Homeland Security tweet says “there us no room at the table for invaders.”

Homeland Security doesn’t grasp the fact that the first Thanksgiving was about making “room at the table” for European “invaders.”

Doug Ford hates wind turbines because they're a visual blight.

AI probably told him.

How to explain AI to your family this holiday season | CNN Business Politics, football and movies are among the many topics that tend to come up around Thanksgiving. In 2025, a new question may arise at the table: Why the heck is everyone talking about AI, and what sh...

"Imagine you stole all of the intellectual property in the world. And you're using it to help people write middling emails and make revenge porn about women, and also children. And you're powering this plagiarism and non-consensual porn machine by eating up what's left of humanity's carbon budget."

Tariffs apply to goods, not services. Zero in on the goods-producing sector, and you'll discover that it's hemorrhaging jobs. Indeed, the start of the trade war marks the peak in that sector, and it's been in recession ever since.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Oh my!

Back when I was in school we had AI but we called it Coles Notes and calculators.

Beautiful eye brown cows are walking toward the camera and are the deck with evergreens and beautiful summer flowers. The cow in front has the most beautiful nose you’ve ever seen and has her face pointed shyly down. Behind her is a long row of similarly beautifully dressed cows.

Two young adults, a girl and a boy made a parade of decorated cows through a traditional street with old-fashioned Swiss buildings. Everyone is smiling and delighted, except for the boy. The cows are lovely and their noses need to be petted.

A white valley with a country road with a parade of cows walking toward the camera. The cows have Tal or Nate towers of flowers and evergreens on their heads and they’re walking in a row. They are brown with white faces. On the left walking near them is a man with a black blazer and pants and a white shirt and a hat. He has a pink flower in his lapel.

These cows are walking down a country street with a Swiss chalet style cabin on the left. The cows have truly ridiculous Christmas tree. Tal flower arrangements on their heads that are laughably huge. They also seem to have massive bells underneath them almost the size of their heads. These cows also have noses that need to be booped.

I had to find out how cute this was. Turns out: incredibly cute and I needed to know this. I put some time into these alt-tags

They all sound like Grindr handles, or porn movies.

My first “ma’am” was also a bit disturbing.

This has me thinking about a mahogany box lined in ruffled cream satin.

But it will be fun and go boom!

Doug Ford to raise campaign donation limits by 47% and end fixed election dates Attorney General Doug Downey is boosting maximum donations from the current $3,400 to $5,000 in January and tying future increases to inflation.

Cory Doctorow @doctorow Replying to @jonrog1 A pathology of conservativism is that 'things used to be simple.' No, you used to be a kid. Your parents shielded you from life's complexity. Things are complex because you're an adult now. Conservativism is the desire to be a child. 8:01 PM • 2021-08-19 • Twitter for Android

I think Cory Doctorow really put it best

Conservatives think everything in the past was different from what is really was because they are remembering it from the viewpoint of childhood naïveté

The United States is no longer negotiating with Canada because the America's Republican President does not understand his predecessor's view of tariffs.

Forget the clip that worries the President. Reagan was consistent, and here's a different speech where he made his case.

Trump slammed for demolishing White House before Canadians could burn it down again WASHINGTON D.C. - US President Donald Trump's planned White House ballroom, requiring the complete demolition of the historic East Wing, is being criticized by Canadians who will now never get to ligh...

Well Canada is pissed at him

Anyone blaming Canada for not getting an agreement with this lunatic should shut it

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Law of the sea expert chiming in to say there is no lawful basis for military strikes against vessels for customs infringements on the high seas or in any other maritime zone, including the territorial sea. These are unlawful extra-judicial killings.

“I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ―Elie Wiesel

It's this simple: the GOP controls the White House + Congress. They could pass a clean CR that keeps the government open. They would rather slash health benefits for working class families. Trump and the GOP are holding sick Americans hostage. Democrats refuse to abandon sick Americans. That's it.
