Gentlemen, this is capitalism manifest! What is the charge? Enjoying a product? A perfectly legal product?

It sometimes feels like as independent journalists, nothing we ever do is enough, and the work pile just gets taller and taller. If you support people like Rachel (or me or so many others), don't make your support contigent on quantity. Don't make us chase your eyeballs and your dollars.

Episode 370 – Majority Carnage In this episode, Sandy and Nora talk about Mark Carney’s majority government and what it will mean for Canadians. Plus, they talk about Doug Ford’s silent revolution.

New ep of Sandy and Nora is out! We talk about Carney's majority government and how his Red Toryism in a moment of massive change is paving the way for something radical to come next. The only question is whether or not it will be fascist.

Plus, we talk Doug Fraud.

Eight orders of magnitude more costs, more carbon emissions, in pursuit of intrinsically less reliable results.

The whole point of the "south shall rise again" thing was that one side never really accepted an end to hostilities, only a change in venue.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois

Brutal.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

‘Proactively fall in line:’ Holocaust Memorial Museum quietly changed content after Trump returned to office Two former employees said they believed the museum was altering its content preemptively to avoid unwanted negative attention from the Trump administration.

The US Holocaust Memorial Museum under the Trump administration has deleted its teaching materials about links between Nazi racism and the Jim Crow laws: www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Reminder: pls don't quote dunk or respond to professional trolls. They literally monetize any interaction - very happily engaging in online fights for attention, which = money.

So when you respond to them, you're giving them money.

Don't give money to trolls.

Just report and block.

Basically a one man pogrom with that kind of behaviour

The concentration camps where Israelis have been torturing Palestinians are now death camps. But it’s okay, according to racist scum in the West, because it’s “democratic”. May you all rot in hell. Quote Mondoweiss @Mondoweiss · 19h BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees. Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out. It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis. Omar Sakr @omarsakrpoet · 9h Just to clarify, since some don’t seem to understand: 1) This death sentence will be delivered by military courts, there’s no jury, no representation 2) These military courts try Palestinian children 3) A child who throws a stone can be deemed a “terrorist” and now put to death. Omar Sakr @omarsakrpoet · 3h Numerous Israeli politicians have said things to the effect of “there are no innocents in Gaza”, “they are all collectively responsible for October 7”, “they are all terrorists, yes, even the children”, and there are numerous reports, going back decades, of Palestinians being tortured into claiming credit for crimes they didn’t commit—it was only days ago that we saw images of a baby boy with cigarette burns on his legs, tortured by the IDF to get his father to confess—and despite all this, there are dipshits in my mentions trying to pretend like it matters how this executioner’s bill defines terrorist, as if we were talking about a normal state with normal legal mechanisms instead of an apartheid colony that has been systematically mass murdering Palestinians every day for the past three years and now has a legal mechanism for killing the 10,000 or so people they have detained. Anyone defending this is a psychopath.

I hope that people on here can conjure as much energy for the fact that Israel has 'legalized' arbitrary military 'court' death sentences for stone-throwing Palestinian children as they can for indignation at hearing the words "Free Palestine."

I truly do.

The world still operates like a bunch of feuding empires when it is very clear that not one nation can exist and flourish alone.

Deagol sounds completely normal. Smeagol isn't doing the weird coughing thing yet. Why does he sound like a little gremlin?

It feels so silly for Andy Serkis to be doing the Gollum voice in the opening scenes of Return of the King.

Tired of Platner. Maine voters will have to decide. But fwiw, I don't trust him and the claim that it was all in the remote past doesn't convince me. Here's a timeline thread of red flags from 2007-2026:

2007 - Nazi tattoo
2008 - Trolls people with Blackwater hat

AI got the blame for the Iran school bombing. The truth is far more worrying LLMs-gone-rogue dominated coverage, but had nothing to do with the targeting. Instead, it was choices made by human beings, over many years, that gave us this atrocity

The Largest Physician Organization In The US Reaffirms Gender-Affirming Care Is Medically Necessary The American Medical Association is setting the record straight on trans people’s health care—expressing its full support of keeping decisions in the hands of doctors, patients, and their families.

1. The largest medical organization in the United States, the American Medical Association, has reaffirmed that gender affirming care for trans youth is medically necessary.

It disavowed the New York Times reporting.

Incredible development for trans youth.
