Largest Republican donor (by far): we should have a race war against non-whites. Corporate Media: Democrats really need to answer some hard questions about this Twitch streamer almost no one has ever heard of.

For a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.

Ken Sim’s re-election strategy for the last six months has been to keep his mouth shut about bitcoin or the park board or swagger or whatever he thinks about Sean Orr, say “drugs are bad and the World Cup was awesome”, and bank on his six opponents fighting themselves to a draw seems effective!

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Still cracking up over the idea of a movie asking "What if Scrooge had a point," because A) he didn't and B) it's not as if we haven't already had the entire run of DuckTales to explore this question

You know how sometimes people say there's a big pile of racism in the whole Alberta separation thing

Your reminder that Albertans vote on a referendum next month on whether the province should cut off temporary residents from health care and education — without knowing if Danielle Smith would do that to the 260,000 migrants already in Alberta. (Her office won't say) www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

ICYMI: the VPD budget increased by 48% from 2018 to 2024, but the number of traffic tickets they issue has fallen by 59% over that same time period. Why has traffic enforcement evaporated in Vancouver?

(1/3) With Dolly Parton's passing, I want to put good words on the wind for her. Feel free to quote reply with your own. Dolly became the single largest donor for the Moderna COVID vaccine because of a chance encounter and friendship with a Vanderbilt researcher Dr. Naji Abumrad years earlier. She

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

I much prefer doing my research amidst the flickering lanterns of an old-fashioned library in Prague during a raging thunderstorm with the help of a library ghost, so no, I'm afraid I have no interest in "asking ChatGPT."

These people will never shut the fuck up and make something worthwhile with their stupid slop machines but they will endlessly whine and whine and whine and whine about not getting credit for being able to pull the arm on a slot machine. Simply not enough scorn heaped upon them yet.

Spider-man fought off and vanquished Jake Lang at his protest today. Afterwards Spider-Man was arrested and Jake Lang was seen running for his life. 

Even with the noise cancelling in my earbuds cranked to max, I have no trouble hearing cars around me while riding. They are incredibly noisy, even at fairly low speeds (though I only listen to podcasts, not music, while riding, which helps)

Should cyclists wear headphones or earphones? Chair of Ireland’s parliamentary Committee on Transport wants your views -- It's an "extremely divisive subject" but little to suggest it's more distracting than a car radio....

There are two questions these people need to answer: 1. How does a vehicle approaching from behind that is about to hit you sound different from a vehicle approaching from behind that is about to miss you? 2. If it did sound different, what action could a rider take in one second or thereabouts?

I think even if you try to engage with more difficult media and bounce off it, you still learned something important about yourself, which is that you’re fuckin stupid
