Rest in peace to the best dog I could’ve ever asked for. I love you so much Arya, thank you for these incredible 10 years we got to spend together. You’ll always, always be in my heart, my beautiful, perfect puppy ❤️
@JakeLandauTO It’s one of the issues with the pan-Indigenous movement. I think it does a big disservice to the 100s of nations and their cultures to tie them all together. As someone with an indigenous studies degree from ON, academic discourse is deeply Anishinaabe centric
@MobyDickSpoiler Voting for the most comically corrupt party in the country just because they wave the maple leaf every once in a while. Also, Anglos seem pretty comfortable voting for the PLQ after Bourassa and the party passed Bill 22 and declared the province to be French
At age 52, Ichiro just threw a 127-pitch shutout with 17 strikeouts during an All-Star game against the best high school girls in Japan. https://t.co/998J5c4U2E
@RetreatF0rward@ProgDirectorate As opposed to the other parties in the UK, full of competent geniuses? LOL. At least the SNP have delivered material benefits to the Scots while in power. What the fuck have any of the other parties done beyond watching over this decade plus of managed decline?
At roughly 00:10 local time, Chinese Premier and founder of the People’s Republic of China Mao Zedong died of organ failure. He was 82.
The government of China orders a week of national mourning. All entertainment and music will be suspended and all places of recreation will be closed.
Albania, Kampuchea, North Korea, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, and Venezuela all declare one week of national mourning.
Noticeably, the Soviet Union uses the opportunity to criticize Maoism as an ideology.
Ha'aretz reports that Hamas, through Qatar, conveyed immediately on Oct. 7 that they were willing to return all the civilian hostages for nothing -- their only ask was for a mediator to arrange the exchange and establish a connection to then negotiate the further release of the soldiers. Israel refused to talk or hear about it.
So Qatar reached out to Antony Blinken to let him know that Hamas was willing to release all the civilian hostages.
Blinken told Qatar he didn't want to hear it because "Israel is still under attack, and there's no one to talk to."
Blinken had the opportunity to free every single civilian hostage and de-escalate the situation. Instead he wanted war.
@BrandonASWard@TheKoopaGuy He has a pretty eclectic set of beliefs from both the Progressive Conservative and Reform precursors of the Conservative Party- that’s all then put through the lens of a west coast millennial cartoonist and youtuber. He’s not exactly representative of the party as a whole LOL
@JordanRosenberg@souljagoyteller Unless you’re looking at history with a fully moralized lens, there’s no way of saying that Polk was the worst. He accomplished every single one of his goals and campaign promises in one term and didn’t run again. A vile, bigoted imperialist- but he was objectively successful
techno-optimists befuddled by declining popular support for “the robot that tells you to kill yourself”, “the pervert glasses“, and “the camera network that stalks you”
New NDP leader Avi Lewis pledged to take the party leftward, reconnect it to social movements, and democratize its inner workings.
@DesmondCole joins Lewis in the Toronto Beaches—East York by-election to take a look at the party’s rebuild.
@JoeMaozzulla@cardinal_craft Because the English forced French Canadians after the Plains of Abraham to denounce the Catholic Church and to swear an oath to the British crown if they wanted any jobs in the civil service. Do you think the economic disparities just popped up from nowhere?
