So what if all Trump's bluster about Canada and Greenland is actually because of climate change? Like, preparing for the migration from the southern and coastal US in upcoming decades? But of course he can't say that to his base
Your periodic reminder that if you need to get out of your house FAST, do not bother trying to stuff your cats into carriers, just scoop them up in pillowcases. (You can drop said squirming rage sacks into carriers for added security if you have time.)
While Trump threatens to invade Canada and his MAGA movement bullies and harasses Canadians and other US allies, Canadians are busy saving USians from burning alive.
Canadian air crews in Los Angeles risked their lives to save US civilians. #palisadesfire
How did the tech bro crowd, growing up on stories of sci-fi, transhumanism, virtual reality and limitless ability to modify one's body, "biohacking," etc. end up becoming so viscerally anti-transgender? Truly boggles my mind.
If only there were some sort of fixed amount you paid every year to support civil services and public infrastructure. We could even tie it to something like assets and income so that those who have the least don't disproportionately pay the most when disaster strikes.
“This is what you get. Free health care, Universal free healthcare. ... Those gun laws that your Congress is too afraid to pass because of the national gun lobby, we already got our strict gun laws. That’s why we have the safest streets in the world.”

The box I have sent to my enemies labeled "Live Scorpions," containing another, smaller, box also labeled "Live Scorpions" has my enemies asking a lot of questions already answered by the boxes of live scorpions.
18 USC §1716(c) & USPS Publication 52 §§526.5 make it a federal crime to mail live scorpions unless they're in a box that's clearly marked "Live Scorpions" and that box is inside yet another box that also says "Live Scorpions."
