"well you see first you disarm your armies and then you welcome over the Wehrmacht"
I mean...he did write the playbook. That part is right. This is like inviting Heinrich Himmler because "he knows Hitler real good"
I wouldn't call it a curbstomping, unfortunately
you got got
Greasy PP wants to get rid of the TFW program but replace it with a program that allows farmers to import wage slave labour for agriculture only. While the TFW program has been abused by many businesses, PP just wants to get the immigrant brown people out of Tim's windows and onto farms.
That's what happens when people talk about books they haven't read.
You know the right doesn't read
When we read Frankenstein in English 100 some students were indeed shocked when they realized Frankenstein's monster was a victim and the real villain was humanity.
once again tapping the sign
Sex happens most in stable, long term relationships with prodigious free time. Young people can't get paid fairly, can't afford places to live, and have been taught to have multiple side hustles. When are they supposed to fuck?
it may be that it's circulating on Tik Tok but ultimately answering someone banging on a door with lethal force is a clear indication of the failure of....everything in America
reading the article is even worse. a guy shot an 18 year old in Virginia. another guy killed 3 16 year olds by ramming them with his vehicle in revenge for getting a ding dong dash and then the last few paragraphs are cops blaming the children for playing a prank, not the psychos who shoot them
Graham Greene was in so many movies I remember fondly, but perhaps the late career performance that got me the most was his voice/mocap performance as Rains Fall in RDR2. Rockstar avoids casting "known" actors these days, but that role needed someone with gravitas, with great skill. He'll be missed.
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
get some snus and then when you import the snus I can get you to add on these little packages of dip mix I like
I think the thing that offends me the most is that dweeb hijacking the name "Jim Kirk".
Hell yeah
the move is to eat all of the fancy cheese
it's the Harry Potter of it all, too. Magic words and wand motions = definable outcomes appeals to way too many people
"do not make me use my imagination. whatever you, do not make me use my imagination" men are the worst
So the whole thing here is most likely the cause is underpaid overnight workers just not giving a fuck. I don't care if Loblaws gets punished but let's just admit the issue is that they pay crap and as a result workers don't care www.cbc.ca/news/busines...
Oh good you did it for me

This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:
Can someone get the 911 call if it exists?
Also this is the funniest thing I have ever said

Absolutely. Gotta keep things clean
He's added a few more, and some of them are perfection
@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.
We don't know how this will end, but the fact that New Delhi, Beijing, and Moscow are talking in this fashion is an incredible strategic failure on the side of Donald Trump. If they make strides it's a huge blow to the liberal world order politicalwire.com/2025/08/31/x...

