The whole internet loves Cola Bottle Nate, a lovely guy who almost kills himself eating Haribro cola bottles! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you Mr. Rimmington is racist

Nathan Rimmington, 33, is a haulier and owner of an HGV driving school in Barnsley. Huge, tattooed, always sweating and always pining for a pint, he is portrayed in the series as an incorrigible joker: "If the government don't crack down on immigration, my kids will have to go to school on fucking camels."

The Best Years of Our Lives is really a miracle of a movie for how beautifully it speaks to the moment in which it was made while keeping one eye open for how it can serve as a kind of historical record. It's so hard to tell stories directly about the immediate present, but it manages it.

Bad Bunny stopped performing in the US because 'ICE could be outside' concerts

Brian Wishart @bwishart.bsky.social · 13d

I guess Bad Bunny changed his mind. ICE might not be doing much bad stuff anymore I guess www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

Bad Bunny said his reasoning for not performing in the U.S., amid a Puerto Rican residency, was due to the political climate.

Liberal government frees Canada Post to end home delivery, close some post offices | CBC News

It's frustrating to see so many people defending this because it doesn't affect them personally.

Every cut of public services under the guise of efficiency is a further erosion of community and the power of government to actually make life better.

Public services aren’t “bailouts”—they’re infrastructure. Rural mail and home delivery are services we depend on, not corporate handouts.
