Couldn’t agree more. The politicians are only outraged as their donors are pissed. They couldn’t give a shit what happens as long as they get re-elected

Not arguing that. Of the broadcasters / big media types, I find the BBC usually one of the better ones. But then I get my news from a wide variety of sources. The Intercept is generally a very good addition to my daily intake.

OK, so next it’ll be the an entrapment operation? And then maybe an assassination?

I mean, if history is our guide…

I am guessing you’ve never watched (say) Fox News in the US?

I’m not saying the BBC is good per se. I’m saying it’s slightly more objective than the rest.

Actually, the World Service will remain accessible, but that’s also not where most people go these days.

And just at a time when the US really needs a decent news service…

I am sure this was discussed at the Starmer - Trump talks as a way to further isolate Americans from the truth.

I guess it’s just Al-Jazeera now…

Two replies:

Sporting events can often run until 10pm or later - If I use the trains, I usually am heading to Oakville. If I am lucky, there may be three trains within 90 minutes of the game ending (all hideously crowded), and are often full of drunken ass-hats you know are driving when they get off… But Richmond Hill? Vaughan? Hamilton? Further afield? Your train-line usually stops after the commuter rush, which explains why the highways are so awful

And as for TTC stopping at 0100, Bah - Most pubs and clubs are open later than that. While I don’t personally frequent them myself, I am reminded of growing up in the UK when you could generally still catch a bus or train after 0300 because many services ran all night. It also would also massively help those who work late shifts.

Toronto may have more subway stops than many American cities, but from a “serve the needs of the people” perspective, its transport system alone makes it a complete shit-hole to live in.

Maybe if they actually added some service at the appropriate times it would help? Especially when the concert ends.

And for sports events, IME a lot of the people coming in are from the suburbs. Firstly, a lot of the trains stop before the event is even over. Secondly, when there are still trains they’re incredibly infrequent and massively over-crowded.

Changing prices isn’t going to fix this. It’s a capacity problem spread over multiple regions and transport authorities

but why is the American flag over an Australian? I mean, it’s not like we Brits didn’t fuck them over too, but some accuracy would be nice

Don’t forget the press release they can also make saying how nice they are for donating, too…

Just fucking no.

Please, please, please, let everyone using it have the area code 666…

Religion just makes all of that abuse easier by telling the victim they are “a sinner” before if even happens

To be fair, the word Christian in this sentence is not the one doing the heavy lifting.

Then again, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a poor, powerful Christian

The Icelandic series Trapped is fantastic, and the “sequel” Entrapped is also excellent.

Les Revenant (French I think) was spooky

If you can I find them, Deutschland 83, 86 and 89 and also stellar and remain on of my favorite shows in any language. Dark is not far behind either

Given that they’re not judged until after they die, aren’t they in this state anyway?

I don’t think there is anyone employed in any capacity today that is less competent than US politicians.

This reminds me of the time one the states tried to create legislation that the value of Pi was equal to 3…

Love this. For years, tax exempt Churches have been praising Donald Trump and his Christofascist cronies. Despite this being forbidden, no one does jack-shit.

And then a few ultra-rich musicians share that they are not 100% on board with Trump’s 2020’s remake of the movie Idiocracy and he’s calling for a “major investigation”?

Someone’s mommy really didn’t love him

Possibly, but that’s just a token fine nowadays. Or free if you make a political donation to then right party
