I say this as a long time antiZionist jew from Winnipeg who's been very disappointed and perplexed by Jesse's coverage of this genocide.

I found this episode very cathartic. I got to hear Cynk yell things at Jesse I've been wanting to for a while, and got to hear Jesse's response and perspective.

I was one of the very first subscribers to Canadaland and I'm proud to still be, for many many reasons. I thought this was an amazing conversation (despite the yelling, it was ultimately respectful) and is the kind of real shit that made me fall in love with the show so many years ago.

Subscibe!

And, for the record, I have an amazing enriched fun-filled life full of music, friends, family, enriching conversations, and fulfilling and challenging work. I just love Revolutions Podcast that much.

Karl Gowenlock @karlgowenlock.bsky.social · May 19

How could you do this to me??? My Sunday night ritual and highlight of my week is re-listening to last week's ep then listening to the new Martian Revolution podcast.

It's alright. It's a long weekend here anyway and Radio War Nerd has a new episode out on drones (tangentially related I suppose)

Excellent piece by @marshamcleod.bsky.social on this entirely avoidable tragedy and the pathetic joke of a system we have for any "police accountability".

That's a really long thread to say, what?

Was Jesse Brown correct or not about Gilmore repeatedly linking the arson to the convoy protestors?? Obviously the first screenshot shows no such thing, but Jesse replied he sent the wrong one, and sent others. Which you don't share. What do they show?

"The U of M is given $13,362 per student, Brandon University receives $12,354, while U of Winnipeg gets $7,260."

People forgot that marriage law is actually mostly about the rights of each party on divorce. Recognizing polygamous marriage actually protects people in them by ensuring they have rights - including possible financial support - if they ever want to leave.

Sad to see the unique light posts being replaced with the standard park fixtures in Winnipeg’s cherished Exchange District National Historic Site. Beauty means little in the world today.

AUSA Hagan Scotten, former clerk for John Roberts, really put some mustard on his resignation letter.

BY EMAIL
Re: United States v. Eric Adams, 24 Cr. 556 (DEH)
Mr. Bove,
I have received correspondence indicating that I refused your order to move to dismiss the indictment against Eric Adams without prejudice, subject to certain conditions, including the express possibility of reinstatement of the indictment. That is not exactly correct. The U.S.
Attorney, Danielle R. Sassoon, never asked me to file such a motion, and I therefore never had an opportunity to refuse. But I am entirely in agreement with her decision not to do so, for the reasons stated in her February 12, 2025 letter to the Attorney General.
In short, the first justification for the motion-that Damian Williams's role in the case somehow tainted a valid indictment supported by ample evidence, and pursued under four different U.S. attorneys is so weak as to be transparently pretextual. The second justification is worse.
No system of ordered liberty can allow the Government to use the carrot of dismissing charges, or the stick of threatening to bring them again, to induce an elected official to support its policy objectives.
There is a tradition in public service of resigning in a last-ditch effort to head off a serious mistake. Some will view the mistake you are committing here in the light of their generally negative views of the new Administration. I do not share those views. I can even understand how a Chief Executive whose background is in business and politics might see the contemplated dismissal-with-leverage as a good, if distasteful, deal. But any assistant U.S. attorney would know much i i red oril, in this ily. wing the perset arthro he Reside is ving to,
give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.
Please consider this my resignation. It has been an honor to serve as a prosecutor in the
Southern District of New York.
Yours truly,
Hagan Scotten
Assistant United States Att…

I dress like that and sing this exaxt song with others now and then.

This explains a lot, though. I didn't realize it, but it must be so attractive that it makes it too intimidating for many women to even speak to me.

men what’s stopping you from dressing like this and singing a cappella shanties with each other?

I rent a lot of cars for work and noticed in 2022 that I was getting offered Teslas at DEEP discounts from Hertz. Like, save half my money if I get one of these instead of a Jeep Compass.

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth.

Given how closely integrated the economies are, the Trump tariff threat was/is a real existential crisis for Canada - we were/are looking down the barrel of a serious economic crisis.

Carney, by far, seems like the most competent - with his central banker gravitas - to guide us through that storm.

This isn't Twitter. There is no point in posing something this idiotic and laughable just to get attention and views. You don't get paid for them here!
