“And liberal or mainstream media organizations and universities should be summarily closed… ‘You’d simply declare a state of emergency in your inaugural address. You’d actually have a mandate to do this. Where would that mandate come from? It would come from basically running on it, saying, Hey, this is what we’re going to do… you can’t continue to have a Harvard or a New York Times past since perhaps the start of April.’ - Yarvin, the fascist techbro guru that other fascist techbros wanna be like

They’re fucking with your brain just by saying it. “If I’m so right, why won’t you admit that you already agree with me?”

Justice for Ollie! That poor fucking bird…

I’m just trying to save his neutered business from my feminine energy.

To stop women from being able to see out. Isolation is torture. One less escape route.

This shit is terrifying.

I hate that talking point so much (and hear it all the time from people complaining about immigrants turkin ur jerbs). The Fast-Food-Jobs-Are-Brutal-And-Pay-Shit-Wages-Because-They’re-Building-Teen-Character narrative is anti-worker bullshit that denies folk job security and a living wage.

Someone’s widowed nan needs this job. The single dad living next door needs this job. A diverse workforce - that includes young people looking for a summer gig - need this job.

I just read the article and you’re so right.

Mace has been using transphobia to build her political career since before she was elected to Congress. In her first campaign for Congress, she made up a law that she claimed required “transgender equality in the military,” said that her Democratic opponent was responsible for it, and said that it would result in a Marine Corps base in her district getting shut down. It was all a lie – there was no such law and the Marine base is still in operation today – but it helped her secure her seat in Congress.

In her second run for Congress, she accused her opponent of providing “SEX CHANGE SURGERY. PUBERTY BLOCKERS. GENDER CHANGING HORMONES. FOR CHILDREN?” in an ad, even though her opponent was a doctor who worked at a hospital that didn’t provide gender-affirming care for trans people at all. Her opponent was forced to resign from her job.

The word rotted comes to mind.

When fines are “the cost of doing business.”

Talking point bots will blame Trudeau for this.

Friendship with Village People’s YMCA is over. Chappell Roan’s Hot to Go is my new best friend.

Jailbreak from the factory farm. “Quick, no time to explain! Pretend you’re my hat!”

A jaunty chapeau! Perched just so!

Fingers crossed it’s up and running again soon!

Hopefully this is one of those outages where you feel all cozy, light some candles, your blood pressure goes way down and you’re sharing what’s in your freezer with the neighbours, and not a freezing cold with mobility issues on the 21st floor kind of outage. Stay safe.

On the off chance someone reading is feeling mildly irked by the bombastic language used to describe this fucked up weather, ysk ‘bomb cyclone’ is a technical term in use since the 50s and has a formal definition. TIL (and you can too!)

Or just scroll down OPs page to the Bomb Cyclone 101 link.

BC had gusts at almost 160 km/h from this beast yesterday and about 150K people lost power. At the last update I read, about 90K people were still in the dark.

jfc I’d forgotten that moment. Let us never forget the Bowling Green Massacre.

I’m turning into a fan of the Lincoln Project’s work. Does the heart good to see conservatives working against the worst the country has to offer.

Anyone else think this is a direct reaction to Dave Bautista calling him a whiny little bitch? Masculinity by proxy/osmosis??? The fuck is this…

"Arnold Palmer was all man, and I say that in all due respect to women,” Trump said. “This is a guy that was all man.” […]

“When he took the showers with other pros, they came out of there. They said, ‘Oh my God. That’s unbelievable,’” Trump said with a laugh. “I had to say. We have women that are highly sophisticated here, but they used to look at Arnold as a man.”
