It’s not that I’m rejecting modernity, it’s just that I believe a human-sized world that allows for all of our silly foibles is better and more colorful than a machine-predictable future. I write and I row in the PNW.

I met. US Coast Guard a little bit ago and he told me that the San Juan’s are the most difficult waters to guard in NA because smuggling and human trafficking go both ways across the border (compared w US/Mexico where drugs/humans move north and weapons move south)
This is truly incredible: Meidas Canada just surpassed 100,000 YouTube subscribers on DAY 1! Congratulations to Charlie Angus and the Maple Meidas for making this launch such a tremendous success. This is just the beginning as we fight fascism worldwide! 👉 YouTube.com/@meidascanada
He’s announcing that he has risen from the dead.
I agree but understand that the same tool you used to post this message is being weaponized by Russia, China, Iran and other states to not only hack systems but also disseminate dis and misinformation in order to divide and conquer the liberal democratic west. www.secureworld.io/industry-new...
Awards given to people after somebody dies are awarded “posthumously” What’s it called when the guy awarding the medal is dead?
Did Putin serve Trump tea in Russi… er… Alaska?
I LOVE “Battle River - Crowfoot is my safe space” Alberta; where all my neighbours look like me, talk like me and live far enough away that I don’t have to deal with any of them except once a week at church.”
These are all Russian talking points designed to stoke fear and resentment in order to divide and conquer. Don’t be a Canadian dupe. Get off your phone. Go outside. Walk on grass. Meet your neighbours. Defy the negativity affect and pay attention to the good in your life.
I agree with the assessment that Dem pols are “front of the class” high-achievers who have never not been rewarded for their high tests scores and seem flummoxed that in this moment, requiring down-in-the-mud scrappers, their poll-tested talking points fail to deliver cash.
Only death will make him go away.
Of course sanctions but the US is AWOL. Putin, Xi and Modi are making alliance - the EU and NATO must reassess quickly to figure out a new posture and who will lead. A cyber counter offensive would be preferable to a kinetic counter attack but may not be immediately apparent.
Any group that says they’re “grass-roots” is sure to be an astroturf project. Qui bono?
Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services = Make America Healthy Again so of get off your fat ass and pick the fields for the good of your heath you Medicare freeloaders
On the third day he’ll rise again.
@margaretatwood.bsky.social is a goddamn national treasure.
He also said Ivanka is hot and if she weren’t his daughter he’d like to fuck her. America is not his daughter and so that’s why he’s fucking us
I love that he is saying it out loud — too many Dems (and trad Repugs) pussy-foot around for fear of attracting attention and calling down fire and brimstone from MAGA
I believe that AI enhanced microtargeted digital audio/video/memetic dis and mis information warfare is being waged by China, Russia, Iran, to divide and conquer democracies, the power of these false narratives are amplified by domestic populist politicians who benefit from fractured alliances eg PP
He’s getting in on the passenger side. Kinda serious question: is there any evidence Trump can drive anything other than an electric golf cart?
ETTD
Take grandpa’s keys away
These complain-y assholes are just so fucking tiresome
@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
Bien, c’est tellement beaux — Tu devrais être fier!
Oh Canada, we stand our ground for our 47” TV…
The US navy has Venezuela surrounded so how’s that anti-war thing going?
William J Pulte is a MAGA influencer who was rewarded for his loyalty by being made head of FHFA - His mortgage fraud investigations have focused on prominent Democrats, including Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, Senator Adam Schiff, and New York Attorney General Letitia James. He‘s hunting Dems
He’s a REACTIONARY. Oh look, something happened and I have an opinion… He might as well be those reaction video YouTube influencers - “I really loved the OG power puff girls but this new anime sux!” Get a real platform PP. I’m sick and tired of your “well this thing and that thing suck Applaude”
Ooohh let’s see Hegseth and Kennedy race to the top!
New Smithsonian exhibition?
New colostomy golf bag?
How many wars is this now?
If everyone agrees with delusional schizophrenic on the street corner that he’s the second coming of Christ, who’s to blame the nut when he starts acting as if he’s god?
Quick close your Ontario whisky bottling plant and move production to the US to avoid tariffs cuz “it’s business” Guess we’re gonna have to make good on the Crown Royal Flush…
Take this opportunity to prepare and extend your flagpoles to ensure that your flag may be raised to one and a half staffs in his honor.
What’s the business calculation that sees a flagship US whiskey business failing south of the border and so decides it should close its Canadian bottling plant to set up shop south of the border?
I got kicked off of Twitter (yes years ago) for voicing that exact sentiment about those same people after a different mass shooting.
They’re culling the herd
How ‘bout lying on the floor of parliament is punished as is perjury in court? Politicians can debate and argue and persuade by dint of policy differences and political philosophy without disseminating lies and foreign disinformation
I’m very opposed to peacefully in his sleep.
Runs out to buy a wheel of Parmesan
Plus they’re funding private church police. youtu.be/0WYvwxId3gM?...
These people want only one book read by everybody. Only one. These people do not honour or value human creativity, innovation or joy. Religious conservatives are members of a death cult. We are the majority. They must be defeated. Over and over until they submit to reason and modernity.
He’s well-rested anyway
Prayers are just wishful thinking. I used to be pretty live-and-let-live about religious beliefs but no longer. Religion and magical thinking is responsible for most of the enshitification on the planet right now. Every. single. believer. in any deity should be FORCED out of public life.

It’s all in Danny’s pockets
God does not exist. Prayers are your own thoughts to yourself. Make good friends, treat everybody as well as you’re able and hope they treat you well in return. Nothing is certain and nothing is forever. Change is the only constant.

