Thune: "If the Democrats had won the majority, they probably would've tried to nuke the filibuster. And then you'd have four new senators from Puerto Rico and DC, you'd have a packed Supreme Court, you'd have abortion on demand ... "

Wow, an actually "pretty decent" thing from this government.

Canada’s new government is starting Automatic Federal Benefits. We’re going to pre-file taxes for up to 5.5 million low-income Canadians, so they get the benefits they are entitled to — money that would otherwise be left unclaimed.

My bank is offering a competition to win a trip to Miami (for the NHL Winter Classic) and I'm not sure Canadians are too keen on visiting the US right now - even with hockey involved. :P

I'm certainly not interested in visiting Guns-and-Fascism Land. :/
Excerpt from a promotion to win a trip to Miami from Scotia Bank.

Other than tennis, we did groceries... and I did some art for someone (still waiting to hear back from them, hopefully they'll like it). Otherwise... not feeling too productive. Didn't get to any coding on the new game... maybe tomorrow(?).

I played tennis with someone new at the club this morning; turns out I was a better player, so after playing a rather lopsided set, we just rallied and chatted. Felt a bit awkward, but I tried. 8)

It's been very clear for *months* that Trump is trying to play up the idea of violent protests to prime federal cops for a weaponized response, despite all the actual evidence that protests have been peaceful UNTIL the cops arrive.

EXCLUSIVE — DHS Acting General Counsel sent out a memo Wednesday to all Federal Protective Service staff (the sub-agency that guards federal buildings) letting officers know they could take any action necessary "in the vicinity" federal property to protect themselves.

The Handbasket reports:
DHS top lawyer says 'no legal barrier' to actions officers can take to defend federal property
In a memo obtained exclusively by The Handbasket, Federal Protective Service (FPS) officers were given free rein.

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

The United Kingdom is not a valid country, and it deserves mockery on an international scale.

Calling their government "clown shit" would be unfair to something with that much colour and whimsy.

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

Chaya Raichik, better known as Libs of TikTok, was dutifully bemoaning the fact that the city of Houston repainted a Montrose neighborhood crosswalk decked on in LGBTQ+ rainbow colors. Raichik wrote that the crosswalk “must be removed immediately.”

And our governor dutifully complied.
Cool! It Really Looks Like Greg Abbott is Taking Orders From Libs of TikTok
Acting on the orders of notorious cesspool Libs Of TikTok, the governor bravely stands up to the menace of decorative asphalt.

This was the article, btw! A whole week of people telling me "omg I saw your game on my google discovery thing!" And a great way to legitimate the full release some more by showing "hey, someone IS talking about it!"
After seven years in the making, this adorable hand-drawn indie game is now available in full

Pretty much nobody cared about The Hayseed Knight's press releases "this whatever game is coming out" news in sites that would even give me the time of day, but it only took @dashiellwood.com finding a good angle to tell the story for the article to go viral everywhere!! There's an audience!!

FPTP, where we either get a conservative "majority" government with less than 50% of the vote, or a Conservative "majority" government with less than 50% of the vote.

Some Liberals say we don’t need proportional representation because the last election worked out fine for them.

But if just a few things had gone differently, this could’ve been the result instead.

That’s like saying you’re against seatbelts because you survived one crash.
A tweet from Canada Projections shows an Angus Reid poll modelled seat projection. The Conservatives are listed with 227 seats, up 83; the Bloc Québécois with 57, up 35; the NDP with 52, up 45; the Liberals with 5, down 164; and the Greens with 2, up 1. The text reads “Conservative majority” and notes the poll was conducted December 27 to December 30, 2024, with a sample size of 2,261 and a margin of error of ±2%.

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

This has never been more important than now. I’m pretty sure I remember the Labour membership voted that PR should be policy, when will Keir take action?

Proportional Representation is the radical idea that a party that gets 30% of the vote should never have 100% of the power.

In most stable democracies, this is already obvious. Why not here?
