I despair... #ukpol

It was pointed out to me that the board game Monopoly includes UBI – collect 200 for passing GO – and it's not the reason people lose.

Another reason to shop Costco.

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. Repost if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Not a day passes that someone doesn’t tell me that they are exhausted or, more candidly, afraid. It is okay to be tired and understandable to be afraid. Courage doesn’t come from being well rested and feeling safe. It is found in overcoming those emotions. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

You all act is if you've never ordered drugs from your office computer on Capital Hill then sex trafficked an underage person through an intermediary and paid for it on Venmo with public transactions then showed other members of Congress you having sex with multiple people on the House floor

#CNDpoli Yeah, this

Holy crap

What isn't included in this video chart is what happened in 1984... Mulroney began slashing funding for CMHC, which prevented the building of subsidized housing for decades. #cdnpoli

This. I am SO tired of purity tests handing power to the far right ...

For the Monday crowd, my weekend Loonie Politics column: Do we need to beware Poilievre and the tech broligarchy? #cdnpoli

Word of the day (of course) is ‘scurryfunging’, from US dialect: the frantic attempt to tidy the house just before guests arrive.

Healthcare workers trying to process that the first early reports of "a novel respiratory disease circulating in Wuhan, China" was this time of year *half a decade ago*

Word of the day is ‘bellycheer’ (16th century): feasting, gluttony, and ‘the gratification of the belly’.

Make it make sense! In what world is it better for the NDP for Canada to have a massive-majority Con govt in office? This makes no sense from any perspective I can see (and is incredibly damaging for Canada, too)! Disappointed in Singh, to say the LEAST! #CDNpoli

Jesus fucking wept...

Superb piece this

There have been some pretty consequential years in recent history. But next year is squaring up to be an epic shitshow… I was a teenager in the 80s with the threat of nuclear war looming. World politics feels more unstable than that right now. Enough to make this atheist start praying…? #2025

This!!! 100% this!!!

Perhaps I've misunderstood all along and WaPo ownership views "Democracy dies in darkness" as aspirational.🤔

🧞‍♂️ 🪔

Perfect

www.cbc.ca/news/world/a... Yeah, we should be doing more of this - has the government even *tried* to push Meta to comply after the ban came into effect, or just left us Canadians out in the cold without the ability share or see news content? #CDNpoli

Wait, hold on - I thought the Trump as Time's "Person of the Year" was a mock up! The FUCK!?

Shit. Well reasoned thread on the very real risk of a federal election, soon. (And therefore a massive-majority conservative government too, too - ugh!) #CDNpoli
