The billionaire propagandist infiltrating public schools who said he'd constantly rape women if he could get away with it is dying of pneumonia everyone. Tots and pears.

We live on treaty land. The Supreme Court of Canada said in the Quebec Secession Reference that Indigenous nations have to be a party to any discussion on future sovereignty questions. This can't be dismissed the way Smith does here.

From Murakami Haruki’s book of interviews with the conductor Ozawa Seiji, but this passage is about the latter’s music academy in the small Swiss town of Rolle, on the banks of Lake Geneva near Montreaux, and about the most ‘High Europe’ scene one could imagine.

Hot take: Seattle's weekly temporary Farmers markets are a huge failure of vision. A real city would have figured out a way to get them in permanent structures 7 days a week.

Francis was the world’s best practicing politician. He came in when the church was moving headlong into the past. On his effort alone it is now, at least, living in the present and fit for the future. He sidelined or destroyed his enemies at every turn and all but assured a sympathetic successor.

The Pope living just long enough to have JD Vance visit the Vatican so his Secretary of State could tell Vance to his face that he doesn’t understand Catholicism is a level of hating I could only aspire to in my wildest dreams.

Alito: The Supreme Court. made a horrible mistake. Technically, the law does say rights and due process, but that results in less of the overt cruelty I was enjoying on my television, which means the Court should’ve found delays and loopholes for the govt to deny those rights in practice. I dissent.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Schwarzenegger winning seemed like the most embarrassing thing that would ever happen in politics at the time and now he’s to the left of every elected Republican and a few Democrats and just makes videos going “young men, my fadda was a Nazi and he was a contemptible loosah”

Stop thinking of the Trump regime as a presidency doing politics. Start seeing it as a Mafia-style crime syndicate running a protection racket.

We're not ready for how eye-gougingly boring art is going to be under fascism. Like Disney removing the context of Lilo taking photos of white tourists in order to remove the critiques of colonialism sucks all the depth and humor out of the scene. It's so boring.

The government treating Teslas on fire as a big dramatic deal and what's weird about this is. They only care about Tesla fires when there are NOT people in the car. If a Tesla catches on fire while people are driving it that is apparently normal and the government sees nothing there to investigate

It’s REALLY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against downtown bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of the evidence that they are better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Bike-lanes mean business.

The funny thing about the 23andMe bankruptcy is it was always going to happen. Business model has zero repeat customers. Anyone interested buys once and never deals with you again. “Hey wonder if my DNA changed from last year” So if you did it, your shit was always gonna get sold eventually
