We do not have a free country in this moment. When they can nab someone off the street because they don't like what they say, they can nab anyone.

Ketchup and hoisin sauce are basically interchangeable for most purposes. Discuss.

I have always found interesting that Violator is my favourite album of theirs, but doesn't have my favourite songs. I guess it's partly because it has no duds at all.

Bara Bada Bastu is the only thing I know of that has the power to make a bunch of Finnish speaking Finns say "bastu" instead of sauna and what I mean is that there's truly something rare and positive happening between 🇫🇮 & 🇸🇪. Anyway this reddit post says all that and a lot more in a much better way!

A Ponzi scheme is where you put in money and get nothing back. Social Security isn't that, but Elon is trying to turn it into that. People paid. It's their money and he wants to take it away.

Sure they'll probably ignore it, but making them actually do so has value. Giving up does not.

Literally nothing the modern right-wing says is in good faith.

The whole fucking reason Arlington National Cemetery came into existence is because of the American Civil War.

I find this song by David Shaw hypnotic: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAUa... Rotating You (In My Mind) from the album Hello Darkness Mild Friend.

we're in legit first they came for territory and a lot of people have been failing at this test they cite all the time

A second German tourist is being held in a detention centre after having her Visa revoked by the U.S. It’s the same detention centre holding Jessica Brösche, the German tattoo artist who spent 8 days in solitary. She’s been held for 6 weeks. The U.S. is not a safe place to travel anymore

It is wild to me that literally every Republican elected official would rather destroy global society and kill millions than get primaried from the right. I guess that's what happens when you make a complete lack of morals and empathy a prerequisite for party membership.

At least he's only the massively corrupt type of conservative rather than explicitly Nazi? It's cold comfort.

skepchick.org/2025/02/no-i... This makes good points, that just because a Trump voter is now sad that the government is hurting them, doesn't make them an ally.

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

If you can vote in Ontario confirm your registration here: elections.on.ca Remember, the government is currently controlled by the people who sent misleading robocalls giving wrong election info to non-Conservative voters. I know because I got one when it was happening. Just do it to be sure.

Please remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people. Identify those people and block and shun them.

now that DeepSeek has completed AI, we hope that Silicon Valley will turn its attention to the next best thing: investing in rural history museums

So how’s it going so far?
