Past conservatives devoted enormous energy to downplaying America’s history of brutal imperial expansion.
But in the second Trump administration, the New Right is doing something different: it’s openly celebrating and seeking to revive it.

New #LUCYLETBY Netflix doc is badddd, bad, bad. That goes without saying — about the crimes. But it must be said about the doc itself. Even taking Netflix’s quantity over quality approach to true crime docs, this is a poor exploration not just of the criminal but of the crime. Check the shift sched.

If you have thoughts about #Bluejays putting up a Joe Carter statue (and the Ted Rogers statue being moved), please email them to deepleftfield@thestar.ca to get on tomorrow's episode of Deep Left Field.
But do it now!

#THEHOUSEMAID has the same kind of specific in-logic that only works for the unhinged inside the movie, a lot like the 90s Michael Douglas thrillers (compliment) it owes credit to.

The argument FOR the F-35s is that 1. They're better, and 2. That they're better matters because Canada is in a uniquely dangerous period in its history. ...But the reason it's dangerous is, in part, due to the United States, who are the sellers of the F-35s.
