Prison is the bare minimum. There's a reason Mussolini got the treatment he got.

Most of them, yes. But I feel like the weight of their extended family and larger community calling them Nazi Brownshirts does actually weigh on their mental health. The goal here is to demoralize them as much as possible, and literally just shame them out of being fucking awful. Nazi thuggery doesn't really work as well if the entirety of national culture thinks you're a pathetic shitstain and you face active resistance every waking moment of the day.

I haven't lived in NYC for over a decade at this point, but I happen to remember that the G train was a fucking myth. Living in Bed-Stuy meant you either had to get home before like 10pm (which, it's fucking NYC...the bars are open until 4am) or you'd likely have a 30-90 minute wait for the train.

I hope that they build these lines, and also increase service on the G train. That was a damn nightmare.

I love both Tanille and Tony. Tanille is going to be #1 on my ballot, no doubt about that.

Well now, the idea of having European troops in Canada is not one I'd ever considered but it's intriguing in a dystopian future kind of way

I'd love it if Canada could scoop in here to undercut the US in some way, but I guess it's a generally good thing if there's more than just one dominant player in critical minerals.

As far as Canadian presence on the fedi, potential federal NDP leader Avi Lewis has been prioritizing Mastodon as one of the campaign's primary social media outlets:

I hope that hockey culture can change course at some point.

This is incredible!

I'm genuinely curious about the ability of the Canadian military to open military bases in Greenland as part of NATO. If we're investing all of this new money into our military to protect the North, and we're allowed to build out capacity in Greenland, we should absolutely do it.

The ability to extend military operations to the other side of Baffin Bay / Labrador Sea would be huge. Obviously, we'd do that in coordination with NATO, but considering it's so close to us, we should really be highly involved there (if not leading the efforts).
