Seen recently on Linked-In, as an alternative name for Republicans. R soles. Still laughing at the exceedingly polite insult. Must have been from a Canadian.

Critics allege Trump is "stealing the money" from his own party to cover future legal fees and post-presidency travel.

Thank you to Callaway Golf and Good Good Golf for their absolutely *stellar* lesson on why DEI makes such great business sense. If even *one* of the seats at the table was occupied by someone other than a whyte bro-dude, we'd all be talking about something else today. youtube.com/shorts/KAScV...

Or, perhaps some of us choose to use y'all because it's the most inclusive way to address a large, diverse group of people. Assuming you understand the motivation and intentions of others is kind of a dick move.

Minor point but I really hate this performative “y’all” people do to try and appear more folksy. I don’t type in a Yorkshire accent and I did people would rightly tell me to shut up.

Loving all the creativity in these hydronym posts. Thanks, MapQuest!

South Canada? North Mexico? Nah. As we rename the United States of America, let's choose a three syllable phrase, reminiscent of Mar-a-Lago. País de Mierda.

Michelle@michelleroy78.bsky.social · 4w ago

Canada and Mexico should just rename the US to “South Canada” and "North Mexico" and call it a day.

Thou shalt refer to Howard Lutnick as "Howard Nutlick" from now on. The Lord has spoken.

Even with dementia, Fred Trump Sr. put on a suit every day & went to the office, where his phone only called his secretary, and his the documents he signed were blank. The people around him pretended everything was normal, while not letting him actually DO anything. Time to revisit that playbook.

Half a lifetime ago, I worked at York University's student newspaper, The Excalibur, with @dougsaunders.bsky.social. This may well be the finest article he's ever written.

Doug Saunders@dougsaunders.bsky.social · 4w ago

Since we’re considering trade reprisals — I wrote last year about how easy it would be for Canada to make toilet paper completely unavailable to Americans. It could be done without any tariffs or embargoes. It may be happening already. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Too late, Loblaws. The fact that it even *occurred* to you to do this means you'll never see another dime from me.

The reason the world is upset with Israel is because of the 700,000+ innocent Palestinians they've murdered. It's not because they're Jewish. Hope that helps.

Hairstylists, please help! The only time I can get these tousled beach waves is after I've worked up a good sweat in the garden. The rest of the time, my hair is stick-straight. Any suggestions for how I can recreate these fun and sexy waves?

Joe Biden took an hours-long secret train ride into war-torn Ukraine, and Trump got hustled away in a catering truck to get out of a friendly nation. OK.

I'm sorry, they snuck President Trump off Air Force One in an airport catering truck? What?

If Donald Trump is saying Canada has ”nasty leadership,” then our government is standing up to the Tangerine Wankmaggot. Good.

Normal parents move heaven and earth to retrieve a child's favourite sleep-with-it-and-carry-it-everywhere toy. Not Rep. Max Miller. He purposely - and repeatedly - withholds his two year old daughter's blue bunny for...what? Divorce leverage? A power flex? The visceral pleasure of being cruel?

Abby Vesoulis@abbyvesoulis.bsky.social · 2mo ago

NEW: Regarding the claims that Rep. Max Miller withheld his toddler's "blue bunny," I have some new screenshots suggesting there was a pattern of Miller not giving the bunny back. There were pleas from multiple people on multiple dates. (Thread: 1/8)

When the Orange Stain & all his sycophantic supporters are voted out, impeached, jailed, or otherwise dispatched, I hope the next Democratic President gives @marcelias.bsky.social the Congressional Medal of Freedom. If the United States manages to keep its democracy, it will be because of this man.

Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

Data Centers are not "job creators." They are resource extractors, siphoning off our water and power.

Late last summer, I started with some very meagre transplants, hoping to start a garden in the ditch. My efforts are starting to pay off. 💛

Dear Prime Minister Carney, You're doing a great job leading Canada. I'm sure you'll handle the latest threats from the U.S. just fine. A suggestion: On Aug 19, turn off the electricity across the north east. No lights, no A/C, no industry. Agree to turn it back on once Cabinet invokes the 25th.
