I mean, while I cannot imagine ever achieving the level of self-loathing needed to outsource my prose to a toaster, every professional writer I know hates the act of writing at least some of the time.

I think if we don’t organize and get out on the streets to fight for local democracy in Ontario, we won’t have much left by the time of the next provincial elections

Here is the part that gets almost no coverage during Strait of Hormuz oil crisis conversations, because it requires understanding something most people are not informed about, almost every medicine you take has oil in it. Not crude oil you pour into a car. Petrochemicals.

Thanks to the US & Israel, global medicine prices will rise. The Persian Gulf is not just an energy chokepoint but a critical pharmaceutical transit hub, where drugs and their ingredients from India, Europe, and China routinely pass before heading to Africa, Asia, and America.

House Oversight Ranking Member Robert Garcia on Pam Bondi:

"She will not escape accountability and remains legally obligated to appear before our Committee under oath. She must answer for her mishandling of the Epstein files and the special treatment she has given Ghislaine Maxwell."

A reminder of what regional governments are responsible for in Ontario:

• Region-wide land use planning and development
• Policing
• Sewer and water systems
• Health services
• Social services
• Transit
• Arterial roads
• Waste disposal

Democracy is a big impediment to even worse corruption than Ford and his co-conspirators are already engaging in.

Ontario to build on ‘strong mayor’ system by appointing ‘strong’ regional chairs Ontario’s municipal affairs minister is proposing to appoint a slate of regional council chairs and give them additional powers, as the government has done with so-called strong mayors.

This is outrageous! By giving his government the power to appoint ALL regional chairs across Ontario, Premier Ford is effectively seizing control of regional governments.

School boards. Killing FOIs. And now, regional councils.

Ford is dismantling our democracy. www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...

After some reflection, I’ve decided to give up and become worse

has anyone let pam bondi know how high the DOW is? that always seemed to cheer her up

I feel like the nutcase who makes long, rambling videos calling Ms. Rachel evil probably shouldn't be invited on cable news, tbh

If you're so committed to publishing a diversity of viewpoints how come no one's ever writing, like, "wow the president is just a delusional, dying, old fuckin evil idiot ruining everything" i.e the plain truth that anyone can see

Ontario is underfunding public health care—and private health care is the beneficiary - CCPA $3 billion dollar funding gap drives privatization and downloads costs onto Ontarians

The Financial Accountability Office estimates that $6.4b in new spending is required in 2026-27 just to maintain 2024-25 service levels

But budget 2026 only adds $3.4b in additional spending, which leaves the health care system short by $3b

BREAKING: Fox News reports PAM BONDI HAS BEEN FIRED.

🚨 One year ago today: Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day” — aka the launch of his disastrous tariff plan that completely backfired.

Higher prices. Hurt economy. American families paying the price.

We need to focus on what really matters: the cost of groceries in the aisle.

Ouch… 🇺🇸❌

It’s really hard to argue with the data when it comes to Republicans and Democrats.

Was it good?

Many years ago I saw a restaurant on TV serving a specific dish and I said to myself someday I will visit that restaurant and eat that dish. Well jokes on you universe because I actually accomplished something in my life...today I am visiting that restaurant & eating that dish. 😤

He's yours now, no givebacks.

Just heard an interesting fact on MSNow.

Trump has an average unfavourably rating of minus 80% in Germany, UK, Spain, France etc.

Sort of makes sense that none of these countries want anything to do with this. It would be political suicide.

I just don’t think you need to love war crimes to be a real man.

🚨BREAKING: Pam Bondi to be named Assistant to the Regional Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas

Or accountability to anything or anyone. And to this day, I still can't believe that 78M voted for that absolute failure of a man to be president again

It's a rare time in history when I - a random schlub on the Internet - am as in-the-know about future American military activity as the president is.
