Bog Witch

Anyone else get turned off their fave podcasts when forced to listen to constant Shopify ads? Drinking my coffee waking up and bam, folksy music and quaint makers peddling Canadian Elon Musk's cute little company that would love to strip me of voting rights. So cute, so folksy. Barf.

Big mad: "Canadians want to know, how does awarding this contract to a foreign owned corporation with those ties [to ICE] instead of a Canadian owned institution supporting veterans square with the Liberals' Canadian promises," Johns said in the House during a debate on military procurement"

This isn’t just an academic conversation anymore, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes. Right now, it’s a test of whether people are willing to make sacrifices in the name of their country’s sovereignty and independence, and many — too many — of our leaders are failing it.

Once again, for the politicians, business leaders, and journalists still actively posting on X/Twitter: why? You're using a platform that's owned by someone who's trying to break up your country. The juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Makes me think of "Lovecraft Country". How I'd struggled with the rich white woman going from helping to hurting the black women. Hadn't truly understood the idea of White Feminism until then (yes, I am naive). Anyhoo Kelly is that type of woman. She'd happily make any of us her blood sacrifice.

How does the world watch the ruin that is Trump and think "yeah, let's do that".

First of all, style!?!? He looks like Yurtle the Turtle all grown up. Second, @nytimes.com I care about him sending push notifications to teens showing them how to mutilate, starve, and kill themselves. This fluff is image laundering bile.

“What are the names of the ICE agents who killed our dad? Why do they get to be protected?” #AbolishICE

Listening to the 404 Podcast talk about Open AI internal emails casually admitting to scraping the NYT. Never thought about it until the guest compared how the book was thrown at kids using Napster vs. the courts shrugging off tech oligarchs stealing creative content and labour.

Macklemore "every child deserves to live" Ed Sheeran "this is hurtful to a lot of people"

9/11 victim Michael Massaroli’s son: "You do my dad's legacy & the legacy of all victims no honor using this tragedy to spread hate. I've had to spend 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers & sisters, people who don't look like them."

Nailed it

Even the crickets were embarrassed.

Big Oil knew decades ago that burning fossil fuels would lead to "globally catastrophic" climate change, but instead spent billions burying the science, promoting climate denialism, and blocking the transition to cleaner energy sources. These lying corporations must be held accountable.

A gem at the county fair art show. 🎨

"Am I joke to you, Sharon??"

The United States is taking aim at Canada once again, with a crushing new set of tariffs. Ultimately, government will need to solve this. But in the same way Canadians are avoiding US alcohol, produce, and other goods, they should get off US tech products too. Luckily, I have a guide for that.

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

"I was not shocked that he helped somebody. My shock is that he was murdered. And no one has given us the complete truth or anyone has been held accountable. And it's been 7 months! ... there was more effort in vilifying him than pursuing justice" -- Alex Pretti's parents

How apropos

If you travel to the states right now for anything but work or a funeral, you're a total hoser bud.

I just saw a dog wearing a leash that said “Selectively Social” and now I need to find a necklace version of it for myself.

I'm a homebody without a home. This introvert can only exist in the sun for so long, I need a cave dwelling full of plants and animals to melt back into. My small talk will soon be reduced to hissing.

Ontario Conservatives are holding high speed rail hostage because their feelings are hurt over Billy Bishop. So once again the needs of an elite few will trump projects meant to benefit many. All so rich folks on small jets don't have to mix with the plebes at the regular ol' airport.

Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam or Alice in Chains.

Feeling so angry listening to modern takes on perimenopuase, knowing there is help that every provider refused me. My partner dismissing that lack of health support: "it's not a physical change, it's mostly in your head". Just suffer, don't sleep but work, raise a family, & don't forget to smile.

There's a lot going on in my life, tumultuous times. The one steady is all my critters. 3 cheers for pets! Happy Caturday.

Susan Collins voted to give ICE and CBP $70 billion. She owns the consequences of that vote.

The hits keep coming!

Good things come in three's ... tik tock!

Indeed. We are not forcing upon Graham the memory of him being a villain, a coward, and a malignant presence in the country; that was the legacy he chose again and again. He earned our contempt, as has everyone else on his path.

We can laugh at you in court or we can laugh at you when you die. Im sorry but those are the options. None of the ghouls are outliving all of us

Two year anniversary of when I first posted this comic

Doug Ford is on vacation until Oct. They sat in the legislature for a whole 30 days.
