We’re like 17 days into 2026 and I've already seen enough
When we get to the end of the year and everyone starts posting that "2027 will be better", and then some more bullshit happens. Remember that the calendar is actually meaningless and the bullshit will go on forever.
Have a great day!

Conservative influencer Ashley St Clair had a baby with Elon Musk in 2024. Things turned sour when she expressed mild support of trans rights. Elon cut child support and sued for custody; his followers made deepfake porn of her on X; she sued X; now X is suing HER!
But this isn’t just a soap opera:

Still 500% more interesting and entertaining than listening to my own thoughts! 😀
after listening to podcasts for 7 years now, and trying to watch youtube content for 20 years, i can confidently say:
no one has more than 30 minutes of anything interesting to say about anything.

The default alt text for this gif was "a man wearing a music band shirt is holding a skateboard over his shoulder"

As a future user of MAiD, I believe that any hospital that won't provide MAiD, abortion care or birth control should lose ALL of their government funding and have ownership transferred to the government (like they did with the Irene Thomas Hospice: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...)
We're in court today (and for the next few weeks) in a case that could determine the future of religious hospitals in BC. www.bchumanist.ca/religious_ho...

If you're in a store that has been invaded by ICE, may I suggest discreetly pulling the fire alarm.
"But that's illegal"
So fucking what! 🙄

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.
