Make no mistake, the two major parties are #CorruptAsFuck and fully intend to ratfuck our democracy for their own personal gain. Our ONLY chance is to collectively tell these cunts to go fuck themselves at the upcoming election. #auspol

It’s possible that it might not have been a terrible idea to carefully and systematically reduce the US federal workforce. But it’s not possible that this wholesale near-random destruction is going to be anything other than a disastrous mess.

New Pharaoh's tomb just dropped. The tomb of King Thutmose II has been uncovered, Egyptian officials announced on Tuesday, marking the first discovery of a royal resting place since King Tutankhamun’s was unearthed in 1922.

Lots of thoughtful social media criticism of our question for Sunday's Checkup and we listened. The new question: what do you think of Trump's comments about Canada becoming the 51st state? The show's being simulcast on more than 100 NPR stations. It's a chance to make your voice heard.

Engaging in my usual “what party to vote for” research locally (where the PC is nearly certain to win) and this story clinched it: Three candidates don’t take part in the story, one provides no info other than a name? Are you kidding me? The Libs appear to be treating my riding as a write-off!

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

I so rarely use the Rorschach now (like, once every 5 years), but when I do--usually in the context of a "what the heck is really going on" assessment without any 3rd party involvement--it's such a fascinating journey, making use of old hard-won skills. 1/

I'm still pretty amazed that Americans were all "We're a bit disappointed with the price of eggs and the government trying to keep us healthy and all these weird people being treated respectfully. Let's give dictatorship a try."

I keep seeing references online to "King Trump" and I just want to point out what an egregious lie this is. Traditionally, kings are referred to by their first names, so he's actually King Donald.

Remember that one of the goals of the constant lying we're exposed to isn't to make you believe the lie--it's to make you doubt the truth. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

For those of you who struggle with the concept of gaslighting, see: Ukraine and what Trump and Putin are currently doing. Gaslighting is when you tell someone that the opposite is true, no matter how much reality contradicts your statement, then you make them actually go crazy for feeling crazy.

No. The time to panic is never, and the sooner public health and media stop framing it this way the better. Should we take COVID, influenza, and other pathogens seriously? Should we mitigate their transmission? Should we increase surveillance? YES. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

If you don’t have the courage to put your life on the line for your country, then you don’t have what it takes to be a politician today. It’s tragic that politicians are in the line of fire. But that’s the situation. And it demands incredible courage. If you don’t have that courage, resign.

Take Trump seriously when he makes these unfunny jokes. Remember when we were all assured that he was just kidding about Canada becoming the 51st State? The joke is just the first step to revealing the plan—and numbing the populace to it
