Lots of people like to pretend our money doesn’t count, but look at it out there, counting

Every time I see a cybertruck in the wild it's like sorry I don't believe a real person bought one of these with their own money. These are paid actors

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

My latest video "CONSPIRACY" now has full English captions lovingly handcrafted by an old Italian carpenter instead of the shitty AI ones.

I’ve seen even folks on this site scolding Canadians for “overreacting” which I think misreads the power dynamic quite a bit. America is the biggest military power to have ever existed and I don’t think people understand what it’s like to contemplate being on the other end of that

"As a hotelier, President Trump brings to the White House a unique understanding of our industry’s business model and the challenges our members face daily." - American Hotel & Lodging Association President Rosanna Maietta, January 20, 2025. Whoopsie! www.ahla.com/news/ahla-co...

This is today!! Vancouver folks, go (early) vote if you can! City council EXTREMELY needs opposition against the current majority, you can help make that happen by voting for Lucy Maloney (One City) and Sean Orr (COPE)!

I made this political ad and will make more in the future to support grassroots socialist political campaigns globally!

it's been years upon years of labored "campus culture" op-eds from salaried writers hectoring students about free speech, and now the state is kidnapping students for their speech in broad daylight

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

The Warhammer 40k subreddit dedicated to the subfaction of blood-soaked superhuman berserkers is going zero tolerance on homophobic and transphobic commenters, because Khorne cares not from whence the blood flows.

Game over

One thing that most people are missing in the group text scandal: The Trump officials don’t appear clear on what *exactly* Trump approved, which is a huge problem in using military force. Stephen Miller says “as I heard it … green light.” 😱😬 www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-short-...

the “but her emails” libs are going nuts today and to be honest they deserve it

personally i would have remained in the group chat for several years before popping in with “more like GAY D Vance” right before they ordered a nuclear strike

Canada is everything.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Timeline cleanse 🌞

Wherein Alberta premier Danielle Smith says that she attempted to influence the US administration to hold off on tariffs to give Pierre Poilievre the best chance at winning the upcoming election... Because he'll align Canada with Trump the most. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

i have zero interest in most modern low budget shlock because it’s doing this self conscious “haha so bad it’s good just like the 80s!” thing. but you can’t produce that intellectually. you need to be trying to make a normal movie and have it come out wrong because you’re a crazy person

Elbows up, Canada.

The first and most important thing to know about last night's Exec order is that it's intended to break current law and allow people throughout the federal gov look at yr tax returns. Beyond that it's intended to compel states to turn over all their data to the fed govt.

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

In some countries this position is known as a Political Officer.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

This is what a death cult truly is -- glorifying even the death of their own children

Perhaps the Gamers are alright

Cried wolf about what? 15 years ago, the Republican Party was indulging the notion that the president was a secret Muslim and that lines had to be drawn between Real Americans and decadent, subversive elites. There was a wolf, there has always been a wolf, and it's eating the republic alive.

Someone pointed out that influencers use serotonin/dopamine/cortisol/oxytocin like they’re the four humors and now I can’t stop seeing it

the last decade has really helped me understand in a more visceral sense what it meant when God hardened the pharoah’s heart

Rather than fanaticize about what the voting blocks will look like after a prolonged occupation and bloody war that could result in the end of humanity if it blew out of scale, what about just avoiding a senseless invasion for a billionaire fascist from the jump?

Only 14% of Trump’s own voters are on board with his incoherent ramblings about annexing Canada 9-in-10 Americans do not favour annexation angusreid.org/trump-carney...

Conservatives ran an entire campaign dedicated to not searching for the remains of a murdered Indigenous woman because "it isn't worth the risk". The racism at play to deny a child the right to bury her own mother because her body was not seen as valuable enough to search for

very excited to do 2002/2003 except somehow stupider and potentially more destructive

Bitch you're the one who named him King!

The problem with that "First they came for" poem is it makes a lot of unlikely assumptions. For example it assumes they would ever come for me

Thanks to President Trump, we are finally cleansing our country of … kidney-transplant specialists who “fly through the night to pick up donated organs before performing emergency surgery” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/u...

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

In this interview Schumer says he agrees with Trump’s decision to pull $400 million from Columbia. A university in his own state. And he’s unconcerned about the unlawful arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, one of his constituents. He is a traitor who needs to resign.

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say
