When the EU says they know better about fascism because of history, they seem to be referring to nothing from August 31, 1939 and earlier. Because appeasement and capitulation really should be on every reading list right now. Has this book been banned yet in America?
The number of people who have gone crazy OR who have realized bad faith is a business model, boy oh boy
Earlier today, several Liberal MPs released a statement condemning antisemitism and expressing solidarity with Jewish Canadians. Unfortunately, this statement was not shared with all MPs to sign, and most of us were unaware it existed until it was posted online. /1 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.
Ottawa’s neoliberal mayor Mark Sutcliffe has done nothing but made Ottawa worse off the backs of vulnerable people. He is looking like a disgrace. Imaging raising police budget by 4.4% and to pay for that you’re making services more expensive. Taking away student discounts is swirling the bowl
Did you ask Ted Stevens if you could use his phrase?
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
So if you do the math- If you wanted to have 200 mg from the legal market you’d have to spend about 80 bucks under current regulations. But as I indicated, one company may have found a work around. It just comes with a huge increase in waste.
But now we get to the ‘important’ part. Legal market gummies are still limited to 10 mg per gummy. So for about 4 bucks you get 10 mg The blackmarket gummy isn’t limited like legal ones. And the green black market gummy is 200 mg per single gummy. And it costs $5.50
second picture is legal market gummy. It comes in a single package. It tastes like watermelon. The black market gummy costs $5.50 cents. No taxes, obviously. The legal market gummy costs anywhere from $2.50-$3.50 and you probably wouldn’t pay more than 4 bucks with tax.
The picture on the left (or first picture) is a toonie and a single gummy from the black market. The picture on the right, or the second picture, is one legal market gummy. So let’s describe what we have. The first picture is a strawberry-kiwi gummy. Sells in a package of 10 gummies.
But every attempt at having multiple 10 mg gummies in a single package has been pulled by regulators. But this latest effort may be the effort that did successful in not getting pulled. The best place to start is these two pictures.
But every attempt at having multiple 10 mg gummies in a single package has been pulled by regulators. But this latest effort may be the effort that did successful in not getting pulled. Here’s the story: On the left is a single 10 mg pack vs a bag with ten gummy packs inside.
One of the reps for one of the biggest brands in cannabis stopped by the store on Friday. His company is the latest to push for more than 10 mg of THC in a single pack of gummies. Sort of. Every effort to push the THC limit in a single purchase/bag has been to have 10, 15, 20 pieces of 10 mg.
Someone needs to develop the South Park-Noem extension for browsers whereby any picture of her face starts to melt off and then falls off and runs away.
CNN platforming Seb Gorka Martha Raddatz at ABC Interviewing Gov Wes Moore & being unhinged. Wes Moore needs to ask why she’s defending a rapist. Ask if her questions were written by Stephen Miller. Wes needs to pushback on a bought off press. I don’t get the constant defense mode. Offense only.
But *we’re* the snowflakes… Christ alive this is stupid.
This past week, I focused on Canadian school supply brands from the past. Today, I will finish off the series with a look at some of the snacks Canadian children had in their lunches. Some are still around, some are long gone. Enjoy this nostalgic tastebud journey! 🧵 1/12

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
Maybe… But maybe he’s just resting up for a busy weekend of have his caddie drop golf balls all over the fairways and greens in advantageous places. 🤷
Kent Brockman: Now, here are some results from our phone-in poll: 95% of people believe Homer Simpson is guilty. Of course, this is just a television poll which is not legally binding. Unless proposition 304 passes, and we all pray it will.
Babies need the electrolytes, damn it!
Guns, of course, are not common denominators in (checks notes) shootings…
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for 98% of the population.”
The new head of the CDC seems like a pretty neat guy. I wonder what CDC stands for?
I had not noticed and i would assume almost no one else did or no one else was brave enough to point it out! Genetic. Yea. That would be the word.
So genetic is more than just familial in the simplest sense. But here in this case I think you misunderstand the advanced age issue and genetics. DNA Fragmentation. Motility. Morphology. The first is easy to understand, two and three have to do with a sperm and age. But it’s all ‘genetic’.
The American Great Leap Forward will feature small children being worked to death screwing in tiny screws to make iPhones that no one can afford to buy. Also, a lot more disease.

