"We are in the game"? Well, that's...something. (It's a whole lot of nonsense, to be clear.)

...aspirin to get him to take it without griping. Which just further confirms he's a dementia patient that needs "managing".

But this is about him taking Ambrisentan not aspirin (to be fair, he might still be taking that too). There's no mg dosage of "386" but Ambrisentan has that stamped on the pill. Which is why they're saying he was telling on himself. Even more interesting is his doctors telling him it's...

That too. I've been telling my kids for *years* how important it is to pay attention and to vote in local elections. My oldest is pretty good about it, my youngest is getting there.

I've said it before that as much as I can't stand these willfully ignorant danguses, I'm far more furious at the voters who put them into office.

When I heard about this, I couldn't help but think why would Iran need to blow up *any* city in the US when the Bloviator is doing enough damage all on his own.

Yeah. I think it doesn't help that my Google switch happened when I was much younger than I am now. I lament that I've reached the (not quite geriatric but not far off) resistant to change stage that every one warns about as you get older. Knowing is half the battle? /GI Joe

I've been searching for a new search engine in general but while I like Vivaldi and Qwant for the most part, I find I still fall back to old habits. I mean, I changed *to* Google at some point, I can't figure out why I'm so Garth Algar about change *now*. (I'm fairly sure it's baked in.)

Scott Walker radicalized me with his attack on teachers in 2011. In MI, our one trifecta did what we could to fix much of Snyder's damage. But there's still so much more to do. It's wild that WI, which used to be gerrymandered to hell, is winnable. BUT IT'S A REACH AND THIS IS WHERE YOUR $$ COUNTS

Wisconsin’s Fork in the Road

After 16 years of GOP control, Democrats have a shot at winning a majority in the Wisconsin State Legislature. This would be a monumental shift, but it’s far from a given — especially in the Assembly.

IIRC, during the NHL mumps outbreak from years past, it turned out Canadians from a certain age group, didn't have the same number of mumps shots as their cohorts and that's how we ended up with photos of Sidney Crosby like this. (I recall talking about it with Biz on the bird site)

...on what's actually going on in our province. I'm not saying there aren't good folks out there trying but it shouldn't be *this* hard.

I think I find levels to what I worry about on any given day (aside: both of my adult kids live in the US much to my anxiety in overdrive) but scared people aren't always rational. I will say though that if we had a local media that wasn't owned by US interests, we'd maybe get far more info...

...harass a poor delivery driver who already has a shitty job (if the recent "strike" in Saskatoon is any indication).

My concern has been how people seem to be conflating "Draganfly" (the drone company) with "Dragonfly" (the Amazon subcontractor that handles their deliveries). I keep hoping it's just spellcheck gone amok but I just typed out Draganfly with no issues and I'm just waiting for someone to...

I understand why they're doing this, but fuck them. These mayors can't guarantee the safety of their own citizens from ICE, and they sure as hell can't guarantee the safety of Canadian visitors. Also, North Dakota, where 2/3 of voters voted for Trump, wants foreigners to come back? Fuck them twice.

To add: is anyone surprised that Draganfly is operating in Saskatchewan and was mostly under the radar (pun kinda intended) until Large Man Abroad (yes, an American) did a YT video on it? I'm not. I want to know who knew and when but I'm fairly sure we'll never get any answers.

We can absolutely have a discussion about Amazon in Canada *and* legitimate Dragonfly complaints about how they treat their workforce but these two companies are not the same thing and honestly, I'm waiting to hear about someone harassing delivery drivers who already don't deserve it.

Prima @primad.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I'm all for more scrutiny into Draganfly (the drone company) but watching people kook out about "Dragonfly" (a subcontractor for Amazon delivery here in Saskatchewan. Likely other provinces but I can't say for sure) is making me weep for humanity. I can only hope that this is just spellcheck amok.

“A senior advisor to Bush” quoted in the NYT in 2004; the advisor’s initials are believed to be Karl Rove

From the 2004 New York Times story:

In the summer of 2002, after I had written an article in Esquire that the White House didn't like about Bush's former communications director, Karen Hughes, I had a meeting with a senior adviser to Bush. He expressed the White House's displeasure, and then he told me something that at the time I didn't fully comprehend -- but which I now believe gets to the very heart of the Bush presidency.
The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."

I'm fairly sure I'd be more concerned about the Puck cucked current Secretary of Transportation than the likely .005% of Furries working in the airline industry. Mostly because he's a booger eating moron and incompetent not because of his wife's questionable taste which is just as relevant.

I got one of those leading kind of surveys asking me if I would consider switching from Sasktel to Starlink and while I definitely picked the most definitive "No" option, I only wish I could have added "Not even if the world was covered with piss and Ketamine Dipshit owned the only treehouse."
