Trump Is Said to Be in Talks to Send Afghans Who Aided U.S. Forces to Congo

once again the US government does not keep its promises and can never be relied on

cash up front, always

New cabinet looks very similar to old cabinet. But Ian Fucking Lafrenière at deputy Premier is a surprise. I guess it's a reward for supporting her early.

I saw that start of that video and I thought to myself two things a) why are you poking the bears? b) Man this guy is about to get hit.

This is why, more and more, even though it's really slow for me, I'm only discussing quebec politics in French (my written French is bad/slow).

Welp I guess I'm never flying again.

I am in a meeting with my (soon to be not) boss, my colleague and a guy from IT. My boss has never worked in higher ed, my colleague is a ... pedantic goof. This is hard.

How you gonna have that many tattoos and still be scared of needles.

Every single city that is hosting any of the world cup games is discovering that it's a horribly shit deal. The only people who should try to do so are those who have preexisting, FIFA level football stadiums that are in/close to a downtown core. Everyone else should not bother.

Plus handling the jandal. (honestly, we're into stereotype land now)

Armies famously throughout history never suffered from ailments or contagious diseases that reduced their efficiency. 👀

@self.agency your plugin is very very cool

Y'all I made my first two major purchases for my bakery.

A convertible refrigerator/freezer and a Bosch mixer with an extra bowl.

I'm excited. I'm also a nervous wreck.

Test test ... well fuck me that works NICE ONE @self.agency

Trying to explain St Augustine to the pope, the former head of the Augustinian order, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Augustine, on his way back from celebrating mass at the Basilica of St Augustine in Annaba, Algeria, overlooking the site where Augustine lived is peak Adult Catholic Convert.

Peter Thiel Has Wanted To End Politics For A Long Time If the tech fascists can't escape the annoyance of politics, they would like to end politics altogether

Silicon Valley tech fascists' drive to be done with politics animates everything they do today. Peter Thiel has been daydreaming for decades about an escape from politics. I wrote about it for BadFaithTimes.com.

It feels like coffee time.

The union has been begging them to build more package handling facilities, to diversify their offerings (bank, internet, ANYTHING) and management, the tippy top of which are all political appointees (and on the board of Purolator) have fucked it up.

That's it? $6.1B in eight years? We gave Ukraine $25B in four and didn't even get daily mail out of it.

I've been going really badly for about 3 weeks. Wound up with a sinus infection.

And the importance of Monique and her judgements. And the Sacred Blowing on The Pies.

Oh, the laundry.. fuck me

Anyway, it's now just gone 6:30. I've made lunch for everyone, tonight's dinner, so that I am not cooking tonights dinner when I need to be cooking tomorrow's dinner (and probably Thursday's). Meanwhile Chris is up to her ass with work and yeah. FUCK ME.

She may be old. She may be teeny now. She may sleep more than she's awake. But holy fuck when she deems it time for us to start attending to her she is so so loud.

By "god willing" I of course mean "metro the cat"

So today is a shit show and it's not even 6. Yesterday was a shit show. Sunday was busy, but not a shitshow. Tomorrow and Thursday will be shitshows, but Thursday with Chris teaching and me going to a show. Friday? Maybe not a shit show? Saturday is haircuts and, GOD WILLING some sleep.

I'm from Canada and lived in Aotearoa for 6 years, and, like an idiot, follow along with politics from there, here, the USA (more by force majeur than wanting to), and the UK and a bit of Aussie and they do it everywhere.

Chris, you shall be visited by three spirits. The first spirit is the ghost of caucus past.

Shhh. The first rule of holes is when you’re in one stop digging.

That was for you.
