actually no i need to talk about the green witch arc. ciel and his band of merry fools go to germany and learn that this forest is haunted by WEREWOLVES and in it is a village full of WITCHES with cursed amulets and potions and whatever

and the immediate vibe is "lol what a bunch of bogus" which is really just batshit coming from the kid with a demon butler

and then woah big reveal! it wasn't werewolves or witches it was a covert military operation REPLETE with radar tracking (not a thing until wwii) and electronic displays (most likely crt screens, which again weren't fully developed until the 1930s) and TANKS. for reference the first "tank" was put together by a guy in 1899 who mounted a machine gun to THIS

absolute paragon of engineering. the panzer (the exact model of tank in the arc) was not a thing until wwi.

and. and ciel and ESPECIALLY the Demon Butler in question are like. ohhhh yeah that makes more sense. the amulets were just transmitting our exact locations through technology that won't exist for another three decades. whew glad we sorted that one out. man wouldn't it have been CRAZY if it really was werewolves.

So to understate it, a lot of political stuff is happening right now. And it’s a lot to take in currently. I’m sure some people will still want to be informed. And there is the potential to be overwhelmed by everything.

So I would recommend people watching The Majority Report on YouTube and Twitch. It’s a left-leaning political podcast. Live weekdays for about 2 hours, starting at noon EST. They talk about news stories, often do interviews with journalists/experts in their field. It’s more informal than typical news stations, which is a positive. Because they still carry themselves seriously while also being positive and realistic with the news happening.

And I do think there is something cathartic in watching other people reacting to news stories. But since these are people with years of experience in seeing politics play out, they can talk about it in a hopeful light. Seeing people keeping a level head and offering solutions/possible outcomes of certain things helps to digest the news.

Yesterday was MLK day, so instead of doing their typical coverage they played MLK speeches. Today they’ll likely talk about Trump’s inauguration. So if people still need something to help them digest this stuff….maybe tune in (or at least watch the stream segments after they are posted.)

If you as a person are reacting to Harris losing by saying that it's time to end the boycott, that you're going back to McDonald's and Starbucks, I will bet that you never boycotted in the first place

[tristinian]

So funny that the people who talk about how if they were faced with the trolley problem they would simply derail the trolley and kill everyone hahaha funny lol. Well now they’re abstaining from voting in the US election

In case this could be useful to my fellow Canadians right now...

And, to all my American friends and followers, I am deeply sorry that you have more or less been taken hostage by an egomaniac that seems to be playing the game of "let's expose all the flaws in the American and International systems, by testing how many rules I can break, agreements I can shred to pieces, how many institutions I can set fire to, how many allies I can piss off, and how much damage I can cause the world at large before someone finally manages to put a stop to my destructive bullshit!"

Let me be very clear: less than 1% of the Fentanyl coming illegally into the USA make it past Canadian borders.

Just like less than 1% of immigrants coming illegally into the USA make it past Canadian borders.

[Meanwhile, the USA is Canada's largest source of illegal handguns found in our country, just putting things in perspective!]

And, when you remove the crude oil that the USA is buying from Canada for its refineries, the USA has a $58 billion SURPLUS with Canada, not deficit!

CANADIAN CONSUMERS ALREADY BUY MORE AMERICAN GOODS THAN AMERICAN CONSUMERS BUY CANADIAN PRODUCTS!!!

And yet, it's not the Canadian crude oil that he's hitting with 25% tariffs (oil and energy are kept at 10%)!

Of course not!

Because, if the price of gas at the pump suddenly dramatically spikes, American consumers are way more likely to take notice, and perhaps finally realise that tariffs are a driving force behind inflation, and that consumers are the ones ultimately paying for it!

And, despite our decision to invest $1.3 billion to improve our border safety even more than it already is (since Trump started threatening to hit Canada with 25% tariffs, because of the threat that Fentanyl and immigrants coming illegally into the USA from Canada poses to the broad general American population, apparently), he's chosen to go ahead with them regardless!

