My friend a week ago: "They woke Vince out of cryo-sleep for BCGEU."

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR

MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

A big reason the Epstein story is a fiasco for Trump is that it wrecks his core narrative: That he's a member of the elite using his inside status to expose elite self-dealing/perfidy and avenge "the people." He's now in on the elite cover-up.

Some thoughts on this:

The Liberals Are Dodging Questions About A New Israeli Arms Contract It’s unclear whether the Liberal government knew about the deal before it was reported by Project Ploughshares.

Title: Modern Folk horrors of the British Isles Five images of various characters: A coven of murderous witches... Who play loud youtube videos on public transport. An ancient malevolent demon... With a three-hour podcast interviewing entrepreneurs. A flock of bloodthirsty ravens... Who think absolutely everything is "Woke". A primordial shambling beast... Wearing a "Make albion great again" baseball cap. A mob of satanic villagers... Who give bad reviews to books they haven't read.

Carney May Be Better Than Poilievre, But Serious Issues Remain A consummate technocrat like Mark Carney, committed in his bones to neoliberalism, can only exacerbate the economic pain

"A consummate technocrat like Carney, committed in his bones to neoliberalism, can only exacerbate the economic pain that is driving greater numbers of people into the arms of the right."

But what realistic alternative is there for anti-PP voters? #CdnPoli

Text at bottom reads 'THE PEACE ART COLLECTIVE'.

London's secret tunnels to become 'UK’s deepest bar' in £120,000,000 makeover They were kept hidden for 70 years.

It will now be illegal to to make fun of me. If you make me cry you will go to prison. I’m strong.

It does not matter whether you think Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. They are, but that's not the point

If you stand by while the DHS executes a warrantless arrest of a green card holder for his political beliefs, you're giving them a permission slip to arrest anyone who opposes them

This.

I think about how the entire Rogan universe just ingested every entheogen at heroic doses and just became bigger fucking assholes.

It's not the psychedelic substances.

It's the assholes putting them in their bodies.

Well, effort to not pay for foreign aid work already done. Classic T, not paying bills.

The way Trump talks about Canada, Greenland etc is straight up like a rapist. He seems to openly take pleasure in showing how little he cares for our consent and agency. That is what's causing the threat level people are perceiving IMO.

I keep thinking back to the opening of each @fallofcivspod.bsky.social episode where Paul Cooper asks “what did it feel like to be a person alive at the time who witnessed the end of their world?”

Maybe it felt like this?

This is probably the most insidious thing about Trumpism as an ideology. It's negatively polarizing people against the idea of helping other people in any way at all, *even if they themselves benefit too*.

I am once again asking for your support in destroying a fascist snitch line

three panel cartoon by @emilyscartoons.bsky.social … in the first panel one person says "let's not talk about politics any more, I can't bear it" and the other person replies "same." in the second panel, they say nothing. in the third panel, the first person yells "THE THING IS THOUGH" and the second person yells back "THOSE FUCKING IDIOTS"

literally every time I talk to friends

we're going to fix the economy! for you or for everyone?

the economy

Okay phew! Carry on.

No oatmeal?!

The way you push the bully back is by revoking permission, not once it’s gone too far, but every time it is tested, and then revoking permission for bullying things that had previously been permitted. It’s by drawing clear lines that harm is not acceptable, and then—crucially—by not accepting it.

Absolutely do not share this post with any white-hat hackers, especially if they know much about digital signs.

Vancouver airport still has those, at least in the tented hallway when you board BC WestJet flights! I came to a screeching halt, said "Hello, old friend" and took a photo.
