Have you noticed that Trump is trying to lay claim to any areas that have a coastline that comes along with exclusive economic zones? When I say it's about Russia wanting access to the world's resources, I'm not joking. Saudi Arabia has already said they plan to own all the energy.

Been saying this for years and love to pull it out every single time someone like Leslyn Lewis or Danielle Smith says there is no medical reason for a single use plastics ban. There absolutely is.

That's is so very cool! The most famous I've found is my fifth cousin, twice removed (very distantly related) Alan Caillou, whose original name was Alan Samuel Lyle-Smythe but used the name Alan Caillou for films and books. Interesting life to say the least. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Ca...

And this is what Pierre wants to do to the federal public service.

DEI policies came about because without them, white men would have all the jobs. And this is exactly what they want in the US. How can anyone support that?

My favourite song of his is Red River Jane. It's about Winnipeg but it's also very funny and catchy!

She lived at 69 Rip Off Lane and was a fast woman. I'll just bet she was! 😂

It feels like the political overton window has shifted far to the Right because the wealth class controls our media and owns our politicians.

Meanwhile, the vast, vast majority of people belong to what would now be portrayed as “the extreme Left.”

It’s a perception game and narrative control.

And studying toxins isn't the same as injecting them or swimming in them with your grandkids. They're both so freaking disgusting.

I have three relatives in my family tree, all named Thomas Lyle and born in Cornwall and they all died between August 1937 and October 1937. Took me forever to sort out who was who but I think I have it now. Caught one mistake and it helped figure out the rest. If I don't pay attention, it's a mess.

32 years teaching and I have never heard such horrendous, vile shit come out of a teacher's mouth.
No wonder the US is a cesspool.

The teacher speaking is Mr. McCant at Lovejoy High School in Clayton County, Georgia.

Is this what is being taught to students? It's no wonder people are feeling stressed, but it's the left indoctrinating people. 🙄

Would this be considered grooming?

You think maybe continuing the war has more to do with the purchases NATO countries are giving the US and, knowingly or not, enriching Trump and his donors. I sure do.

This is a big part of why I'm so uppity about alt text. Not just because I occasionally need it now - but because one day we're all going to.

Disability is one of the only minority groups you can join at any time.

Everyone thinks they will be the exception.

It won’t happen to them. They will “try harder” and overcome.

They think we’re failing.

It is not a moral failing and very few people will be the exception.
