I’m an employment counsellor and in the last 2 weeks I’ve had several clients break down in my office because “of what’s going on right now.” It’s fucking rough. Today, when I I asked a client what he’d like to do for the last 5 mins of his appointment and he asked me to play this video.

"This country has gotten bloated, fat, disgusting, and incompetently run," the 78-year-old McDonald's extreme enthusiast said.

Gene Hackman auditioned for and almost got the part of Mike Brady in THE BRADY BUNCH. There better be an option in heaven to watch all 117 of those episodes.

I can’t imagine a me who grows tired of Hot Chip.

Zooming and capturing stills is a delight—gender bending exotic dancers, fat old Trump, shirtless Netanyahu… it’s almost too good to be true

Crazy how normal this is on Facebook. I know I’ve got a crazy aunt on FB!

Love. Even though it makes me anxious. 😬 🎈

@flashes.blue actively shaking the meta monkey off my back — stoked for this option. S’been a bit & I’ve yet to rec’v a confirmation email. Is this a known issue?

First photo here. It’s dark and not the best. Like my mood this morning.

Dear celebrities, please keep dressing up as books because this is the best bit of our job 🤩

Gross. Just over the border, a few hours away, a woman is pulled from her seat by police & jeered at by emcee/voiceover “talent”/POS Ed Bejarana “Look at this little girl over here, everyone. Look at her," “Your voice is meaningless right now. ... I can talk over all of you.”

Kevin O'Leary to @ianhanomansing.bsky.social on Cross Country Checkup, rough quote: "The Canadian dollar has dropped 40% against the US dollar under Trudeau." Fact check: the CAD has dropped 34% from the 2011 peak, but just 4% of that drop happened under Trudeau. The big drop happened under Harper.

Beautiful

Day 4 of this miserable illness. My search history gets weirder. Coughing fits hurt my body, annoy the cat & frighten the dog. I’d like to be done now, please.

Interesting

Laid out with the nastiest respiratory thing listening to The Children of Jocasta by @nataliehaynes.bsky.social has led to some intense fever dreams and a self-diagnosis of “the reckoning”.

Everything is temporary. So why are you feeling stressed? If that easy time passed, this difficult time will too. Gurdeep.org

Missed this #seal #severance

"The beauty of nature! Exploring different types of birds. Which one is your favorite?"

The world has lowered my immune system. Everything hurts. Sore body. Sore throat. News updates turning into fever dreams. Quarantined upstairs with no one to complain to but the whole internet

Tiny dick energy

Only following back male models with professional headshots + pics of boats/convertibles/puppies + 5-6 posts.

"American exceptionalism tends to be associated with the right, and it is perhaps this that has made it so difficult for its liberals, as they style themselves, to recognise the magical thinking at play in their insistence that it couldn’t happen there."

“Mr. King will get his voice back.” Shit news to bookend a day of shit news

DOGEbags “Big Balls” and “Kyle” at CISA. Well, isn’t that something?

Just deleted ~30 similar accidental old person videos. I’ve been a content creator for over 20 years—a community manager, UGC curator, site editor, blogger etc & so on. I made cool things when things were just getting cool. And yet, here we are.

Too many Siths. #trumpadministration

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

Looking for a subversive way to stick it to the baddies? This Saturday, I’ll be freezing my Canadian-grown tits off for a few safe & gamefied hours. My goal: Raise $$$ for the people in my community who struggle for real. shiver.w-ith.me/jenniferaikman ⚖️🇨🇦❄️

No, we’re not moving/just moved in. #showmeyourshelves

It’s a conundrum. 🤷‍♂️

Um, we can hear you…

I voted for Trump because he said he would make planes fall out of the sky every day but I never thought he'd actually do it

Had the pleasurable pleasure of attending an opening for this doc. It’s sweet & smart & brimming with queer joy. Bonus: it’s going to piss off the worst people. animalpride.ca #natureisgayAF

Keeping it a little too on the nose

me: I’m gonna go medieval on your ass you: oh no me: *washes you more frequently and thoroughly than a 21st century audience might expect*

Also, here’s a terrifying photo of my very sweet doggo.

I have not slept. I start work in 3 hours and there are skunks squeak screaming outside my window. There’s poetry here. Not the fun kind that rhymes. But poetry nonetheless. 🦨

I just saw a comment on TikTok that said “Elon looks like he’s wearing the face of the CPR dummy that Dwight cut off in The Office” and normally I don’t like laughing at people’s appearances but holy shit IT’S TRUE 🤣🤣🤣🤣 He’s uncanny valley
