Generic items painted to look more valuable than they really are is a pretty accurate metaphor for both Trump’s presidency and the man himself.

No democratic politician is my family. They are not beyond criticism when they fuck up and they fuck up a lot. I’m not going to ever praise them as perfect. This doesn’t mean I don’t think the GOP is far worse. But I’m not some cheerleader clapping like a seal. If you want that I’m not for you.

People are being impacted. Lives are being affected. No amount of political maneuvering will hide those facts. We’ve settled for things being half measures when it’s possible to have more than empty promises. It’s time for us to not just ask but demand more from our elected officials.

Wouldn’t it be fun if people just started randomly bringing things to decorate this One Lonely Bench? Like, a patio umbrella or a potted plant?

on one hand, some folks online are being a tad uncharitable at the refurbished Granville Street Bridge's public spaces being in an interim state

on the other hand, if you do a political ribbon cutting ceremony after two years and $54 million, you're gonna get dunked on if this is the first result

We cannot continue to be complicit in a genoc!de.

YouTube video by Rachel Gilmore Does Canada's government care that Gaza is starving? Their "insulting" response to me suggests no.

Our government’s lack of action in the face of genocide is disgusting. Children, parents, support workers - everyone is being starved by the Israeli government, while we stand by and do nothing to stop it.

“This video essay goes into Isaac Asimov’s Foundation (and the TV series). I discuss how the future-predicting science of psychohistory is similar to something we have in our world - economics. But in our society, it doesn’t quite work like it does in the sci-fi show…”

I did the math, if all Americans were lined up right now to turn in their weapons, and weapon turn and happened every day, 1000 weapons a day in every state, without a break. It would take…54 years.

Your folks collecting the weapons would die of lead poisoning before all the weapons were collected.
