MCRN Mark Wahlberg: “If I was aboard the Donnager with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of stealth ship debris and spaced protogen mercs then me saying, ok lets head back to phoebe station”

I feel like one of the most underrated explanations for what's happening right now in global politics is that almost everyone has lost their minds.

it's so funny that Jason Kenney (who is awful in his own right) is having his Dave Cameron moment of "oh god what have i done"
The UCP consists of people who either already have their golden parachutes and don’t care that much, or are idpol psychos who would happily spend the rest of their lives eating dirt for the chance to murder a trans person.

One of the best worldbuilding guides you can read is Tolkien's notes on translation, where he talks about the fact that *everything* you write is in practice being translated into English; is is no more anachronistic to use the word "September" than it is use the word "sword" or "house" or "hello".
Not sure how I feel when a book tells me that instead of "12 months" they have "10 arcs," which are each 40 days long, and they all have names like Blossomarc, Flamearc Snowarc,.... I appreciate the world building, but couldnt we have just kept the calendar the same?

My thing w him is that his jokes were really great at the time but it’s hard to go back and enjoy them because most of them are about how he has zero impulse control and it’s like… oh the signs were there
Don't tell me that Louis CK was never funny.
Louis CK was absolutely funny before his controversy and it's remarkable that after being backed into a corner, he went all in on unfunny racist and transphobic jokes.
It's FASCINATING how he stopped being funny overnight.

Honest to God the funniest thing about the Cold War is that the first, clearest, most totalising sign that the Soviet system was going to lose had to be "the Soviets do not have rock"

The subcategorization/tropefication of popular fiction has been very bad in general, both for authors and readers.
The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Canadians who vote for Cons need to be bombarded with this type of information. Cons want privatization of healthcare.
My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan.
I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month.
And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

This gets at the fundamentally flawed approach of the federal government: they are trying to find a policy solution to an identity problem.
It is part of the polarized, populist identity to be opposed to an Ottawa and Liberal Canada are not them. No policy will change that, as TMX revealed.

In a state dedicated to an ideological proposition, the security forces should never be for something so petty as national defence, national security and national interests. They should be subordinate to the ideals on which the nation is founded. The military should be the armed wing of liberalism.

If the culture of impunity, lawlessness and general vice which has taken root in this administration cannot be punctured through strict adherence to the law as written, then that is a failure of the law to serve its social purpose. And we should not treat those failure points as suicide pacts. (2/2)

Used to be that big news organizations would fight each other to get big scoops on an admin as scandal-plagued as this one. With Bezos taking over at WaPo and other similar situations elsewhere, that’s much less of a concern than staying in the admin’s good graces — and the rest of us suffer.
In another era, the political media would be shoveling dirt onto Trump's political grave as a hopeless lame duck and shifting their focus to the 2028 Presidential race. But in this era they'll keep rooting for the Reichstag Fire or other event to keep pretending he's popular
New Gallup poll shows Trump's approval hit a new low for his second term:
-36% approve
-60% disapprove
His approval among Republicans went from 91% in January to 84% in November
