Sorry, I had thoughts.

It's the BC Conservatives Quick Survey: Who will you vote for?

Reply
1-Conservative
2-NDP
3-Green
4-Unsure

I'll vote for a pack of rabid raccoons in a trench coat before I ever vote conservative. I'll vote for a corpse before I vote conservative. I'll vote for a ficus before I vote conservative unless that ficus is also conservative at which point I'd vote fern.

The Canadian House of Commons is no model of decorum, but if an MP were to call someone a dirtbag, they would be summarily ejected by the Speaker. That sort of unparliamentary name-calling seems to be routine in American politics. It’s just a crasser culture, I guess.

And you know if they had actually succeeded in making products that broadly improved the lives of anyone outside software engineering they might have gotten away with it! Instead it's been "now your potato peeler costs $15 more because it has AI, use it or we'll shoot this puppy"

I think this is the mistake a lot of nominally anti-American political movements are making right now, and it’s one reason why I’m willing to forgive our current gov’t for a lot. They get that the Americans WANT a world where everyone is bunkered down and spurning trade and multiculturalism.

People keep going on about media failures, how they didn't cover this or that, as though there is still an authoritative set of institutions called the "news media" whose reporting commands public attention and can stop government in its tracks. No there isn't. You're thinking of the 20th century.

@rawstory.com *hates* Trump, and who in their right mind doesn't? But everything it reports is torqued to make you feel better in your hatred of Trump. In the narrative spun by Raw Story, Trump is always panicked, it's all about to come crashing down. It is not a reliable source of political news.

Sure, but what did Xi say in response? "No thanks, we're good." Or, "Why buy when we can get them for free when you transit them through Hong Kong?" Or, "We're waiting for the end-of-the-empire close-out sale, when Everything Must Go."

Mr. Poilievre is lip syncing to Quavo, who has a new album coming out, QRÖMELIFE. I'm sure Quavo will be thankful for the boost. This isn't going to undermine his street cred in any way.

A lot going on in this photograph. Trump is grimacing and at the same time saluting. He is showing his teeth and narrowing his eyes. He is either wincing in pain or exceptionally angry, while Xi looks like, yea, whatever. Now look at the women immediately behind them, their faces partially obscured.

Chinese media is having a blast.

China pulse • • @Eng_china5 • 11h
Trump was eagerly waiting for Xi Jinping's reaction to the military parade held especially for him. He couldn't hold back and asked: "What do you think?"
Xi Jinping replied that it was "great" and gave a thumbs-up
Then China's First Lady, Peng Liyuan, added: "It's amazing."
Trump looked visibly relieved, even touching the buttons on his suit in excitement over the praise.

Two thing can be true. The WH kicking out media it doesn’t like is absolutely a First Amendment violation. And There is little journalism of value to be found in the highly controlled, substance-free halls of power—wall-to-wall navel-gazing about one’s access probably being of the least value.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Useful context for Alberta’s anti-inmigrant referendum questions. We are not being “flooded” with newcomers. And scapegoating immigrants for longstanding structural problems with our public health care system, in particular, is gutter politics. #cdnpoli #abpoli #notothenine.
