Obviously sarcasm. This is frustration, and a frustrated Trump is a dangerous Trump. He clearly expected this to be easier and I cannot believe we are here.

I remember when β€˜Brexit Means Brexit’ became a way for silly people to insist that they supported something they could neither justify nor explain. Obviously the context is very different, but something similar is already happening with the β€˜war’ in Iran. And it’s mostly the same people doing it.

Casablanca is a genuinely ENTERTAINING movie. I think I first saw it in my late teens and enjoyed it thoroughly even then.

This war isn’t an emergency that requires us to give the president more latitude. It’s a monstrosity that requires that judges, lawmakers and above all citizens work to preserve the integrity of elections and the republic.

Yeah, the trollies with the pantographs. We haven’t had BATTERY-driven transit buses built in Canada before

I fucking hate to agree with Trump but he's 100% correct here about Starmer.

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

The data drip this week had to do with high-temperature performance, which was definitely eye-opening showing the cells function at astonishing high temps, 80Β° and 100Β°C.

I try to avoid β€œsilver lining” framing myself. These unlawful invasions are corrosive to the world order. This is just an inevitable unintended consequence

I’m with you here. At the winter solstice it’s literally dark in Whitehorse until after 10am. It’s awful.
