I seem to be in a bit of a minority among Trekkies, but I thought Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S3 was an enormously entertaining diversion from all the heinous irl awfulness far more worthy of contempt.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Criminal.

I'm considering selling all of my furniture because Roomba just keeps bumping around passive-agressively like a mindless automaton and it's making me feel sad quite frankly.

We’re basically watching a civil war, but you still have to pay rent, walk your dog, care for your kids, heal your broken heart, go to your appointments, send those emails, and all of it just keeps going. The personal victories and failures still exist, while our government executes people.

Wow, this armed fool is drunk off his ass while doing his cosplay thing.

He's gearing up, folks.

Yep, CBS Face The Nation both-sides-ing what very clearly happened during ICE's murder of Pretti.

Apropos.

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti: We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Saturday morning, January 24, another ICE murder in broad daylight in Minneapolis.

The irony of everyone fawning over how Mark Carney is 'standing up' for Canada is that he is simultaneously eroding the few institutions that actually distinguish the Canadian state from the US, and those which theoretically could be used to shield Canadians from the disaster area to the south.

The biggest challenge Canadians face right now involves the utter disconnect between Carney’s rhetoric and his actual policies. It makes it so difficult to even begin a debate about what actually standing up to the US would look like.

JFC -20 C, -30 C windchill right now. Not enough shelter beds in town.

LOLOL.

Wait...what? There's an opera based on Chabon's The Amazing Adventures Of Kavalier & Clay? Colour me intrigued.

Works for Captain ICE, too, perhaps more so.

"Chode" works for that guy on a number of levels.

A bookend to Mark Carney's WEF address. This call is coming from inside the house.

Was going to call him an evil little spud but I can't bring myself to talk about spuds like that.

Me too!
"You shouldn't shoot me, Johnny. My grandmother shot me once..."

He gave so many opportunities to tell him to go fuck himself yesterday.

AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
How embarrassing to keep showing the world your ass over and over again.

FUCK YOOOOOOOU!

OK..."mechanical issue." 🤞 🤞

Sooo many, but I happen to have just listened to Cult Of Personality by Living Color...irresistible groove.

Something always rubbed me the wrong way about the Lollipop Guild.

He came out very strong, and was clear about the nature of the threat. Still too equivocating on what Canada is willing to do about it imo, particularly in his responses re Peace Board.
