there are some scenarios where i totally understand going to the states. i have a co-worker who had dual citizenship and that’s where the majority of her family is. but if you’re travelling down to the states for pleasure? judging you. would you have taken a little vacation to nazi germany as well?

I loooooove this movie, but I am from Winnipeg, which has a special relationship with this movie for some reason. Maybe something in the water.

I remember a decade-long panic about undergraduates, activists, or Tumblr pages declaring new language rules and denouncing people for violating them.

post from Trump on Truth Social declaring that anyone who uses the term "Artificial Intelligence" is THE ENEMY!

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Q: “How do you define socialism personally?” Vance: “I think in reality, what it actually means in the American context is that you want to replace American workers with foreign workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports.”

What a chart from LPL: “.. the widening gap between prevailing mortgage rates and the effective rates existing homeowners are paying .. Many owners are sitting on cheap loans and have little incentive to give them up. That lock-in effect keeps the resale market starved of inventory ..”

In my opinion, we can improve society somewhat by treating admirers of Adolf Hitler with the public contempt they deserve, like we used to

My peeps of a certain age will remember a time when radio and TV stations would go "off-the-air". There.was a large chunk of the day when we literally were cut off from any new information. ... It was actually kinda great. ☺️😇

As Voltaire said, the essential function of government in the modern age is redistribution of wealth from a disfavored class to a favored class. This chart shows the view of the post-1980 GOP, which has favored the wealthiest 1% of Americans and disfavored everyone else.

For all the hand-wringing about the effects of technology on kids, the impacts may be just as corrosive on their grandparents Most reading has been done by older Americans. In 2003, older Americans read 58 minutes/day. By last year, that had fallen to 32 minutes/day www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/o...

It’s not the children who stopped reading. It’s their grandparents.

It's almost as if an attempt to suppress certain speech leads to more people being aware of it. Someone should coin a phrase that encapsulates that phenomenon.
