Calling it now. All of Trump’s nominations get confirmed. The Senate bends the knee. If people elected a rapist, convicted criminal, and fraudster why in the flying fuck would they care about about a guy who fucked teenagers, a guy who hates vaccines and a gal who is likely in Putin’s pocket? 😒

I want so badly to enjoy mobile games but the ecosystem they occupy apparently forces them into being annoying to play unless you are constantly purchasing magical coins at bizarre denominations that I refuse to understand.

We are being conned on a mass scale.
“A digital marketing firm abroad ran two of the largest anti-vax, pro-trucker groups, feeding disinformation into the movement while posing as grassroots supporters. Foreign propaganda is threatening our democracy.”

Pierre Poilievre’s rage-baiting and empty slogans aren’t what Canada needs
Canada risks electing dubious Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre based on little more than catchy slogans and voter fatigue.

Playing jackbox games and gartic phone as a family with my teenage kids is always an experience. Their sense of humour is definitely different than ours. But it’s one of the times they ENJOY spending time with us so I’ll take the W when I can.

Anyone who chooses party over constituents should be absolutely ashamed. Although I suspect shame is not something most conservative MPs feel these days.
Poilievre has prohibited his MPs from doing anything to support applications for Accelerator Fund applications in their respective ridings, despite the fact that the fund is pouring millions of dollars into communities across the country. www.brandonsun.com/opinion/2024...

Rustad and Poilievre are now in lockstep against Justin Trudeau’s “weirdo socialist interventions” to force hardworking families to eat bugs

This is over my head. But since I’m not going to “do my own research” I’ll trust that if scientists say H5N1 isn’t looking like a virus we want to fuck with… I’ll go ahead and take their word for it.

The preliminary sequence from the H5N1 human case in British Columbia has been posted and it is not good news. The virus potentially has a quasispecies at HA residue 226 (H3 numbering). This is bad news because we know that mutations at residue 226 can increase binding to human receptors. 1/

Anyone else just sick and tired of being told to meet horrible people “halfway”?
Can we be done with that now?
It’s so alienating in this day and age to be told you should REALLY listen to those who get their information from fee-fees and troll farms.

A very wise college professor once told me:
If you don't know what kind of day you're going to have until you know another person's mood, leave that boyfriend, leave that boss, leave that wife.

Do not EVER, no matter what gender you are, let a man or a woman tell you the limits of what you can do and who you can be.
That is the beginning of death.
NO ONE defines you but you. NO ONE gets to tell you who you are. NO ONE gets to defeat you before the battle begins.

Standard time can go burn in a pit fuelled by the heat of a 1000 suns. I will NEVER be okay with it getting dark at 4:30. Hoping red light therapy is a winner this year.
Still waiting for North America to finish tackling the real issue… abolishing standard time.
