Well regulated militia, or was it Muppets?

It’s hilarious how something simple like “people are sharing Amazon links to buy the same costumes” gets filtered through these conspiratorial grifters’ minds and becomes “They are highly organized.”

If you live anywhere more rural with a PO Box address you're screwed. Services that deliver using other methods won't ship to you.

Got to watch the I Like Me documentary on Prime about Canadian comedy legend John Candy. Touching and sad; worth the time.

No one thought he could win once
No one thought he could win twice
No one believed he’d get away with it
No one believed he’d be on the ballot
No one accepted the grim reality
No one accepted he’d destroy humanity
No one was prepared for this
No one is stopping it

WE are the last line of defense

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful to be with old friends; new acquaintances; old, young, and in-between; men, trans, and Coco the spaniel; atheists, lapsed Christians and a witch; Canadians and Americans; and all of us peace-loving and kind. We're woke. Deal with it.

Prairie farmer concerned about food production as invasive weed spreads | CBC Climate Change News

Harvest is close to done on the Prairies, but some farmers' crops are being overrun by kochia, an invasive weed. They hope scientists can stop the spread before food production is affected forever.

IMO
The western world has a media problem

The media used to hold the politicians to account
Now they install fascists

This is why the US has Trump
This is why the UK is expecting a Farage government

This is why there has never been a MSM story about the IDU

This is a huge problem for democracy

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

“I don’t know how to fly a helicopter, but I can tell something’s wrong if I see one in a tree”

A silver and orange helicopter has crashed into the side of a white, Spanish-style building lined with palm trees. The aircraft is tilted nose-down, wedged against the structure’s balcony area, with its tail and rotor blades bent around nearby trees. The scene is cordoned off by a chain-link fence, and the bright blue sky and sunlight give the setting an oddly calm contrast to the chaotic wreck.

Oh, you see us shitting on the Dems and think we haven't taken the biggest dump on the Republicans first or last.

Saskboy from Saskatchewan @saskboy.bsky.social · 9h

But if you criticize Schumer and others for doing a terrible job with their strongly worded letters, you only embolden the Republicans to lie and take money from brown paper bags more.

Or so their logic seems to suggest.
