Proud Canadian living in #LdnOnt. (see banner above)

Interested in SF, science, games both video and tabletop, a little bit of finance & economics, and alas US and Canadian politics because I have to. Used to write until I went broke trying.
I over-cooked the bacon for brunch a bit, which wouldn't be such a problem had my range hood suddenly decide not to work anymore *and* were my windows not frozen shut.

I'm hoping the smoke alarm doesn't sound; I'm still in PJs.

I would almost say, "I can't get even get mad, it's such a funny bit."

The problem is, we all know where this goes, and the answer is, "(((they))) did it"

Biden’s mangling of a few words was a major story. Trump’s public descent into full-blown dementia is not.

In this 4th Debunk of the Day, we’ll refute an absolute classic of vatnik BS, the crown jewel of peak dishonesty: whataboutism.
Now, not everything that looks like whataboutism is wrong. Seeking consistency or comparing actions or responses is normal.

And just to further put a point on it, this is very explicitly the point of militant nonviolent protest.

To demonstrate incontrovertibly to even the low info news consumer that agents of the oppressor are engaging in an entirely one-sided brutality against the vulnerable
So believe me I understand this is deeply frustrating and unfair, but a march that does everything right and still gets tear gassed is a successful march that is winning.

A lot of the strategy of protest is luring the authorities into engaging in obviously, transparently unjust uses of force.
It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

Bullies hate a fight, which is why they must be given one.
ICE/CBP want to terrify people into submission and compliance so that they can operate with impunity, unimpeded, in semi-secrecy. It is not working. In every urban center these masked goons descend upon, the local community is rallying in solidarity.

New in PN: Trump blames Canada

"It isn’t just Trump that Canada can’t trust. It’s us, the American people. Trump may have low approval now, but his numbers were even worse after J6 and we still returned him to power. At this point, no one can have faith that everything will go back to normal."
Trump blames Canada
And tears our closest international relationship apart.

I've stumbled upon a set of tracks from the #Dispatch OST and listened to enough of them that I think I'm almost obliged to pop onto Steam and upgrade to the "music and comics" tier.

Really looking forward to Season 2, AdHoc. youtu.be/ueq26JLmHfw

Most claims of free speech have always been "I am white and I want to be able to say the n-word and call people the r-word."

It is literally that simple.
I know it’s been said a million times but it’s pretty funny how many short king steroid comedians with corny ass manchild tattoos called themselves free speech warriors right up until the moment free speech was actually under attack.

It's crazy that if you have the first principle "human ethnic groups, physical differences aside, are not different in terms of mental capacity or 'inherent' personality traits" you are woker than 90% of the people who work for supposedly liberal media organizations.

Some were baffled when I said the CPC was perfectly happy with PP's leadership and would keep him, because he embodies their positions and he's core Reformer in a party where Reformers actively drove out Tories. #CdnPoli #CPCDelendaEst
So it appears the CONservatives have drunk the koolaid. It amazes me how high a man-child can rise while achieving absolutely nothing.
He has no security clearance. No plan except to tear the country apart. Only slogans and smirks. Good grief. 🙄

The grift continues …