He's been refusing to either talk or meet with our Prime Minister ever since he took office, showed no interest in negotiating and trying to resolve this through other means (other than suggesting we should become his 51st State, what the actual fuck dude?!?!?! ), and declared a trade war on Canada and Mexico, his two biggest trading partners.

And it's not like any of his demands or expectations are clear, either!

We can't give him what he wants, because he's not even clearly telling us what he wants!

For us to become the 51st State?

Last I checked, we're a democracy. So, it's not like Trudeau can just go "Oh yes! Where can I sign to become part of the USA, and thus prevent you from openly declaring a trade war on Canada?"

Becoming the 51st American state would need to be voted by the entire Canadian population!

Perhaps Trump is totally unaware of foreign politics, but Quebec has been (unsuccessfully) attempting to leave Canada for years to become its own country, because many Quebecers feel like our national identity and French Canadian culture are too different from that of the English Canadians that form the majority of the Canadian population in other Provinces.

And Quebec alone represents almost a quarter (23%) of all of the Canadian population.

If Canada has been struggling with convincing us that there's a place for us and our culture within Canadian society - and we are literally raised from birth to fear and fight against the threat of cultural assimilation within the English majority in Canada - how likely do you think we are to vote for becoming part of the freaking USA?!?!?!

To be clear, the reason why we're still part of Canada is that the majority of Quebecers have ultimately voted against separating on every referendum on Quebec's sovereignty (though it's been an extremely close call at times, with only 50.58% of Quebecers having voted to stay in Canada back in 1995).

And I am amongst the Quebecers that believe that there is a place for cultural diversity in both Quebec and the rest of Canada, and that you can choose to identify with Quebec's, French Canada's, and English Canada's cultures without feeling like you have to betray or sacrifice your French Canadian origins!

I am also deeply ashamed every time I see Quebecers trying to forcefully assimilate immigrants into our own culture, because we should be the first to understand how complex cultural identity is, and that integrating into a dominant culture shouldn't be the same as losing who you are and where you come from. Gaining a new community to belong to, and partaking in that culture, doesn't mean needing to erase all other traces of another culture in order to belong!

So I'm a Quebecer, I'm a French Canadian (there are French Canadian communities all over Canada, not just in Quebec, hence why I feel it important to make the difference), a Canadian, and a North American.

But the fact remains that Canadians are their own people, tend to take great pride in their own identity and culture, and that we can absolutely love and respect our neighbours without wanting to become our neighbours!

We share North America's resources with Greenland, the USA and Mexico, but we aren't a single people, nor do we wish to be assimilated into a single society!

So, attempting to vilify us by pretending that our lack of proper border control is greatly endangering the lives of the American population, and directly taking steps to profoundly harm our economy while spouting half-baked excuses, is the pure work of a bully!

A much bigger, richer, and more powerful bully that seems to delight in trying to make people feel small and at his fucking mercy!

Because nothing we can say or do - short of agreeing to become USA citizens ourselves - will ever seem to be enough for him, apparently!

He's a fucking Nazi fascist bully, and I genuinely have nothing against the American people that I also see as victims in that whole mess, but if we don't fight back and attempt to stand our ground, he'll just keep trying to push other countries around in his attempt to dominate the freaking world!

The one thing I sort of disliked in Trudeau's speech, yesterday, however, is when he said that Canada was the best country in the world (in an effort to rally and reassure us), because we are not.

I don't believe that such talk is relevant in the world today, since the situation isn't about which country is the worst or the best in the world, but striving to do what's right and stopping a bully from continuing to threateningly advance on the world in whichever way we can!

It's not about "putting Canada first", either!

But if Canada capitulates (with what? What are his freaking demands?!), what's going to happen afterwards?

Is he trying to economically cripple us, just so we'll get so desperate that he thinks he'll just be going to be able to buy us like he apparently thought he could buy Greenland at some point?

