Maybe It Will Happen Today @today-maybe.bsky.social · 21/04/2025
A digital illustration done in a black and white graphite style with white highlight on a gray grainy paper background of a hand from the front in a fingers-crossed gesture. From the heel of the palm and down the wrist is lettering reading, ‘maybe it will happen today’. The hand is cropped beetle the lettering and surrounded with decorative rays and circles.

Don’t take the bait. Whether ICE planted drugs or there were drugs DOES NOT MATTER. It’s irrelevant to the murder. Feds want us to debate drugs in a story that’s about murder. Stay focused on the murder. It’s not about the victim’s virtue or lack thereof. It’s about ICE murdering people.

Rather than replacing capitalism, social democrats aim to tame its excesses through progressive taxation, strong labor rights, and extensive public services to ensure social and economic equality.

A digital illustration of Peter Finch portraying maniacal newscaster Howard Beale in Network (1976). He’s a disheveled older white man in a rumpled raincoat, his face is distended in an open-mouthed howl with both his hands held out in claw-like configurations in the air in front in him. There are clocks on the wall behind him and some of the numbers have been replaced with letters spelling out ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

The Habs let Dobeš down. He stood on his head and gave them a chance to win, and they put all of 12 shots on Anderson. I mean, I get it—there's another team on the ice, but 12 shots for the second game in a row. They have to do better than that. #GoHabsGo

A few times a season, a puck takes an erratic bounce off the Zamboni door stanchion at the Bell Centre, sometimes causing goalies grief. Last night, it was the difference in a one-goal playoff game. Here's a crazy idea… maybe fix or re-engineer that stanchion so that stops happening. #GoHabsGo

I am so sick of hearing about Tampa and "the role of villain" as though it is some sort of subtle game within the game. God, it is tiresome. Here's a thought, why not just focus on the role of fucking hockey players. #GoHabsGo

Habs are currently third in the Atlantic, but if the Boston-Detroit game goes to overtime, and we lose in regulation to the Islanders, we'll be on the outside of a wildcard spot looking in. Christ, but I do love me some meaningful hockey in April. #GoHabsGo

Brendan Gallagher's absence tonight just hit home. He is usually the last player to come down the Canadiens' tunnel and tap the starting goalie to lead the team onto the ice. Jake Evans just did it in Gallagher's place. That *had* to feel weird for him.

It’s quite something to watch “reasonable” Conservatives in this country waking up to the fact that their movement is being taken over by white nationalists/supremacists (while Poilievre tiptoes around them because he wants their votes).
Sean Speer:

Those calling for the so-called “remigration” of people who immigrated legally are either arguing for sweeping constitutional reforms that are politically implausible—or for an authoritarian government willing to carry out a massively unconstitutional removal of citizens and permanent residents in defiance of courts and sustained political opposition.

This isn’t about rightly enforcing immigration laws. And it’s not a one-off use of the notwithstanding clause. 

It would require a systematic suspension of constitutional rights for large numbers of people.

Radical doesn’t begin to describe it. Those advancing it should be honest about what they’re actually proposing.

Quoting Daniel Tyrie:

I'm not radical, I'm the voice of reason. 

It's not controversial to recognize that being Canadian is about more than having a piece of paper. 

To be Canadian is to be a part of an intergenerational lineage stretching back to the pioneers that settled and built this country from nothing. 

This is an obvious reality that everyone understands whether or not they are willing to admit it yet.

I'm just the guy who's willing to say what everyone else is thinking.

Digital illustration done in a rough ink style and shades of red. It’s Tim Curry as the big devil man from Legend. He’s all red wearing raggy black garment that still shows off all of his chest. He has a pair of absolutely massive bull-like horns on his head which is thrown back laughing and fists on hips, simply delighted as he contemplates the red lettering next to him which reads ‘Maine it will happen today’.
