As well as a Britannia Magic Dome, Tories will build a Halo Array, a Stargate, a Dark Tower, and a Death Star - named respectively Spirit of the Blitz, Maggie's Opening, Boris-Dûr, and Churchill's Clacker - funded by sales of a new wellness smoothie made with carrot, ginger, and poor people's tears.

Hahahahahahahahaha. Ha.
'There's no evidence of this' has really made me laugh.
Gabe Poirot says he spent 18 days in Heaven and met a Jesus who was six feet tall, made of fire, and overflowing with testosterone.

Fox treated this as news.

There's no evidence of this. Just a deeply manipulative story and a book to promote.

This one is a bit odd.

For years, Canada Customs seized pretty much any queer books entering Canada. Little Sisters Bookstore, a frequent target, took them to court. The arbitrary nature of CC's seizures was holding a shipment of this book based on title alone. They thought it was about sex.

A propos of nothing:

my grandfather was a politician who spent the last stretch of his career during the Berlusconi ascendance years.

he'd say you can lose and lose again, but the most important act for anyone involved in politics is to preserve the seeds of anti-fascism for the next generation.

Tucker Carlson evolving from simply apologia for Putin to "why did we fight WW2 anyway" is not even a radicalisation. These are the same viewpoint

The education thing always cracks me up because it is a fairly regular element of Russophile mythology but it is just false. When the Soviet Union invaded us in 1940, almost the entire population was literate. And in 1914, the Kovno Governorate had the largest percentage of literates in the Empire.
Oh we do have it— but from the perpetrators’ side, which we try to deny, both in the US and in Canada. That’s why seeing tankies going on about how Russia “civilized” the Baltic savages living in bark huts by graciously bringing them education was such a mindfuck in 2022

Residential school denialism does not deny the existence of the school system, but rather downplays, excuses or misrepresents facts surrounding the harms caused by it, experts say.

The real question here is why someone in 2026 died of Y. pestis, which is highly fatal *without treatment* but responds VERY well to your most basic antibiotics. We can treat the plague these days! So why didn’t they.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Just a reminder that these Haitian immigrants in Springfield -- who came here legally, did everything they were asked to do and more -- became a target of federal crackdowns because the white nationalist vice president shamelessly spread racist lies about them.

the other thing is that a lot of gentiles, from what i can tell, simply do not understand that asking a jewish person, even an anti-zionist, to never interact with members of the community who are in fact zionists, is really fundamentally antithetical to the nature of jewish communal life

How many Western political leaders have shown support for Lula before today's election where he faces Trump-backed Bolsonaro crime family again?

So much is at stake for all - just think of destruction of Amazon under Bolsonaro Sr vs Lula's efforts to protect Amazon.

Yet where is the solidarity?
