I was working on and sounding the warning about this HOW many years ago? At least 25. Sigh.

3. Is he doing things I don’t like? Yes. Do I think things in Canada would be a shitload worse every which way with Pee Pee in charge? Yes, yes, yes.

2. I joined the Liberal party early this year so I could vote for him as leader for one reason and one reason only: he was our best shot at avoiding the appalling possibility of Prime Minister Pee Pee. He succeeded in that, thank you very much.

There’s a lot of Carney this/Carney that doing the rounds on social media - accusations that he’s not doing one thing or another that I do not remember him promising to do. I certainly wasn’t expecting a socialist paradise coming out of his election.

Congratulations, #BlueJays! This is a moment in Canada beyond baseball. The idea of the "51st state" team winning the World Series seems like a perfect middle finger to the #TangerineWankmaggot

Of course this will involve besting the Dodgers and that ain’t gonna be easy. But let's give it a go!

Beginning first leg of sad trip to England for the funeral of my lovely cousin Lauren. Ferry, ferry, plane, plane, train. Gonna be a long, long couple of days.

This is exactly what I was thinking last night (when I was watching Kimmell on YouTube (props to De Niro, by the way). The only way to get to Sinclair/Nexstar is through their advertisers.
If your local ABC station is owned by Sinclair/Nexstar (as mine is), you can't watch Kimmel’s return on TV tonight. Now would be a great time to do this ⬇️ - I did a bit before, but will be making a full list Fri/this weekend of who advertises on my local station's news, so I can call them next week.
I've seen a few folks suggest this: you look up which stations in your area are Nexstar or Sinclair (both pressured ABC), watch that local news, see who advertises, & call them to say you don't patronize businesses that support that company.

This guy was a career TV meteriologist & he says do it.

Let's hope MAGA heads don't remember this. (Probably doesn't matter if they do, as Michael Moore is a pinko, so they'd never watch it.)

I wish the media would stop referring to Kirk as a "right-wing activist" and start referring to him (if they have to) as what he was - a misogynistic, homophobic, white supremacist, religious fundamentalist. Good on The Nation for calling this out. #charlieprick

Big news of my day is that the new Mick Herron is out! Sounds like a book about Washington, DC at the moment, but isn't.

Okay, I confess, I had somehow almost forgotten about BlueSky. Must try to do better.

Part 3: Whilst it may indeed reflect what Pee Pee thinks, he’s not dumb enough to say so in public. So, of course, I had to start digging. I don’t know if this is a deliberate attempt to make @charlieangus104.bsky.social look bad or just a fuck up. Whatever. Please factcheck, people.
Supposed quote from Poilievre on joining Trump's war against 'woke, leftist ideology' is a fake
In April, an image claiming to quote Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's comments on U.S. President Donald Trump's November 2024 election win spread on social media. According to the supposed quote...
