Imaginez un peu si l'UPAC cognait à la porte de QS, comment on en discuterait dans les médias. 🤔

J'écoute un commentateur libéral à Midi Info et je suis impressionné du brainstorm à ciel ouvert auquel on assiste depuis des jours et des jours sur comment on peut sauver le PLQ, un parti pourri jusqu'à la moelle. Un parti de gauche n'aurait jamais cette mansuétude éditoriale des grands médias.

Si QS avait supporté les usagers du métro, on aurait souligné l'incohérence pour un parti de gauche de ne pas supporter les syndiqué-es. 🙄 #DamnIfYouDoDamnIfYouDon't

Et Buzzeti de rappeler que ce sont les pauvres qui prennent le métro, QS aurait dû les supporter au lieu de supporter les grévistes de la STM. 🙄

Removing a bike lane during winter so people can store their private proprety on public space

@davewalker.bsky.social's drawing still resonates⤵️

bsky.app/profile/dave...
Black and white cartoon, with title 'Storage of private property in the street'. Picture of a row of terraced houses with five captioned items in front, with captions as follows: Some lovely patio furniture? Not really the done thing. The garden shed? Various curtains would twitch. Some boxes of odds and ends that wouldn't fit in the loft? Frowned upon. A wardrobe full of clothes? Outrage on local Facebook group. Your car? Absolutely fine. Separate panel below the main drawing. Woman on bike, with child: 'Could a cycle lane be put in so we can ride to school safely?' Man, with clipboard: 'I'm sorry - the parked cars mean there just isn't any room'.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Kneesvember 2025 Day 1
Birds are flying toward a castle with several red-roofed towers built at the top of an enormous oak tree. The sky is blue and there are wispy clouds. The tree is full of orange leaves and there are red and yellow trees in the distance. The image is bordered by a red, yellow, and blue, uh... border, with little stars and patterns. On the Queen's seventh birthday, brids from across the warbler realm were flocking to Oakcliffe Castle to take part in the festivities. (The first letter is illustrated in its own cute little box, technically termed an historiated initial, like in medieval manuscripts)

#NowPlaying This was a leaving present from one of my team at the Virgin Megastore in Basingstoke who was dating Joe Strummer's daughter at the time. It was less than a week later that I heard about Joe's death on the BBC lunchtime news. Love them or hate them, this is a great Saturday night LP.

I am terrified Mamdani is going to do something extreme, like subsidize a few grocery stores, says people who don’t bat an eye at for-profit companies with billion dollar subsidies.

The NYT this morning
Single panel from a vintage comicbook page, showing Peter Parker's boss at the Bugle, JJ Jameson, clasping his face in a hard and looking anguished. He says: "Mysterio is the guilty one?? Spider-Man is innocent??!" "And after all I wrote in my newspapers!! I-I'll be a laughing stock - AGAIN!! Oh no!!" (From The Amazing Spider-Man #13, 1963)

I have heard multiple times in the news that Mamdani is a democratic socialist. So can the media refer to the repukes as Republican Fascists?

Little-known worthy Canadian contribution.

Alfa, Bravo, Charlie. The phonetic spelling familiar to fliers, soldiers and reporters listening to police scanners.
