  • The Smear Campaign Against Zohran Mamdani Failed. That’s a Huge Deal.

  • 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…

  • Toronto is considering raising parking fees and lowering transit fares during concerts and sports games to encourage people to take public transit rather than their car

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Love and welcome the clarifications - Couldn’t agree more

  • There’s definitely a difference between the people proposing such things (a minority) and their followers:

    The minority definitely seem get caught with their pants down more often, usually with a rent-boy and a bag of meth. Totally get that maybe this is about “forbidden fruit”

    But the rest? Definitely due lack of education and religion (which usually follows the former).

    Now, for the most part, the poor southerners I’ve met really don’t care about homosexuality when you talk to them alone. In bigger groups, it’s definitely a problem. How you fix this, I definitely don’t know, but it is definitely not by victimizing.

    Unfortunately, the minority have created other “cognitive barriers” to prevent the poor from realizing what their actual challenges are - Immigrants is another good example.

    In short, this is just another form of class warfare.

  • 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

  • THIS always annoys me.

  • 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

  • If the Romans had put Jesus in a box with Schrödinger's cat, Christians’ souls would be in a quantum superposition of saved and damned.

  • 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”?