I refuse to read National Post stories. Are they seriously proposing this?
In today’s least surprising news, included in the Albertan government’s banned books is a book titled “Book lovers.” With a title like that it never stood a chance!
You’re 100% correct. And the fact that a racist white owner refused to pay a black man fairly and instead sent him away makes it very fitting that the Dallas Cowboys are called “America’s Team.”
“Do not offer thoughts and prayers as you systemically enable such tragedies. Do not claim prayers are sufficient when children die as they pray. Do not pretend you do not understand.” — Lydia, 16, Minneapolis
One in which starving 13 year olds get shot in the stomach while trying to get food because someone else thinks their made up fantasy about being Sky Daddy’s favourite people gives them the right to kill people who believe in the same Sky Daddy, but a different made up fantasy.
No, 100% genetic. That’s why it’s called a genetic condition.

Radical people tend to not enjoy administrative and clerical work. Who would have guessed?
Fozzie Bear is the only Muppet I'm remotely attracted to but I swore off dating other comics after my 3rd open mic so I guess what I'm saying is I'll never have muppet babies
Vox and the Atlantic have been very bad today at distinguishing between authoritarian and totalitarian. bsky.app/profile/zack...
My main takeaway was that Zach is mistaking authoritarian for totalitarian.
Who asked this?
SSRIs don’t shoot people, people shoot people! With guns. School shooters tend to be: Male White Have a gun Let’s ’launch a study’ on those potential contributors…
Hey Folks...You may start seeing social media sites and a website for Climate.us If you see it, follow and share. It is legit and has some amazing, credible people behind it trying to plug leaks in the climate science world. Trust me on this one. More is coming....
I will never understand how American elites managed to convince themselves that uncivil debate — not fascism, not impunity and not widespread indifference to facts — is the defining problem of our time. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/o...
There is no aggregation of causes. It’s a generic condition. Signed, An autistic person who has a far better understanding of genetics and health science than the American Secretary of Health and Human Services
When education is a threat to your political movement you probably have a shitty political movement.
Depends on what you want to see happen, I think.
Yes. Signal. WhatsApp. Secret decoder rings. Two cans attached by string. All of the above are preferable to a joint android iOS chat!
You suck. Go Tay Tay!
I am trying to picture what non-woke ballet looks like? Do the dancers wear combat boots, masks, and have an AR-15 at their side?
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Repeat it for those at the back: Republicans on the Supreme Court gave the grandson of a Russian double-agent with ties to criminal hackers access to all of your social security data.

