I feel the prime minister of Canada is gaslighting me. Doesn’t even mention the thing that just happened in Venezuela. He’s just all smiles. Is that normal, for Canadians

My favourite brand of "come back to Twitter" post is the one that poses it as a moral imperative. Buddy, I'm on social media to make jokes and experience mental illness in public. This isn't about the greater good, it's about the best place to have a manic episode.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Ah, the problem is not that we fail to provide everyone with adequate housing or services for people with addiction, the *real problem* is that the rest of us are forced to see the results of these things, under the label "social decay". Got it.
"The longer visible signs of social decay are allowed to fester, the more inclined those with means will be to simply check out ... leaving those without the ability to relocate to deal with playgrounds littered with drug paraphernalia." www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
Opinion: We have normalized delinquent, disorderly behaviour in our cities for too long
There is nothing normal about an encampment forcing toddlers in the daycare next door to stay inside

Fascists want you to starve, by the way. Images like the one I’ve shared on my page help them. This is part of the propaganda.
And that set is no exception.

How far right uses thinness to radicalise women and girls
The far right has normalised much of its ideology within mainstream politics – and ‘body fascism’ is part of that

Yes, hello. This message is for @yrfatfriend.bsky.social and @michaelhobbes.bsky.social. We figured it out. It's kimchi.
Of the many, many silly things in nutrition research, the fact that the Korean government regularly funds research that shows kimchi in a positive light is one of my favourites.
Hilarious stuff.
