Now that there's pinned posts, I figure i should introduce myself.

Most call me Doc, or Googly Doc. I'm a freelance RPG writer, humourist, voice actor, podcaster, novelist, public speaker, and TTRPG GM.

I am also a neurodivergent omnisexual progressive humanist who is quick on the block trigger.

The Canadian Bar Association has harsh words for the authoritarian Smith conservative government in Alberta.

Why is it that only conservatives want to be dictators?

Oh, right. Because when it comes down to it, their policies are WILDLY unpopular, even if it takes time for some people to wake up.

John is right. As long as there are those with the will and courage to fight, there is always hope... always a chance for the tide to turn.

Evidence: The US senate just put an end to Trump's tariffs, easing one of the burdens shouldered by the working class in the USA.

YES THIS. If you are one of the "all is lost" people please feel free not to say so in the comments of my posts, it'll save me the two seconds it takes to "hide for everyone" your comments. All is not lost. All is never lost. I prefer not to have you infecting others with your doomerism in my space.

Angus Johnston @angus.bsky.social · 7d

"This fucking sucks" and "all is lost" are two different sentences.

Don't say the second when you mean the first.

And yet I still see some Americans not getting why Canadians are pissed off, why we are turning our backs on America when we are able, and why we are actively fostering relationships elsewhere.

Here’s an example of something interesting and important I learned today from @shamjaff.bsky.social. A link to her free weekly newsletter of underreported stories is in her profile. 📰

Malawi wants to keep more of its resource wealth within the country
What happened
Malawi just banned the export of raw minerals. The government wants foreign companies to stop digging up its resources and shipping them out for processing elsewhere. Instead, it’s saying: if you want Malawi’s minerals, process them here. Create jobs here.

New in PN: The DOJ's "election monitoring" is really voter intimidation

"If Hispanic voters are no longer in the GOP fold after watching Trump’s ceaseless, country-wide violence against immigrants, the administration’s solution is to make sure they can’t cast a ballot."

A thing I find fascinating (depressing) about the Reagan tantrum is, ok, they can convince the faithful audio is "fake", they can safely assume few of them will actually watch the archival video to check. But to believe "Reagan loved tariffs" you would have to not be over 40 or know anyone who is.

It just got 10% dumber.

Not a joke: Trump just imposed an additional 10 percent tariff on Canada because he still doesn't understand that Reagan was a vehement free trader. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

"Mate, I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what? Ronald Reagan was against tariffs."

When Google Glass was a thing, didn't we call people that used them "glassholes" because of issues concerning consent?

I guess in Trump's era, we're okay with women and children being violated. I hope people prove me wrong and these glasses fail, too.
