So relatable. A trad wife baking bread.

I live around here and this strip is going to have a ton of massive buildings. But at least the streetscape is being preserved. You’ve got these great buildings below, why not as an architect play with the design aesthetic of the buildings below. There’s so much to draw from.

@taranarmstrong.bsky.social Taran. You have to watch Traitors: Australia season 1, Traitors UK 2 and Traitors Canada 2. The three best seasons. The Civilian version is a million times better than US celebrity version. With civilians they have no clue who the traitors could be.

Right now I don’t buy that he’s doing much of anything. Liberals want to maintain the status quo no matter what that is.

The film « The Nazis: A warning from
History » is really striking. I watched it in early 2017 was was stunned by how similar Hitler and Trump actually are.

Sarah Kendzior in her book « They Knew » talks about the xfiles. It’s about the important distinction between actual conspiracies which are real and do happen, and conspiracy theories which are not real but contain elements of truth from the real conspiracy. Like QAnon landing on Epstein.

It was the general vibe of the 90s. Skepticism and distrust of the government. Questioning official narratives and state secrets. To me this is more health questioning government conspiracy, whereas nowadays it’s more like cults of conspiracy theories. Very different things.

I literally don’t know where to shop now.

He is literally trying to provoke Black Americans into the streets so he can grab them and send them to a camp or deport them. They should not take the bait. To me, resistance is staying home in this case. He wants to do The Purge. Don’t go out protesting. At least force them to go door to door.

Sarah Kendzior does a great job of tackling this in her book « They Knew ». It’s about the distinction between actual conspiracy and conspiracy theories. The reality is that there are actual conspiracies like Epstein. And conspiracy theories have truth embedded in them.

We should have nothing to do with this shield.

What Trump was all about was widely known in the 90s. He’s been a part of the top culture for decades. It wasn’t until Mark Burnett created The Apprentice that people started believing he was a billionaire businesssman instead of a bankrupt failure. None of this happens without that show.

If she’s been handed powers it makes no sense not to fully use them. The Right would never hesitate.

Is the styling of this supposed to be a cross between V for Vendetta and Jigsaw?

Punishment for speaking out against abuse?

In theory the other countries would defend us against a Russian invasion of the arctic. Or against some new enemy that attacked us. I’m skeptical this would ever occur and that Europeans would come to defend Canada. Now the threat is the United States so NATO is just guarding the status quo.

Exactly. CARNEY had a lot of game during the election and we’ve seen none of it since.

I’m skipping it. I don’t need more Americana in my life.

It seemed to me like they wasted the potential of Dinosaurs in the real world with humans and went backwards. Now there is nowhere to go except yet another island. Or to return to that new island again — for some reason.

Because Americans refuse to relate to stories set in Canada and the Canadian market is small. The novel Station Eleven was set in Toronto. The HBO show was set in Chicago and filmed in Toronto.

The point is it’s a concentration camp. Not who is doing it. Two sides of the same coin.

I’d never even heard of it!

I like the Polaroids at the bottom instead of giant heads on so many posters.

I honestly think he’s a fun winner. It’s not his fault they made a stupid twist where someone can return who got voted out early. And that it was him instead of Joe is great. He played a great game with the very limited time he had. And didn’t leave anything on the table like Natalie not doing fire.

They will do literally nothing. He gets away with everything he does. Why though, why does he get away with single crime…hmmm.

And Trump will face zero consequences in the US for doing it, as always.

I took a biz class VIA rail trip and they came by with wine in the early morning. And I was like, ya know what, Yes!

Their President, who we don’t get to vote for seems to have more impact on our lives than many politicians we actually vote for.

Dividing North America up into smaller more manageable regions is the goal. The same thing is happening in Canada with Alberta. It’s easier to control by oligarchs. The elite rich want to be feudal kings who rule their own nation states.

Because the media is generally Liberal. And Liberals normalize everything. If the general societal mood is progressive then that’s normal. If the society shifts fascist and authoritarian then that’s normal too. The status quo rules.
