner, along with stink bugs.

Pierre Poilievre responds to news a nurse was fined for being virulently transphobic with the following: A nurse with a spotless track record gets fined and suspended for pointing out there are two genders, and for praising world renowned author & women's rights advocate @jk rowling. This is authoritarian censorship. We must restore free speech and free thinking in a free country.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre comes wants to make sure everyone knows he's a full blown transphobe, in case there was any doubt.

He even included a shout out to JK Rowling. This hate should be disqualifying from any politician.

"women's rights advocate" go fuck yourself

However, as per the article:

Rene said he’s not angry at striking flight attendants, adding: “I studied labor relations and employment relations. I understand what’s happening.”

He just wishes Air Canada was doing more for impacted passengers.

The Canadian Company Staffing ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ | The Tyee Carney’s government awarded GardaWorld millions in contracts and isn’t ruling out more.

Experts have called ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ a concentration camp. The Canadian company GardaWorld is helping to staff it. In a reported column for @thetyee.ca, @rachelgilmore.bsky.social reveals the company has received millions in Cnd government contracts this year. #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

The next time you hear conservatives use any of the following terms, ask for a definition. 

"Woke"
"DEI"
"Critical race theory"
"Socialism" 

They won't have any.

They just want to stoke culture wars to divert attention from economic looting and oligarchy.

Ok, I have a lot of questions - first off:

1: Where?
2: Will Canada defend a sovereign Palestinian state against Israel?
3: Will Israel pay reparations for genocide?
4: Are there going to be enough Palestinians left alive in Gaza by that point to make a government?
5: What about the West Bank?
