A month's worth of rain in 2 hours!

White House Orders NASA to Destroy Important Satellite The White House has instructed NASA employees to destroy two major, climate change-focused satellite missions.

Stop testing for Covid, stop monitoring flood risk, stop measuring carbon in the atmosphere, and everything will be fine!

Thinking everyone is equally stupid and ignorant is itself an ignorant assumption; culture and education do actually matter.

Hell yeah

Disgraceful.

You already have nazi radio and TV. And all a billionaire has to do is write a cheque. No taking over required. Of course the ideology around philanthropy in the US is totally poisoned -- nobody gives away money for the greater good, only to set up capitalist foundation empires that never die 🤷‍♂️

Justin Trudeau seen on date with Katy Perry in Montreal: report According to TMZ, Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry stopped by a Montreal restaurant on Monday night to share a meal together.

They’re the original odd couple: one is a feminist icon; the other, Katie Perry!

The biggest ever Bavarian transfer to the Whitecaps… until Alphonso Davies comes home, of course. Seriously though this is wild! #VWFC

That’s pretty cool. The AT protocol is awesome

Fact Check: California Governor Candidate Kyle Langford DID Post Auschwitz Photo as '0% Unemployment Plan' Did Kyle Langford, a Republican candidate for governor of California, post a photo of himself in front of the Auschwitz-Stammlager Nazi concentration camp, along with the description "My 0% Unemployme...

There was a time when we compared Republicans to nazis and were told we were hysterical but the top Republican candidate is posting pictures of Auschwitz and saying his 0% unemployment plan so maybe you're a fucking dipshit and we were right all along.

It’s a great sign a player like Müller is even interested in us! But I want more than moral victories. I want trophies. #VWFC

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

Absolutely surreal to watch White House reporters ask Leavitt questions about tariffs moments after she and Gabbard used this briefing to baselessly accuse Obama of crimes punishable by death. We’re a sick joke of a country.

We’re going to get one to Gibsons so hopefully it’s a successful model for other routes!

Getting rid of PBS is also meant to clear the field for Prager U to be the place for children programming.

And soon enough, these will actually roll under Broadway

Careful: Lots of “now to take a big sip of coffee and read this next part …” moments therein

No doubt he was a national hero, unfortunately that meant different things at different points of his life

With reconcentrados surrounded by standing water in overcrowded and unsanitary settings, mosquito-borne malaria became a leading cause of death. Encephalitis deaths were also common. More than 100,000 civilians died in squalid conditions in these camps, from hunger and disease. [5/17]

Mosquitoes have likewise long had a starring role in concentration camps around the world, starting with the first reconcentrados in Cuba in the 1890s. Forcing families out of the countryside and behind barbed wire was *meant* to punish civilians by depriving them of food and shelter. [4/17]

One thing to keep in mind is that building in the Everglades was a deliberate choice. The administration wanted a punitive, dangerous camp. The shoddy, temporary facilities (at far above permanent-facility per-bed costs) exacerbate the conditions. Mosquitoes apparently have free rein. [2/17]

Looking forward to learning more about Smedley Butler, who executed multiple foreign coups on behalf of American businessmen — and then blew the whistle on them when they asked him to lead a fascist coup against FDR and the New Deal.

CEO of Oreo Cookies: the oreo cookie is as important as oxygen

Big Money turning to fascism not because they needed protection from socialism but because they were bored and poisoned their brains with social media is the story of this century I think

Will our new technocratic PM identify any rail corridors as projects of national concern? It’s a disgrace we haven’t electrified and intensified regional rail in the GTA, or gotten started on connecting Edmonton and Calgary, or Vancouver and the Fraser valley… the list goes on
