Just a reminder that the "Spanish" Flu actually started in Kansas and that it was government silence over the disease and troop movements during WWI that spread the disease world wide

Spain only gets the credit because they were neutral and had no reason to lie to their citizens about a pandemic

This woman and her ilk just fucking love to inflict harm on vulnerable people - and disabled kids are some of the most vulnerable. Pitting parents against teachers (again!) is just icing on the cake.

I hate this woman

Lacross is Canada’s national sport

All elevators at TTC subway stations out of service Approximately 67 of the TTC's 70 subway stations currently have elevator access to train platforms.

You can’t spend years trying to force people off door-to-door Wheeltrans service if you don’t have working elevators.

This isn’t an “inconvenience,” it’s an affront to everyone with accessibility needs.

or that it's safe to block the entrance with a dog when other residents also have dogs

and there are like 3 parks where he could safely sit with his dog within 15 minutes walk

one literally at the end of the block 3 minutes away

which then scares the group of children who were following me down the block.

I could murder him

The level of entitlement to block the door at all, much less assume everyone wants and can just step over a fucking husky

a curse on old white men who think the rather small doorway into your apartment building is actually their living room and that they can camp out there for however long they want with their dog lying across the stairs

then act like it's your fault when you come back from a walk and the dogs bark

but it might have been mitigated by actually talking about the countless people who were fixing the issue before it became THE ISSUE

I didn't hear about all the people who made sure it didn't happen until years later

During the whole Y2K panic. I never once heard about all the people who were working to make sure it didn't happen. It was always just presented as "well we'll find out what the computers do on the day"

I know the panic would have happened regardless because humans

Everyone knows the economy is doing great. I dont know why homelessness is up and a record number of people are working 2 jobs, but that has nothing to do with the economy. The economy is a chart with a line going up, not that other shit. Grow up

Stuck with their heads in the sand and begging others to join them

beyond the stigma that this kind of frankly ridiculous rhetoric isn't even the biggest problem

Every time someone writes or shares trash like this they are committing to not understanding the objective reality that they live in

Which means they will never be able to find solutions

I'm not defending Trump's mental fitness. He's old and incredibly unhealthy but he is definitely not psychotic and neither are his supporters

people who think any of this is inexplicable or impossible to rationalize (rational is not a fixed state, it's just how you explain why you do the things you do)

The violence of the Trump administration is the result of very intentional social conditioning

Even the extreme rare violent examples don't resemble anything Trump is doing

No one's getting beheaded on a Greyhound bus by someone who believes he's surrounded by demons

I am absolutely sure Trump and his enablers are not psychotic. They really aren't acting psychotic at all but the people who say shit like this have no real idea of what psychosis is or that it's a very low general threat

When the cops came for a "wellness check" I mostly tried to go back to bed. When they grabbed me to shackle me to a stretcher, I just went limp. No fight

Trust me if this was true they'd be easy to stop

While I was psychotic, I basically never left my bed because my heartrate was over 180 the entire time and while fully divorced from reality, I was mostly just exhausted

Stop stigmatizing mental illness to explain people you don't like

Exactly!! I'm so tired of people trying to "insult" fascists by comparing them to us, as if that doesn't just reveal their own attitudes about disabled people. You are not any different from fascists if you refuse to interrogate your own beliefs about disability.

but it would have been better for everyone politically in the long run

He didn't do anyone any favours by lying and clinging to power

it is hilarious that in 2026 people are still using that as a gotcha. The man is trash and was trash. If he had resigned as he should have. Gore would have become president and then would likely have won as incumbent against Bush

Not only was Clinton a predator

The fibre craft sector has been on this in general and I have deep respect

You know how dads sometimes show embarrassing photos during their kids wedding receptions?

Well the kids need an event to humiliate their parents for all their weird posts that mention them

My doctor’s appointment is so late because a woman with open sores all over her legs who has been instructed that she needs to go to the hospital refuses to leave until she sees the doctor I’m waiting for

Didn’t we get over this with JFK?

I learned while preparing this story that research watchdog Retraction Watch no longer recommends going to publication editors or authors about research misconduct.

Instead, they suggest going straight to the employer institution’s research integrity office. 2/
