It is wild to me that someone can read the Bible, particularly the Gospels, and end up convinced that the thing our society needs is a system that creates billionaires.

This is Clio. She did not study for the test today. Also does not know how to read. 12/10 (IG: paspastotoro)

a black and gray long-haired yorkiepoo sits at a desk in a university classroom. a piece of paper lays on the desk in front of her, her paws propped up on the desk as if she's bracing herself. there are students in the background hunched over and working on paper in front of them. the pup looks at the camera with a concerned side eye. she's realizing she probably should have read some of the homework before eating it.

Country legend Zach Bryan has released a song that puts country over his own bank account.

The backlash from country fans will be massive- they’ll force him off country radio like they did to the Dixie Chicks but he doesn’t need radio access anymore

How do we continue to live like this?

If this was any other country we would warn people against the roving bands of masked armed men who indiscriminately assault people and disappear them.

What retailers are behind "Canada - 51st State" apparel?
Is it a concerted effort by a small group?
I don't use Amazon but is there a way to block these sellers fr appearing in yr account?
More than one reason to not have an Amazon account, use it less, or drop it?

Apparel for Canada as 51st State. Most show a tiny Cdn flag within a large American stars & stripes. Logos such as "51st State of America" or "Oh Canada! Make America great again."

Eby says he was talking about a recently fired BC Conservative staffer and suggests it's maybe a little revealing if Brodie thinks he was talking about her 💀

This widespread grievance is fertile ground for the rise of #right-wing #populism.

Slogans like "Make America Great Again" or "Take Back Control" appeal directly to this fear of decline, promising an illusory restoration of a past that is gone for good.

The modern ideal has always been "freedom from loss." Reckwitz calls this "Western modernity’s foundational lie."

As unavoidable losses now multiply—environmental, economic, and social—this comforting lie is unravelling, creating a general and powerful sense of grievance.

I say this as someone who truly enjoys a lot of Taylor Swift's music, but the consistent "I just released an album, but here are six more versions of that album that have one extra new/old/re-recorded song that I know you'll all buy" grift from one of the world's wealthiest pop artists is just gross

The Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg is considered to be one of the most haunted place in Canada.
From the ghostly guests who remain there, to the haunted Room 202, it is a place with plenty of paranormal happenings.
This is the haunted story!

🧵 1/10

A photo of a grand, multi-story hotel with a light-colored stone facade and a distinctive green steeple roof, surrounded by modern high-rise buildings in an urban setting. The hotel features arched windows and a prominent entrance with a canopy, with trees and vehicles visible on the street below, and a Canadian flag atop the building.

Feels like a situation where -- and look, I'm just spitballing here -- the media could take some reporters and cameras to various parts of Portland and report what they see rather than just do stenography for someone with a long history trying to game the system with lies and exaggeration.
