Never 51. Slava Ukraine. Capitalism doesn't work without healthy social programs. Lots of attention paid to US politics because it does, always has and always will affect Canada disproportionately. Also Canadian politics is boring, just the way I like it!
Not one thing on this list is particularly radical. They are all things commonly found in other wealthy developed economies. It's not outsiders making life hard for American citizens. It's tax cutting billionaires, lobbyists and politicians who want your tax dollars working for them, not for you.

There are receipts for every item on this list - it's objectively true.

"Be quiet, small man."

I don't expect Trump to be appalled by this utter lack of respect and diplomacy from one of the senior members of his staff. But what about Tesla's Board of Directors? Are they interested in protecting their investors? In performing their fiduciary responsibilities?

I'm older than this…

Say happy birthday to Gertie, four years old today.

Daisy: You weren't thinking of grocery shopping without me again, were you?

Not only do these billionaires not know anything about fighting wildfires, but they are actually the ones contributing the lion's share of the CO2 responsible for the changing climate exacerbating the fires. AKA the very last group of people who should criticize and the first who should help.

Just letting this speak for itself.

There was a time when leaders, in the midst of a tragedy, stepped forward and reassured those affected that everything possible is being done and they'd be looked after and helped in rebuilding. Now it's all points and peacocking.

Poppy would rather stay asleep. 😁

For this to matter c-sections would have to occur for millennia to make a difference. And it would only hold true if brain size equalled success, which Musk disproves daily. All while causing increased side effects (infection, organ damage, future pregnancy complications, etc.) for the mother.

The reason I'm in America… not why I'm an American, because at his core he's not. But he is going to try and be America's boss, unofficially of course, because non-Americans aren't permitted to hold the top job. Perhaps they shouldn't be allowed near it either.

These three amigas are getting set to greet 20 family members tomorrow - barking will play a significant roll. #puglife #dogsofbluesky

"In the meantime I will have to contract 24 hour security…" or, hear me out on this, STFU a stop saying hateful misogynistic bullshit!

Dear America. This is not okay. Thank you.

Of course the dumb one posted this. Sorry Eric, daddy still cares more for your drug addled brother and most for that smokin' hot sister of yours (his words so I'm told…) but keep trying little dude, I'm sure he'll come around some day.

These three have had a day, opening a bag of popcorn our first outing to the grocery store and then diving into the dinner buns we purchased (now past tense)… so they're the coal receivers in this household!

Gertie, Daisy and Poppy wish Hansel and Gretel a very Merry Christmas, or happy holidays if more appropriate, either way - pugs for the win!

AOC says we aren't witnessing the birth of an oligarchy, we're here - then mentions WaPo and the LA Times as media outlets controlled by billionaires. But there's a problem with this statement… it's timeline is way off.

1/2…

Apparently this is overused, but I don't care. There's nothing more accurate.

Feeling the need for a cleansing post - anyone else out there sharing their homes with nonhuman loved ones?
