Another day where you have to wonder whether the Canadian and Mexican governments have prepared contingency plans to handle any regional fallout from serious civil disorder in the United States

We've reached the "US Senators dropping f-bombs" phase of the coming civil war. Cool, cool.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

If you have evidence of any NYT conspiracy to protect Jeffrey Epstein (while also apparently publishing negative stories about him?) my email is espiers AT gmail, and I am happy to report that out for a non NYT outlet.
It’s a real head scratcher (/s) but one that any number of reporters could probably uncover
I've already said I think Landon should have been fired. But the idea that the NYT knew he was too chummy with Epstein and asked him for money and were fine with it is just wrong and dumb. And i cannot fathom what possible incentives people arguing this think the NYT would have to protect Epstein

Tried coddled eggs for the first time. Delicious, but an ergonomic nightmare: I burned myself twice handling the coddlers in the boiling water. Yikes.

People really need to stop framing it is a question of getting more evidence. I mean, sure, that too. But we know. We all know. The president of the United States raped children. Say that. When they get mad at you for saying it, say it again and treat them like an idiot for pretending they doubt it.

On #RememberanceDay in Canada we say #LestWeForget because forgetting means we fail to honour those who gave their lives defending freedom from fascists and nazis. And all those who still defend us today.
It’s also because if we forget, we’re doomed to repeat.
That’s more relevant now than ever.
