Spent somewhere between 22 and a million minutes reflecting on the best(?), most audacious(👍) Bon Iver album

Once again: anyone who thinks rape victims come forward for any reason except telling the truth at great fucking cost to themselves is a brainwashed bastard

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

this is decidedly different from "send mail instantly" or "movies in your home instantly" -- this is, "fingers crossed, you and your children will never know freedom from hunger and want." who can get up every day and suck dicks down at the factory with this as the vision being sold

Very gingerly dipping a toe into the stagnant pond of The Discourse I think it’s obviously fine to not hear popular songs but my reaction to learning “a song I don’t know has broken loads of popularity records“ is “oh I should hear it, maybe I’ll like it”, why would it not be that?

people are allowed to get drunk. the punishment for getting drunk, even if it's "too" drunk/underage or what have you... is a fucking hangover. not getting horrifically assaulted, raped, and traumatized, you piece of shit. acting as if women shouldn't have that freedom IS part of the problem.

"I became republican because leftists are annoying" is also such a soft-spined take because YES YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT leftists ARE the most annoying people on the planet and you're thus admitting you didn't even have the mental fortitude of the weakest leftist

If an industry is so vital to the national interests that we need to protect the owners from fair bargaining and allowing their employees the right to strike, then it is an industry that is too vital to the national interests to be held by private owners. Nationalise them.

Not a good look: arresting seniors calling on Mark Carney to not walk back our climate obligations. In my last 2 years as MP I ran a gauntlet of threat, swarming and harassment everyday from conspiracy ragers. House security and Ottawa police just watched. Seems instructions have been issued.

This is actually a great point that the Bloc Quebecois leader (yes, really) made today. I'm paraphrasing from memory, but he basically said Carney is undoing stuff in minutes that took years to fight for.
