I want more of this. It started very slow, but it finished STRONG. I also require more of Manny Jacinto in this role. Holy shit. #TheAcolyte #StarWars#TheAcolyte #StarWars

Step four of "make tea" is pretty consistently "walk away and forget tea exists," thus leading to step five, "microwave tea and walk way, forgetting tea exist." Step six: "go back to five." It's not a good system. #tea #possibleADHD#tea #possibleADHD

A huge portion of the "replace #Biden" discourse in the liberal/centre is panic dressed up as reason. Look, regardless of how you or I feel about it, he's not going away. The party is not going to move to replace him. It's too late. This is the candidate you've got. He's an 81-year-old […]

I predict, in a month, we will have almost entirely forgotten the "make him step down" conversation in favour of something equally dumb if not more so. To be clear, Joe Biden supports *genocide*. This is a comment on America's thoroughly fucked media and political culture, not in support of […]

2/2 #Canada When Canadian conservatives brought doughnuts to the convoy carrying nazi flags it should have been Canadian media’s first clue. Then months later Putin ran his own mock-convoy as a shout out. Pierre Poilievre’s wife’s family has deep ties to Russian Oligarchs but Global missed […]

The "Biden's old" bullshit is exactly like "Hilary's a crook" and "Trudeau's a traitor." These are terrible people who did some horrific things. But the right rarely* attacks them for it bc they SUPPORT those horrors, and their base would like them more if they knew. Instead, the right makes up […]

@LALegault @PBruce That was my reaction. It's a minority. Those are rare in France, but they were rare in Canada until very recently. We're in divided times, and those divisions are showing even in our coin-flip of a voting system. One thing remains true, though: the majority Do Not Want […]

Debian really burns through battery power, huh? I've been farting around for an hour, and it's gone from 85% to 30%. This is an old laptop with an equally old battery, but still. I hadn't counted on it being *that* limited. Alas. #Linux #Debian #FOSS #OpenSource#FOSS#Debian#Linux #Debian #FOSS #OpenSource

Hey, just a word, it's rhetorically useless to say that the bad kinds of #Christians aren't "real Christians" or whatever. The logic is already specious—"One True Scotsman" stuff—but let's get real: loads of Christians and their churches have for CENTURIES been doing *exactly* the kind of shit […]

@mekkaokereke NB: I think Biden is a fucking monster, but he's a slower monster than Trump, and that's what we're stuck with.

This is really interesting article. Translation reduces the clarity, but the point is: neoliberalism created the conditions for fascism (the "far right") to flourish. It made the hardships that fascists (spuriously!) cite as evidence that immigrants/POC/trans ppl/women/etc are at fault for […]

@GottaLaff Alas, Laffy has blocked me for pointing out that Biden has fully supported genocide in Gaza. It's too bad, bc I liked her posts, but I'm not going to sugarcoat a clear attempt to commit mass murder in the tens of thousands, break an entire nation, and scatter it to the wind. If you […]
