Elephant and Rabbit sitting on a bench with a sunset. Elephant asks rabbit 'What do you miss?' Rabbit replies 'I miss the way I viewed the world before I knew too much about it.'

The Ford government already eliminated rent control for buildings built after 2018. They are now taking steps to eliminate rent control in Ontario altogether. This is shameful and disgusting given the affordability crisis that so many people are facing.

38 years ago (Oct. 9th, 1987), "The Princess Bride" was released! I grew up on this beloved movie, and like most people my age, I've seen it countless times and re-watch at least once a year with my daughter - she can almost quote it line by line: "Anybody want a peanut?"

How conservatives think. (Alt text could not fit all so will finish it off in a reply text below)
Text: "Well yeah. Morality and Legality aren't things you do, they're things you are. For conservatives, people are born into strict hierarchies that cannot and must not change. Immigrants, queers, Antifa, atheists, whatever you category you want, are all just types of people. Something you do, actions you take, they don't matter. They don't change inborn characteristics for conservatives. It's a completely different way of interpreting reality than the rest of us. For you and me, and MOST people, doing good actions makes you good and doing evil makes you evil. That's not how these people operate though, it's now how their brains interpret the world. For them, actions have no moral quantity; people do. People are inherently good or inherently evil, their actions have no bearing on that whatsoever. When you start seeing it that way, everything they do makes more sense. The neighbors kid who raped a drunk girl? He's a 'good kid'! He just made some mistakes! Pastor raping kids? He's 'good', he was just tempted by the devil! In their mind, they are GOOD™, their friends and family are GOOD™, their religion is GOOD™. Nothing can change those qualities, as they are inborn facts of the universe. Some other person? They are not GOOD™. They never were and they never can be. There's no action that anyone does to change whether they are GOOD™ or not. See, start to apply this to their whole framework, and it really makes sense. You ever notice how much we point out their hypocrisy, they don't see to care? There is no hypocrisy. It doesn't exist for them, how could it? to be a hypocrite you have to say you believe one thing but then do actions that are the other. That literally cannot happen if actions have no bearing on morality. No, in fact, hypocrisy us actually a sign of strength, it's power. The GOOD™ are powerful for their ability to do something that pisses off their enemies. Of COURSE their own abortion was moral. (continued in external text reply)

Picture of two kids sighing on the end of a dock with feet in water looking at a lake. Words in Sky say Summer Vacation. The End. With some credits (partially hidden) rolling like a movie. 'Fun - swimming in a pool. Adventure - Building a tree fort. Relaxation - Lying in a hammock. Excitement...'

LAW OF THE LAND The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and in any statute, to be valid, must be in agreement. It is impossible for a law which violates the Constitution to be valid. This is succinctly stated as follows: "All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void." Marbury vs. Madison, 5 US (2 Cranch) 137, 174, 176, (1803) MAKE THIS GO VIRAL

Minecraft creator Markus “Notch” Persson has weighed in on the Stop Killing Games campaign, calling out the gaming industry’s push toward digital licenses over true ownership. In a bold statement on social media, he argued that if players don’t actually own the games they buy, then pirating them can’t be considered theft.

Laura Loomer: Alligator Lives Matter. The good news is, alligators are guaranteed at least 65 million meals if we get started now. Chai Dingari: it only took 294 days to get from "immigrants are eating animals" to "we will feed immigrants to animals"

In Vancouver, they changed the street name to a lengthy indigenous one. A reporter asked "How are we supposed to learn to pronounce it?" An Indigenous leader replied "The same way we did learning English, except we won't beat you when you get it wrong." Ouch. Touche buddy, touche.