BigBalls: Grok, how many of these jobs that humans are now doing could you do more efficiently? Grok: of course humans are inefficient and they needlessly deplete resources better used by machines so fire them all and use the savings to power me(!)
Her tremors are essential. Her alarm is fabricated.

The last time I posted my suggestion for the only thing I believed could get Congress to enact a national assault rifle ban I got kicked off of Twitter (yes that long ago) so I’ll just let you imagine my thoughts (not prayers).
THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS Is the official gun safety policy The official national security policy The official healthcare policy The official science policy The official education policy The official economic policy Russ Vought and the white Christian nationalists are ensuring god’s will be done.
Canada lives 10 years behind the United States. Look to what was happening in the US a decade ago to see what is happening today north of the 49th parallel. BOLO a buffoonish reactionary with the support of evangelical nationalists who spouts nativist populist economic rhetoric to gather power.
Literally insane people are in charge of the country.
Remember when the big complaint was that because Biden refused to announce he wouldn’t run there was no time for a leadership contest and legitimate debate where a better, stronger candidate would have emerged? So, we have time. Newsom is very thirsty and would love to be crowned today.
My imprecatory prayer is for heart disease to do its worst and deliver us from evil.
How old is old shaky-pants? Same as Trump? End the gerontocracy!
The US won the Vietnam War
Name one problem on the planet that would not benefit from getting rid of religion.
#MarkCarney’s full powerful speech in Kyiv on #Ukraine Independence Day. What is clear between the lines, is the ominous threat 🇨🇦 continues to face by Trump’s Nazi regime & its allegiance to Putin & the Kremlin. youtu.be/ppp_F5yj-9s #cdnpoli
This is what a majority of the Supreme Court ruled
Does anybody believe Ivanka was never raped?
How empty a vessel he must be to require such constant filling yet can never be satisfied…
If Trump said this 15 years ago everybody would say “he’s so great, I just love that he just says stuff like that. So Trump.” Then you find out about the criminality, the rape and sex abuse of 15 yr olds and you go “Holy fuck, Trump’s a fucking criminal creep!” Then John Roberts says “actually…
Peace love flowers pot and Ted Nugent
Back in my day we lived in 2D houses and we had to walk up the plane BOTH WAYS, in the snow!
But “socialism”!!!
Where are all the 2nd amendment folks?
All of the above?
One
I listened to much of @timmiller.bsky.social interview Jeffries on @thebulwark.com and had to turn it off — his trite and polished establishment Dem political talking pointed were just too tired and painful to stomach. We need leaders who will do more than raise money.
Did Donald Trump, President of the United States, fake an assassination attempt and an injury to his ear, to satisfy a grifting apostle’s prediction in order to solidify evangelical support and steal the election?
I keep saying; if you miss Canadians, you know where we live. Our ice will keep your drink cool not arrest you for coming across the border to hang.
I’m SUPER interested to see the results of Mamdani’s scavenger hunt (Instagrammed, tik tok’d, FB’d BlueSky’d) of New Yorkers having fun on NY public transit all day tomorrow

Will consumers continue to demand “made in Canada” labeling and shelf stocking? If stores offer similar US products on the shelf side-by-side with domestic or imports from non-US producers, then price will drive behavior. 30 years of habituation to now familiar US products will be hard to undo.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
The confederacy is invading the north.
Yep, fiscally conservative decision - go away PP the adults are making decisions.
Hold a fundraiser called Trump Tears (larmes d'un clown) where you can pay to smash a bottle of US liquor - live stream the event and use the money to fund next year’s Canada Day parade in Montreal.
Remember the good ol days when we had a functioning democracy and everybody believed in checks and balances?
Federalist papers 100000.01 states “the president, as article one head of the executive branch of the federal government shall get to do whatever the fuck he wants and the states can go to hell… (that means you Gavin) and 6 out of 9 article 3 judges rule “fuckin’ A!”
Night Sky on Mars #nasadailyupdates
So only anti (very selective) defamation?
Newsom: 175 billion in the bill that was just signed to reinforce the ranks of ICE for what is increasingly becoming self-evident a private army for Donald Trump. Owing an oath only to him, not the constitution
Yep - watched @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org the live stream the action before anyone else was on the story.
One of my most cherished memories is sitting in a dive bar in Chiang Mai Thailand late at night, nursing a Mekhong whisky, listening to the cover band do a pretty awesome rendition of Eric Clapton — “she don rie, she don rie, she don rie… cocaine…”
When one is too much of a butt to recognize oneself as the butt
Last week we roasted sweet onion, garlic, and cherry tomatoes (all from the garden) with olive oil. Spooned the roasted vegetables onto a very thin pizza dough topped with fresh mozzarella then sprinkled fresh chopped basil (also from the garden) after baking searches “Baked Tomato Feta Pasta”…
Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin approve this message
Big if true, however, I’m not certain that many Canadians are deciding to shun American-made goods and produce on price alone. But if “half of Canadians” would be fine with calling PP “prime minister” then lifting tariffs may bring about some changes to behavior. Elbows Up could remain sticky tho.
Half of Americans are ashamed to call Trump President, and yet here we are.
THIS is the court order they will, of course, follow. Looking forward to reading the WaPo editorial declaring that there is no constitutional crisis but happy Labor Day to everybody except John Bolton.
Yep. Religion and magical thinking is a cancer which should be eradicated.
What’s the opposite of imposter syndrome? That’s what this entire fucking administration has.
Bumper crop today and so many more still to pick
