We should have universal background checks for firearms and a ban on assault weapons like what was used to attack former President Trump!

Oops, I cribbed that from Harris and Walz’s Evil Communist Leftist Campaign.

At 9 years old I thought I’d be living in Ajax, Ontario, when I grew up and was rich. Not there yet with the money, but I’m dreaming a little bigger than that now in terms of where to live.

Now’s the time to pin this stupid bullcrap to Senator Cruz especially, so that he may be unseated this November.

I’m sure that s stands for police union spokesperson.

Honestly, I won’t hold it against IAM leader Holden too much. Boeing would stall and give shitty and completely worthless offers, then at the last minute double the largest point of contention (wage), so it looked fine from the lens of bargaining trade-offs.

Still, the workers are right to put this offer into the trash bin, sending a clear message to IAM leaders they have far more leverage, and to Boeing management that union members have lost all patience for their penny-pinching.

This is something that a Russian Facebook ad-buyer would say.

It took 4-8 years of US rural voters not caring about things until it affected them before they even started considering that Trump doesn’t care for any American besides himself. In the UK I don’t even know how they lasted in that trance for so long.

My cynical take is that people are going to recognize the destructive effects of a Conservative government only after 5-10 years at the least. If the political blocs don’t change, then we’ll get milquetoast Liberals again. Conservative media will continue to repeat “Liberals bad” enough for people to believe it again.

I have no experience in political strategy, but the only few ways I see of breaking out of this cycle is to

A: adopt a fairer voting system

B: Link the Canadian Conservative Party to the US Republican party, Project 2025 etc.

C: Announce progressive action so bold with near-immediate effects that it makes a difference to their electoral prospects, without appearing like an electoral bribe/promise.

I have heard little interest in A from government, grits and NDP might be waiting until November to do B so they don’t slander people they may be forced to work with, and C is nigh impossible, at least I can’t think of any realistic policy example that could achieve that. A proper UBI might be close.

Wow so it took only 4 weeks to go from TFG accepting fake endorsements from Swift, to Swift actually endorsing Harris, to Trump rage-posting about her.

If you still have Best Before Aug 10 in your fridge I don’t think you would have wanted to eat that anyway.

Imagine communicating something to a former President but through a misinformation party apparatus of thousands and thousands of people.

Um… just put 3 of them layered in each other. -15°C tripled is -45°C, right?

Hatted gargoyle goblin is the character I like to play. In one sentence it’s a 6-on-6 third person hero shooter MOBA.

I found that compared to League of Legends (at least what I knew of it 4 years ago) and other team shooting games, going after objectives is more important than winning more fights and good K/D ratios, at least at the casual player level.

Like other similar games it takes awareness of where allies and enemies are on the map, coordination between team members to play effectively and some knowledge of each character’s ability. But even if you absolutely suck at shooting unpredictably moving targets (that’s me), knowing when to push a lane, when to support your team, when to reap the successes of a teamfight and when to pull back will contribute toward a win even if you’re 1/15/5. And a lot of punching of course.

Where Deadlock is nice right now is the short queue times and nice pick mechanism, helpful indicators for a lot of things once you know what they mean, and fun movement combos with dashing sliding and jumping.

$0.11 Canadian/kWh, my usage is about 150kWh per person per month, but I don’t have summer AC. There’s a higher rate beyond a threshold of 675kW/h but that’s still under 15 cents. With a zero-use daily charge including municipal levies about 30 cents per day, and some fluctuations based on power sold, imported and other costs (my last bill had like $3 in credits). All in all about CA$25/mo ($18US).

Charged by BCHydro, the provincial power regulator. I’ve been really shocked at how cheap utilities are overall in BC, I budgeted about 3 times the amount I needed when I first moved.

🖐🤚We need to bring the wand-manufacturing jobs back to America 👐, it’s terrible👆 they’ve all closed up shop and moved to Narnia.

Ok. When media gets hold of her, this is what they’re going to do:

Breaking news: Harris says XYZ in interview!

Coming Up Next: Why Trump says that Harris saying XYZ is bad!!!

Over and over again so that they get to lick both sides of the pot in engagement.

Slightly unrelated thought that occurred to me…

Harris, during the debate, invited people to attend Trump rallies. Republicans wouldn’t want to do anything that a liberal, communist Democrat like Harris would ask them to. Which might be more disincentive to attend the rallies and melt Trump and his followers’ brains even more than just the heat.

There needs to be healthcare/health insurance standards, similar to Air Passenger Regulations.

If you pay for an insurance, the insurance has to be able to arrange appropriate care within 7 days after a request is submitted. If not then the insurer is liable for all costs no matter which doctor the patient visits. That will get these companies’ asses in gear.

Wink wink nudge nudge Labour Minister, CIRB, you know what I’m saying, eh? - Air Canada CEO

Trump’s advisors were reaching for any reason to convince him he won, because they know how disastrous another debate would be.

Not to worry, we will be entertained by the Walz-Vance faceoff, though I’ll admit giving TFG the talking to he’s deserved since forever ago was immensely gratifying.

The files are in the computer

Those files will reveal all the evidence the City Commissioners were hiding!!!
