Key point about insanity is the detachment from reality. Logic, cause/effect, physics, and basic chemistry/ biology mean nothing to these people because they are nuts.

Today, I’m off on the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus to Wetaskiwin, Ponoka, Lacombe, Calmar and Leduc.

It is important to me that all Albertans have an opportunity to show their support for Canada by signing the petition.

See you there!!!

The inventory problem was mentioned in the news around 3 weeks ago, so I was surprised to see it announced as a new commitment to Ukraine. Perhaps the US administration can't keep the 🍊💩 from making promises he can't keep.

MAGA is actively working on the break up of our country.
Funny that we have to read about these backroom meetings in the far right wing press while our media ignores the obvious.

The whole security council is an anachronism, created from politics of a bygone era with no substantive relevance to this generation.

Jannisaries 🇨🇦 @jannisaries.bsky.social · 8d

I always question the motivations of folk who take the time to create such a post. Perhaps they are having a hard time fitting in since they are more comfy in the 'other' place.

I realized I’ve been sort of mourning the internet lately. It’s odd. This ‘place’ that used to contain a wealth of actually valuable information, and introduced me to many people I now call friends, and which paved the way for my career, has almost completely rotted away. It’s not coming back.

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

If Trump was just some old dude, I would say don't pick on him because he has advanced dementia. But since he is an evil fascist absolutely, pile it on. He is addled and can't tell fact from fiction.
