I understand people's need to make nice and find common ground with–

No. No, I don't understand any of that sh*t. I don't believe it.

If you sup with fascists you're a fascist.

If you vote for fascists you're a fascist.

If you write apologetics for fascists you're a fascist.

If you pre-emptively surrender to fascist you're a fascist.

That's my wall. That's where I'm standing today.

Today's geography lesson. Any questions?

Women's fashions for the next generation are really going to suck.

“Steve Madden, a $3 billion shoe company, announced Thursday that it would rapidly halve its Chinese production to avoid Trump’s tariffs…

But here’s the catch: Steve Madden isn’t moving its production to the United States. It said it will be sourcing its goods from Cambodia, Vietnam, Mexico, Brazil and some other countries.” - CNN

Like no one saw that coming. In retribution China starts buying their soy, etc from South America like they did during the Dictators first term. And so on.. 🙄

Turkish proverb

"The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them."

“What did you do in the war for democracy, Mommy?”

“I sanewashed the words of a man who clearly had dementia and argued that a man who didn’t have dementia had Alzheimer’s. I said a woman with no criminal history was as bad as a convicted criminal. It was hard work. I’m proud.”

I'm feeling out of sorts also because of this:

Scientific American @sciam

"This year won’t just be the hottest on record—it could be the first to surpass the 1.5-degree-Celsius threshold laid out in the Paris climate accord Bar chart shows annual global temperature anomalies from 1940 to 2024 compared with the baseline period of 1850 to 1900."

ok: any americans who want to get out & immigrate to 🇨🇦. 5 things:

1) move to saskatchewan. house & land is cheap as fuck.

2) understand it's colder than a witch's tit in the winter. but you'll have indoor heating.

3) i think you'll be okay w/ the conservatives. americans are pretty conservative compared to cdns.

4) 2 words: free healthcare.

5) understand we have a mini trump who's looking to get elected next yr.

otherwise, housing prices are 😱 elsewhere in the country.
