Former Newark Mayor Cory Booker y'all. Fuck yeah. www.youtube.com/live/rCUK2Vb...

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

I caught a snippet of the astronaut press conference, the ones who were stranded for a while, and Butch Wilmore made a really good point; he alluded to this whole event raising awareness of extended and/or remote military deployments, and the difficulties that those can bring to families.

Part five of thank you Canada is Mister John Candy because that man was just all over my childhood and made it that much better. To be missed and celebrated, and loved, by basically everyone in these two vast nations is really something.

going to start calling myself a centrist and then listing all my leftist views as proof, just going to start moving the overton window by force

before the pink

hmm is there supercook but for Legos? Like I input how many of what pieces I have and it tells me what I can build? Get on that, nerds

if I ever repost cat content, you can be sure the cat will be actively being scratchied or something bc, chat, fam, whatever — we all hate cat vids where nobody pets the cat amirite

s2g the first candidate will beat him who, reacting in a tv debate to something he says, just turns to him and says to his face "God you're fucking stupid"

An early jump on tomorrow's thank you Canada: This Hour Has 22 Minutes, which you totally should (get high and?) watch clips of online. There's this oldie but goodie segment called Talking to Americans...

pada deszcz i to kochammm

youtube essays should have a big warning when you click them that tells you if the essayist is younger than you or not. because nothing is more infuriating than having something you lived through explained to you, badly, by a 20-year-old

Today is thank you Canada Post, number three, is jazz piano virtuoso Oscar Peterson

it's becoming quite clear that the world was wary of Trump 1, but is not going to forgive us for Trump 2

Part two in my thank you Canada series, today it's Frederick "Isles of Langerhans" Banting! Ringleader of a team at the University of Toronto that discovered insulin a little over a century ago.

Maybe autism isn't the disorder—maybe it's the clarity. Neurotypicals are so tangled in invisible social rules and fake smiles that they forget how to be honest. Autistics aren't broken; we're just not playing a rigged game. #NeurotypicalsAreWeird #AutismAcceptance #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodivergent

What if the secret to winning elections is somehow Trump's syntax. We need a guy to say stuff like "But we're going to abolish billionaires and we'll be doing it very soon. They'll be paying very high taxes but it'll be very fair. And frankly they haven't paid taxes in a very long time"

Part one in a series of who the hell knows how many posts, but I bring you Things I'm Grateful to Canada for. Today's post: Gordon Lightfoot

we're all just this lil guy

If you’re looking at the news of Dems flipping an R+15 state senate seat & thinking huh maybe I should run in my deep red district… 1. Look up your options at runforwhat.net 2. Check out some resources at runforsomething.net/candidate-resources 3. Get the book. bookshop.org/a/100021/978...

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

"Do... do you think you could turn the music down? Just a little, Dmitri?"

Be aware of those around you when protesting

English is my first language, Deutsch ist meine zweite Sprache, język Polski jest mój trzeci mowa, et Français est mon quatrième langue

Billy Stewart's Summertime. Simply fantastic

I like to learn about the differences in our systems

There will be a future that is not the techno state. There will be, even if there is horror on horror first. My biggest fear is not that tyrants permanently rule - i think history proves otherwise & i believe in us -

you guys, I love being gay

Hey, @whipkclark.bsky.social, what are you going to do when you get back into power and the world gives you the same cold shoulder it's giving him now because you didn't deal with fascism?

I'm seeing Ernest how about you #simpsons

Sometimes I get frustrated with my level of distractibility but then I remember THERE IS A COUP HAPPENING. FASCISM IS HERE. So I give myself grace:) 🦋
