Pierre Poilievre yelling about DEI is grimly hilarious when guys like him are the very reason diversity, equity and inclusion policies are needed 😡

An exchange which reminded me of this sad but true cartoon.

A four panel cartoon titled "Comics Future" set in a museum with comics art on the walls. It depicts the following exchange.

ADULT: "People used to draw stories in little boxes, and they called them comics. And the people who drew them were called cartoonists. And they had no money. And they were very sad."

CHILD: "What happened to the sad cartoonists?"

ADULT: "They all died. Sad, alone, stupid, and covered in dirt. Every last one of them."

The comic is sighed Sweater1 at the lower right.

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!

Theory: you can put Brendan Fraser in any Tom Cruise role and it would improve the film; you cannot put Tom Cruise in any Brendan Fraser role without it making the film worse

Globe and Mail: Residents in Kapuskasing, the town northwest of Timmins where a pulp mill shutdown threatened thousands of jobs, before a possible government lifeline emerged this week, may reasonably want the premier to spend less time and political capital on removing bicycle lanes in downtown Toronto. Drivers who want investments to make dangerous rural highways safer may wonder at a transportation policy so laser-focused on banning urban speed cameras. And residents province-wide may question why they should pay for the spa at Ontario Place.

Autism isn't a problem.

People who cannot handle others being different and having different needs are.

Weird isn't a problem.

People upset by 'weird' are.

Pulled from Reddit (hid the user) about what it was like during that "period" in Germany, how it just creeped up unnoticed, uncertain.

oh wow, the early reports are that the new Tron movie isn’t doing very well at the box office. this is wild, because the last Tron movie didn’t do very well at the box office, and also the very first Tron movie didn’t do very well at the box office and also neither of those first two were very good.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.
