By the way, the attacks keep coming, every other day, so we're continuing to fight.

They're shooting reporters now. They're no better than the IDF.
Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

So now Fox News has discovered Danielle Smith’s “sovereignty” manoeuvre.
Because of course they have.
A reminder: the people behind this stupidity are the *same* ones as were behind the convoy, yellow vests, & other far right stupidity.
You know, traitors. Trumpists.
And Smith’s core supporters

We should, collectively, as a society, respond to any talk from the right about the election being stolen, with an emphatic "Only an idiot would believe that".
Don't entertain their bullshit arguments, just repeat the line above.
And to be clear, I'm talking about Canada's 2025 federal election.

Politics is more clear when you remember that the "waste" in "government waste" is the profit that some rich asshole isn't making off labor in the public sector whose only purpose is the common good.

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

I saw the Kanye ad yesterday (it aired in the Philly market, where we were) but didn't click on the link.
Today I found out it went to a website selling swastika T-shirts.
This was a Superbowl ad.
And it was to a website selling swastika T-shirts.
I feel like I'm losing my mind.
