Putin says no foreign troops allowed to help Ukraine fight against Russia.
BULLSHIT!
Putin had KJU send 12,000 North Korean troops to fight against Ukraine.

This will not cost him the support of very many Republican voters.
This is how you know Republican voters are a bunch of degenerate pedophile defenders.

Individual sailors and soldiers who destroyed boat Tuesday may have committed war crimes.
"'…zero evidence of self-defense…Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea,' according to Adam Isacson, director for defense oversight at…Washington Office on Latin America. 'Even if…drugs aboard…not a capital offense.'"
Lethal force against civilians in international waters 'is a war crime if not in self-defense,” according to Isacson."

This is a new version of the Western States Pact formed in 2020 when Trump incompetently mismanaged the pandemic and held superspreader rallies.

Transit in BC. Frustrating! A route that used to be 1h 13m in 2011 is now 1h:46m compared to 37 minutes by car.
How can transit planners expect riders to take a bus for 3hrs and 19m when the same journey could be done in 1h 10m in a car?
That's the reality in the Nanaimo transit system. They serve a vast area, with over 100,000 people. But In 25 years, the time to get from the edge of that area, to the middle, has grown.
And don't get me started on using the railway.

Do you take the bus from Port Alberni to Nanaimo?
In Metro Vancouver we have a dedicated bus that picks up people from a few cities and then travels directly to UBC - the 99 or Bee Bus, as it is know locally. I wonder if that would work for your location?
@ElleAdam oh I WISH! :)
I've been advocating for something like that for most of the past 20 years. Unfortunately, Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Courtenay, and Duncan are all their own regional districts with their own transit systems. Getting them to do “inter-city” transit is crazy hard.
So I drive to the nearest practical bus stop. It used to be Qualicum (only 30 minutes), then it was Parksville (40min), now it's 50min to Woodgrove Mall… basically just to avoid the cost of parking at VIU :(

Seeing Straight people who think threatening violence towards Trans people on a global platform to millions of people, some of whom WILL take that advice as "no reason to arrest him"
Just swallow the Transphobic society's lies why don't you, it's easier than giving a shit about us 'dirty' Queers....after all, we're after your children, aren't we?
Maybe if you were a victim of this mans hatred towards Queers like I have been you would understand.

Along with:
- “I may or may not be an immigrant”
- “I may or may not have a mental illness”
- “I may or may not have voted for Harris”
- “I may or may not have voted for Trump”
- “I may or may not be carrying a concealed weapon”
T shirts and bumper stickers are supposed to tell you whether the other person is on your side or not; pointing out that you have no fuxxxing idea is delightfully frustrating.
Immigrant or mental illness, sure those are fine.
The other three things are a choice someone can make. It's not a fact of Who You Are, and really shouldn't be tongue in cheek equated.
I got down to about four months to pay on my car payments, and I started to get emails from the bank about refinancing deals.
Dude. I'm short. I'm almost there. I am NOT going to stretch it out!
Just one month now, and I got another one today. 🤭

Parents must confirm sex at birth for students in girls' sports in Edmonton Public Schools | CBC News
Will parents comply?
Surely there will be protests about this, even on the grounds that all girls suddenly face a barrier to the sports they have a right to play, that boys don't,.
Even if they don't care about trans girls' rights.

> It comes as the Fairness and Safety in Sport Act sets new rules prohibiting transgender athletes from competing in amateur female sports divisions.
"Fairness"? Certainly unfair to trans girls.
"Safety"? How many injuries are caused by trans girls, compared with overall injuries in school sports? Where's the evidence?
Nothing but transphobia, though not really fear, just hate.

Healthcare extra...
One of the areas in healthcare that most sharply highlights the difference between those who can afford private healthcare and those who cannot: dental care.
Thousands are suffering constant pain and related health issues because dental care is simply unaffordable.
Metro prices.
Basic filling, $200-450; root canal, $1.7k - $2.5k; crown - $2k plus; oral hygienist - $120-200.
And specialist services such as endodontics, periodontics or orthodontics are double-triple these prices.
There's a desperate need to provide free dental care for low income and disadvantaged NZers for key dental procedures.

I think there are two things necessary for positive change:
1) A collapse of faith in the bourgeois social order;
2) The growth of a network of directly democratic institutions that involve large numbers of people.
The second is, materially, more work. But people try all the time. Their work is co-opted, and that's where the lack of the first is most painfully felt.
