Everyone responding to this poll chooses between a blue pill or red pill. - Blue pill tastes like raspberry - Red pill tastes like strawberry - Nobody suffers any ill effects as a result of your choice Which do you choose?

By now I think polytropos is an English word in its own right that doesn't actually require further translation.

In my experience, Canadian rich kids either become doctors and lawyers, or they get some made-up job at a society-ruining grievance NGO. So much of our current woes are because our rich kid pipeline broke and we produced an unsustainable number of Avi Lewis'.

Albertans will always vote against separation by a huge margin, so the whole referendum idea was always dumb. But this court ruling preventing the vote from even being held, on the pretence of indigenous consultation rights, strikes me as a greater offense to Albertan democracy.

@TFCNU2 Election denialism is nothing more than MAGA conspiracy theories.

I often think about the fact that Denis Villeneuve regards Dune as an allegory about French Canadian anti-colonial struggles. On the one hand, that's insane. On the other hand, it kind of makes sense.

@rejectHisDesign If you happen to be carrying a can of dog/coyote spray, which you carry only for the purpose of using on vicious dogs as specified on the label, it's perfectly legitimate to use it on a human attacker in an emergency.

I found out recently that I was deceived by social activists in an elaborate scheme dating back to January. A production group with what I now know has a fake name and fake identities gave me a friendly interview about my book A Day with Sir John A, and about Sir John A Macdonald, back in Feb. They connected me with a fake company called Heritage Figures Canada with a fake website and "hired" me to perform consulting work for them. We had what I now know were fake meetings, fake documents, fake commercial shoot, fake prototype of a Sir John A collectible. Then in a second filmed interview last week, they turned on me, and it was revealed to have all been a setup in order to demonize Sir John A and smear me. It turns out this is a taxpayer-funded CBC and APTN project. There is so much more, I will make a video. They also deceived @FrancesWiddows1

@MrMoviewise Because titling things after the main protagonist has been working since Robinson Crusoe?

I never understood the drive to title your film after the unremarkably-named fictional character you just made up. What’s in Michael Clayton, Jerry Maguire, Ella McCay, Ally McBeal or Emilia Pérez that screams ‘watch me’?

@hellspatisserie it was a reaction the the expansion of british hegemony-before the seven years war, the colonies ran themselves essentially, then after more than doubling their territory in the new world the british wanted more control over how it was run and this inspired the revolution

Quite hard to square the American Revolution with a lot of grand narratives. Hard to contextualize within the Age of Revolutions because it wasn’t social. Can’t contextualize it within a narrative of British decline because they were on the cusp of total global hegemony
Demon Realms@Demon_Realms

The American "revolution" has got to be the most boring but important historical event ever. A small group of landowners got sick of paying a pretty meagre amount of taxes and fought a stage managed war against an enemy that was totally asleep at the wheel

Most cattle-coded beliefs: - doctors could cure cancer and don’t for some reason - a kid in Gzorglstan built a perpetual motion machine but the government killed him - moon landing / flat earth / creationist stuff obviously - there are X homeless people and X+1 vacant homes

i like how every 6 months someone new finds out the most insane thing ever, that every us government building flies what basically amounts to the JET FUEL CAN'T MELT STEEL BEAMS flag
lady of misrule@ablata_at_alba

so I just learned that the POW/MIA flags on government buildings aren't just, like, commemorations of missing/dead soldiers generally, but are instead based on a conspiracy theory about a bunch of American soldiers being missing, alive, and abandoned after Vietnam?
