Remember that man never ran for president again because he had a plan to fix anything, he ran for president because he wanted to stay out of jail.

I love that every 72 hours or so Donald Trump tries to just quit the war in Iran

After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.

WWI Combat: 53,402 deaths
WWI Flu: 45,000 deaths

Pete Hegseth: “Let’s make the flu a threat again!”

Apparently, “readiness” now means making our troops as vulnerable as they were in 1918. Bold move.

flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.

50 years from now, (everyone):

“They elected a game show host to be president? Of the United States?”

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

👏 Canada 👏 Post 👏 is 👏 a 👏 public 👏 service 👏

Nothing proves how capitalism has brain rotted everyone than thinking the post office, hospitals, public transit, libraries, etc. need to turn a profit to be worthwhile.

Emails show Amazon colluding with other firms to raise prices, California authorities allege The previously redacted messages were unveiled as part of an antitrust battle with California attorney general Rob Bonta

Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online

Things I keep saying that no one likes.

Just like the other nepo baby, Donald “you’re not being fair!” Trump.

"The decision to buy the jet during a cost-of-living crisis in which people are struggling to afford to gas up their vehicle or fill their grocery cart with staples was incomprehensible. I’d call it an own goal, but it was more akin to the team setting its stadium on fire."

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.

Trump Library Saga Takes Dark Turn: Where Did Millions in Funding Go? Four huge media conglomerates forked over $63 million in “settlements” earmarked for Trump’s presidential library. Democrats are trying to track that money—and the latest developments don’t inspire co...

If he thought he could use our money to buy himself a private jet just imagine what's on his phone records he doesn't want us to see.

how ridiculous for Tampa Bay Lightning fans to chant "USA, USA" last night against Montreal Canadians? Montreal has more USA born players than Tampa, and Tampa has more than half its team from Canada.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

Yuuuge

“Looming over” is just code for “dominating.” 🎩

Bob Moses “Inner light” live at History Nighclub #Toronto 🍁🪩🎸🎶

We were there for the opener, Cannons, had no idea who Bob Moses are, was a pleasant surprise. Excellent show.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

As Canadians rally to stand up to the threat from Washington Poilievre is trying desperately to walk in Trump's shoes.
Doofus. A total doofus.

i was just saying to a friend a few days ago that trump's public opinion collapse opens up the field of possibilities in ways that are truly unpredictable. it is one thing for a president to be this popular at the *end* of their turn, but not even two years in?

Time for more "Joe Rogan is abandoning Trump" takes.

So Trump is back to threatening war crimes by destroying Iran’s civilian infrastructure? This reckless moron needs to be removed from office. #25th

It seems like a Prime Minister who continues to get his corruption trial delayed for years because his government is engaged in wars has a personal incentive to keep wars going as long as possible.

Well said 👏

Win or lose, there remains a real measure of promise and decency in America that is worth the fight. And win or lose, there is no dignity for any of us unwilling to have that fight.
