The reason so many Canadians increasing feel like “fuck Alberta” when they hear this shit is that Alberta separatism is driven my greed and climate denial above anything else. They can’t claim some unique cultural or linguistic reasons like Quebec (whose separation I also don’t support).

sigh

that first line is some German reich shit

fun fact: you know what is [supposed to start shipping] in ~6 weeks? Christmas decor. orders should have been placed last month (or no later than early this month), but apparently they just don't exist: www.reuters.com/world/has-tr...

It’s astonishing to see Trump play all the Latin American protectionist greatest hits. I can’t shake the feeling that exchange rate controls are somewhere down this road…

It’s comically gendered. “don’t you worry your pretty little head about the dolls and the strollers, we’re focused on manly gasoline.”

On this day, May 4, 1970, National Guardsmen opened fire on students at Kent State University, Ohio. They killed four students. Three were Jewish, two were honors students, one an Eagle Scout. Two of them were simply walking to class, no part of the protests. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN_9...

The authors did not anticipate that "I am the antichrist! Crown me emperor!" would be the preferred and successful strategy of the antichrist.

With CBC now having called all ridings it's time for the land-vs-people-vote animation.

.....*silent screaming*

There is a difference between being (1) relieved that Poilievre, a man with the charm of Ted Cruz and the humanity of JD Vance, lost the election, and (2) being happy Mark Carney, a central banker, private equity manager, and technocratic neoliberalism in human form, won. I am relieved, not happy.

Does anyone know of any academic scholarship on the rhetoric of divisiveness and its role in politics? #culturalsociology #theory #politicaltheory #sociology

This is fucked up. forward.com/fast-forward...

They are not. We have maybe the worst political system in the developed world, one that makes an unrepresentative sliver of voters with no principles who aren't really paying attention decisive. Every few months, they get profiled like a set of jangling keys and folks want to throw democracy away.

I need a non-ableist replacement for calling things "madness."

KIM KITSURAGI - Never fuck with Kim Kitsuragi.

Yes. Biden's age is the most pressing issue right now that the WHCA should be addressing right now. WTF is this disingenuous trash.

Hot take: the best journalists are, in a way, activists. If your journalism isn't guided by a desire to make the world kinder and fairer through access to factual information, you're simply a stenographer for the status quo.

Does anyone know where I could find generation vs race/ethnicity?
