Convicted felon serving her sentence at home in an ankle bracelet celebrates being a criminal on her X account.

The same wingnuts yelling "jail, not bail", "do the crime, serve the time" and "the government censors me!"

This is a pretty sweet life if you can get it.

Screencap of Tamara Lich tweet. Lich was convicted on a mischief charge. She's celebrating her criminality on X and suggesting she will continue on the same path. No remorse.

Slop being bought for millions of dollars.

Excerpt: "The dangerous medical advice from Reddit Answers is not surprising given that Google AI infamously suggesting users eat glue was also based on data sourced from Reddit. Google paid $60 million a year for that data, and has a similar deal with OpenAI as well. According to Bloomberg, Reddit is currently trying to negotiate even more profitable deals with both companies."

‪@naheednenshi.bsky.social claiming the Alberta NDP got TMX built is also untrue. Trudeau approved it to mitigate the canning of Northern Gateway and the imposing of a tanker ban on the north coast. If anything, Notley shot herself in the foot by issuing threats. She alienated Horgan.

Pierre Poilievre's latest makeover doesn't really go with the farm riding he's in now.

(Screencap from a video of Poilievre saying his political enemy Justin Trudeau should be in jail and that Liberals are criminals protected by the RCMP.)

Poilievre tries to look like the Godfather. Jet black slicked back hair, black suit jacket, white shirt, sitting back in the chair, hands gripping the arms of the chair, legs spread, head tilted, facial expression a hard core sneer.

Movie still of Al Pacino seated imperiously in a chair, from The Godfather

Brylin Hollyhand, young Republican. Look him up. I can't be bothered.

"The image most closely associated with Mad Magazine is that of Alfred E. Neuman, the boy with misaligned eyes, a gap-toothed smile, and the perennial motto "What, me worry?"
