Dalai Lama kisses a kid on the lips and asks the kid to suck on his tongue.

It could be a cultural difference that's being misinterpreted.

But also: Dalai Lama is on record saying "homosexuality" is unnatural. So he's already used up all benefit of the doubt, and more.

In "Do We Need Elections?", David Moscrop explores democracy without elections (mostly) where leadership really is by the people for the people.

Rogers takeover of shaw approved

Laura Tribe of OpenMedia sums up my thoughts on this perfectly: "Today's decision is the largest blow to telecommunications competition and affordability we've ever seen."

https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/rogers-shaw-approval-1.6797175

Our government is absolutely not looking out for our best interests. Adding another large corporation to our telecommunications oligopily will not solve our oligopoly problem! Things will be much worse for consumers! Good luck enforcing these rules (which are already very light handed), they'll have plenty of money made by ripping off Canadian's to fight it all in court. These conditions are about as useful as a pinky promise.

Monopolies and oligopilies have shown us over and over again that they will never act in the favor of the consumer (that directly violates their one goal: profit). Why do we keep approving them? Instead of allowing them to operate and wasting millions of taxpayers money trying to enforce rules why don't we just prevent them from forming in the first place?

Oil lobbiests get articles they dont like removed by stealing said articles, backdating them, and then accusing the original authors of IP infringement.

This is one of many examples of Oil companies using the law in any which way they see fit, including simultaneously violating the very law with which they are enforcing on others. We need to enforce harsher punishments for such illegal and undemocratic actions.

the clouds have come in and the glow is no longer visible. that's the power of the clouds!

i bet that tonight pele and poli'ahu are gonna brawl.

snow fell on mauna kea last night, so poli'ahu is there in her usual abode.

and across the huge valley, at almost equal height as mauna kea, flows pele, on mauna loa.

down here, the coquis sing & the plants are calm. but up there? at 10,000 feet? are pele & poli'ahu already going to head to head? are the winds whipping and the lava spurting? i bet there are all kinds of interesting phenmona that happen when two such powerful forces come head to head... if snow really is falling up there, it's a big battle indeed...

Humbled??? You look smug. Oh yep Trudeau’s fault for inflation and housing.
Ok some good things for 6 months to help Albertans, but not inflation. Aka bribes until next election.
#Healthcare ok old trope of too many managers, shown over and over again to be false - claiming NDP nearly bankrupted AB - no mention of HOW her plan will be accomplished. #blameOttawa again bunch of bullshit equalization BS #albertaSovereignty more BS a flip flop #ableg #poli

»Doch nach einem Beschluss des Bundesverfassungsgerichts vom 7. März 2011 dürfte die Aktion der Straßenblockierer unter die Versammlungsfreiheit fallen und deshalb nicht strafbar sein. Das mag manchem ärgerlich erscheinen. Der Rechtsstaat gilt aber auch für all jene, die ihn nicht respektieren. «

From Twitter #poli-sci today:
Dave Troy 🌻 - @davetroy: In all the blather about “free speech,” the assumption is that speech is made in good faith.

We are failing to consider speech made in bad faith with the intention of harming society and advancing genocide. We should be focusing our attention there, because that’s the problem.

tiens le connard du dessous qui revient se plaindre qu'on l'a réveillé à 3h du mat', heure à laquelle je dormais comme un loir.

ah alors c'est quelqu'un d'autre chez vous !
