The oil companies specifically asked for the attack, precisely because they wanted this outcome. So did Russia. Trump works for the people who put him in office—not the MAGA types, but his actual supporters.

He lives in an alternate reality that's not connected to the one everyone else lives in.

So many tremendous books nominated for this year's Saskatchewan Book Awards! Congratulations to all the nominees!

Well, I'm not Brian Tyler Cohen, so I can't take responsibility for his claim that it's breaking news.

When I read this, my first thought was “you first, asshole.” I don’t like being someone who thinks like that. It’s not what I want for myself. But faced with his malignant narcissistic incompetence, his rank stupidity and racism, I can’t respond differently. I loathe him.

🤣🤣🤣

March 20 at the University of Regina! Jenna Hunnef will discuss Tommy Orange's fantastic novel There There!

I heard this statement this morning, and once again I was astonished at the sheer effrontery of the lies. Do they think nobody is aware of reality? Are they unaware of reality? It absolutely beggars my imagination.

Bored of Peace.

Why the delay? I’m genuinely curious.

Dear Women’s USA Olympic Hockey Team — First, congratulations! Second: I drove race cars for 19 yrs & the amount of misogynistic crap I put up with in the garage was insane. The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team has now shown you their true colors. Believe them. They’re not friends of your team or women in general. I’m so tired of this misogyny in sports & everywhere else in American life, to be honest. The patriarchy sucks. Grow the fuck up or hand the keys over to the ladies. Maybe it’s time we drive.

Leilani Munter, y'all.

Many of my fellow Canadians will remember this gem, which told us all we needed to know about Mike Huckabee.

'A Big F*ck You to Big Tech': New Jersey Residents Defeat AI Data Center | Common Dreams "It's time to build communities, not data centers," said one local activist.

New Brunswick, NJ just canceled plans for a colossal AI data center after massive pushback from the community.

That's a huge win for people power.

AI data centers are sucking up communities’ utilities AND draining state resources — while enriching Big Tech CEOs.
