United Soviet Assets
Sometimes it just hits me that we have KNOWN Russian assets in Congress And in the Cabinet And in the Oval office RIP USA
Notwithstanding that this is a batshit crazy requirement, why does the requirement ONLY apply to girl’s sports, hmm? Every student or parent should submit this form with a big fat X in protest. What are the UCP going to do? Come and force every kid to pull down their shorts?
“Besser said the ousting of Monarez, along with the resignation of at least four top leaders, compelled him and his colleagues to speak out… “There will be other public health challenges, and with this Secretary performing in the way that he is, it puts us all at risk."
Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is: 💰 $2M to back Newsom in the redistricting fight 📺 A deal for Sesame Street — new episodes and the full archive free to watch. That’s how you pick a side.

It's not Left or Right. It's Up or Down. Most people are Down or on their way. The Middle Class is disappearing, not because they're getting wealthier, but because they're getting poorer. We're on the Road to Serfdom & it's not because of socialism.
“Danielle Smith doesn’t care about Canadian sovereignty, and it shows whenever she speaks to the American far-right, which is unfortunately often. Her actions — always immature, often childish and completely unacceptable for any Canadian politician — have proven her unworthy of her office.”

The United States has seen 291 mass shootings in 2025. That’s more than one mass shooting every day. This isn’t normal. Weapons of war don’t belong on the streets. We need real action to save lives.

Thinking about Marcelo's comments on Trump and all that pops into my head is: United Soviet Assests

Fear and anger but that fear is of situations created by people encoursging the hate and bigotry
The Lazarus Project is the biggest waste of time. Allow me to save you the 15 hours I wish I had not spent. The bad guys win, and then they cancel the series. Worst plot-armor-dependent show I have watched on Netflix in forever. If you love the idea of time travel, watch Travelers. Avoid this.
A worrying amount of people in the UK forget this:

An excellent explainer of Danielle’s political ambitions. “Smith’s politics represent an ideological project to “create Alberta’s little bastion of freedom and free enterprise”” We are her experiment. I’m not at all sure we won’t succumb.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.

I've been trying to not comment on Alberta politics, because I'm from Ontario, and the Doug Ford government sure as fuck doesn't represent me. But book banning is a crime against humanity. It's a violation of our right to think, and not a goddamn person in our country should look away.
