"the left is simply too mean these days!!" meanwhile 100 years ago a pottsville woman is howling for blood in rhyme

The fact that CBC was too cowardly to film this is indicative of a much bigger problem in media.

When layoffs come, they tend to target journalists who are "problems" for management, who question authority.

This is what you lose when you only keep the journalists who are deferential to authority:

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

Popeye spouting wisdom.

Popeye gets it.

Canada updates travel advice to warn of U.S. border officers' power to search electronic devices | CBC News The federal government has quietly updated its online travel advice to remind Canadians to "expect scrutiny" from border patrol officers if they travel to the United States.

"The phone is a window into the soul," from a record of everyone you meet with to personal correspondence. "And so for many people, they might want to take precautions to keep that information secure," EFF’s Adam Schwartz told CBC News.

They're lying to you about transgender women and girls in sports Michelle R. Martinelli For The Win

They’re lying about transgender people in this world. They’re lying about what LGBTQ+ inclusion in society really means, and they’re lying about trans people in sports. They’re lying about a “transgender cult” and “transgender insanity,” about teachers indoctrinating kids with “transgender ideology” and about “making mice transgender.” Right-wing activists, anti-trans bigots, many politicians, the president — they’re lying to you about many things but especially trans women and girls in sports. They’re lying about transgender athletes supposedly ruining women’s sports, and they’re lying about this being a ubiquitous “problem.”

They are deliberately and strategically lying about trans folks’ lives, about trans athletes and about their own disingenuous motivations for pushing these lies. They don’t care because they keep doing it. Worse, it’s working.

They're lying about trans people, especially trans women and girls in sports, probably, in part, because the actual data doesn't support their arguments. Yet several states have their own bans against trans athletes competing in sports consistent with their gender identity, despite expert estimates of fewer than 100 trans high school athletes nationwide. In 2022, Utah's Republican governor, Spencer Cox, vetoed an anti-transgender bill - it was eventually overruled by the legislature - and outlined his rationale. Along with the high suicide rates for trans youth, he noted that of 75,000 high school athletes in the state, four identified as trans and just one student was playing girls' sports. A whole state bill targeting four athletes, but really, one.

I can't remember the last time I saw an article just focus on this. Not that they've bent the truth or misrepresented a few facts a little, but that every single solitary thing that the GOP says on the topic is a stone cold lie with absolutely no basis in reality.

Rabbits was one of the first really weird things I saw on the Internet. I remember being around 11 or 12, watching it in parts on YouTube. It definitely set some things in motion for me. Thanks and rip David Lynch

the Neil Gaiman stuff sucks and it also sucks that it's an experience that thousands of women are familiar with even if their abusers weren't famous enough to command profiles in national publications

I'm from Pottsville, which I always thought was a really normal PA town name, but I live abroad now and everyone thinks it's a weed joke 😔

This is how a friend who was moving cross country gave me red dead redemption instead of Spider-Man for the ps4.

(Not that red dead is bad, I just already had it on PC)

Was able to upload all TEN of my tweets using Porto, but it doesn't seem to have preserved the original dates, which is too bad... They do show up in "order" though
