We all saw where failing to codify convention and decorum have gotten the US to. Canada needs to nip that shit in the bud.

Leaders and deputy leaders of provincial parties with active MPs should require mandatory security clearance

Suggestions for best LED bulbs that are not a waste of money because they were designed to break would be enormously appreciated.

Stephen Graham Jones’ The Only Good Indians was wonderful, and Augusta Bazterrica’s Tender is the Flesh was dystopian nightmare fuel. Both absolutely excellent books.

Borderline racist?

Try absolutely unequivocally batshit racist?

What the fuck; I don’t expect much from this publisher but damn, come on.

Can’t wait for the Conservatives to argue that this is a good reason to give the CRA less money.

Ohhh don’t you go giving me hope like that…

Yikes that article is tough to read. That’s a whoooole lotta racism. Absolutely impossible to say that anyone who supports Trump is not a racist piece of shit now. It’s simply undeniable.

The case for Donald Trump is “I erroneously think the economy used to be better? I know that he has made many ominous-sounding threats about mass deportations, going after his political enemies, shutting down the speech of those who disagree with him (especially media outlets), and that he wants to make things worse for almost every category of person — people with wombs, immigrants, transgender people, journalists, protesters, people of color — but … maybe he’ll forget.”

So just don’t watch then? It’s incredibly easy to just not participate.

Even easier than going on the internet to complain about it, in fact.

Sure would be a shame if the general public and subscribers of the LA Times and WaPo learned about having only to put 12ft.io/, or archive.is/ in front of paywalled article URLs in order to bypass the paywall very easily…

Is the one in the bottom left actually called “No Need YT Ads”? Cause I can’t find that one

Online “convenience” fees can fuck right off. Absolutely unnecessary cash grab and an outright scam.

Okay, then we’re in agreement; it’s only real value is in the conversion back to liquid money. And “betting” is entirely accurate.

I more meant it’s not money because it can’t be spent / consumed easily. It’s a non-productive, illiquid asset in the same sense that collector cars or fine art isn’t money, it’s a hopeful store of value, and you’ll only know what it’s worth when you convert it back to liquid money.

Or maybe a better comparison would be that Beanie Babies or NFTs weren’t money, they were a non-productive, illiquid asset based on hope and the greater fool theory.

I’ve yet to hear an argument about the value of crypto that doesn’t boil down to either hope that someone else will keep buying to drive up the price, or that it’s being used to reduce friction in traditional money-transfers applications, usually international transfers where fiat-to-fiat has very high fees, or money laundering and terrorist financing LOL

Interestingly, reducing friction in international money transfers is, I think, a laudable goal. I’m still not sure that makes the crypto count as an asset instead of just a technological function. The SWIFT system isn’t an asset, for example, it’s just a tool.

LOL, yeah, that’s why I can buy a chocolate bar at the corner store with it.

/s

Remind me, how do you measure or capture the returns of cryptocurrency again? Oh yeah, by converting them to fiat currency.

Sounds great to me!

Another quiet cut to publically funded primary care alternatives.

Can’t wait to have them replace these services with a for-profit company run by a UCP mega-donor or former affiliated politician.

So one was the Wall Street Journal, owned by a billionaire and read by heavy duty capitalists, and still healthily within the margin of error.

Did anyone spot the “second major poll”? I didn’t click every single link but I didn’t see it explicitly mentioned.

On the one hand, I’m glad this editor has ethics.

On the other hand, I’m upset because I’m pretty sure the next editor is going to be a pro-whatever-the-owner-says sockpuppet

Oh boy it would be swell to see those idiots lose all their digital monopoly money
