So that happened: I was reaching to scratch an itch on one side of my head and I accidentally smacked myself in the face.

“Ford has done so many things to undermine sustainable growth of cities! Plan to rip out bike lines for a culture war, turning Ontario Place into I think his future casino, ripping up urban forest - doing opposite of what our cities need!” Cc

Toad sat on the edge of his bed. “Blah,” said Toad. “I feel down in the dumps.”

An incoherent, incompetent, incontinent p*dophile decides whether we live or die.

im just really fucking sick of spending my entire adult life lurching from one worldwide economic disaster to another all because people pretend republicans arent dumb as dog shit morons completely detached from reality

It just keeps getting stupider.

<sigh> Yeah. The Clown Shoes Cabinet.

Tennessee Republicans gerrymandered the state to carve up metro Nashville into three different congressional districts, and this is the result -- a large Muslim community whose own "representative" is now endangering them.

still think a dream tv show id like to see is basically "dynasty in space." like with all the space shit of star trek but lots of soap opera drama.

Oh that’s bad.

I think I know

Well.

What a fucking disaster spiraling into a global catastrophe.

Just because you can connect to your neighbor's bluetooth speaker and play ghost noises doesn't mean you should.

Well.

I am going to quietly scream and try to read while I do ADHD wait mode until my 11am appointment to get my CPAP for sleep apnea at which appointment the person fitting me for a sleep mask will almost undoubtably be unmasked.

At a medical supplier with the word “pulmonary” in its name.

I might be a bit early in saying this as I've only been up for an hour, but so far today is looking like an okay day, gut pain wise.

The radar installation in Qatar that was destroyed by Iran was a strategic level asset.

You're probably picturing a big radar dish. The AN/FPS-132 is more of a massive, multistory concrete building that looks like a cut pyramid. A major civil engineering project. There was ONE in the Middle East.

Canada’s forgotten universal basic income experiment Amid wide unemployment during Covid-19, basic income schemes have gained fresh relevance. A successful Canadian scheme that's over four decades old could provide a road map for others.

A radical rethink is needed. For example, everyone gets a basic income and is encouraged to work for luxuries. Money saved from deciding who merits benefits can be used to help everyone get meaning, dignity and social network from work life until retirement. www.bbc.co.uk/worklife/art...

the widespread adoption of genAI has just made me want UBI more. I don’t think we get original, human-made art and writing unless people have time, security, and stability

If you're working in the AI space, you need to be pushing for universal basic income RIGHT NOW. It's not good enough to just say UBI may be needed in the future. And put your money where your mouth is, or else people will assume you're lying about the capabilities of AI and/or will push against AI.

A scrupulously honest young pig who saw me drop my wallet, and is now putting off everything it had planned for the day to rush through this wildflower meadow and kindly return it to me.

THREAD.

Some excellent pigs I have met on walks in the British countryside.

IDF soldiers anally raped the Palestinian man with a knife and were caught on camera. They also severely beat him. The victim required surgery for a perforated rectum.

The IDF is now dropping charges because of the outcry from the Israeli public IN SUPPORT OF THE RAPISTS.

He arrived at #Auschwitz on 20 December 1943 in a transport of 850 Jews deported from Drancy. He was among 505 people murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

Big part of my deal is reminding liberals our media habits are very different from the average non political person. And I don’t mean that in a value judgement way, I watch garbage tv too. But it means people simply aren’t aware of 99.9% of the stuff we think is “everywhere.”

LOVE these colours.
