Dunking on Alberta separatists. #CdnPoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKou...
Luke Beasley — war correspondent. Didn’t see that coming! Great to see him teamed up w/ Caolan Robertson reporting from the frontline of the war in Ukraine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=exO-...
Good grief... what a loon. 🙄
Exactly.
Wonder how Trump and his team of press hacks will attempt to spin this...
Wasn’t that an absolutely infuriating interview? No surprise to discover that Emmer took a boatload of money from the NRA and proudly bragged about getting an A+ rating from that group of cynical ghouls, grifters, and death merchants.
Very odd behaviour. 🤨
😆 My thoughts, exactly.
Dammit. Not the news I was hoping for when following that trending tag. 🤨
A cool lighting effect.
Surprisingly informative video about Canada’s major seaports. Who knew that Mercedes ships into Nanaimo as the first port of entry? That is so counterintuitive. Honestly don’t think I could have named all ten... maybe six or seven. 😉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUJZ...
Great rant about thoughts and GDF prayers... It’s beyond a joke at this point, but Selvig’s facetious trolling of future resident of Hell, Wayne LaPierre, was awesome! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kasw...
Great day for cloud watching! Pareidolia galore.
The wonder of leaves...
Wow! What a delightful discovery. HTF did I miss this up to now? (Question answered in the video.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2uR...
Word on the street... (such drama!). 🧐
Speaking of mundane... have you seen the way The Free Dictionary displays its thesaurus results? Cool.
Mundane but eye-catching things...
D’oh! How such deepy incompetent and thoroughly inept people keep getting away with murder, so to speak, is forever mystifying...
Gotta love the way the incompetence of these evil bastards always manages to shine through. Not that it seems to affect the faithful. Heard today that Trump’s personal favorability rating was like 44%. Incredible.
Whilst our minds are engaging this gruesome subject, there’s a reason why the topic seems more relevant today than ever. #CdnPoli #51stState www.washingtonian.com/2025/01/08/i...
Fascinating discussion about modern urban warfare w/ historian and researcher (+ too many other qualifications to list) John Spencer. “Shield of the Republic” really is one of the most illuminating podcasts out there, imho. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1jp...
Ah, yes… America’s “far away” military… 😆 Great seeing Trump — finally! — getting called out on his heinous abuse of the language; something which I hope never becomes “normalized”. The erratic capitalization is especially annoying. (Almost as bad as those who write in all lower-case.)
Think we need to fact check that... I suspect the figure to be higher. 😉
Not so fast there, bub. 😉 showcrime.com/washington-d...
Among other things... I can only take about 10 minutes at a time of the steaming pile of excrement that is “Truth” Social. The unhinged psychopathy and relentless torrent of fact-free bullshit and demented nonsense being posted by the Trump cultists is unbearable.
😆 www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBxM...
Apparently not. showcrime.com/washington-d...
Brings to mind a book (forget the author offhand) who years ago back when she was still semi-relevant, wrote a bio of Sarah Palin and noted that there are 60+ churches in Wasilla, a town of < 10,000 people (also reputed to be the meth capital of Alaska). tinyurl.com/4sfzkxzx
Admire your forbearance in tangling with these smug, hypocritical, sanctimonious idiots on their home turf. 👍
Too funny. Wasn’t Trump reflectively whining the other day about being at the bottom of the totem pole (an odd figure of speech in this context) about getting to heaven? tinyurl.com/4ef9zuer
Bravo. 👏
The shameless nerve of these monumental hypocrites... It beggars belief. emmerforcongress.com/2020/09/17/n...
In a word: pathetic. Emmer is a disgrace. As is every hack politician that sides with the NRA and then spouts sanctimonious nonsense after the fact of yet another mass shooting.
A more absurd claim could hardly be imagined. 🙄 abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...
Never really thought of it as such up to now (esp. as I’m still using version 7 from 20 years ago), but here Photoshop is considered an “AI tool”... Oh wait... don’t YOU use Photoshop? Hmmm. p.s. People getting mad over this seems rather silly to me. comparemysoftware.com/befunky-vs-a...
A Norwegian bibliophile vs a couple of tendentious online pseudo-historians... Highly entertaining. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnSo...
Fun with flags. 😆 www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF1f...
I get the objections to “AI-generated slop” but am curious to know where the “red line” is for these righteous scolds between using a plug-in or filter in Photoshop (or whatever) and an assistive tool like Befunky is, esp. when the input is an original photograph. 🤷♂️
There’s a whole rabbit hole that’s fun to go down about state and city flags (most of which are just atrocious trainwrecks design-wise) that’s fun to explore if you’re inclined to such matters. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYwh...
OMG! You’re not actually drawing by hand! In fact, you’re using... dun dun dun... software! Give me a break. Excellent video, btw. 👍
Ugh, those two. Hume is an insufferable crank (kind of an even grumpier, dimestore version of George Will) and Stossel is one of those insufferable libertarian types who are, as much as anything, just contrarians.
Possibly not the only one whose mind immediately raced to this... www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZll...
Perhaps so. Guess I share Olbermann’s perplexity at his change of heart/mind from back in the days when he seemed like a fairly sensible “conservative” legal scholar. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA3A...
This is insane. Sorry, there’s no other way to put it. Trump’s tariffs have not brought in “trillions” so far ($3 trillion is the high estimate of what they may garner over a decade... just enough to offset the tax cuts for the rich in the BBB). Tariffs are a very small contributor to fed revenue.
Would be awesome if someone figured out a way to reward and express appreciation to these folks for their efforts. A Go Fund Me for the Miccosukee people perhaps?
These pitches are often disturbingly close to reality. What happened to Turley? He’s really lost his mind over the last 15 years or so...
