In winter lone shopping trolleys form groups for warmth and protection. The alpha trolley, seen at the centre with double child seats, will lead the group. A younger line trolley can be seen on the left, it can take days to be accepted by the group.

PSA dudes: if you genuinely want women to believe you when you claim to be “one of the good ones” you should probably be backing up your female colleagues when they ask a genuinely important question and get back “quiet piggy” in response

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.
They should feel bad.

Nova Scotia - a province known for endless rainy days & many bountiful rivers & lakes - is into its 4th month of extreme drought. This is the French River, that provides Tatamagouche with water (or not). Climate crisis kicking in. But: let’s frack and clearcut anyway, says NS Premier Tim Houston.

To spell some shit out unambiguously: fascism requires domestic abuse to propagate itself. Demands it. There is no way to humanely teach your children that might makes right. There is no way to gently love a spouse you think is your genetic intellectual inferior.
These are inextricably linked.
These are inextricably linked.

People who are against universal basic income just want to make sure someone always has less than them, is 'beneath' them. It's the same mentality as those boomer FB replies of 'I had it hard, why shouldn't you'. When we alleviate poverty and struggle, everyone is better for it. It lifts us all.

No one hates white men, they hate entitlement, misogyny, homophobia, racism, a lack of anger management, petty grievances, gatekeeping and aggressive control. If white guys keep insisting on making those flaws *their very identity* there will be pushback from people defending themselves 🤷♂️
"White" and "male" are the only demographic categories you're sort of allowed to be bigoted against. The argument for it is some combination of taste-of-your-own-medicine and "they're hegemonic so what's the harm".

Just spitballing here, but cryptobros throwing sex toys at WNBA players on the court and other cryptobros and male sports commentators calling it funny and telling the women and their coaches to 'lighten up' both explains the 'male loneliness epidemic' and why I don't care about it.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Substack doesn't just let Nazis turn a profit. Now, it’s promoting Nazi content, swastikas and all. That’s not just a shift in platform policy. It reflects a shift in our broader social landscape.

It's Apple Blossom Weekend (parade, fireworks, family events) here in the Annapolis Valley and that always means either torrential rain or blazing, unbearable heat. This year, we're doing the rain, apparently. Plus thunder and lightning.

A lot of the political rhetoric around appealing to young men boils down to reinforcing a hierarchy where white men benefit from the unrecognized and unpaid labor of women and other marginalized people on their behalf. That hierarchy still exists but anything that threatens it must go

I see once again I’m going to have to beg pundits who haven’t lived outside of Toronto in decades to stop opining on how useful Canada Post is.
I don’t care how little you personally get or send mail. A public postal service with a mandate to get mail to every address in Canada is a public good.
