Tonight shows that Alberta's NDP is building huge momentum here in Calgary, and across the province. We know better is possible. The historic result in Calgary-Shaw proves it. Thank you to Kyle and to every single person who put in the work to get us here. /1

Every day, when it gets a little bit quiet, I feel that pulsating grief.

I'd almost describe the Odyssey, thematically, as a *conservative* critique of the kind of overpowering, violent, grasping masculinity of the chuds and the far right - that revels in cruelty to strangers, in aggression and war crimes and dominance. Absolutely fascinating.

Fun fact: While Jews made up less than 1% of the population of Argentina, they comprised up to 12% of those disappeared during the Dirty War, due to the antisemitism of the right-wing junta and the association of Jews with leftism. More Jews were killed in the Argentine Dirty War than on 10/7/2023.

The place I donate blood gives points that you can exchange for gas cards which means I actually know the current exchange rate of blood for oil. Blood is going for 20.618 times an equivalent amount of oil.

Latter-day Saints have long valued the US Constitution’s promise of religious freedom – but the church has also tested its boundaries.

I have absolutely loved seeing how the Pope’s new encyclical has been turned into a meme of sorts. As a Mormon, it’s both refreshing to see a global church see itself and hold itself to the standard of a Global church. And to see a church have foresight about dangers to humanities.

Kack infamously humiliated AZ Patriots leader Jennifer Harrison (a now-irrelevant POS who used to go wave her guns at people crossing the border or Muslims attending religious services) so badly that it became the timeless Green Shirt Guy reaction image. Our hometown meme hero needs help!

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

Felt slightly torn voting NDP over Liberal last election, however, glad I did end up voting NDP even if they lost.

I have some reservations about my vote for NDP. Hopefully with Avi, and the numbers he fundraised it signals something better for the NDP. But I don’t know if this slate of NDP leader candidates can revitalize the NDP

Good thing some US colleges are closing their Religious Studies departments—definitively not “useful” at all or an area of expertise that might be relevant for understanding our present…

Only in a left-wing bubble can you imagine the Iran of today actually winning this. I want to be clear this will be another Iraq and Afghanistan. But the Iran that will come out of this will not be the same Iran of yesterday, and it will not be this polar shifting country that will out muscle US.

These propagandists already know that. The aim is not to convince people of Russia’s innocence, but to muddy the narrative just enough to distort accountability and normalize apathy toward Ukraine. (2)

When you say that “most Americans support the murder of Renee Good (or most other awful MAGA actions,” you are doing Trump’s propaganda work for him. Polling makes it very clear that most Americans do NOT support this shit.

So there is your answer why Trump even after Jan 6 got a second chance. Democrats are entitled, visionless, and spineless. And lastly, we forgot about Jan 6.

But I am sick of Democrats taking advantage of my vote giving me spineless and visionless leadership. I don’t think Democratic leadership will get the message if they are using AI to “summarize” this message.

I would ask they vote third party. I’m even at a point that I might just vote third party. This continual appeal to the centre with no vision enables “moderates” and “independents” to vote Republican. However, I loathe third parties in the states. They appear every four years and then vanish.

Watching the Jan 6 panel and the more I watch it the more I am disappointed that Trump got a second chance. I’m even more disappointed in family members that support Trump.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
