C’mon, people. Look at your Kremlin style guide. The phrase is “special military operation.” Not all of you are getting this right.

Say what you will about Mark Carney but nobody has done more to revive the Federal NDP than he has. Good luck on winning the Terrebonne by-election.
Marc Miller wondering why he stuck around to play second fiddle to a moron like Solomon.
Indiana Jones, too tired for a sword fight, takes out pistol and shoots swordsman.
There's a real Indy vibe to this cartoon.
On a day with so much awfulness just taking a moment to note with admiration a dignified leader
Heroes come in many forms and this is one of them

Calvin & Hobbes, sitting on a rock, Hobbes (a stuffed tiger) reading a treasure map and Calvin in a pith helmet holding a flag.
Just a reminder that you've never seen a Calvin & Hobbes animated movie or cartoon is because Bill Watterson didn't want to give Hobbes a voice so he could always live inside your head exactly the way you imagined him. And to this day you have no idea who he ever has voted for. But you can guess.
It would be a mistake to see Trumpism as authoritarianism imposed on an unwilling nation, as opposed to authoritarianism implemented in a nation with a plurality that is already made up of authoritarian bootlickers who created the context for Trumpism to thrive.
Screenshot of a post on X by Pop Crave (@PopCrave) saying: “Billie Eilish condemns ICE in new Instagram reposts:” followed by a large quoted statement calling ICE “a federally funded and supported terrorist group” under the Department of Homeland Security and saying it has done nothing to make streets safer. Below the text is a two-image layout: on the left, a photo of Billie Eilish wearing a black suit jacket and white shirt, looking to the side; on the right, two Instagram Story-style screenshots with text blocks on dark backgrounds.
Glad to see more artists speaking out against ICE.
Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says amandascgorman Minneapolis, Minnesota For Renee Nicole Good Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026 by Amanda Gorman They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose. Iced wheels flinched & froze. Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns. If for us she arose, Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power, The howl where we begin, Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been. Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour & bitter anger of our neighbors Is moved by the love * better angels of our nature.
Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

“i want back my rocking chairs, / solipsist sunsets, / & coastal jungle sounds...”
A poem by Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered by ICE earlier today.

The US has attacked a country, kidnapped its head of state, and is seizing its oil. Trump has invoked the Monroe Doctrine.
This is a moment for Canada to stand up: condemn this act of imperialism. Reject impunity and the politics of brute force.
"Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man... that state is obsolete. A case to be filed under "M" for "Mankind" – in The Twilight Zone."

We increasingly live in a world run by gangsters.
Please give a thought to people whose New Year’s Eve was spent in bomb shelters because a criminal invader was trying to destroy their energy infrastructure.
Convince me that #UPS is not the worst way to deliver a package. Even their Customer Service number seems to have no way to get through to an actual service agent.
A piece for Christmas Eve, by me

I just started watching the Australian show 'Upright' and it's making me realize what a great casting choice Milly Alcock is for this version of Supergirl. Really looking forward to this next summer. (I just wish that Tim Minchin had a small cameo.)

After this weekend's racist attacks on the EU, I've written a column about the moral obligation to stop posting on X.
Oh no, wait, I wrote it *two years ago* when it was blatantly obvious what was going on and how it would get much much worse.

I love soccer and I remember each World Cup with great intensity and always so much look forward to the next. But FIFA that was disgusting, even more disgusting than usual, and now I just can’t. And won’t.
As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.
A gunman tried to silence my wife in an extreme act of political violence.
Now, Trump has called for my execution because he didn’t like what I had to say.
Gabby and I know, when others try to silence you, you must keep speaking out — and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.
PLUR1BUS is something we haven't seen in some time on TV: dangerous science fiction. A real think piece. Takes the question played around with in Asmov's GREEN PATCHES, ANNIHILATION, and even SEA OF RUST, to its most interesting conclusion: What if individualism is the biggest threat to world peace?
In honor of Viktor Orban's visit to Washington, here's a reminder that Orban has made his country corrupt, stagnant, and impoverished:

Cancelled the @nytimes.com. When asked why, I wrote:
“I’m a woman. Fuck YOU.
I ruined the workplace? Men ruined the world. Go fuck yourself.
I’ll find some puzzles somewhere else, you fascist cock-sucking motherfuckers.
Hell hath no fury like us work-place-wrecking bitches, I guess.”
