  1. “Death strode away, stopped, and came back. He pointed a skeletal finger at The Duck Man.
    ‘WHY, he said, ARE YOU WALKING AROUND WITH THAT DUCK?’
    ‘What duck?’
    ‘AH. SORRY’”

  2. Not sure if this is just the business-as-usual uselessness of the Saskatchewan provincial government's website, or the special uselessness because of Scott Moe's trump-lite-ian downplaying of COVID and the value of vaccination.

    In any case, they make it difficult to be responsible and get vaccinated. Not even a "check back on <X> date for schedules".

    Also note: bonus points earned for not having a visible date anywhere on the page, so you don't know if this is current, or if it's an orphan page that's been sitting un-updated on the site for five years.

    The funniest thing in the world would be for one of the newly-elected conservatives to resign and trigger a by-election so Poilievre could run, and then he lost again.

    Addressing in order of presentation...

    Single-use plastics: a nothing issue that he hopes to use as a culture-war cudgel to distract from his position (or lack of one) on real issues. Exactly like Trump with his "make our toilets/showers/appliances great again" BS.

    Accompanying media: can't have that. He can only deliver prepared remarks to reporters. If he has to speak extemporaneously, he immediately comes across as the creep that he is [1], and he might accidentally say something true about his policy ambitions which the public wouldn't like.

    4 media questions: stamina. Lying is tiring.

    Cherry-picking media: can't have a media that's actually calling you out on your BS, or asking difficult questions you don't want to address in public. Pick safe, domesticized media outlets.

    [1] He's creepy in the same way J.D. Vance is. My standard analogy is he seems like the guy who hangs around in the gym parking lot to try to talk to that woman who wouldn't remove her headphones when he wanted to talk to her during her workout.

  5. Just had a #Conservative party canvasser at my door, asking if they could "count on my support".

    I said "Not a chance. Poilievre is a piece of shit."

    I like getting the opportunity to be brutally honest with people acting in bad faith (which is a fair description of the CPC under PP).

    "Well, okay then!" she said in a chipper tone, and turned and hightailed it off my front porch.

  6. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
    Child pornography fetishist #EliotCutler and his Jupiter-sized ego enabled #Trumplite #teaparty Governor #PaulLePage to run #Maine into the ground for eight years. This cluster*** set the table for the nation.
    He'll spend nine months in county jail.
    His insufferable 2010 and 2014 #thirdway supporters can pound sand.
