Oh, you’re in for a treat!
Same. It took me a couple episodes, but then I was all in. Season 2 is sooo good. How far in are you?
So, uh, are we protesting? What’s happening? I will fully admit to not being capable enough to organize, but I’d like to join the party. This shit cannot abide.
“The Tonight Show is built to liquify all phenomena into content.”
This is a perfect sentence.
Want to feel better about life? Watch the live action One Piece on Netflix. It’s, weird, beautiful, fun, and full of heart.
Munetaka Murakami has three home runs at 113+ mph already

Lesser Slave Lake is one of the two ridings in the province that exist despite not having enough people to justify it. It’s in his own best interest to play nice with the government on this one. Otherwise they could gerrymander him out of job.
Totally. “Yeah, it’s terrible.” From people who could and should be doing something to fight it.
Agreed.
It's the democratic equivalent of lead in the drinking water. The longer we wait to remove it, the more lasting the damage will be.

Of course they are concentration camps. And @anatosaurus.bsky.social is right that once you accept the euphemism you are halfway to normalizing the thing.
I still can’t get past the assassination attempt in Butler. I have to accept that it was legit, but i really don’t want to.
Love this. Basically, “why should we trust anything you say?”

You were so good at taking our money

Ignored scientific evidence? The UCP? No way.
Agreed, and it’s 100% the latter.
“Many of our former strengths, based on our close ties to America, have become weaknesses — weaknesses that we must correct."
That was the Prime Minister, yesterday.
Today one of his parliamentary secretaries is bragging about how much foreign money is coming in from the U.S. 🤷🏼♂️
Another disgraceful decision made by current U of A leadership. They will move on, but alumni, Edmontonians and Albertans have to live with these bad choices forever. Enough destruction of our heritage and history.

I mean, seriously, how can our political class be so devoid of ideas and inspiration? At this point I think I’d prefer sortition.
I very much feel this way about the state of Canadian politics.
good luck, babe.
Apologies if it’s been shared already, but this clip of Andrew Garfield really helped me when I was going through a death in my family.

She can’t even do this correctly. We should move to standard time, not daylight savings. 🙄
Absolutely incredible.
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.
Watch with sound on.
"(Here in Canada) oil and gas, which is largely foreign-owned, largely U.S.-owned, aren’t doing their part. (Instead)...increasing our emissions and ...demanding that Canadian taxpayers pay the bill for cleaning up the pollution they cause and building pipelines they won’t risk their own money on.”
"Secretary Kennedy’s unlawful declaration harmed children,” the Judge wrote.
“This case highlights a leader’s unserious regard for the rule of law...
