A fragrance described as “sultry” and “seductive” has brought an autistic woman close to vomiting profusely, it has been rumoured. Siobhan Moorton, 31, from Allerton, is reportedly still recovering from tentatively spraying herself on the wrist with the sample fragrance during a visit to John...

Keep pushing back. Hard.

He blinked on tariffs when Mexico and Canada showed some spine.
His California water stunt failed and has been ridiculed.

Street protests are starting.
Lawsuits are being filed.
Fight back.

In case you missed it, acting ICE head Tom Homan was up yesterday complaining that ICE is having a hard time meeting the quotas they're setting because of campaigns telling people their rights and how to resist raids.

In case you're wondering if the little things you do could possibly make a difference, know that they already are.

Elections Ontario is hiring right now for literally hundreds of jobs for the upcoming election. There are election-day-only roles, and weeks-long office jobs too. Some are on computers (but not remote), others are paperwork.

Coolest part: the jobs are in your riding, so getting there is often pretty easy.

If you are great with people and with being organized, this could be a great gig - check it out, and please boost?

Oh, hello! Say, if you're a US voter, do you know when early voting begins in your state? It's possible you may already be able to vote! Have you made a voting plan for yourself? Have you encouraged eligible voters around you to vote? This year above all others, it matters. Have a plan! Vote!

Time for another lesson from my days fighting in the Mod Wars in one of Twitch's more famous and busy channels

A few years ago, the channel began showing the pronouns of presenters and guests on stream. And toxic gamer types complained incessantly, often in very overtly transphobic ways, regardless of whether anyone on-stream was trans. We banned every single last person who complained. I personally banned hundreds, it must have been a few thousand all together. Anyone who DM'd the mods to apologize/explain it was a misunderstanding got unbanned, but that was a tiny fraction of them; there were more than a few bonus-transphobia parting shot DMs, often aimed at me because I was the first mod alphabetically.

And after a few weeks of this slaughter... the chat became a civil paradise. It was a much healthier environment than before we began showing the pronouns and causing all the most toxic people to volunteer their identity at once. People who are really gross on one axis tend to be unpleasant on all of them.

@courtcan @TCatInReality @StillIRise1963 @401matthall a man came up me with tears in his eyes and he said "ma'am Donald Trump has mad cow disease" and that's the - you know not many people know this but mad cow disease is the strongest disease no one has ever seen a disease so strongly— and there was a table, and I was there and Ivanka, she was— my numbers were the biggest numbers, bigger than what I'm talking about. No one had ever seen such numbers. The media won't tell you that, you know but I was the first to say "mad cow disease" and we gotta get the mad cow disease. We have to do it.

Trump will talk with Putin, but not 60 Minutes.
Chew on that.

Deaf person, spent most of my life living in silence. In my 30s I adopted a chilled and sassy cat called Lady. She lays with me often & purrs. Though I could feel her purring I couldn't hear it. She's the reason I decided to get cochlear implants, because I wanted to hear her.

If you live in¹ ARIZONA, TEXAS, ARKANSAS, MISSISSIPPI, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, TENNESSEE, KENTUCKY, INDIANA, or OHIO, today is the last day to register to vote.

If you're not sure how to register https://vote.gov/ has detailed instructions for each state.

Many people, especially in red states, who previously registered are finding themselves suddenly de-registered. It is worth double checking.

I mean, if an EU citizen’s initiative to tax the rich cannot get a paltry 1 million signatures (less than one quarter of one percent of the population), I guess we really must deserve this bullshit system.

You still have five days, sign this ffs:

Earlier today, a New York Times Reporter asked Tim Walz what time it was. He said 10:30. But the reporter checked his phone, which clearly showed it was 10:31. Why does Walz continue to deceive hard working Americans?

While living in western Europe, we all might have forgotten what borders were :

In the last week, I had 5 passport checks - in the middle of the night -, 3 still in coming.

I'm running around with 5 currencies : 🇪🇺 Euro, 🇺🇦 Hryvnia, 🇲🇩 Leu, 🇷🇺 Rubel and 🇷🇴 Ron, likely tomorrow even still with 🇭🇺 Forints.

Please keep yourself reminded what a privilege open borders, unified currency and the lack of customs checks are.

Defend #Schengen. Share European standards. Open borders. Do not build a fortress.

"Virtue signaling" is just what assholes call basic human decency when they can't comprehend doing something selfless
