Adverbs are the CIA/KGB of writing. They do all the sneaky, ignoble, dirty work in the background. That said, I have never seen a more put upon adverb than the one in the oxymoronic phrase “mostly peaceful bombing”. That ladies and gentlemen is a broken word begging to come in from the cold.

“Government decision making”? That’s what we’re calling s. 119 of the Criminal Code now in Ontario.

Which is an oddly paradoxical compliment to the writers.

Poor, Danielle. Bought the tickets, paid for the limo and still can’t get a date to the prom.

Hurl those bolts with accuracy or I’ve got a 9:00 a.m. Monday call into Zeus for a quote on lightning smites.

THEM: Who?
ME: I don’t know what the hell you want from me? Uh-huh, uh-huh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Ah-ha, ah-ha, doo-doo-doo la-da-da da-da.

Looks either like he’s got her in some sort of martial arts/self-defence immobilization hand lock or that she’s leading a baffled toddler to potty. No reason, I suppose, that both aren’t true.

Who the hell drinks US booze? Bourbon is magically marketed swill and there are uncountably better wine growing countries. Their beer shouldn’t be mentioned in polite company or, really, company of any sort, let alone served or consumed.

We’re saving all our “grief” for the one we’ve been praying for.

Not sure “tired” begins to describe it nor is it the appropriate response. I would hope people are nothing less than furious and willing to turn rage into real action. In this case, if you snooze, you lose your freedom and your country.

But they will meet their maker one day and he has views on false idols. I suggest they worry.

“RFK Jr. Wants to Make America Healthy Again”? Where is the evidence for that?Wtf is wrong with your digital team Politico? Compare that clickbait bullshit with the article’s actual headline and subhead. The content of the second sentence alone would have sufficed for your post. Get it together.

“Little meditations on the state of politics in Alberta”? Sounds like the best way to achieve unenlightenment.

Those who didn’t vote and the inveterately selfish 905, there are places, albeit differently located, in hell for both these constituencies.

If people are talking about Bluesky dying it’s because they want it to and the only reason they want it to is because it’s not dying.

Greatest. Song. Ever. My go-to happy jam. Makes my body instantly dance and turns me into a paradoxically angst- and joy-filled teen again. God bless Morrissey, Marr, Rourke, and Joyce.

Everything about this screams bizarro world transmission leak into our own reality. What is that blue and white desecration on the shelf behind the dear leader and his pretend tea party sippy cup?

How he was elected after the disgrace of his (and his brother’s) stint at Toronto City Hall is a shame that the Conservative Party and the voters of Ontario will never be able to wash off. I only hope our beloved province is salvageable after his much belated exit.

Saying “no” to fictional boogeymen is pretty easy. Many of us grow out of it in childhood or shortly thereafter. Others, not so much.

The UK’s nuclear arsenal Trident system is entirely dependent on US support, i.e. US government approval. Without that the UK loses even the pretence of big power status and becomes what it has been since Suez: an imperial lapdog with only twitchy dreams of its past imperial glory.

“Mentally compromised”? I think we’re well past the point of euphemism, which is a dangerous and unaffordable luxury. The man is, at best, very ill. Speaking more accurately, he is irredeemably depraved. And, if we were to just “spit straight up facts”, he is fucking nuts.

While I agree 100% with your hard church-state separation sentiment, by no recognizable definition are those people Christians. It is long past time for the world’s Christians to start calling bullshit on whatever has been masquerading as their faith in the United States for the past half century.
