I wasn’t thrilled to hear the name of the composer of “Entrance of the Gladiators” pronounced “[ʤ]ulius Few-Chick,” but I wasn’t exactly surprised, either. On the other hand, I was both surprised and delighted to hear that he wrote it while serving in the “Astro-Hungarian” army.

I want this both for practical reasons (because they will govern very badly if elected) and for spiteful ones (because they are shitty people and deserve to suffer disappointment).

I’m getting e-mails from @ndp.ca with subject lines like “We’re sending billions to U.S. companies”. Now, I’m not a political advertising expert or anything, but I can’t help thinking it would be more effective if they said “The Liberal government is sending billions to U.S. companies”. 🤷🏼

What are they gonna do about it, reinstate Nixon as president? I don’t think that would be *good*, but it would certainly be an improvement (regardless of whether they also brought him back to life).

The DOJ is reviewing "whether the special prosecutor’s office that investigated the famed Watergate break-in committed misconduct, according to people familiar with the matter, more than half a century after that scandal led to Nixon’s resignation."

The NWMP was founded as a white-supremacist colonial force. It and its successors have always portrayed themselves as the good guys: they may confess the sins of previous generations, but they never question the legitimacy of the authority they wield now. bsky.app/profile/alin...
