I want some jokes about Lysistrata but I can’t get any

Stop what you're doing and post a gif of your favorite anime.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

Quentin C. Dubus, the Belgian winner of a golden ticket to play at the Warhammer World Championships in the US has announced he will be boycotting the event

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

THREAD: Under a new law, thousands of prisoners in Louisiana have been cut off from ever getting a chance at parole. Why? Because an algorithm said so. 1/

if you’re an artist who ever thought “what’s the point? The world is Hell and I should do something that matters instead” even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.

Health Canada has seized 26 illegal injectable peptide drugs from Optimum Wellness Centre in southwest Calgary www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

"When investigators in the field confronted a potentially life-threatening contamination that compromised drug sterility, Pohlhaus was the person they would call. He’s the one who helped them gather evidence that could halt dangerous manufacturing or shut down a pipeline of compromised products."

Thank you for standing up for us, @booker.senate.gov Cory Booker breaks record for longest known Senate speech, beating Strom Thurmond www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

We have found the first documented case of an immigrant being imported to the US by politicians and then committing a bunch of heinous sex crimes

Being snatched off the street for your opinions. I'll say it again. We are deciding, right now, whether the aspirations we hold for this country are finished. Whether we're going to let these hoodlums and grifters throw what's left of the American idea into the garbage for their own profit and gain.

In 1969, Fred Hampton, deputy chairman of the national Black Panther Party, was sleeping beside his pregnant fiancee when 14 police officers burst into the Chicago apartment. Police shot him in bed, striking him twice in the head. Hampton, who was 21, was killed on the spot.

"Let’s state this plainly: a sitting Canadian premier says she asked our enemy... to alter policy in order to help elect a... candidate who is better aligned with that enemy of the country." I'm with Bruce: illegal or not, we can't treat this as politics-as-usual. www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

Also think about the difference in impact here. If you make under $13k per year, losing $1000 is DEVASTATING. That’s meals you can’t eat, desperately needed medical procedures you can’t get, school supplies your children can’t afford. If you make $3+ million per year, $180k is just a third yacht.

I spent months (and thousands of The Narwhal's dollars) digging into who actually owns the many small companies which the Alberta Energy Regulator says aren't paying their orphan well levies or minimum cleanup quotas. Some of the names might surprise you. #ableg thenarwhal.ca/alberta-oilp...

ugh I hope nobody leaks one of these to a reporter! especially not one with Signal, such as meganfarokhmanesh.76, at a publication with great policies for protecting sources, like WIRED

The fact that the Trump/Musk DOJ — without due process & in defiance of federal courts — snatches people up, puts them on planes, and deports them to an authoritarian country where those people will be forced into slave labor in an inhumane prison should be a much bigger story.

I can't remember the last time I saw an article just focus on this. Not that they've bent the truth or misrepresented a few facts a little, but that every single solitary thing that the GOP says on the topic is a stone cold lie with absolutely no basis in reality. ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...

This is genuinely courageous, I think

Canadian citizen with incomplete visa application to USA is disappeared by CBP, only to turn up in a concentration camp with no stated plans to release her. Instead of simply denying people entry, they are kidnapping and torturing them. #AbolishICE #AbolishDHS vancouversun.com/news/bc-woma...

“Smith is slated to join podcaster Ben Shapiro at a fundraising gala put on by PragerU” “Given this travel will be part of the premier’s advocacy in the U.S., the costs for the premier’s travel and accommodations will be covered by Alberta’s government.” #ableg #abpoli

Seeing a lot more of Jason Kenney lately and he is actually looking sane. Never forget just who he is. He may not be as in your face shady as Danielle Smith but he's shady nonetheless.

"CPHA urges the Alberta government to abandon this coercive and ineffective approach and instead adopt evidence-based harm reduction strategies and voluntary treatment options." www.cpha.ca/alberta-invo... #Alberta #abpoli #cdnpoli

anyway periodic reminder that congress can at any time they wish, and should tomorrow, end this
