Pick a fucking side. Not right or left, up or down, but democracy or killing your political enemies. Those are the choices.
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.

The year is 2035. The Meta People's Liberation Army breaks into my underground printing press. But I've already escaped on my pedal-powered flying machine. "Death to the machines!" I yell before crashing into the city's last remaining tree.

Media is reporting that #COP30 delegates are appropriately questioning Canada’s commitments to #ClimateAction.

To be clear, we can’t do nation-building, we can’t grow and diversify the Canadian economy and global relationships, and we can’t make Canada strong, if we don’t lead on #ClimateChange.

This isn’t just shockingly unprofessional, childish, embarrassing and unhinged.

It’s also just lame.
This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

“Wait. If lowering tariffs lowers prices, what does raising tariffs do to prices?” Erica York, a vice president at the Tax Foundation, which has compiled estimates of the costs to consumers of the tariffs, wrote on social media.

A couple of years ago, Eminem and his producer Denaun Porter recreated an EPMD album cover, and it's kind of an amazing image of car bloat since the 80s. Admittedly Eminem's 5'8" and the EPMD guys are both >6', but somehow I don't think that is what makes the difference

298 full-sized bars gone by 7:30. Now I ate 2, my Dad ate ten or more over the last couple days, and for the first hour parents in costume got bars too until we realized we were going to run out... So our neighbours count of 265 is probably definitive. Actually down a tiny bit from last year's 280.

Cannot express enough appreciation for the teams *flying through a hurricane* while not being paid.
NOAA hurricane hunters flying aboard a P-3 Orion aircraft ("Kermit") are monitoring Hurricane Melissa as most aircraft steer clear. The storm poses a catastrophic threat to Jamaica and Haiti.

The crew are among the many federal workers working without pay during the US government shutdown.

Double the ad buy. Get that ad running everywhere, all the time. And, the Govt of Canada needs to go to US Court, because not even the conservative Supremes can say tariffing over a TV ad and hurt feelings is about national security.
