We all know this is a lie, but can we stop valorizing this shit?
Sleeping this little actually really fucks you up and you make bad decisions. It makes you irritable. It fucks up your memory. It reduces your ability to react calmly and rationally.

VARNEY: Do you work 18 hours a day?
MIKE JOHNSON: More. More. And I have to, because President Trump works 21 hours a day.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service.
Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network.
This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.

@mark-carney.bsky.social please just pay for the post office. We spend many more times what Canada Post costs on the military and it doesn’t do Canadians nearly as much good on a day to day basis.

The way some people are trying to rehabilitate Charlie Kirk's image now that he's dead is fucking wild.
I mean, seriously?
I'm with Maj. Kirk would have cheerfully seen mixed-race folks like me rounded up and dropped off a cliff for being "impure."
Not to mention all his other bullshit.

No, white libs. You don't get to tell me that I don't get to talk my shit about a man who on multiple occasions has pushed for an America where folks like me get killed to cleanse the land.
Y'all can kiss my ass with that suggestion.

Mike was a great MP, and I expect he will be again.
An update I’m excited to share: whenever the next election is called, I will run to serve as the MP for Kitchener Centre again.
This won’t be easy - but the sooner we start, the stronger we’ll be.
It’s why I’m asking for your help now - as a monthly donor, volunteer and more ➡️ www.mikemorrice.ca
