Shawinigan Handshake Brings All the Boys to the Yard

And yes, I have lofty goals of getting “clinchpoop” and “sandbox croissant” into your lexicon. Former dates back to the 16th Century; latter I saw once on LinkedIn. Dude was taking a right-wing troll to task and he dropped that poetic epithet. I’m a cat owner. I assume it means what it sounds like.

Female athletes at every level are not out here asking for protection from stiffer competition. They are asking for better game times, better facilities, better equipment, and better protection against sexual harassment and assault.

It's almost like they don't really care about women and they are just using trans women as a trojan horse to attack Title IX protections for all women and Democrats must immediately stop taking it at face value. We are on our knees out here begging them to protect women's sports, but for real.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

GOP does nothing but gin up culture wars. Meanwhile: — GOP slashed SNAP benefits to 5+ million Americans, forcing them to turn to food banks. — Trump's tariffs and war spurred inflation, making it more expensive to eat at The Cheesecake Factory. Prices are now ~13% higher than when he took office.

I grew up in a lower income immigrant family and we ate at Red Lobster for "special days." But we also understood the White House should not look like the inside of Red Lobster. It's condescending to assuming working ppl are culturally illiterate bc their experience is shaped by their limited means.

Not every day you see a politician own a trillionaire rather than the other way around. #Talarico #Texas

This is the logical terminus of being a PickMe! I wish it were rare. It would be, if men didn’t accept it as cut-rate currency

This MAGA-adjacent astroturf cannot get its ass kicked badly enough for me

Make like a 🍁 and REMAIN! …OK, gotta workshop this one

BREAKING: FIRST NUMBERS FINALLY IN! 76.6% remain in Canada 23.4% separation referendum Less than half the polls counted. Unclear which ridings are included, or if mail-in, to put these %s into context.

Mom and dad aren't mad, they’re just disappointed that you experimented with separation.

As Canada awaits the Alberta separation referendum results, let’s remember how stupid this all is. Huge public money spent on a Russian & American-fuelled separation movement for an awfully-written and badly managed unbinding referendum on whether to hold a binding referendum that would be illegal.

A separatist vote win, or even a relatively high separatist loss, would IMMEDIATELY DAMAGE CANADA, particularly economically, as it would send a message to every possible investor in Alberta and Canada that such an investment is a bad bet. And that’s what these shady foreign actors want. Vote.

I think conservatives should assimilate. Kid Rock is a relentless artifact of the conservative refusal to engage with American culture and make their own alternative reality, in which he is a good performer who makes good music.

one thing I'm gonna say is: more horn sections and drumlines at protests please.

This is the most Utah driver take ever. Demanding situational awareness is an affront to the local Main Character Syndrome and will not be tolerated

This article offers half a dozen reasons why people have stopped having friends and family over, but it ignores the fact that the women who planned parties and kept homes tidy enough for unplanned guests are now working for pay full-time (usually more than 9-5). www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

My only comment is that the Lost Canadian bill is about citizenship, not immigration (we are Canadians) and the Hon. Min. Diab has made a shambles of the implementation of C-3 far beyond cancelling proofs (the most egregious example, but just the tip of the iceberg).

Sometimes a joke is so good it makes you angry.

Executive putting out a lot of statements today (snuff films, Minnesotan pogroms) that they intended to make their continued existence as the Executive rather intolerable for the 2 years remaining we might otherwise tolerate it. I can barely tolerate it for the next month.

It is going to be a long month to November, a longer winter to January, and a very long road to 2029. Only way out is through, the way through is out.

I took the oath of Canadian citizenship from a William Shatner impersonator and I consider it binding

Holy shit.

Well, if Hillary and Kamala lost to Trump it means that they had terrible campaigns and failed to capture voters. But if Bernie lost to Biden and Hillary by millions of votes, it can only mean that the DNC screwed him.

yes. the big takeaway from the crucifixion of Jesus is that capital punishment is good.

I really don’t know a lot of situations where conservative women are the *intellectual* backbone of any relationship (most especially not when it’s deserved). I just want to check this because “bad women influencing neutral men” is a a bullshit way to explain why white men have shit politics.

It’s true women are usually more religiously active, therefore more likely to influence in terms of church culture laden morality. There are also a lot of open tactics of manipulation (be the neck that makes the head kind of shit). But the interplay between sexes is more complicated than all that.