Mine, you might notice, is just a picture I took while at the beach.
Well, aren’t you just too precious? Wondered how you created your garishly juvenile header but info on your “process” is locked behind paywalls. Hmmm.
Welcome to the club. Some of us were even born that way. 😉
Get a life. Sheesh. 🙄
Fractally wrong...
The comments to this post are hilarious. Would be interested to see a public poll question along the lines of: “Are you currently praying for Trump’s death?” Perhaps with a follow-up: “And by what means, in particular?”
Almost as if Lankford was crafted in a laboratory tasked with creating the archetypal lying, pasty white douchebag politician capable of speaking out of both sides of their mouth. Here he is explaining why 2+2 doesn’t necessarily equal 4... if you follow the math. 🙄
Cognitive dissonance on full display here as Lankford attempts to explain why 2+2 doesn’t equal 4. 🙄
Hard to believe it’s even real (though quite certainly is).
Wow! Almost surreal.
A facetious but thought-provoking question. Seems Amerika is getting all of the rotten, crappy downsides of an oligarchic, authoritarian regime with none of the social benefits and public deliverables such forms of government are empowered or enabled to provide.
Cool swag.
Like Canadians can’t handle shitty weather... Try living in Winnipeg where you’ve got snow from Halloween to late March, almost literally half the year! Where spring is an ugly crap pile of mud (as the snow melts) and summer is intolerably hot and humid, etc. I could go on...😆
This couple are great for their uplifting attitude & unabashed patriotic cheerleading. Never thought I’d be endorsing let alone praising such things, but here we are...🤷♂️🍁 Also, so disappointed in the EPL and, well, Alberta in general.😠 #CdnPoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZrv...
Haven’t heard this in ages. Who could have imagined as kids growing up back in the 70s that some of the top rock bands of the day would still be performing 50 years later as ancient geezers? The notion would have seemed laughably ridiculous... #MusicSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh4D...
Context... (for the kids). www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV85...
Yeah... poor weather, that’s the ticket. 🙄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjQC...
Speaking of tough choices... Perhaps the best (or most horrifyingly delightful) of the deaths, imo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec-A...
I could never really quite get into “Dr Phibes”… It just creeped me out too much as a kid. Personally, more of a “Theatre of Blood” fan. It's so gloriously and unashamedly over the top. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RwL...
Indeed… far from it. As Claus astutely points out here, this asinine mishigas over tariffs could be prolonged indefinitely within the entanglement of the US “justice” system, something which Trump has spent a lifetime cynically exploiting to his own advantage. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persona...
How anyone gives this utterly ridiculous asshat and fatuous buffoon the time of day will never cease to astonish me. Yet here he is, once again, tooling around the Sunday yak-shows spewing absolute nonsense.
Uh, oh. www.psypost.org/scientists-f...
The hellhole that half of America loathes and despises. 😆
Those needless apostrophes are aggravating. 😠 EVs... not EV’s.
Good take on the recent decision by the Federal Court of Appeals concerning the legality of Trump’s egregious abuse of the IEEPA authority, upholding a prior ruling by the CIT. Worth reading (if you have the patience to wade through it): tinyurl.com/4b6sn4eh www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1P7...
Broken clocks and all that. Something I might actually agree with the Trump regime on... 😉 www.designboom.com/architecture... www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
Got that right! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe3q...
Absolutely loved this idea; brings out the best in people. Politics as a joyful activity rather than a nasty, vitriolic hatefest. Wonder if it will be copied in other cities... #Mamdani
As is often the case with fascist regimes... what initially starts as a “joke” before too long actually becomes a horrendously awful and grim reality.
IKR? Quelle surprise.
Ah, who doesn’t love dogs? Oh, right; that fucking guy... www.newsweek.com/trump-seemin...
Needed that. Dogs are the best. ❤️
Shocking. 😉 www.psypost.org/trump-suppor...
Sadly typical of Republicans and right-wingers more generally speaking... say one thing and do the exact opposite. Hypocrisy just seems to be a way of life for them. Maybe it has something to do w/ the cognitive dissonance they must experience from their stupid ideas/beliefs not aligning w/ reality.
Thanks.
Wonder if anyone is keeping track of the myriad of lawsuits that have been filed against the Trump regime for their wrongful/illegal actions... from the unwarranted DOGE firings, to now the thuggish actions of ICE/DHS, etc. All of which will be costing taxpayers untold millions.
Here’s a gift link to the article so you can read it. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...
Doubtful that Carney is going to join in on this game of trolling Trump, although some are having fun imagining if the PMO did. #CdnPoli
The rotten cynicism and shameless dishonesty of these people is astonishing. A reality check here (and this was back in 2020!): tinyurl.com/3vtwe6tf #LaborDay hannity.com/media-room/p...
What the actual fuck? Sounds more than a little ominous and menacing, doesn’t it?
Cool. 👍🍁 More info here: tinyurl.com/33ump27e www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Hpa...
Gotta love the enthusiasm of these guys for the subject matter... The “Silver Age” comic books (which I grew up on) are now seen as often highly problematic in numerous ways, but nonetheless can also still be downright goofy fun. #comics www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRg5...
Hey, let’s check out “Bizarro World” (seems appropriate, after all given the current, um, reality we find ourselves in) which was a feature of the DC comic universe, but never really probed all that deeply into its conceptual origins. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkHM...
And this a guy who’s battling pancreatic cancer! Also... www.youtube.com/shorts/Wh7vF...
Me too. 👍
Funny thing is that Trump probably doesn't even have a clue about the crackpot scheme his regime is concocting.
Had to look up the one in the top-right quadrant... Funnily, enough turns out to be a Canadian Thistle. Go figure.
What a petulant child Trump is.
