Wondering what it must be like to live in a compassionate country that prioritizes its hungry citizens over buying more bombs and cutting the taxes of billionaires . . .

The victims ranged in age from 1 to 14, according to Cpl. Chris Bordelon of the Shreveport Police Department, who spoke at a news conference. He said the shooting appeared to be domestic in nature.

God I wish we were rid of the "domestic" euphemism, which softens a brutal type of violence and makes it sound like a private affair. "Man shoots eight children, all family members, at three locations across Shreveport."

Sick Nazi shit

Schrodinger's strait, neither open nor not open.

Today Israel murdered more children.

Hit with US missiles as they slept.

Israel still blocks all journalists from entering Gaza - they cannot allow the world see their barbarity.

How an old word like ‘snollygoster’ can give people power over politics | CBC Radio Susie Dent says labelling the “snollygosters” and “mumpsimus” and other emotions can actually give people a great deal of peace during challenging times.

So, apparently the Orange One is a snollygoster and a mumpsimus. Who knew!? I’m feeling quite blutterbunged at the moment. #susiedent

Women still face steep challenges securing top movie jobs A San Diego State University report found that women made up 23% of all directors, writers, producers, executive producers, editors and directors of photography on the 250 top-grossing films in 2025.

In 2025, women were just 13% of directors for the top 250 films, down from 16% in 2024. Hollywood has never needed permission to exclude or diminish women, but the industry now has it with the current political war on DEI. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

B.C. will go ahead with anti-tariff ads despite Trump blow-up over Ontario

This is such an absurd waste of money. You're not going to convince Trump he's wrong on tariffs - he doesn't care.

Both Ontario and BC have a massive unhoused population, spend the millions on building some housing instead

Goodness, who would have ever guessed that a school founded by a slave owner would capitulate when it came to treating Black people fairly?

Francesca Albanese - eloquent summary of attack on the Global Samud Flotilla

FBI agent relieved of duty over refusing Comey perp walk, four people familiar say An FBI agent was relieved of duty for declining to arrange a "perp walk" of the bureau's former director, James Comey, in front of news media cameras after Comey was federally charged last month, four people briefed on the matter said on Friday.

An FBI agent is “relieved of duty” (fired?) for refusing to facilitate an unnecessary humiliation of a defendant.

Reminder that as a defendant, Trump was afforded *every* possible courtesy (like allowing him to turn himself in). www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi...

I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama. We're hundreds of miles on the interstate past Richard Nixon's high school prank-level crimes compared to 👇
