If Donald tries to give me a pair of shoes I'll release the files.

I'm so sorry. I hope you're
OK. These jerks are everywhere, it seems.

Do you expect me to send you flowers for saying something so obvious that it insults my intelligence? I never promised you politeness, and I didn't just fall off the turnip truck yesterday. I'm actually quite well read on this subject, thanks.

After watching this shit show in Iran can we now agree that maybe having academics isn’t a bad thing?

It's so cute how some of you dudes still mansplain, like it's 2021 or something.

I mean, women can have "doctor" in their handles, and published books/grants in their profiles, and it's still like "Well actually, have you considered going to a library? It's a place where you can go read books."

then it doesn't answer my question, does it? Congrats. I too have published five books.

Wow, so helpful and not at all snarky! Thanks, Captain Obvious! I was actually asking a serious question directed to serious people who read books, rather than just being a dizzy dame who just arrived on social media yesterday. So feel free to scroll on by if you don't have book recs to share, thx!

Shi**y newspaper
that endorsed Stephen Harper in 2011, saying that economic
growth was more
important than democracy, says what now?

Can anybody recommend a good book about the politics/history of labour unions?
Everything I've read is boring as dirt, a lot of blah blah blah about capital and post-Fordism. I'd like to read something that has a few people in it, like some workers for example

Suburban boomers: There are too many intoxicated people downtown, more police needed as I am uncomfortable with substance abuse occurring outside the golf club setting

Also suburban boomers: Drinking and driving? That could happen to anyone! Judge not lest ye be judged. Give the poor guy a break!

I literally saw on Facebook someone blaming a downtown Councillor for traffic in Tim Tierney's Ward.

Suburban boomers on suburban City Councillor: Drinking and driving? Oopsie! What bad luck! All is forgiven!

Suburban boomers on downtown City Councillors: This year's heavy snow was the inevitable result of leftist Councillors' woke-ism

Is the Premier of Nova Scotia OK? Watching a clip of his press conference.
He seems er, tired and emotional, as the Brits would say.
Also, he's wearing his Nova Scotis flag pin sideways, which resembles the nautical flag used for "help, I'm stuck in the water"

Tourists! Come to Nova Scotia! Where there is no need for tourist information centres, since there will be nothing left to do except freeze your ass off on the beach and fall off your pub stool drinking awful Keiths while the microbreweries and wineries go out of business!

Shoutout to the genius who just drove on the wrong side of the road on Clegg Street to pass me, and then turned left on red on Colonel By, just as kids are walking to Hopewell School.

Has he been taking driving lessons from a City Councillor for Orleans, or?

OTD in 1944 the Red Air Force carpet bombed Narva, then Red Army used artillery to finish the job. As a deliberate act, hundreds of civilians died & thousands were made refugees. We then repopulated it with Russians.

Imagine something like this happening in the 21st century.

This aged well … good riddance, Kristi Noem.

In a rare moment of watching CBC, I hear an ad for the news with Adrienne Arsenault's voice saying "In this rapidly
changing world...." with a video image of Vladimir Putin.
(Putin has been President 26 years this month).

Kristi Noem, you admitted under oath to me that you broke the law. Losing your job won’t protect you from accountability when we take back the House.

And the buck doesn't stop here. We must abolish ICE and make Trump and his entire administration answer for their lawlessness.

I shudder when I think of how many people were leaving Bluesfest at the same time, and trying to get home.