So the CPC apparently looked south, saw what’s being said and done, and came to the conclusion that they want to replicate that in Canada. And that it would be a winning strategy.
He doesn’t seem to be cognizant of how badly the Nazis lost…
Where is this screencap from?
There is no conceivable interpretation of the law of war in which a camera set up nearby legitimizes a mass casualty double tap strike on a protected civilian site like a hospital. The fact that Israel is citing it as if it meets some standard should, by itself, trigger a halt in weapons to Israel.
And I’m 99% sure he won’t make the trains run on time, either.
MAGA believes that a left wing George Soros who is 95 years old and has an estimated assets of 7.5 billion dollars controls the world. But… Elon Musk- $350B Larry Ellison- $295B Mark Zuckerberg- $263B
Yeah, but the genocide victim probably had a pre-existing condition, so that makes it ok… 🤷😢
Dear unidentified white male, It seems you are part of neither group I mentioned, but you feel empowered to declare what those two groups should receive and if what they think is correct or not. And that’s pretty much what white men did to them that created these problems in the first place.
He seems to be saying that, um, Ukraine started the war?
Is this a physical drive or cloud storage room?
It’s a good thing no one has ever done anything to impact American national interests on the oil markets! Phew!
Tay Tay and the better looking but less fun of the Kelce brothers got engaged. Tay Tay is being reported to be sporting a 10 karat diamond ring. That’s maybe 1.2 million. Tay Tay has assets of 1.6 billion. Kelce has won some hard to win battles, but that’s one hell of a battle!
You are a white man, aren’t you? From the people who arrive in America and then eventually become American citizens to the people who are born at this hour on this day, all of them are expected to contribute to paying off America’s 37 trillion dollar debt. So why not for slaves and indigenous?
Which province? It sounds like Alberta…
No. It’s not a matter of grand children. It’s a matter of a nation paying its debts. Same for slavery reparations. If the consequences of national policy and in the case of America its very founding, means certain peoples have been damaged and disadvantaged for centuries. They are owed.
I live in the richest postal code in Canada. The rich people are assholes and have nice cars. Which means I get to see the nice cars. And I just saw one of these- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aston_M... Aston Martin DB5 - Wikipedia
Hegseth being such a lapdog that he had these soldiers be armed to be tough only for Trump to make them clean up trash is hilarious but also humiliating. These men and women don't serve to be political props and unpaid laborers.
Nope. There are lots of other people like you. Maybe some day people will arrive at your door, move into your home, claim all your stuff as theirs, and then kick you out. But don’t worry, no one will care about what your opinion on the matter is, either.
I know when I want to know what or how indigenous peoples in North America feel about something I consult (checks notes) a white woman from Arkansas…
For someone who has no idea what they’re talking about you are very confident. Forbes had car ownership in America for last year at 92% of households. Slave ownership at its height was only about 25% of households. They are not analogous. You won’t know what you’re talking about.
I simply think you’re an idiot. Which is not a moral statement, it’s more of a statement of fact.
Someone screen capped this and sent it to me. I figured no one could be this dumb, but here I am and it’s real.
Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2025, marks 104 years since the 19th Amendment was certified, recognizing women’s constitutional right to vote.
The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good
Trump on deploying the National Guard to Chicago: "I have the right to do anything I want to do. I'm the president of the United States."
Remember when they knew exactly where a bunch of journalists were and then had a precision strike that killed those journalists? They don’t make mistakes. They make excuses after they commit crimes. And then say “whoops”.
Man, autocorrect sucked on that. Steamed open. And resealed.
Someone has never heard of Echelon, the NSA, the CSE, etc. Bobby Kennedy used to have huge swaths of first class air mail steamer open, checked for suspicious info, then revealed and sent to the intended recipient. That was in the 1960s.
White Bald Ugly Tiny pecker Not very smart No one ever liked him And that means others must suffer to make him feel strong and better than the piece of vile filth that he is.
Yes, I agree with all the liberals jacked right now about Newsom. He is showing other Dems how to fight Trump, which is priceless But... ...cozying up to AI billionaires, a flop on homelessness, his transgender betrayal, he's still a loser for '28 My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...
Constituent: You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass.
Strong/great people want their opponents at their best to prove that they are strong or great when they beat their opponents. Weak people use the power they have to limit others so they can’t be challenged.

Yes. You missed something. And they get to do it.
They’re making fun of the media referring to Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a Maryland man as they threaten to send him to Uganda, a country where he’s never lived. They’re simply fucking vile.
Dictators are seldom popular.
Hear me out, but Cook/Powell should release a letter saying ‘no’.
I was in Mumbai with a friend in 2007. My friend couldn’t handle the relatively calm places, had a breakdown and shuttered himself in a hotel room for two days. So, hypothetically, if we were to drop Stephen Miller into Mumbai, let’s not make it the middle. Let’s drop him into Dharavi!
Well, we don’t have to imagine, unfortunately…
