You know, for a long time I thought that Brexit was going to be the biggest self-own in the 21st century.
Then the USA elected Donald Trump for a second term. Their pain is only just beginning, and I don't see any route to recovery.

ICE are committing domestic terrorism in the United States.
It's remarkable that the media is allowing the fascists to describe events as if the innocent victims of government-sponsored terrorism are responsible for the violence that ended their lives.
Fuck ICE. Fuck Trump. And fuck the […]

Anyone have any pointers as to why search-based columns (i.e. #cdnpoli) in my mastodon deck layout don't automatically update? I'm pretty sure they used to, but haven't since version 4.3...

I used up my seven day free trial at the start of 2025, and so to participate in 2026 I had to hand over my credit card number....
They really bury the cancellation options. I still haven't found them.

So fucking ironic to have the Fraser Institute reporting about the continued drop in charitable giving by Canadians, following decades of promoting low taxes so people can "direct their money to their personal causes and values".
Turns out that a low-tax environment increases wealth disparity […]

How do I know?
Because being anti-fascist has become illegal.
We needed to have been punching a lot more Nazis for a much longer time.

Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends and allies.
Today is a good day to throw off the yoke of fascism that your administration is placing on you and the world.
That said, every day will be a good day, but none so good as yesterday. Get busy.

Every single man can say "I have had a vasectomy" and be respecting one of these celebrations.
Men, don't lie about your vasectomy status. Find fun false confessions instead.

I'm always amazed at how many pardons are given to people about whom the man pardoning them says "did nothing wrong".
Surely, in that case, no pardon is required, or even relevant.
And, yet, they are pardoned.
That seems more of a recognition of illegality than a confirmation of innocence […]
