Primarily noted for having a cat: However, I have also an additional cat. Otherwise disappointing. Aches, mostly.

In a desperate attempt to raise his poll numbers, and take a stand that the overwhelming majority of Americans agree with, Trump is now claiming he too hates Bill Maher.

JD Vance: "Gas prices are too high ... they skyrocket every time some tinpot dictator decides to throw a tantrum"

You know when a guy in a movie rolls a coin over his knuckles? Pretty cool, we all agree, but the coolness is diminished when you think about that dork practicing for hours

ive talked on how i wont engage with writers who use ai, i wont eat at a restaurant with an ai menu, i wont have anything to do with it. but what this post illustrates is regardless of how OTHERS react, ultimately the worst part about using ai is that you are punishing YOURSELF and dont even know it

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved public transit, not only did it TRANSFORM the city’s public life and economic success, but the car traffic got better. The car traffic got BETTER.

Now that Trump & Rubio are publicly targeting Cuba, here’s a reminder that Thiel Fellowship co-founder Michael Gibson & American Moment co-founder Nick Solheim presented a talk at Peter Thiel’s 2024 “Hereticon” event titled, “Manifest Destiny: Greenland, Cuba, & the New American Colony.” 1/

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

Albertans have officially voted not to hold a vote on whether they should leave Canada. But uh, they also narrowly voted *for* some really gross, anti-immigrant trash that looks to scapegoat migrants for problems they didn’t cause. So no to separatism, but yes to racism? Yikes:

Separatism "is a threat because it normalizes and scales up organizing for white supremacist, anti-immigrant policies, laundering them through western alienation. This referendum is a tool for demonstrating and building the far-right’s power and organizational capacity in Canada." #abpoli #cdnpoli

As Canada awaits the Alberta separation referendum results, let’s remember how stupid this all is. Huge public money spent on a Russian & American-fuelled separation movement for an awfully-written and badly managed unbinding referendum on whether to hold a binding referendum that would be illegal.

Octopus is the easiest thing to cut out of your diet on moral grounds because it’s basically never around, probably has dreams and emotions and tastes like a tire.

The key difference between Elizabeth Holmes and Elon Musk is that Holmes cost many in the ruling class a lot of money and Musk is making many in the ruling class a lot of money.

I was gonna say "how is it not illegal to promote your product with blatant lies like this" But then I remembered I just saw You Can See Everything, and like It very much is illegal So why is he not in jail like Holmes for his far more egregious and plentiful lies

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Everyone, please remember that Trumpian populism and contempt for institutions is the direct result of (warmonger and killer of universal health care) Bill Kristol's lifetime of work. No amount of whitewash can undo the damage he's done.

I acknowledge that this last action by our oligarchic overlords has sent my inner social democrat on a rampage. But history does suggests some social democracy is necessary to correct and save democratic capitalism.

The blame for having an incompetent press secretary rests solely with Donald Trump, not Katie Zacharia. She can’t help that she’s incompetent, *he* chose to appoint her anyway. Just like he chose to appoint incompetent Pete Hegseth and incompetent RFK Jr.

Elon Musk is basically pointing at Trump. He is obviously trying to protect Starlink from the economic fallout this incident created. With several European nations starting to question services by Starlink and India actively pushing back, this has become a serious problem for Musk and SpaceX.

Toronto bike lane removal. When your infrastructure project has huge police protection and the contractors hide the logos on their trucks and gear, you are in the wrong.

In the end, the lanes come out.
