The idea that Republican racism was hidden in the 90s is silly. Their main dude was so racist he got fired from his NFL commentator gig so quickly they had to scrap “Rush is joining the NFL!” ads.

And he got that gig because mainstream Republicans loved him.

I spent some time listening to Rush Limbaugh in the 90s. I-26 was a radio desert, and it was that, country, or local talk radio.

Didn’t take me but a single trip to realize how racist he was, gleefully and trollishly so. I got a job, bought a CD player for the car, and was glad to be done with it.

Lads, I recently got informed that I should be wary of completely banning GenAI use in my classes in case I, by chance, penalized students inadvertently using it because it was embedded in their apps and programs.

When GenAI comes to Canvas, we are all so fecked.

Everyone in this boat needs to decide soon, who do you vote for next, if not Carney or Poilievre?

And get behind that party in a big way IN YOUR RIDING.

Performative gestures won't cut it. Building up your best local third party option is the best chance to enjoy another minority government.

Carney's only real climate policy so far has been to bend the knee to Big Oil & Gas: dropping the consumer carbon tax & EV mandates. He got my vote & many others for being climate savvy. By losing those votes he's guaranteed to be a one-term PM. #ClimateCrisis
