This is fucking wild. Its so entertaining to watch Piggy man make these incredibly bold moves and try to say “all I want is to kill the people running the military”, as if that’s not literally defying Putin in a way that would guarantee pelonium tea. He wants to make Putin out to be the bad guy who’s going after the one who’s “supporting the troops” and fighting for the Russian cause.
At least here in Canada, I think the economic split between homeowners and renters is going to become massively painful. The government needs to step in and take dramatic action to fix this problem, but doing so could theoretically tank the price of housing, and with so many people having bought at super-high prices, a significance portion of the population (also, the majority of whom have lots of wealth) might get royally fucked. The government might have to make a decision about which portion of the population to protect, and which to sacrifice.
Hi friend! I’m in Abbotsford, it got pretty nasty here today. Thanks for the tips re: icepacks. I’ll keep that in mind.
I married into a Mennonite family here in Canada and watched some history movie about their flight from Europe to Canada as refugees (theres a lot of them over here).
Anyways, it really stuck with me listening to the Behind the Bastards episodes about Makhno that the Mennonites left Europe and did the EXACT SAME THING in Canada that they did in Ukraine. They got brought in by the Canadian government to be the new landowners of colonized land that was freshly stolen from indigenous folks.

Not gonna lie, with a 6 month old at home and no AC, this wildfire smoke is kind of an actual fucking emergency. Today completely broke my wife and I. No AC or even cracking the windows on a hot day, and no outside time for the kiddo, who gets easily bored and has catatonic meltdowns. Fuck me man. Its so fucking depressing to think that this might actually be the tamest wildfire season of the kiddos life. Just fucking gutted TBH.
