“Carney’s official statement deserves to be read in full, slowly, with a beer, because underneath the diplomatic wallpaper it’s the most quietly savage document a G7 leader’s put out in years. It reads like a bank manager foreclosing on a bloke’s entire self-image & the bank manager is enjoying it.”

That’s a nice bit of writing. Also to my fellow Canadians living in the US: alpha tango 117-foxtrot, scenario Howe repeat Howe.

Genuinely great line from @nataliezed.bsky.social in Villain. Moustache-twerling evil-doers have their place, but I love me some villains that have depth, reason, and principles.
"I appreciate what you are saying. Genuinely. But I've run the numbers. I know what it will cost." He looked at me with deep pity, then. "Young lady. The devil's rates have never changed: everything you have, for everything you want. It's the fairest bargain there is, and anyone who says otherwise either expected to be able to cheat or never understood the deal to begin with."

so @josie.zone has asked me in passing to discuss the impact Star Wars has had on my faith, and I thought it would be neat to copy over a thread i wrote about this on Twitter a lifetime ago. Nearly a decade, even, since it was right after ep 8.

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%. While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired. Let's learn more. 🧵1/10
The image is a black-and-white political cartoon depicting a man in a suit standing behind a counter labeled "Republican Platform." He is holding a bottle labeled "Untaxed Whiskey, 20¢ Gal." in one hand and a piece of cloth labeled "War-Taxed Common Cloth, Tariff 84%" in the other. Above the counter, a sign reads, "If you don’t see what you want, ask for it." The cartoon, signed by W.A. Rogers, appears to satirize the Republican Party's economic policies, highlighting the disparity in taxation between luxury items like whiskey and essential goods like cloth.
