if eby loses this thing he and his strategists should be permanently laughed out of politics. we may be looking at a staggeringly embarrassing own-goal here, a serious self-hoisting

something i have observed among streamers is that project zomboid weapon choice is mostly gendered. women run the paring knife, men the baseball bat, everyone else firearms. however, there is an intersectional factor, which is that if you're good at video games you go short blunt

It's good for people to abandon movements when they realize what they've been (some amount of willfully) ignoring or dismissing this whole time is in fact real. No more media career, though. No more notoriety. Like a pilot that forgets to put down the landing gear. Sorry bud, you don't have it.

I think it's ill-advised and anti-democratic to introduce an omnibus bill, cite a crisis, and rush major changes to labour and environmental law. It's going to provoke aggressive resistance and risks, ironically, slowing down the projects the government is so keen on. It's going to be a huge mess.

it really shook my faith in the Alberta NDP when they dropped their concern for this issue. in 2014, while in opposition, Rachel Notley supported the calls for a comprehensive third-party health study here. but once in power, the Notley government just didn't do it.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Perhaps it has been his guilty conscience regarding his position at MIT along with a hubristic overestimation of his own capacity for individually grasping the essence of any global matter that led Chomsky to saddle himself with the task of producing counter-propaganda rather than searching for truth; perhaps it was the idea of himself as an American statesman trying to advise policy rather than an international organizer that led him to prioritize a friendship with someone who could provide access to figures like Ehud Barak and Steve Bannon over consideration for his victims. Whatever the case, Chomsky's lasting legacy will be the impressive feat of having combined the worst aspects of just about every leftist and progressive tendency: anarchists' lack of economic theory and class analysis, Marxist-Leninists' defense of state atrocities and insistence on viewing politics as a global chessboard, and liberals' elitist disdain for the masses' ability to be trusted with interpreting information.

the alberta ndp is campaigning against the 9 extra referendum questions, which is good and all, 8 of those proposal are racist fucking slop, but it's a little awkward that the ninth proposal is to do something that the ndp have advocated for for a long time (abolish the senate)

a twitter post from the account of the far-right media outlet Western Standard. Jason Kenney and Rachel Notley have been photoshopped to appear as though Notley has just given birth to a Kenney lovechild. the baby looks like Doug Ford
