Cursing is rarely a symbol of low class. It's often a mark of high authenticity.
Evidence: Swearing predicts higher rates of honesty and integrity. It signals a willingness to prize candor over courtesy.
A little profanity can show that you're being real and you do give a damn.

For those with questions about the Ostrich cull, please read this thread.
As the accursed ostrich situation continues to get simultaneously more stupid and gravely serious, I decided to write up a very long analysis of many of the key issues. Bottom line: so long as this flock lives, it is a threat to Canada's national security. 🧵

PoiLIEvre's true colours! It just keeps getting deeper and deeper. Security! Call Security! ❤️🇨🇦
Poilievre once called Ezra Levant his “mentor.” CBC reporting shows their long ties — while Poilievre keeps turning up with extremists and white nationalists.
This is why he wants CBC gone: public journalism exposes what he’d rather hide.

it's not just that 450+ people were kidnapped from the Hyundai facility in Georgia this morning- it's that the vast majority were employees that had been vetted by the E-Verify program by the same shits that took them.
the rest were employees of Hyundai from So Korea, here on work visas.

Honestly, greed doesn’t self-regulate, it just hoards.
We put income caps on disabled people to keep them in poverty, why not flip that logic and cap obscene wealth?
A wealth cap, limits on assets, a ceiling on how much one person can pile up. Nobody needs billions.
