I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Second, contrary to the representations of the United States and the private plaintiffs there is no medical consensus on how best to treat gender dysphoria in children. Third, notwithstanding the alleged experts' view that young children can provide informed consent to irreversible sex-transition treatments, whether such consent is possible is a question of medical ethics that States must decide for themselves.

I mean... holy shit.
From Rasmus Jarlow, Danish politician: "I don't know if there is a kill switch in the F35's or not. We obviously can not take your word for it. As one of the decision makers behind Denmark's purchase of F35's, I regret it. The USA can certainly disable the planes by simple stopping the supply of spare parts. They want to strengthen Russia and weaken Europa and are showing that they are willing to do tremendous damage to peaceful and loyal allies like Canada just because they insist on existing as a country. I can easily imagine a situation where the USA will demand Greenland from Denmark and will threaten to deactivate our weapons and let Russia attack us when we refuse (which we will even in that situation). Therefore, buying American weapons is a security risk that we can not run. We will make enormous investments in air defence, fighter jets, artillery and other weapons in the coming years, and we must avoid American weapons if at all possible. I encourage our allies and friends to do the same."

BREAKING NEWS: Canadian Premier Wab Kinew of Manitoba MOCKS Trump by signing a “beautiful” order that officially removes ALL American liquor from Canadian stores in his province.

Donald Trump just caused massive economic damage to our country. How sad and embarrassing.

NYT wrote an article basically saying, "Canada doesn't export much fentanyl to the US and where it does, it comes in via the method pioneered by Trump pardon recipient Ross Ulbricht," only it doesn't mention Ulbricht.

It never mentions that fentanyl was a pretext.

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/w...
Screen cap reading: Canadian fentanyl that arrives in the United States tends to be sold on the dark web and shipped through the mail, Ms. Breton said. In one case last year, a 43-year-old man from Toronto was charged with about a dozen narcotics trafficking offenses, accused of sending packages of drugs containing small amounts of fentanyl to New Jersey, according to the U.S. attorney’s office there. Federal prosecutors called him a “prolific vendor of fentanyl on the Dark Net.” One gram of powder fentanyl can fetch up to 240 Canadian dollars on the street, or about $170, and pills can go for up to 40 Canadian dollars each, or $28, according to Canadian police. Editors’ Picks A 525-Pound Bear Found a Crawl Space That Was Jussst Right Inside a Rikers Island Kitchen, Dull Knives and Critical Jobs New Orleans Is an Oyster Town Like No Other The issue of drug shipments in mailed packages focuses primarily on China. A trade rule known as de minimis allows companies to ship packages from China worth less than $800 without paying duties, taxes and fees. Their contents do not have to be listed and are subject to fewer inspections. Last April, a report by the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party called for reforming the trade rule to address America’s vulnerability to drug trafficking through the mail. Mr. Trump signed an executive order on Saturday that removed the trade exemptions on those types of packages from China and Hong Kong. Canada’s main drug export into the United States is M.D.M.A., or ecstasy, according to a White House report in 2022 laying out the northern border counternarcotics strategy. with a pink label, "Insert mention of Ross Ulbricht pardon here" and an arrow pointing to the paragraph about a Toronto man sending fentanyl.

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.”

My observation from the pandemic about this is a lot of people claim to like science but show they really don’t when it inconveniences them. What they actually like is random science trivia (“Saturn has 146 moons!”) that doesn’t challenge their world views. 🧪

“Denmark prepares to defend itself against the US” is a headline I NEVER expected to see.

And seeing @cnn.com treat it like a reasonable policy debate rather than ABSOLUTELY FUCKING INSANE is beyond depressing.
