The similarities are numerous.

We have bits like Austin, bits like Houston, and bits like Waco at a very specific time. Our premier visited Abbott who likely encouraged her in this.

hasan makes an obvious joke and has generally good politics and the media is like we need to drown him to prove he's not a witch. meanwhile tucker carlson goes live and talks about how demons are real and one tried to eat him in his sleep once and the media is like he seems trustworthy

An American Mink - a glossy brown weasel with a white chin - looks to the camera surrounded by dry grass.

It was really nice to be rewarded with a great look at our #YYC neighbourhood American Mink. I've seen them (this one?) before but only distantly + their tracks in the snow.
This time, a rotting beaver corpse - rather than my sneakiness made this encounter possible. #mammals #wildlife

I put Claude in charge of my bodily functions and now I am pissing the bed and also shitting the bed

One of my more chilling experiences was trying to convince a pack of pre-meds that selectively aborting deaf fetuses was bad, actually. I pointed out that there’s a whole ass Deaf culture filled with independent, happy adults begging for such things to stop. And yet.

Following her logic, we would arrive at a point where as a population, we are not only VERY homogenous, but also unable to handle variation. It would be nothing but creepy cishet white people with Instagram face and Barbie doll proportions who panic when they see a freckle.

Selective abortion targeting traits that are socially frowned upon IS eugenics.

We have suppressed the reproduction of Black people, people with disabilities, and many others because “it’s a horrific way to grow up”.

The answer is making the world out of utero better. Obviously.

Trump’s FCC Wants Input on Whether ‘Transgender and Gender Nonbinary’ TV Programming Is ‘Appropriate’ for Children The FCC, led by Trump-appointed chairman Brendan Carr, wants feedback about whether the TV industry's voluntary ratings need to be tweaked -- specifically with regard to how shows with child-friendly ...

Seems bad that the Trump administration is trying to use the FCC to scare media companies into actively avoiding stories related to trans people, tbh.

Dear American internet users,

NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU.

Just because foreigners who ALSO SPEAK ENGLISH happen to have thematically similar things happening to them doesn't mean they're talking about you.

Like when Kenney replaced the ethics commissioner? Or was that Smith? Or was it the elections commissioner? I can't keep track.

Nepo baby sad.

Today Doug Ford called the people of Ontario dumb and embarrassing for being upset that he bought himself a $29M private jet.

Doug’s true colours come out when he gets mad. There is no one with more disdain for the people of Ontario than this shambles of a man.

Thank you. We're working on it.

A few of us did our best.

Uphill battle, though.

Someone tell the Americans in this guy’s replies that other countries exist and sometimes we go online and talk about stuff that happens there!

Politicians should never be allowed to make up the rules around voting. That would be exactly the same as allowing the players on the winning team to make up the rules while the game is being played. The consequences are far worse however.

didn't you put your phone in the pool because it was too hot or something?

so, to be clear: ICE has been doing neoStarlight Tours, if instead of taking natives a three hour walk out of town in -40° and ditching them there without their personal effects, to kill them, they drove folks hundreds of kilometers away and ditched them without their personal effects, to kill them.

Aaron Paquette is a city councilor in Edmonton.

Edmonton is in Alberta, Canada. This has nothing to do with states, or their recent elections on gerrymandering.

They are not.

You're replying to a post about Canada.

This is not about the US. It's about Alberta.

It's about a province in Canada.

That won't make a difference in Alberta, which is what this post is about.

Yeah, this post is about Canada.
