Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 17/06/2026So the same people who considered Obama wearing a tan suit to be a major breach of decorum and unpresidential are now okay with modern day gladiator matches being held on the white house lawn to celebrate the president's birthday? 001
Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 09/06/2026I thought that Trump needed to build a ballroom so he wouldn't have to risk going outside in Washington? How is it now safe for him to go to New York? 000
Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 08/05/2026The UCP attempting to deflect blame to Nenshi and the NDP is obvious nonsense. But it's strategic nonsense. Don't mistake UCP malfeasance for incompetence. They know that their deflections are absurd. 100
Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 03/05/2026If John Fetterman can claim to be a Democrat, maybe the solution to the US's problems is for progressives to start running as Republicans. Steal some of their rhetoric and use the same language as health scammer influencers. Vote Jon Republicanman: existing ideas with stupider names that you like. 000
Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 30/04/2026The Centurion project's illegal app was clearly designed to give separatists access to our voter data so they could start adding fake signatures to their traitorous petition that would match the voter rolls during the random sampling. The entire petition is now even more suspect than it already was. 010
Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 13/04/2026It's bad enough that Microsoft insists on trying to push copilot into every aspect of my work, can they at least not spend money trying to push it into my escapist tv shows? 000
Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 20/03/2026The Chuck Norris memes are still funny, even if not as funny as they were originally when they were parodying his public persona. But let's not forget who he *actually* was - a far right hardcore Christian nationalist. 011
Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 23/01/2026I swear I could happily slap whatever idiots at Volkswagen decided to put an underpowered alternator and an undersized battery into their Tiguan and then put an all electric power steering system into it that turns itself off on moderately cold days when tow trucks are in short supply. 🍋 000
Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Can someone explain to me how major US unions are siding with the fascists? WTF is wrong with Sean O'Brien and any other union member who backs Republicans in general and Trump in particular? 000
Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 16/10/2025Hey @andrewknack.bsky.social do you think you could get your robocallers to not call me on my work phone twice a day given that I can't even vote for you? I neither live nor work in Edmonton. 000

Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 12/09/2025Democratic officials and supposedly left or progressive (or "woke" if you insist) media figures are trying so hard to not be seen as celebrating Kirk's death that they're actively helping Maga reframe him as a moderately conservative pundit / influencer. He wasn't. He was a 21st century Goebbels. 000

Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran should not be ignoring requests for comments from the media, they should be getting subpoenaed by Congress to explain just what the fuck they think they're doing. 000
Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 01/02/2025Trump's tariffs are nothing short of economic warfare, and any Canadian leader who isn't 100% on board with immediate retaliation is unfit for their office. Targeted retaliatory tariffs worked last time, and they're the minimum viable response this time. Turning off the taps and the power is step 2. 020
Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 31/01/2025To repeat others: if you're in the US federal government, especially in the military and law enforcement and have always wondered what you'd have done in 1933 Germany, it's the same thing that you're choosing to do right now. History will not be kind to ICE agents who send children to Guantanamo. 010
Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 28/01/2025In France, the people have general strikes and riots when their government tried to introduce photo radar.

Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 26/01/2025“In my work with the defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy.

Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Since the ADL had apparently lost the ability to recognize Nazis when they see them, perhaps someone should consult Mossad instead? They used to have pretty strong views on the correct degree of tolerance that dangerous Nazis deserve. 000
Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Any news organization that sane washes Elon's fascist salutes as "odd-looking", "unusual", or even "nazi-like" is part of the problem that led to this electoral result. Call a spade a spade you fucking cowards. 000

Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 06/01/2025Even if it were somehow true that tariffs were paid by the supplier rather than by the importer, why would anyone not expect that cost to still be passed on to the end customer?

Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 14/12/2024If anyone is still thinking of buying a Tesla, ask yourself "why would Tesla be so opposed to crash reporting requirements?"

Zan Thrax @zanthrax.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Seriously, can we at least put "manifesto" in scare quotes? Everyone's been conditioned to think of Kaczynski when the media uses the word "manifesto" - but his was a 35,000 word dissertation. Luigi wrote a 240 word note.
