I’ve lived in SK my entire life and have never seen this before!

But I also don’t use a lot of pancake mix so that makes sense.

What makes it your favourite?

I’d say they are absolutely in the business of human suffering, in fact.

“We’re doing studies to make the proof” is exactly the reason we need to continue to fund science.

Nevermind basic education. That ship seems to have sailed.

I understand why the rumpled dick tater is so terrified of “antifa”. How could you tell if you were “old man hallucinating”, way too high, or just in Portland?

HUSTON.

Actually, Ms. Houston, they are now bowing to radical left wing bureaucrats. They’re refusing to bow to radical right wing fascists. Subtle, but important difference there. Easy to get it confused when you campaign on a platform of wilful ignorance and stupidity.

Thanks everyone!

Classy.

But let’s just say for a minute drugs ARE responsible for the growing number of unhoused people throughout the province.

What is the gov’t doing to prevent folks with addictions from starting? What is the gov’t doing to provide treatment for addictions? Where is the leadership here?

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Moe blames drugs for homelessness rather than rising rents, and inadequate provincial social safety nets. Nice attempt at deflection of blame.

In this case no, because I’m here because the doctor wrote the wrong prescription last time I was here so I need to have it reissued.

Millicent (cenobyte) Bystander, Snark Czar @cenobyte.ca · 1d

I arrive at the doctor’s office on time. They tell me it will likely be an hour wait.

All I fucking need is a prescription refill this could have been a five minute phone call between patients.

Saw this earlier this week and sent it to my childhood BFF who is a librarian. I scream-laughed the first time I saw it, and I scream-laughed again today.

You need this today.

You’re welcome.

Lemme get this straight: the despotic dolt who’s been begging for a peace prize while bombing other countries loses to a democratically elected woman from the country the dolt was bombing?

I love this for him!

I dated engineers in Uni and spent a LOT of time with engineering students and grads. Can confirm 97% of them were jacks of all asses. 2% are incredible people with whom I still stay in contact. 1% are my exes.

Frankly, I’d be pulling away from any joint operations with people who bomb civilians and arrest and deport their own citizens. Especially a country whose ‘commander-in-chief’ runs the whole show without any checks and balances. Keep things in court long enough, it counts as getting away with it.

I admire your resolve to attempt to teach this doob anything. He’s the worst kind of engineer; the kind who actually can’t be taught (because they already know everything, and better than you do). I could show you actual evidence if you need it, but I think you have enough...

The thing is. Here’s the thing.
There are more of “us” than there are of “them”, and they know it. We learned this in “A Bug’s Life”. We do not need to be subservient to the powerful. We do need to exercise our own power sometimes though. Resistance is NOT futile. We learned THAT from Star Trek.

There was never going to be a moment when everyone—everyone in government, everyone in media, everyone in the population—was roused to action at the same time. We're turning a battleship. And Pritzker understands that.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 1d

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.
