They sent the ceasefire terms to the Pakistani President for him to copy and paste. To put it in Trump terms, he begged for it like a dog.

If Doug Ford saw this, you think he’d have an “Aha” moment and reverse his car first insanity?

That falls flat frankly. You guys voted him in twice. Accept personal responsibility- your country did this to the rest of us.

Me too. My dogs think I’m 90% perfect, except when I snap one treat in two and give them a half each. That’s the 10% right there.

Is his condition “he has a few a few minutes to live”? Because that’s the condition I’m looking for.

There's no artist in my lifetime I've followed closely (except maybe Beck?) who has a higher batting average than Fiona Apple.

He won the tech lottery at 28 when he sold Netscape to AOL for billions and has been convinced of his own genius ever since. The irony is, all of the development was government funded, (Mosaic was a government project), that he monetized via a rebrand. He’s a product of the welfare state

My thoughts exactly. What do we have to do with any of this? “Typical” how?

“I’m glad he wasn’t seriously hurt,” is not the qualifier I would have put on this dreck. I can guarantee a global poll right now would lean heavily the other way.

Least surprising news, ever. I’d avoid us as much as possible as well.

We turn ours on a few times a year, (like today for example) but we are lucky to live in a place with a constant westerly breeze and on the water for quick cool down dips. If we lived in an enclosed urban environment we would have to have AC on. I don’t begrudge anyone who decides to chill out.

Okay, let’s say he does somehow save healthcare. 🙄 That means there are no savings to even partially pay for the billionaires’s tax cuts. He’s committing to add trillions more to the deficit.

I’m blocking anyone who is going to chase this fantasy. The American people chose this clown on purpose, twice. It’s disgusting, but it’s the truth and there are far better fights than this nonsense.

Word of the day is ‘swullocking’, from 19th-century East Anglian dialect: sultry, sweltering, and sudiferous (sweat-inducing).

I use Bluesky as a news feed for reality based journalism- not to get all chummy with like minded folks. Just the news and opinion from people who are not living a fever dream.

Frum: What a tariff is, is the equivalent of hitting yourself in the head. And he’s saying to the world: “We will not stop hitting ourselves in the head unless you all agree to hit yourselves in the head.”

Why would anyone want to travel to your police state? Your deportation force’s budget means they have to justify the spend - meaning locking people up. No thank you. And forget the World Cup and the Olympics. Just so stupid.

"My wife had just lost her job after refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19", kicks off a stream of grievance and abject selfishness and surety in his opinion. He's not a doctor. He's not a virologist. He's an oil worker who "knows better." CBC should know better, too.

Once again Geist is railing against any attempt to reel in big tech. You know when you are in the wrong? When you agree with Donald Trump.

It seems to me the bigger problem in America is the only reason most people will give shit is a about anything is if it impacts them directly. The lack of empathy in America is simply shocking.
