I am seeing some AI-generated Liberal boomer memes in my feed and I’m feeling guilty about blocking those users.
But not too guilty! I don’t care if you’re a 70-year-old Facebook grandma: don’t use the tools of the fucking enemy.

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Got my immunizations yesterday. Felt okay last night but this morning I feel like I have been hit by a mid-sized sedan.
Time for Tylenol and more sleep, I guess.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Consider this in the context of oppression.
For a white person to perceive that racism has increased, racism has to have *greatly* increased.
For a man to perceive an increase in misogyny, it had to have gotten fucking nightmarish
For a cis person to perceive more transphobia, it's genocide.

The Weber-Fechner Law of psychophysics: your perception of senses is logarithmic, not linear.
It all works like decibels, basically. A sensation has to be much stronger for you to feel it has doubled, than twice as strong.

Canada has just lost measles elimination status. The U.S. will undoubtedly follow shortly.
Elimination means that there is no continuous spreading of measles within the country for a year or longer.
Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.

Please stop saying things like "We had to vote for Carney, it was the only alternative to PP".
It's just not true. In fact, that kind of thinking made and continues to make things worse.

I would go a step further even. The Irish cherish and protect their artists (even if they think the art is shite), while Canadians tend towards scorn and patronizing dismissiveness for our artists (even if we think the art is very good).
One of the most beautiful things about the Irish is their respect for the arts. You find live music at most bars, I went to a literary pub crawl & saw monuments & museums dedicated to writers, poets, musicians, etc.
They understand the value of supporting artists & I wish Canada did, too.
