How much has it gone up?
Right? Itβs complicated. Ugh. Brutal for the NDP, though.
Consumer feedback coded by what already looks like insufferable dudebros.
What could possibly go wrong, indeed.
The enshittification of consumerism has begun.
These guys arrogantly thinking they can effortlessly ascertain the human condition makes me think of this scene.
'Tehran is known for its poor air quality because of its geography β being "hemmed in" by mountains means pollutants are pushed down toward ground level...
'He said the Israeli policy decision to bomb the [oil] facilities in Tehran "was quite extraordinary in terms of civilian risk." '
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 10, 2026 Don Davies statement NDP Leader Don Davies issued the following statement: "We're very disappointed that Lori Idlout has decided to join the Liberal caucus. The position of the New Democrats on floor crossing is longstanding and clear. We believe that when someone rejects the decision of their electors and wants to join another party, they should put that decision to their voters. In a democracy, something as important as the choice of party representation in Parliament must always remain with our constituents. We believe that should happen here." β 30 β
What? Lori Idlout crossed to the Liberals?!
I Just Canβt Even tonight.
Iβm at the doctorβs with a large bag of chips with me to take home, because Iβm having that and guacamole for dinner.
But it feels like Iβve gone into a confessional with an AK-47 and an 8-ball.
No, you wonβt.
Honestly.
I live in Victoria. That protest is a joke. And my protesting Trump isnβt gonna change a fucking thing
This is on Americans.
If Iran has laid mines in the Strait of Hormuz, it would be a catastrophe for the global economy.
It would take weeks or months of specialised work to demine the route.
Trump is utterly out of his depth. All of this was long predicted by open source analysis of how a war with Iran could unfold.
Zed? I have never said βzeeβ in my life.
We have a hotel called Zedβs and a bed store called Zedβs Beds, so I donβt know what the βstereotypeβ is. Zed is the proper pronunciation in Canada.
The only ones who say Zee are Americans.
I don't care about them using that term because I think it reflects just how much that regime is debasing the office.
At least he wasn't murdered.
HE HAD TO ATONE
I know there are orchestrated campaigns against Reynolds these days and he does a lot of good stuff... but he also got married at a slavery plantation. [shrug]
So, yeah, maybe he's not the super-great guy I want him to be.
Sigh. Evernote, Meetup, Vimeo, and now⦠another one bites the dust.
Haha, excellent. Good choice, @seanorr.bsky.social.
I know, I'm mad!
Stop expecting celebrities to be people you'd like. Stop seeing them as anything more than someone who has a job they do well. That's all they are, someone good at their job.
They're not heroes or savants or geniuses or more plugged-in or respectable than you. Their POV is not worth vaunting.
Oh. And it turns out he's long dodged responsibility on being buddies with the Kushner/Trumps, who, of course, were at Murdoch's big bash too.
Guess Jackman is dead to me now. I love being old enough to see everyone I ever liked become a complete asshole.
"Oh but we have a No Kings protest on March 28th."
Shut the fuck up.
Be serious.
Every time he does this, I want to rain bombs down on the White House and Pentagon.
Every time, rage courses through my body.
Americans have no idea how much we fucking loathe your government, and, increasingly, the lack of action we see from Americans.
That last partβ¦utterly ridiculous that so many millions arenβt out in the streets protesting every week.
Instead they wait around every couple months for a one no kings protest.
*Disabled people excluded from this criticism
THAT. It fucking ENRAGES me how little push-back I've seen from Americans on all this.
The... defeatism, protecting of one's own interests, the assumption there WILL be elections, the presumption this is all a distraction.
As a Canadian, I'm fucking pissed off at my NEIGHBOUR acting like this.
I overlooked my/Victoria's Liberal MP's take on the Iran War's initial outbreak, and his stance criticizing Mark Carney.
Thanks, @wgreaves.bsky.social!

I was not previously aware of what a badass Maren Morris is. I mean, "dementia-ridden, diaper-clad, cornball ex-TV host" is pretty good!
Yeah, no, sometimes they just work right, right at the start, too. :)
It would be great if people could just fucking recognize that:
This is an evil regime.
Nothing is a distraction. Everything they are doing was part of the plan in Project 2025.
Calling things a distraction makes people unserious and foolish.
Not protesting these things is pathetic.
Did a spit-take with coffee and snorted it out my nose too, and I recommend neither.
What's hilarious is that these putatively commie-hating right-wing anti-coffee bros all end up sounding like Karl Marx
Is the US government seizing domains registered with registrars outside the US? And if so, are they just the US-controlled ones?
