I get that he's attempting to be humorous. In reality, it's just him highlighting how out of touch he is and that he has no desire to change it.
POILIEVRE: "I've been told since the election that I need to [be] more lovable and human. Naturally I've commissioned a poll on how to do that. Option A, I can get a dog. Or option B, find more meaningful ways to connect with people. So I immediately called the pollster and said, what kind of dog?"

Do you remember the time when US President Franklin D. Roosevelt told Winston Churchill that he had "no cards", so he had to sign a peace plan, which Roosevelt had drafted with Hitler?

No?

Neither do I — because Roosevelt was not a draft dodging, spray tanned coward.

did you know you can quantify the amount that a community is failing to provide transit options simply by measuring how frequently its tech bros reinvent the bus?

Well, it looks like logging into the dead parrot site isn't working. I suspect things might be "interesting" around their office.

It's a small graphic design detail, but the loitering guy on TTC signage is actually in front of the red slash, casually leaning against it, making him look *unbelievably* cool.

Now imagine what kind of chaos could ensue if that facial recognition database gets corrupted. Say, for example, a bunch of ICE agents get listed in it as foreign nationals.
A witness in our case had ICE reject all her documents after using facial rec on her.

For her, tho, it seemed like nothing could make them accept that she has a right to be here.

Either way, a gov policy of not trusting gov-issued docs is going to violate lots of people's rights.

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

As George Carlin once said, "The planet is fine; the people are fucked!"
So many exhausting tropes from this group of guys but "Save the planet?? The planet will be fine!!!!!!" has to be among the most incredibly exasperating.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

“Your king LET YOU protest” is not the message he should be sending, but don’t interrupt your enemy when they’re fucking up or whatever
Mike Johnson: "We congratulate them on an apparently violent-free speech exercise ... but if President Trump was a king, the government would be open right now ... by the way, the Mall was open because President Trump hasn't closed it."

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

Our democracy is so dysfunctional that Canada has established air supremacy over American skies with a budget and unarmed 1960s trainers
Canada to the rescue. Blue Angels can't perform. Thunderbirds can't perform? Why? US government shutdown has sidelined these teams. Canada's Snowbirds to the rescue. Not sure if Tr^mp has a tariff on those smoke trails!

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?
