When getting attention on social media became more important than passing good any laws. When your side (the royal you, not Mattola) winning became more important than the actual facts, data, relevant arguments, and, ya know, the general fucking welfare of the populace as a whole. When we put a device in our pocket with all of the knowledge of civilization inside it, and we used it to watch cat videos, imagine ourselves as content experts, and found information that confirmed our own biases (even the really stupid ones!) instead of informing or challenging them.

I could write a lot more about it, but that's it in a nutshell.

The decline of western civilization didn't take long to document. That's a little depressing.

I recently was watching a twitter video from a few years ago where Mark Carney (former governor of the Bank of Canada) was speaking and he gave a very eloquent talk. There is some talk that people want him to take over for Justin Trudeau, but I don't think he's interested in the job. At any rate, the majority of comments weren't about his speech content, but rather his delivery and how dry and boring it was.

That's the thing, politics these days is all about the sizzle and very few care about the steak (had to work in another steak reference). It's all about likes, re-tweets and mentions and very little to do with actual policies.

Mark Carney definitely wants the job but he would be Michael Ignatieff 2.0 IMO.

He’s very much an academic who can’t really talk across to non-academics. Toss in the fact he left a government job here to take the same but more prestigious role at the Bank of England and you might as well serve him to the opposition on a platter.

Also, seems like the Libs are positioning Dominic LeBlanc as next man up.

The dedication to absolutely sewer the public and the future of your party so everyone can get their pensions is so inspiring.

This is so blatantly not in the best interest of the country at this point.

that dudes comment on the apostle is more disturbing
That guy is pretty funny, it’s a parody account, he doctors photos and such and pisses off the MAGA crowd. He’s a good follow

You could see the exact moment his balls retracted into his gut


i love how he just brushes it off.

I know its a national obsession to talk about things from 2 years ago 3 years ago....

his balls didnt retract because he doesnt have any and probably isnt even human

So a MAGA neighbor yesterday was telling me (trust me had no intentions to speak to them, they just invite themselves to talk to me ) that all these college protestors are being paid to protest.

Naturally I had to ask so all the Jan 6th protestors were paid to be there?

He had no response to be and just walked away.
Hopefully this is the last time ever they talk to me. :D

When someone explains what Kaitlyn argued there to Daddy Trump, he is going to be really mad at Jimothy Dumbothy.
