Poorly curated personality advertisement for an actual mouse. Former reporter, sometime writer about orcs & rabbit samurai. Now Infosec bureaucrat. As seen on TV. Ponderous whimsy a specialty, sometimes factual. Squeak.

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Right now, there are adults walking around who have never had to change a light bulb. And even more who have never known the joy of burning your fingers on one.

P.G. Wodehouse sold his first stories in Victorian England, and published his last novel (and died) just after the Vietnam War ended.

Speaking of books, Stalin is the villain of the 1932 Edgar Rice Burroughs novel "Tarzan Triumphant." (Burroughs himself was in the 7th Cavalry during the closing days of the Apache Wars in 1896, was living near Pearl Harbour during the attack, was a war correspondent in WW2.)

That's only because Junkhouse's "Shine" video was filmed in Toronto. And because you've never seen/heard Melissa McClelland's "Skyway Bridge" video, with the guy from Blue Rodeo! Cause for some reason it's only on Vimeo.

So here it is:

At that moment, 100 rumpled men with pushed-back fedoras and cigarettes dangling from their lower lips immediately start bashing the keys of 100 typewriters. Someone shouts "COPY!" Nature is healing again.

I had never heard his voice before, and he sounds even more like he looks than I expected. So yes, please, put this man front and centre for all White House messaging.

At least we know in advance about that one Chinese spy.

Your regular reminder - you can't be convicted of Coconut Crime if it occurred in International Coconut Waters.

Grocery store aisle sign listing products including "International Coconut Water."

Still from the TV show Mighty Boosh, in which a judge puppet with a coconut head bangs a gavel. The subtitle reads "Silence in the court."

I told my wife I was going to patch the hole in the laundry tub and I feel this should have been accompanied by banjo music.

Yeah, you can block the individual who posted, but the same videos are propagated through multiple usernames.

Yeah, it doesn't care if you're happy or mad, it just wants your eyeballs on content and (as a result) ads.

This is why I am constantly being shown Tartarian Empire and Flat Earth BS. I blocked the pages/reels for a few days, and now they show up constantly.

Pyat, a Mouse @pyat.bsky.social · 4d

What happens if you get shown more of them. The algorithm notices the content has engaged you.

There's a difference between being able to regard the reality of death (or appreciate a weird monster) with regarding infliction of death as entertainment. (Not a judgment on horror fans, except maybe the ones a little too into the Saw movies.)

Wealth inequality in Canada is far worse than StatsCan reports
