Oh, military gentlemen, they bluster, roar and pray.
Nine sailors on the Nancy, boys, made fifty run away.
The powder in their hair that day was powder sent their way
By poor and ragged sailor men, who swore that they would stay.

Sometimes, if you have an older dog, you'll be halfway through morning walk on a warm fall day and they will decide they want to flop down on a random bit of sidewalk or grass and bliss out for awhile.

If you possibly can, you should sit down on the grass and pet them for awhile.

Wasted time, wasted money, projects halted halfway through, all because the premier can't be Mayor of Toronto and so now he's got to impose his pigheaded will on everyone. This is infuriating. GOD I hope he's never Prime Minister.

Ordering no quarter, as Hegseth effectively did, isn't a newfangled modern war crime. It was understood as a crime as far back as the Revolutionary War. Washington threatened to do reprisals over it. The bad guy in 'The Patriot' is (very loosely) based off a British officer who was notorious for it.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

So, a senior Justice Department official — along with several members of Congress — used the authority of their offices to boost an obviously dubious conspiracy theory accusing a federal employee of a horrific crime.

And now it’s clear the allegation was baseless.

If you had to take care of humans, it was better to take care of small soft ones who were nice to you and thought you were great because you kept preventing them from being murdered.

Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border.

New data suggests separations now happen all over the country, often after little more than a traffic stop.

I can identify with being a more or less lifelong Republican/Libertarian voter entering one’s AARP years and all I can say is that the faster you tear off the bandaid of losing your religion, the better.

Look around at how your former coreligionists are acting. It was all a lie and it always was.

Fuck this (realpage settlement, not s.e. smith’s correct opinion).

And look: RealPage is essentially the Voltron of landlords. It’s software that allows them to get together and form UberParasite so that every landlord in your city can extract every dollar possible.
The landlord class is fundamentally parasitic. The very idea of owning land is ludicrous let alone treating is as a purely extractive source of 'passive income' rooted in the exploitation of people who just need a fucking place to live.

A settlement with algorithmic collusion facilitator RealPage allows it to keep allegedly ill-gotten profits and continue innovating to raise rents.

narrowing car lanes is a good way to force low-speed streets in addition to a way to provide bike lanes without getting caught in the province's stupid legislation.

bike on, toronto. the province can try, but this is a city that walks, bikes, and takes transit in huge numbers and that won't change.

Now I am not a lawyer but I am pretty sure "kill the survivors clinging to wreckage" is an order so blatantly illegal that the people who gave the order *and* the people who carried it out are guilty as sin and should be brought up for murder and/or war crimes.

Almost like the UCP is basically anti-Canada

There’s a word for that, I swear
Danielle Smith: "I hope people today feel a lot more confident that Canada works than they did a couple of days ago."
UCP convention crowd: LOUD BOOS
Danielle Smith tried to sell her federal-Alberta energy deal to the UCP convention crowd: tepid applause.
She told them that this proved Canada can work well for Alberta’s interests: loud boos.

This ain’t a base that wants Smith to work with a Liberal PM on a better industrial carbon tax.
