When one of your own is kicked out of the lying fascist’s fora, you do not silently sit by and let it happen. You stand up, yell, and physically block the people trying to remove them. Or you progressively heckle and shout and get kicked out one by one. Shut it down. Stand together.

He didn’t “give them” Javelins—he sold them those weapons. You’re not a gracious saviour who deserves praise, you’re an arms dealer. And when Zelenskyy asked to buy more in 2019, Trump responded with the words that got him impeached the first time.

I miss the days before the internet made it nearly impossible to organize a general strike.

Elon being a Queen’s boy still breaks my brain, speaking as someone who did my Master’s there. The Queen’s undergrads I knew were all white, upper class, low-key racist twats, but in a fun way. Think, “cover your drinks at Stages, but ahhhh he’s a good sport and he brought a two six for the punch.”

A thirteen hour deep dive on Bionicle lore is something I didn’t know I wanted until I had. Also I forgot how much of this shit I knew and read as a 6-15 year old, and I now want to chain the LEGO execs to a radiator until they start making sets again. Blame @bensaintcomix for this monsterpiece.

People saying ‘they should run for office’ every time someone engages in conscientious acts of potential sacrifice like civil disobedience need to have a bigger imagination than ‘they should join the hive mind’. No. *You* should join them in engaging in civil disobedience.

Another reminder to me that 97% of Harvard attorneys I’ve practiced with are trash.

Shopify is happily processing the sales for the Yeezy swastika shirt. Tell me again why porn stars can't get sales processing but a Nazi can.

Beginning to think that the elevation of nerd culture from 1998-2015 was the single biggest mistake in American history.

Ten bucks says he’s doing this because of the right’s fear-peddling of it being used against wHItE FaRmERs *20s of reading* Twenty bucks.

No idea how true this hits.

Today in life under competitive authoritarianism It is not generally a characteristic of democracies that journalists and scientists need to archive public datasets because the regime is purging them from government websites

This is absolutely crucial advice. Read it. Read it again. Repeat it to yourself. Do not allow yourself to be overloaded. OVERLOAD IS A DELIBERATE TACTIC.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

I’m used to this as a criminal defense attorney - constitutional rights get called technicalities all the time. I can no longer say I expect better from the NYT. This is pathetic.

The powers of a supermajority.

My white whale is finding out how I can post about horniness as a man without sounding like an incel or cringe

Given that two of my professions, law and spice trader, overlap, I’m making a point to keep an eye on SW/anti-porn/anti-choice in Canada this year and going forward. That in mind: if you haven’t watched my R v Kloubakov video yet, you should. vm.tiktok.com/ZMkXffDRH/

This senator’s name is “Dusty Deevers” btw and I wish that gave me more joy. Anyway, it’s not just porn he’s banning 🧵

Not sure “Ottawa elites”: 1) is true; 2) does not apply to you, obviously; and 3) is the burn you think it is. “Ottawa elite” is giving “Halifax Illuminati”—sorry, even if they’re real I can’t take the name seriously.

“The government should mind its own damn business” Lovely idea, except: 1. He’s lying. 2. He dodges answering whether he’d push for enby passports to be recognized by the US (a pretty reasonable ask, given they would be your constituents). 3. I can’t unsee it: his hair looks like a gasoline rag.

Make degenerate art. Be radically happy. Celebrate weirdness. Disrupt society. YOUR JOY IS A KNIFE. YOUR LOVE IS A GUN. YOUR LIFE IS A SPIT IN THE FACE OF FASCISM.

This year, resolving to focus more on Canadian news and culture. Yea the elephant we’re sleeping next to is now tanned, meth-addled and threatening to step on us—we’ll deal with that. Doesn’t mean we can’t focus on our shitty landlord too.

My guy, if anyone can make something incredibly niche yet existentially substantial in three minutes, it’s you.

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. How do you review, cover, and criticize a blitzkrieg of anti-American totalitarianism? One order, one law, one executive act at a time. Pace yourselves.

Fun fact: a nazi doubles as a speedbag. #notlegaladvice
