Well that makes perfect sense, can’t have the pure innocent minds of children exposed to their own filthy questions.

Other totally sensible New Brunswick initiatives crossing the Premier’s desk include mandating the bolting of barn doors after animal escapes, issuing Molotov cocktails to firefighters intsead of water hoses and pumps because you have to fight fire with fire, and throwing all of the New Brunswick government’s stationary away to prevent office thefts.

Surely the wave of detransitioners is just around the corner, no? Never mind the ~1% regret rate for gender affirming care, that’s clearly the powerful trans lobby making the medical establishment quiver in their boots and lie about it, right?

For real though, I’d rather die than detransition.

They at least have a leg up on Oceangate. According to the manufacturers of the sub they’re planning to use:

THIRD-PARTY CLASSIFICATION
Don’t just take our word for it. All Triton
submersibles are constructed to the exacting
requirements of the American Bureau of
Shipping (ABS) or DNV for the classification
and construction of manned submersibles.

Sadly, the Triton brochure does not provide prices.

Hmm. Maybe they’ll upgrade to a PS5 controller. That’ll fix everything, I’m sure.

If Ohio man’s contraption goes the way of that other submersible, he may not have time to fully realize his mistake.

“Mr. Stora, an occasional fringe political candidate, has featured provocative images of young women on his Instagram account and has pictures of himself standing in front of a “Trump: Make America Great Again” sign.”

He’s run for office a few times & says he’s currently running.

Edit:

Interesting campaign contributions report.

Storm in a toilet bowl
Finland’s Finance Minister and leader of the Finns Party Riikka Purra finds herself at the centre of another brewing racism storm on Thursday morning.

Purra made international headlines last year just weeks after leading her party into government when racist and violent comments she wrote on a blog some 15 years previously suddenly resurfaced.

Fast forward to this week, and tabloid Iltalehti writes that Purra has weighed in on a report by Yle that an Adult Education Centre in Espoo provided pictorial instructions to its students about how to sit correctly on a toilet seat.

While the signs could be considered quite patronising to foreign students, a spokesperson for the school told Yle that they are necessary because some of the students in basic education classes are illiterate or can only read in their own mother tongue, citing Arabic as an example.

Taking to social media platform X, Purra quoted a line from the article about how the use of the signs “encapsulates something essential about our time”.

This was clearly something that struck a chord with Finland’s finance minister and deputy PM, as she added in her post: “Yes, it really does.”

Although it wasn’t immediately clear what she meant, IL writes that many X users responded to her post by noting the underlying tone of racism.

Purra, noticing her comment had caused a little confusion and a lot of criticism, decided to clarify matters, writing in another X post that the toilet signage was not what bothered her the most.

“It’s the idea that attracting mainly uneducated mass migrants from developing countries, funded by the taxpayer, is somehow useful for us, even necessary,” Purra wrote.

All that’s missing is calling them “shithole countries.” Fascists are not uniquely an American problem. This needs to be seen as a worldwide issue.
