If you claim to be psychic, you should be forced to undergo a 72-hour evaluation to determine if you are a con artist or delusional.

Well, it's another Luigi. They will inspire others.

@gleick

Every member of the GOP needs to be in Gitmo after this.

Every member of the media who covered for them like this needs to join them there.

Apparently Grigori Rasputin belonged to a sect of Christianity which believe this. Jesus died for our sins, so it would be rude not to sin.

@charlotteclymer

And they only care about the Presidency, which they have zero chance of winning.

The Green Party has been around in one form or another since in the 1980s. They currently have ZERO state-level elected officials.

The Libertarian Party has been around in one form or another since in the 1970s. They currently have ZERO state-level elected officials.

The reason there are not third party options is because they refuse to do the work to become a viable option.

I had to look this up, because I assumed I was wrong.

SORA STARTED LESS THAN SIX MONTHS AGO!

Wow. This is great news.

If they are black, fight back.
If they are brown, lie down.
If they are white, say good night.

Make a lot of noise with black bears and they should hopefully leave you alone.

If you startle a grizzly bear, they have a tendency just to take a swipe at you and they can kill you by accident.

Polar bears consider humans to be food. They also have an amazing sense of smell, so they know you were there for kilometres and were likely tracking you. I'm so sorry.

There needs to be a definition that separates true moons from minor satellites.

If enough people use the Pizza Rat fake emoji, they will have to make a real Pizza Rat emoji.

“There is no organic use case reason for Bitcoin to slow or stop its descent” - Michael Burry.

Exactly. Gold is needed for many industrial purposes, same with silver and all other precious metals. Bitcoin is just a greater fool scheme and if enough fools realize it, it will collapse to zero.

"Abolish ICE is rapidly becoming the compromise position. I want prosecutions and impeachments. "

I've been beyond that for a long time.

I've said the United States needs another Nuremberg trials, but instead of asking people what they did any punishing them for their crimes, you ask them what they did to stop this, and punish them for their complicity.

@scalzi

Did anyone think this was a good idea?

@SKleefeld

As a Canadian, I will never trust the US again, unless Trump, Vance, the entire cabinet, the leadership positions in the House and Senate are all executed.

I am not exaggerating. Even being arrested and tried is not enough.

"...and the CPC were always completely opposed to it."

Which is weird, because they would benefit from pure PR elections.

@davevolek @johannab

I don't blame Trudeau for dropping it. I don't think there are very many people who really like First Past the Post, but the getting even 40% of the people to agree any one solution is next to impossible.

@johannab @hub

"PR is a broad range of specific systems that can be designed to account for regionality and context."

Take each province with 5 or more seats and divide them into Megaridings of five seats with a balanced remainder. (So, for example, Newfoundland and Labrador would have two Megaridings of 4 and 3 seats each.) Then do PR in each riding.

You keep regional elections, but you can't have a party win 40% of the vote in 60% of the ridings and dominate Parliament with 35% support.

@hub @johannab

"PR mean 'Ontario will control parliament'."

No more than it does now.

@silhouette @brewsterkahle @internetarchive

Same here.

@jensorensen

About that last panel... I saw a news story where billionaire with a doomsday bunker and paid security. They interviewed his head of security anonymously and the guy admitted his team had a plan to kill the billionaire and take over the bunker if society truly collapsed. Obviously that's what they would do. The money will be worthless, so why wouldn't they look out for themselves?

"Left behind 30,000 followers.
Only have 1000 here.
But I still get more traffic to my writing..."

I've seen so many people say they same thing. In fact, they usually add that the traffic they get here is better quality, not just more of it.

Mastodon is just a better place to be.
