Really bad news…

Today a jury in Prairieland, TX will decide if the state can imprison people for their beliefs, if the state can criminalize ideas it dislikes, if the state can treat anarchists like terrorists. It's a horrifyingly consequential pivot point in our descent into authoritarianism.

Oh no.

Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die was real bad and inane lmfao.

It’s like all satire now is made by dudes too far removed from reality to begin with to have anything to say…

they're not even trying to pretend the takeover of CNN will be anything but a project to turn it into another propaganda network

the next Dem president needs to put every screw they can to Oracle and Paramount and the entire Ellison empire, it's vulnerable and debt-laden and can be destroyed

This is crucially important point.

1) "No quarter" is indeed specifically war-crime term

2) Under Geneva Conventions, after sinking an enemy ship, the attackers must "take all positive measures" to find and rescue any survivors. Text in next post

No evidence US sub did so after attack, AFAIK

Do more guys understand now why we were all like "we're kinda suspicious of men who randomly think about the Roman empire a lot"

Ontario to introduce bill exempting Premier, cabinet from FOI requests Government’s proposed changes follow its loss of court battle over call logs for Ford’s personal cellphone

I am begging my fellow Canadians to take a break for a second from obsessing about American corruption to focus on our home grown versions.

Ford is a corrupt crony goon who has done countless shady backroom deals. He wants to remove one of our most powerful tools to hold him accountable. Fuck that!

They spend all their time listening to podcasts and seminars about "all problems have solutions, so anyone saying 'that's impossible' has a loser mindset" and convincing each other they are part of an anointed caste of generational geniuses

I know it’s tempting to think that original recipe Nazis weren’t this foolish, but they absolutely were. Concentration camps used poison gas because they didn’t have bullets to spare.

I’m sorry.

I woke up and the first thing I saw was an American quoting Eisenhower to denounce the attack on Iran.

Eisenhower.

I need you to understand that presidential speeches are not foreign policy. America always forgets its crimes and imperialist legacy, it only remembers the propaganda.

Before 9/11, the Canadian media diet was significantly more Canadian, tbqh, and then it became gauche to make fun of Americans.

But given the benefit of hindsight, I think we can definitively agree that Red Green was superior to Tim Allen in every conceivable way.

For forty years, every time I travel, I have watched expressions change from tension to total relief when you say “I’m Canadian”. I’ve literally been told “OH! That’s why you’re smart!” Or “that’s why you’re nice!” People don’t feel safe around Americans, no where I’ve ever been.

Like, my white snowbird parents with an Ontario license plate were told by a total stranger, while having beer on a restaurant patio with their dog, that they should be grateful if America takes over.

What are we supposed to do with that kind of aggression? Pretend it doesn’t exist?

I don’t want to punish the electorate, killing civilians is unacceptable, but I don’t trust in the goodwill of Americans anymore. I have always known, living in close proximity and visiting the states often, that they didn’t really respect foreigners, but that’s turned to total flippant entitlement.

I get yelled at every day by Americans who tell me this isn’t their responsibility, so we’ve blown past this tbh.

If Trump bombs Canada tomorrow, I’ll have to watch Hakeem Jeffries say shit like “he should have asked first!” Like we’re not people at all, we’re just hypothetical.

Descending from a family who emigrated to escape fascism, to a country that decides to embrace fascism is just fucking crazy making every day.

I’m tired of explaining to people that the goal of this tech is to de-skill you, and the best possible thing you can do is not fucking use it, as strenuously as I would also encourage you to not start recreationally taking fentanyl!

All Billy Corgan has clocked is the never ending cycle of rock re-inventing itself, before becoming too bloated and extravagant to appeal to people who wanted the genre to be subversive. Then it restarts. This has always been the way. Punk was the beginning of just one of these cycles…

One of the benefits of living in 2026 is that I can finally say, out loud even, that I think Rob Zombie is cooler and was always cooler than Marylin Manson.

I grew up in a house with the Eurythmics and Depeche Mode, those covers were unforgivable edgelord trash.

Also, it's so weird how big businessmen feel free to just openly threaten people now. "This technology cannot be escaped. It will follow you into your homes and take you screaming in front of your family. None are safe. All will bow to Nyarlathotep!"

It just drives me nuts. The goal, expressly, is to charge rent for things you can already do on your own for free
