  • Seems to be (or becoming) a pattern down there, they don’t like it when people with information give the facts that the government isn’t comfortable with the public knowing like with Rebekah Jones during COVID. How many states are going full fascist these days? Texas is doing raids on people doing voter registrationa that appear to be targeted for minorities.

    It’s exactly what all the shitty countries that Trump complains about do, yet because those states gargle his marbles and kick up the payments it’s all good (plus they’re being racist which is good in his books). It’s mostly the payment but I’m sure he enjoys a good ball wash before he tees off.

    If only there was some critical thinking from people to realize not doing that shit is what made the country better than (some) others.







  • According to the article, quoted.

    Access zones are in place at K-12 schools, and police can arrest or issue tickets to anyone found impeding access, disrupting or interfering with educational activities, or attempting to intimidate an individual within 20 metres (66 feet) of school property,” the province said in a release. Unquoted now…

    What part of that is bad? Nothing says people can’t protest but no one should interfere with kid’s education. Doesn’t say people can’t protest, but they can’t disrupt people who go in there is all which seems fair.

    Edit: forgot to say I can be a bit dense and not realize things so if I’m missing a glaring fact or angle of this please do inform me.




  • Spoilers season 5 ep 1 Doctor Who (new series to be specific)just in case it’s needed, couldn’t figure out the spoiler formatting, yeah old but I wouldn’t want to deprive anyone watching first time

    First Matt Smith episode he basically scares off the aliens by saying ‘you can figure out who I am, do you want to continue this?’ … And for some reason they run from the dude who never wants to touch a gun heh. To be fair he always tries talking until they leave him without peaceful options, which makes him an awesome hero.



  • Not entire network of shows is entertainment there’s the 2 hours a day when they give their preferred hosts a break. I don’t really know the hours spent on actual news but I have the impression it’s in low single digit hours. I also assume they put more emphasis on right wing topics during those times, as factual as they may be rather than a balanced news source. If I’m wrong I’ll gladly be corrected since I don’t really watch broadcast TV anyways (corrected typo)



  • He does say he only checks via prescient, in the book’s time, to make sure they’re still on the golden path so he can get surprised. That is one of my favourite bits as well, he sort of gapped out for a moment. Then later we get introduced to him talking about wool gathering when Moneo’s mind wanders, that just made me ponder if that phrase was because he kept thinking about his surprise earlier in the story due to his own wool gathering. If I recall that phrase came up a few times in the series but I can’t remember if earlier or later books.

    Also if you think about it, never being surprised and living thousands of years would be quite boring and humanizes him in a way that most people would not think of since he’s the worm.