Everyone's saying Arch Manning this, Arch Manning that. Well the only Arch I recognize is the empty grave next to Arch Stanton.
You can't have a gay crosswalk to commemorate a slaughter of gay folks, but you can have a statue of a Confederate general who fought to keep millions of Black people in shackles
The thing about a lot of these never Trump Republicans is that, unlike a lot of institutionalist Dems who think the fever will break and we can all return to comity or whatever, these guys saw the rot up close and know the only appropriate response is to tear them out of government root and branch.
the real downfall of society is captured perfectly in the rise of dave portnoy
Someone will be quietly whispering into Eric's ear what's happening, Tiffany will be there but completely ignored, and Barron will be texting Nazi memes from the bathroom like the shitty kid in Knives Out. The only living Democratic politician there will be Hillary, "just to make sure".
Kristi Noem will keep insisting she didn't take him out to any quarries. RFK Jr will loudly blame any and all vaccines, and then cry that nobody has ever loved him better than his brainworms. Don Jr will be covered from chin to forehead in white powder while Ivanka will force a single tear
god if the thing is real the funeral is going to be incredible. it's going to be right out of Death of Stalin. Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon will be trying to out-fake mourn each other. JD Vance and Ron DeSantis will wear their finest platform shoes.
He is taking calls from many people saying, "wow, I can't believe how strong you are now that you're dead." They are even saying he could chop down more trees than George Washington.
False Dmitries are simply wonderful.
Goodness, if the President has a serious health problem I certainly hope he follows the expert medical advice of his Secretary of Health and Human Services
Yeah, I mean, it's a big city. People go out windows all the time, I suppose. But the landmark impact of the three "big defenestrations". Fun though, what a thing for a city to be known for
there were actually 3
Well he lost his first riding so he had to have second riding. It is very funny that he picked basically the most blue place in the country. He knows he was humiliated when he lost in Carelton.
Pierre Polievre, the snake, wants to adopt Florida-like Stand Your Ground laws to allow his favourite people (white) to kill anyone they deem a threat to their homes. The current laws vastly favour people acting to defend their homes. This guy can't wait to import American ideals to Canada.
BIG STRONG MEN WITH TEARS IN THEIR EYES SAID, "SIR, YOU ARE THE BEST MOST BEAUTIFUL DEAD I'VE EVER SEEN."
I was kind of thinking a flight would be a nice place to hear it. Captain has to come on and announce it and everyone cheers except for two people crying in the corner, and we all sing "na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye" together, and everyone claps. Obama was there
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch? More like LlanfairgonnaloseatrugbytoCanada!
why would they stop at the edge of where they are most needed? sad, really. it's so easy to share the road with a cyclist, either way.
when I go to Montreal, I park at a park and ride and take the subway. It goes everywhere I need. It's incredible.
I mean, Sure I'd have a car if I lived in Wolfville, but I'd walk if the weather was good, or bike! And if you added a little bike lane there, people would use it! People used to say the same stuff about sidewalks in rural areas too. "oh who is gonna walk" then they put them in and people walk!
all their extra letters! fuckin WELSH
yep, he's a thundering smoothbrain. (of course it could be worse, we could be in Alberta)
you are not wrong about that. I live in ON and I'm watching as Dumb Ford pulls tolls on the provincial part of the 407 and then is shocked that the highway fills up, with no impact to the 401. It's called induced demand, or "if you build it they will come". But he lives in rightwing dreamworld.
Every bike on the road is a car that isn't there! Every bus full of 50 people is 50 cars that aren't there! I don't know why this is so hard to understand!
the myth that bike lanes somehow make it worse for cars is such utter nonsense
He 100% is
Yep. All the stuff Newsom is getting credit for, like fighting back against gerrymandering, he would get the *exact same amount of celebration*, or *more*, if he wasn't also going after trans people. Pritzker just got a good moment in the sun and he's absolutely on fire on all points. Look there!
Gotcha. Well pal, we'll hope real hard
Ahhh yeah that seems very much not a smoking gun
@nataliereed84.bsky.social okay what's up? I'm missing critical context and everyone is posting around the thing happening
To be clear that was a sarcastic oh no
Oh no
Yeah I mean that's just true of all laws and rules. Idk what to tell you. People speed all the time. Rules will be broken and incorrectly enforced, and cops aren't the solution to basically any problem. But civil regulation can work over time. There is no overnight fix for guns.
I've long thought the answer is more around controlling who can get weapons plus public health approaches. Everyone should have to learn more about guns. Idk, the bullshit the libs have pulled in Canada around banning guns has always seemed dumb to me because it doesn't work
Some do, yeah. I mean, GameStop still exists, and most of the hodl people probably forgot they have shares. But ultimately memestocks haven't really been a thing. But! Look at what just happened with Cracker Barrel. I bet some people made tons shorting that stock.
The NFT bubble absolutely popped. Crypto still exists but ultimately it's up in the air what is going to happen to it. My guess is that the big ones (Bitcoin, Etherium) continue to survive, but memecoins will eventually slowly die off.
It's going to be really funny in a few years when they do this again
For years I've thought they could just write down the whole damn thing as a holodeck creation and flush it down the toilet.
It's going to take 50 years to fix all of this. "The reason your child died of contaminated food is Donald Trump" they'll be saying in fucking 2063.
now we're talking about a level of investment and procurement that will make it by far the most powerful service and move it to a top 15 navy globally, maybe even top 10, that's something else
my entire life the Navy has been losing capacity at an incredible rate. The Halifax class are a venerable group of warriors but they've been brutalized by underfunding and mission creep. the Iroquois class was literally ridden until they collapsed under the crews. the Victoria class subs are a joke
but basically back to the beginning, Canada procuring 12 boats is basically saying "we do not want the American navy to handle our patrol needs in the north and pacific" and oh boy is that a huge policy change
and don't get me started on the Zumwalt class destroyers, my god
there was a lot of weird experimentation in littoral waters but you basically just need corvettes or frigates to manage it. that's why the Americans went back to a standard frigate to replace the Freedom and Independence class boondoggles
the River-class destroyers are huge - double the displacement of the Halifax-class frigates they are replacing. 24 VLS silos and a full AEGIS combat suite. Are you gonna send those stonky bois out to fight the turbot wars?
feels like we need 6-12 corvette-sized ships to allow the arctic offshore patrol ships to be focused on, you know, the arctic
but we're reducing the actual number of surface boats as the 12 Kingston class ships are apparently going to be replaced by the AOPS DeWolf class, which is weird. Will the River class be doing fisheries patrols and near-shore patrols? That seems like a waste of their capabilities
assuming they pick the German/Norwegian boats for the subs, that's gonna be...232,000 tonnes. today's RCN is 110k tonnes. we're talking about doubling the displacement of the Navy
the RCN's plan for ~2050 is weird. 12 conventional subs 15 of the new River class frigates 6 Harry deWolf class AOPS 2 Protecteur class supply vessels
www.cbc.ca/news/politic... 12? boy I am curious why we are buying 12 subs
Set it in Cape Breton and have everyone talk in Caper accents
It's not easy to be memorable for the right reasons. Celebrate the little things!
If you're addressing a bunch of blue collar workers it's okay to change your language to represent that. If you're addressing a bunch of social academics it's okay to change your language to be appropriate there too.
The idea of purging the language is because Dems are afraid of Fox News getting a clip of them saying "incarcerated people". Motherfucker, if you do everything "perfectly" they'll still find an angle. They aren't actually covering you from a news perspective.
There is more of an argument here than many of my leftist friends think, but it doesn't involve purging language, but in fact speaking inclusively and picking one's language for their audience, and *educating* on what these terms mean. Why they are important.
When I was growing up, there was a horse on the bottle of glue I used in first grade.
I don't remember. Who are you again?
Hell yeah bro that sounds like a great party
Cigars and champagne. Can't wait
Never.
He was very good in person with his trans fans too. Growing up going to SF cons, I met many trans people before I even knew what trans meant. I gave my parents very little they needed to accept in their child, so they had lots left over for everyone else. 😉 www.thepinknews.com/2021/08/06/t...
That'll just wash off. Honestly. Fucking cops just want to beat someone up
Woke: the radical notion that EVERYBODY deserves to be treated as well as a mediocre Christian straight white male.
You're allowed pablum on your own feed!
I do believe in free speech. That's how I know that authors withdrawing from a prize and the prize itself shutting down is not a free speech issue. John Boyne is a thundering dunderhead.
