It’s nice in theory but doesn’t work in practice; The LibDems did this in the UK alongside the Tories as a coalition and they’ve never recovered—voters felt betrayed.

This is a bit of a Boy Who Cried Wolf situation where I think there's high-potential for a serious conflict here, but they've clashed so frequently, and typically in such a limited way, that most will be shocked if (when) this erupts.

Really excited for the new Conclave album, the Christian Rock genre is very underappreciated. #RockLikePontifex

The real tragedy is Alanis Morissette only ever made one album, Jagged Little Pill, and that song from City of Angels.

No she didn't mate, she only ever made one album. Never made seven. Bit like there's only two Alien movies, and a tribute called Romulus.

Ah Sarah I deactivated just after your accident and reactivated today, so to read this has made me sad. You've got a good mum.

Count the “what the fuck” comment and that’ll give you an idea

The number of Americans surprised in this thread is… in itself shocking.

And frankly @cnn.com, you should do better—Trump isn’t proposing “expansion” because not a single Canadian would roll over and welcome it; what you’re parroting is commonly known as invasion.

Tom @subtleslander.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

Add that to Trump’s referring to our Prime Minister as the Governor of the 51st State should set alarm bells ringing and prompt a swift rebuke—condemnation—from every nation that values its sovereignty.

Many Canadians have given their lives in the defence of the United States, and the broader west—wantonly musing our annexation is at the least offensive and in reality outrageous.

Tom @subtleslander.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

As a British pseudo-Canadian, I’m really quite bored of Americans wargaming the idea of our assimilation; Canada is an independent, sovereign state with as much history, culture and right to self-determination as the US itself. We are not your toy; our land is not yours for the taking.

Tom @subtleslander.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

Respectfully, what do you think we’d do? Canada is a sovereign state with an independent army—the idea we wouldn’t do anything is absurd.

Quite a lot of people care given he’s one of the richest landowners, most influential, and ergo powerful, and ultimately is in the line of succession for the UK and 14 other countries.

Not sure I agree—if I write a song, its profitability isn’t based on whether it can be freely reproduced, it’s whether it’s popular in the first place. McCartney’s concern, rightly, is that the ability to make infinite music of infinite varieties undermines the creativity of humans.

Because torture is a legal term and until they’re convicted of it the Guardian has a responsibly to report it as purported, rather than factual—we all know it’s happened, but journalistic standards etc.

Right? I believe the definition of supplanting humanistic values with ideology is “fucking hubris” and sociopathy

None of this is amusing and making light of it deserves a rethink.

And if reports are anything to go by, Khamenei isn’t far behind them—he must have a sense of bitterness to watch his sphere of influence crumble so quickly as he reaches his own end of the road.

There are many people who learned about Syria for the first time earlier this week and need to share that this Middle Eastern country must be exactly the same as the other ones they learned about on Fox, and must suffer the same fate /s

A regional power is not a super power; Iran doesn’t have the resources to intervene militarily, not with Hezbollah and Hamas nullified and Israel knocking at the door.

It’s also that the Guardian doesn’t really know what it is anymore—advocate for the working man, schmoozing champagne socialist, or turkey snob—while asking for $8 a month for articulated thoughts on something articulated billions of times through the centuries.

I’m a fierce advocate for journalism in all its forms—except food journalism, which should be banned.
