Fascinating how it’s always the fault of alienated voters and never the fault of those who knowingly and needlessly alienated them.

The very latest I’d put the line is in 2020

If he loses the NYC election he’ll ask a Texas mayor to resign so he can run there?

His special about Vegas gambling is fascinating and also utterly devastating

Louis Théroux has a really interesting history of documentaries but I didn’t know he did one (or rather, now that I look it up, two) in Israel

Fun fact: When I was googling “New York Times Chinese women small hands” (which is a deeply cursed sentence opener) to find the article alluded to, several of the results were straight up racist shit from the early 20th century digitized on NYT’s Time Machine

Clearly they haven’t changed much

Vancouver council is debating a giant permanent sign that says "VANCOUVER", and staff say an issue is putting the sign in a place that won't interfere with film shoots.

In other words, a giant "VANCOUVER" sign could interfere with vancouver's lucrative business of pretending to be any other city

I initially misread this as there being only one human in history that produced a single Taylor Swift which is also, in fact, true

It’s akin to when a unilingual airport worker in Western Canada greets someone with “hello bonjour”: a nod in the right direction but very very insufficient as a sole action to comply with obligations

Luigi didn’t take any lives what are you talking about

He has absolutely been framed

The irony of Casey Neistat of all people would prefer to die “before all this internet bullshit” is incredibly rich

His entire career was made online; he was a high school dropout doing kitchen work before he got famous for his online media content

I was always amused when I’d be flying whatever budget airline and customs would ask if I’m carrying more than $10k in cash in or out

I know why they have to ask, but if I was carrying $10k do you really think I’d be flying in Alaska Airlines economy

A map shows the flight routes travelled by a package. Originating at PAE (Everett Washington USA), the package travels to OAK (Oakland California USA), MEM (Memphis Tennessee USA), and YVR (Vancouver BC Canada) before ending in YLW (Kelowna BC Canada).

I think often of the path my Boeing Plushie took to get to me a few years back

7442km trip for what would be 312km direct

An edited screenshot of an Acyn (@Acyn) tweet with a video of a Trump interview. The text of the tweet as edited reads: “Trump on group chats: I don’t think a beautiful trans girl that’s 11m on E needs to have 30 dolls. They can have three dolls or four dolls”

Please enjoy my #trans brainrot meme

Washington a tenté de s’immiscer dans les soins trans du Canada – Pivot Une manœuvre politique des États-Unis aurait pu intimider des médecins offrant des soins d’affirmation de genre au Canada.

«Si c’était n’importe quel autre groupe visé, on serait présentement en moment de scandale national. Mais vu que les personnes trans, dont les jeunes trans, sont vues comme jetables, notre société décide d’ignorer le tout. Quand est-ce qu’on va agir?»

Really the only mistake is overbuying and yeah it’s one that’s possible to make but also not inevitable

I live in a studio and I get value out of my membership on prescriptions and discounted gift cards alone (plus the restaurant of course)

Get Out the Midterm Vote’s post that this post is a reply to, followed by an unrelated post from “strange ranger” @lithiumsucks.bsky.social: “Nothing had changed except everything that mattered.”

A “fun” juxtaposition on my timeline

I have my doubts about this

Kelowna hasn’t moved in hours

CBC IS PROJECTING THAT PIERRE POILIEVRE WILL LOSE HIS CARLETON SEAT

TBH with his staff’s… less than terrific understanding of foreign domestic politics, it’s probably a good thing it wasn’t

Elbows up!

Luigi Mangione's attorney Karen Agnifilo said during a hearing that the Manhattan DA's office informed her that someone listened to an attorney-client call — but it was "inadvertent." "We were just informed by state court prosecutors that they were eavesdropping on all of Mr. Mangione’s calls."

Prosecutors have been illegally eavesdropping on Luigi Mangione’s calls with his attorney.

Vote, for the sake of our futures • Celeste Trianon A message for my readers: whether you think your vote will make a difference or no, vote like your life depend on it — because it does.

"We shouldn’t live in a society in which every election — and the times preceding it — are times filled with uncertainty and fear, yet that’s exactly what it’s like to be a trans woman in Canada in 2025. [...]

So please — don’t Trump Canada."

Don't forget to vote.

I still remember when I was visiting Paris I correctly figured that a particular person there was a bunch of press for outside the Foreign Affairs building must be American government “because what other idiot would drive around Paris in a fleet of SUVs”

(It was John Kerry as Sec of State in 2016)

A shame; you’ll miss the next Habs game! Well enjoy your time here anyhow

Bienvenue to our wonderful city! Are you here long?

If you already have a passport you can use that as ID

Insert meme about the dolphin jelly here

I always opted out at the border and the TSA back when I travelled to the U.S. just because it was clearly what the system didn’t want you to do and I enjoy being annoying to cops and wannabe cops
