Valuable insight into how supposedly reputable legacy media like @apnews.com are cheerfully abetting misinformation, using the 'paid content' excuse to try and maintain deniability. www.facebook.com/share/v/1Dyd...

Idly wondering how the Alberta RWNJ crowd is going to resolve the cognitive dissonance between calling for Alberta separation and freaking out over Quebec separatists.

The evolution of NATO. A 1950s Soviet editorial cartoon.

A 1950s Soviet comic depicting a Nazi officer being captured and imprisoned by an allied soldier. Over multiple panels the Nazi becomes friendlier and friendlier with his captor until he becomes a NATO officer and ends up giving the allied soldier orders.

I suspect the Venn diagram of people who follow TikTok 'influencers' and people who actually get vote has little overlap.

In the past 24 hours: - a BC brewery had to fire an exec and temporarily close after the exec wore a residential school denier tee - a Charlotteown bar has been blacklisted by the entire local music scene after denying bathroom access to a transgender musician So much for "go woke go broke"

Canada will never close the taps. Not because of the risk of retaliation. Because oil companies own our governments and they'll never allow anything that gets in the way of their profits.

I think the goal is to threaten often and seriously enough that they can bully Canada into a really bad deal that surrenders significant sovereignty, as just happened with Greenland.

Your reminder that John Cleese is a hateful washed up old man who routinely spews Islamophobic and transphobic shit on Twitter. Basil Fawlty wasn't an act - it's who Cleese is. And Canada's biggest comedy festival @justforlaughs.com is bringing this vile bigot to Canada.

The whole "Antisemitism" smear tactic in a nutshell.

Version of the "Know the work rules" meme.
Panel 1, "Appropriate" - Kanye West saying "I am a N*zi, I don't like or trust any Jewish person. Heil H*tler." And Robert Kraft replied "Aww, you;re sweet. Can you play 2 shows in Tampa?"
Panel 2. "Inappropriate" - Macklemore saying "Free Palestine." Robert Kraft on the phone saying "Hello, Human Resources?!"

And no one who is not a mindless Dem partisan seriously believes that, when the Dems do oust Trump, they will do thing one to fix all the systemic problems that allowed Trump to happen. There will be no trials. No justice for the crimes committed. The Dem's corporate masters won't let them.

LeftyWriter @privateerwriter.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

And we've now seen how much of a lie "Blue no matter who" is, as the Dems spend more energy and hate fighting their own progressive candidates than they ever have against Trump.

A party that can't draw the line at genocide will never draw the line anywhere. And the proof is there in all the Dems happily cooperating with Trump. Fascism lite is still fascism.

All your heroes will turn out to be assholes. Got blocked on FB by one of my fave 80s bands, @safetydance.com. Apparently it's offensive or something to suggest that being popular in Apartheid South Africa in the 80s is maybe not something to brag about in a FB post.

In today's class on 'How to completely and utterly miss the point and arrive at the wrong conclusion'... "See!? If we didn't discriminate against you in the workplace, more of you would be dead. You should appreciate your exclusion!"

Screen shot of a Twitter post by @AdrianneCurry in which she says:
"80% of the people who died on 9-11 were men. 0 female firefighters. 1 female cop. 1 female EMT & 1 Female Port Authority. 1357 men died on Titanic. 110 women.
The patriarchy doesn't get the credit its owed. We'd never hear the end of it about the sacrifice women made if the numbers were switched. Men and ladies should appreciate one another a little bit more."

Apparently a group of unarmed and very slow moving costumed climate protesters called the Red Rebels were enough to make Buckingham Palace cops and security shit their pants and go into lockdown.

Buckingham Palace police and security panic and race to close gates as costumed protesters approach.

Unarmed climate protesters called the Red Rebels, dressed in red costumes with white painted faces, walk very very slowly towards Buckingham Palace.

Flagging for a few mutuals who follow this account. One of my kids is a furry. The furry community is disproportionately made up of marginalized and vulnerable folx. They are also the fandom group that is probably the least tolerant of intolerance. You can't call yourself Antifa and hate on them.

All this. We have never actually had a reckoning about our involvement in that conflict. The war and Afghanistan itself was written off by the Canadian general public before our troops were even out of the country.

Saw the fall of the Soviet Union. The first Gulf War. The beginning of the war on terror. Pretty much every flaming item in today's global dumpster fire started burning during our childhood/early adulthood. All in all, totally fucked up. The music was good, though.

Witnessed the first major neo-Nazi resurgence in the early 90s. Our 'kids' media was trauma central - Watership Down, Secret of Nimh, Neverending Story. We sat in class and watched live as eight astronauts die horribly, and then went right back to doing math with no trauma care whatsoever.

We are are weird ass generation. We grew up pretty much feral, coming home to empty houses with two parents working. Running loose around the town wherever we wanted. Entered our teen years in the second major era of Red Scare, and the dawning of Friedman neo-liberalism.

I think now GenX breaks into three groups: the ones who drank the koolaid and became MAGA, the doom generation kids who tuned out and don't give a fuck one way or the other, and the ones who woke up and are going hard left now.

Oh fuck yeah. We GenX grew up on Red Dawn, Hunt for Red October, Firefox, and a million other red scare movies. Our gen were propagandized from the cradle.

No, even the Boomers were taught anti communism by their parents. Red scare really began the moment the Soviet revolution started. WWII let it go just long enough to tolerate Stalin as an ally, then doubled down on hating reds the minute the war ended. Boomers learned it on their parents' knee.

Had a gf who had one. Being gothy, I wore knee-high leather boots. Little bastard couldn't bite through 'em, so he would try to scale my boots to bite me on my knees. It is a testament to my patience and love of animals that the little fucker wasn't booted through a wall.