Scrap that! Still thinks he can buy Greenland?

So yeah, please forgive Canadians for needing to avoid investing any more money into the American economy right now, to hopefully help those of you that haven't been able to see yet that all Trump is doing is generating way more hardships for his people and the rest of the world than he is solving any problems to do so!

He's not making America Great Again, he's Internationally making America be perceived as an unreliable, untrustworthy, selfish, abusive, lying bully!

And we are a population of 40 million vs an American population of 335 million.  

We can't declare war on the USA to liberate you from a problem that your own democracy sadly voted for, although some of us are fully aware of the brainwashing techniques and lies that he used in order to gather those votes!

The only ones that can request more accountability from their own President and revolt against him are the American people themselves.

So, if the prices for building new houses, certain foods, gas, cars, house appliances, electronics, etc. keep on increasing, and people outside of the USA stop buying American products for which they can find alternatives, I'm hoping that the rest of the USA might start catching on to the fact that Trump is a criminal and shitty negotiator that drove his companies to bankruptcy 6 fucking times! Not some white savior that will magically fix every single problem in the world including the USA's economy!

[moomeecore]

burnt my hand on burrito and so told my cat who was sitting in chair right in front of where i was standing: "you could have prevented this. if you voted for harris." but then i felt bad so i told him "im sorry i know you cant vote" but he tried to bite my hand so i changed my mind and told him "you should have voted anyway." why am i telling you this? idk but my tummy hurts. and i gained weight (okay, i need more weight) and can't fit into a pants i like (not okay, sad) and can't find any pants that aren't shorts or sweatpants. so basically this could have all been prevented if my cat voted for harris. thanks a lot dude

OH YEAH WILD AND UNPLEASANT CUSTOMER INTERACTION THIS AFTERNOON (early in my shift too)

below cut cause uh. tw racism

so first words outta this assholes mouth are to comment on my "pretty blue eyes". i dont say anything, just ask what he would like. he tells me one of the salads, and as im grabbing the stuff, he says "you probably go to university right? you look like a university girl"

i say yeah, cause i have no reason to keep that to myself. he says "probably a doctor or lawyer, huh?" and im like "nope, writer" as im beginning to put his salad into a container

and then this bitch says "what do you think of the arabs in the university higher ups?"

ALARM BELLS FUCKIN RING IN MY HEAD

"i dont really care," i say. because i dont, good for them.

he continues, saying that the arabs and syrians are gonna replace us and steal our jobs and at this point im just tryna very quickly finish up this interaction cause i am this 👌 close to saying something that would probably get me fired or purposely provoke him which while could have been fun. would mean having to interact with him longer than necessary. so i tell him im not allowed to talk about these things at work

to which he says "well i can" and then something unintelligible about his relationship to the government? idk i was tuning his ass out at this point, asked if he would be getting anything else, and as soon as he said no i escaped to the back to tell my managers wtf just happened

after this interaction too the blue eye comment made me EVEN MORE uncomfortable to think about

CNN: After Trump’s guilty verdict, threats and attempts to dox Trump jurors proliferate online

So, Rump's now - officially - guilty, something we all already knew.

tRump's & his cultists' usual response - threatening violence - is an outsized reaction for a verdict where the Rump will probably never serve a day in jail.

They should save their venom for the more serious upcoming trials...

Though I'm sure they have plenty of gripes left over to suit their news sites.

What should be done is to blame Rump for his cultists' actions.

He IS their avowed strongman leader, right?

That means that he controls ALL of their actions.

So, their crimes must have been 'inspired' from the words out of tRump's mouth...

Allow for the inclusion of the death penalty - for every person killed by his own people.

This should have already happened, for the Rump's criminal advice - to his own followers - during the pandemic.

He's personally guilty for thousands of deaths.

All because of his sheer stupidity at playing 'doctor'...

How much longer will WE allow this buffoon to keep destroying our way of life?

Only time will tell...

End.
