Maybe it's Adrenochrome?

I mean, look at him. That's the face of a multibillionaire who has absolutely eaten a baby.

Looks like he got the go-ahead for that little bump from his daddy.

On the off chance someone reading is feeling mildly irked by the bombastic language used to describe this fucked up weather, ysk 'bomb cyclone' is a technical term in use since the 50s and has a formal definition. TIL (and you can too!)

Or just scroll down OPs page to the Bomb Cyclone 101 link.

BC had gusts at almost 160 km/h from this beast yesterday and about 150K people lost power. At the last update I read, about 90K people were still in the dark.

He's a dumb nazi with a diaper full of McDs. Of course he's angry.

Probably takes 3 people with superiour genes and a tarp just to get him into a fresh nappy.

OT, but most of my students in their 20s can barely use keyboards. It really stresses them out and they get mad about it. Papers are either copy-paste then AI filtered a few times, or speech-to-text with a quick grammerly scan. Drives me bonkers too. Just to say, I'm sorry your work isn't appreciated.

It IS simple and awesome, and it can be cheap af. Got mine from a dollarstore 2 decades ago and I still love it more than any other coffee prep.

99% sure it's the verb for putting clothes pegs on the washing line.

If Trump repeals the ACA it's Harris' fault! I'm a Democrat who was too good to vote!

Another anecdote to add (may as well leave it with your daughter's). Since Wednesday I've been catcalled 4 times, just out getting groceries, doing errands. I'm a woman in my late 40s in Canada who hasn't been catcalled in that specifically threatening nasty way since my early 30s. And it's ALL been from rabid-looking white guys. They've obviously been given a very clear go-ahead with Trump's win.

Religious Fundamentalist women have a tougher mental barrier to get through than most. For the Christian fundies I grew up with, women 1] are literally created FOR men (1 Corinthians 11:9), 2] have been deemed by God as incapable of governing themselves, so they must be ruled by their husbands (Genesis 3:16), and 3] must vow to Obey their husbands as they would God Himself.

Like Jovial's story about the miscarriage. The bible decrees that if women have trouble with a pregnancy, it's because they're not trusting and faithful enough (1 Timothy 2:15), so if she is a fundie, she likely thinks her lifesaving abortion was a result her failure to believe enough. Her God literally says that if she had died back then, then she brought it on herself. It's all inculcated woman-hating victim-blaming Family Values rot.

Blaming the voters is insane.

Ontario grocery stores — particularly smaller, independent shops — say new bottle return requirements that were sprung on them a week before they're set to take effect may make it impossible to participate in Premier Doug Ford's expansion of alcohol sales. [...]

Grocery stores [...] that sell alcohol will also have to accept empties.

Having the smell of stale beer mingling with the smell of fresh food — and having to put not-quite-entirely-empty bottles that become fruit-fly magnets near produce sections — would not be good for business, they said.

But with new and detailed requirements communicated to them this week by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario just days before they begin, retailers say they don't know how they will make it work, and some are planning to hand back their licences.

 

Closed work permits are part of Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker program, empowering exploitative bosses across the country. This story focuses on one franchise owner, but juxtaposes one worker who was able to get an open permit with another who's stuck in his precarious situation.

 

On Jan. 6, 2021, an angry mob of Donald Trump supporters swarmed a CBC News crew working near Capitol Hill. Nearly four years later, reporter Katie Nicholson tracked down one of the people who surrounded her that day to find out what she’s thinking heading into another volatile U.S. presidential election.

Was worth the watch for the emotional contortions the supporter twists herself into when confronted by one of the people she threatened, her Democrat-voting husband dealing with it all, and that messed up Trump paraphernalia store.
