Really very good. Should keep an eye on that one.

Of COURSE he would. He doesn’t give a shit about people, only ratings. It’s his most consistent pattern (of many patterns). Eyes wide open, folks.

What a fucking shock. Oh wait, no, we all knew this was going to happen. One more step toward theocracy.

Huh. Good article, although the headline is a bit crap. Good sentiment, too.

Criminy. Well, my days of not taking Meta seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Beef stew for dinner tonight, with all due credit to Kenji Lopez-Alt, whose phenomenal recipes I keep daring to adapt.

But I’m mad that gelatin works.

Oh man, I’d love to think you were right. Maybe in this day and age of digital accountability, it’ll be so. Too often history is written by the victors.

So, he was talking, is what you’re saying.

Yeah sorry, I would have commented on that delicious-looking shawarma. But then we had a whole thing about it at the Meeting and unilaterally decided it was intolerant and somehow bigoted. I honestly didn’t follow, but I don’t wanna go to jail.

What’s really horrifying is that I can easily imagine a MAGA troll saying this earnestly, and I had to go and check to make sure you were sane. :P

Relevant to my thoughts about the current state of media, especially ‘new media’ like Xitter.

( @timminchin.bsky.social is bloody brilliant, you should watch his stuff. )

That pretty much seems to be what they think.

Miss you also, friend. It’s been too damn long. But holding onto you all the same, distance be damned.

Trying to hold onto the spirit, so you all get the Thanksgiving toast as well.

Hey friends. The world has gone more than a little crazy, and the best thing we can do to weather it is hold fast to our loved ones; to talking and working and living together, not apart.

Here’s to all of you.

May 2017 cover, really arresting visual. Wish we’d never had to roll it out again.

Hah. I dare Elon to create a similar petition for the US and see how many people sign it. :P

Platform of uninhibited free speech, my arse. What a joke.

Simple. Little Donnie is a fucking idiot.

If you acknowledge that international cooperation has had an enormous effect on trafficking and illegal immigration both, his entire narrative falls apart. So he has to make believe that these issues are something Canada - or Mexico - can just ‘solve’.

Look up ‘flyting’ some time. The Vikings used to do this and it was wild.

People want to believe that it will help, or that it will force manufacturing back to the US. It’s an ignorant, xenophobic view, and they underestimate exactly how costly it’s going to be.

This. Absolutely this. Keep exposing truth where you find it, and do not let them have an easy road to any of their abominations.

Yep. People literally voted to excuse Trump, and they knew it. Do I wish they hadn’t? More than almost anything. But if wishes were dollars, right? It makes us sick, but there’s no reason to blow now-scant political capital on this shit.

It’s really creepy, na? Most of the good people have left, and they’re just yelling into the void now.

Also, Elon is posting literally hundreds of times a day, and that’s SUPER weird.
