While I agree, this is a list of professions people famously second guess and ignore.

Said post:

Instead they tried to avoid controversy by not forcefully saying what they were doing. And now they are denying their decision instead of defending it.

This game of reconciliation will they/won’t they is a product of years of kicking the can down the road

The fundamental problem with DRIPA - even before the important implementation issues that @khelsilem.bsky.social highlighted in a brilliant post the other day - is that the NDP wanted a performative win for the base without doing the hard work of explaining it to British Columbians.

Everyone is honking as they get off and cheering. Shared trauma is wild.

I would pay a $100 round trip toll for a bridge from Vancouver to the Sunshine Coast if it meant not being trapped by @bcferries.bsky.social (or, in this case, someone who has effectively hijacked the Queen of Surrey).

i think folks might be unfamiliar with "the pharisees", so let's make it clear: he's saying the jews run the press, and that they are conspiring to undermine the military. it's not just antisemitism, it's indistinguishable from nazism.

I’m sorry he got so blackout drunk they had to ask for SWAT door busting equipment?!

Also, hoping the lady who says Obama is guilty of treason, the guy who thinks Trump is Jesus, the lady sleeping with her security detail and who drinks on the job, and the guy who harvests raccoon penises will vote the president mentally unfit for office doesn't seem like the soundest strategy.

The reason you liked Daenerys and then were horrified by what she did is because you're Dragon MAGA, sorry, they got you, they fooled you, that was the point, they did it to me too and more power to them

Exactly one year ago today:

Leo, the first pope to be a member of the Augustinian religious order inspired by the saint, traveled to Algeria to visit the site of ancient Hippo, the Roman city where Augustine was a bishop for 34 years. Celebrating Mass in the Basilica of St. Augustine in Annaba which overlooks the ancient site, the pope said "the guiding principle above all for Christians is charity!" Before becoming a bishop, Leo was head of the global Augustinian religious order inspired by the life and teachings of the saint; he wrote his doctoral dissertation on St. Augustine's understanding of authority. The pope has had a longstanding relationship with Augstine: His brothers attended an Augustinian high school in a Chicago suburb, where his mother worked as a librarian, and Leo himself attended an Augustinian-run minor seminary for high school in Holland, Michigan.

Hey jd I think the pope knows more about Augustine than you.

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.

Says a lot that the creative team running a TV comedy understands just war doctrine much better than the creative team running a superpower

The cucking of JD Vance escalates to levels scientists had previously deemed imposible.

Steamed Hams full transcript Well, Seymour, I made it- despite your directions. Ah. Superintendent Chalmers. Welcome. - I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon. - Yeah. Oh, egads! My roast is ruined. But what if I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking? Delightfully devilish, Seymour. Ah- Skinner with his crazy explanations The superintendent's gonna need his medication When he hears Skinner's lame exaggerations There'll be trouble in town tonight Seymour! Superintendent, I was just- uh, just stretching my calves on the windowsill. Isometric exercise. Care to join me? Why is there smoke coming out of your oven, Seymour? Uh- Oh. That isn't smoke. It's steam. Steam from the steamed clams we're having. Mmm. Steamed clams. Whew. Superintendent, I hope you're ready for mouthwatering hamburgers. I thought we were having steamed clams. D'oh, no. I said steamed hams. That's what I call hamburgers. You call hamburgers steamed hams? Yes. It's a regional dialect. - Uh-huh. Uh, what region? - Uh, upstate New York. Really. Well, I'm from Utica, and I've never heard anyone use the phrase "steamed hams. " Oh, not in Utica. No. It's an Albany expression. I see. You know, these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at Krusty Burger. Oh, no. Patented Skinner burgers. Old family recipe. - For steamed hams. - Yes. Yes. And you call them steamed hams despite the fact that they are obviously grilled. Ye- You know, the- One thing I should- - Excuse me for one second. - Of course. Well, that was wonderful.

No. Seymour. ! The house is on fire. ! No, Mother. It's just the northern lights. Well, Seymour, you are an odd fellow but I must say you steam a good ham.

Today is officially the 30th anniversary of Steamed Hams. On April 14, 1996, "22 Short Films About Springfield" aired for the first time!

The reverse, probably some things that people think shouldn’t be built in anybody’s back yard but also built.

Like daycares, apparently.

That’s defensible but may still be over restrictive.

Stopping concentration camps is on the short list of NIMBY causes I endorse.

If we decide to put up obstacles against floor crossing, should we also put up rules that require MPs to vote with their parties?

My first guess is that the Conservative caucus would have voted to eject them.

But if they then chose to join the Liberal caucus would that be bad?

If the Conservative proposal was in place, would they still be required to run in a by-election?

Thought experiment:

What would have happened if d'Entremont, Ma, Jeneroux and Gladu had remained Conservative MPs but started voting with the Liberals?

Péter Magyar, who unseated Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Sunday in a landslide, shared a bombshell with reporters that the outgoing leader had diverted taxpayer funds to bankroll the American Conservative Political Action Conference. trib.al/ct7GGV3

I like it!

Magyar’s speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: “He’s basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired.”

You might think he’ll claim Martin Luther was MAGA but he’s more of a Henry VIII guy who probably wishes he could have divorced the same way.

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the Pope.

Will Donald Trump end up creating more EV drivers than anyone else in history?
