2025 was a dark year in many ways. Democracy and accountability are retreating. It was confirmed that the goals of the right are largely racist, bigoted, and focused on power and riches for the few at the expense of everyone else. Grim times.
But Joyce Carol Oates landed a killshot of Musk.

It's always a good day to write to your MP and demand that Postmedia receive no subsidies from our tax dollars. Why are we PAYING to have American conservatives lie to us for their benefit? It's fucking insane that media in this country has degraded this much.

Israel is banning Doctors Without Borders. Poilievre and every Canadian politician who still supports Israel needs to stop lying and honestly defend their horrible position.
Israel becomes the first country in the world to ban the humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders.

Why is Danielle Smith as bad as she is? Because our oil and gas companies are helmed by people who are nihilistically greedy and profoundly immoral. They set the agenda for her. And then, a core of bigoted evangelicals, who are both stupid and ignorant in equal measure, continue to support her.

Zionism is the single greatest threat to free speech in the western world today because of the way western governments and institutions have been aggressively stomping out criticism of Israel and anti-genocide activism since 2023 at the urging of Israel lobbyists.

I'm playing Cronos: The New Dawn and it's fantastic. It's the newest title from The Bloober Team and I love it so much. They manage to put so much atmosphere and narrative into their horror/thriller titles. I have played almost every Bloober Team release. This one, like most of the rest, is great.

We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.
We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

I have definitely been noting which Canadian politicians have been denouncing the Trump governments white supremacy and racism and which have not. The CPC and UCP are pivoting to bigotry hard. Too many of their followers get their media, and thus the racism, from American sources.

The principle gift that I bought my son for Christmas was all twelve volumes of Urasawa's 20th Century Boys, his favorite mangaka. But now I must find new manga for him. He's read Pluto and Monster. I must find New Manga, because that's what he loves.

Ellison and Weiss will destroy an important network and neither of them will care in the least. It would take a revolutionary, sustained effort, over years, for the US to recover from Trump.

When American corpses come back home from Venezuela, there will be no international support or mourning. The Americans have been heedlessly murdering Venezuelans for months now. When they, in turn, get killed, everyone will know that that is a just response.

Alan Dershowitz has lied for fucking years to defend Israel. He will unabashedly attack the survivors, BECAUSE HE DOESN'T FEEL BAD ABOUT ANYTHING HE DID.
Also, there was likely a connection to Israeli intelligence, so he's going to suggest that they should have been honored to be raped.

Old Dersh is big mad about all these so-called "survivors" going around telling terrible stories that no one should believe.
He seems to think they're the perpetrators rather than victims, and they only want one-sided transparency.
Very unfair to people like him.

I find people are confused by the Toronto Star these days. Most of them didn't register the sale in 2020, or underplayed the significance. Under new ownership, the Toronto Star became the new National Post, so Postmedia could move further right. They even hired the editor from the National Post.

If you're Canadian, write to your MP and Carney and ask if there is more we could be doing to help Israel murder babies and infants. Sure, we're facilitating them to have more vital weapons for child murder, but we're doing everything we can, behind the scenes, to continue supporting them.

One person who I really identity with is Erika Trump. When my mom died two years ago, the first thing that I did was slap on a gold suit, fire up the smoke machines and set off some fireworks before a raucous crowd. It's a little something called grieving.

When I was a kid, the first run of comics that I went out of my way to collect was the incredible Korvac run of the Avengers and the corresponding What If? issue. I was thinking about those comics yesterday and asked Microsoft Copilot about Korvac. It's the first time I have used it.
