@GodEmperorDune Yeah, who told him is a big question!
Just now, Reuters has published a story largely confirming the Guardian’s scoop, saying that Ecuador tried to name Assange (who now holds Ecuadorean nationality) to the Latin American nation’s Embassy in Moscow. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ecuador-assange-exclusive/exclusive-ecuador-attempted-to-give-assange-diplomat-post-in-russia-document-idUSKCN1M12R5

Sean Hannity on Rosenstein: "I have a message for the president tonight. Under zero circumstances should the president fire anybody. These actors, tonight, and I have multiple sources confirming this ... it is all a set up" https://t.co/xAjHLcfDh3

@TimStone qanon got to him
@TimStone realistically, i think one faction is "oh shit mueller is gonna find my crimes" and another faction is "oh shit messing with mueller might get trump impeached and then i'll lose my access to the presidency"
hannity has to know that no other president is gonna bring him on conference calls and such
probably same for the large adult sons

Good god. Trump's former communications director got his mistress pregnant, and when he found out, he spiked her drink with mifepristone and aborted her pregnancy without her consent. Republicans are woman-abusing, sexual psychopaths. https://trib.al/iUKhtn1

> We also know the identity of the ‘Jane Doe’ referenced in the filing, have located her, and Mr. Miller is absolutely certain that he does not know her, never had a relationship with her…
Well that certainly doesn't make sense
"He never did that but we had to discover this unknown woman's name and track her down to be sure"

@TimStone jesus wtf
in somewhat less awful news, this is a long form article about fatness, how it is orthogonal to health, and how shaming fat people makes things worse for them and does not at all help them lose weight
This is an issue I've been obsessed with since I was a kid and I finally got to write a big long feature about it https://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/everything-you-know-about-obesity-is-wrong/

it is full of feels
the most interesting point i found from this is here:
> The most effective health interventions aren't actually health interventions—they are policies that ease the hardship of poverty and free up time for movement and play and parenting.

What's really weird (to me) is that the French version isn't even the same song 🤔
Also I know it's a Tennyson reference and "true"-loyal not "true"-fact but the true north makes me giggle like Americans were all "Ah, we're north" and the Canadians clapped back with "you ain't seen shit"

@TimStone I know and when people don't wanna sing the God bits they just swap to French and that's a weird discord

He's the one who said that the committee definitely had zero knowledge of Whelan's "big plan", a very believable statement now

To be clear I wasn't the one that wanted an abortion, it was the writer of the article
Just in case there was any confusion
> Why, then, didn’t I want to be pregnant? I don’t believe anyone needs to justify this. But I am going to explain.
Emphasis mine. I absolutely love that, and it echoes strong with me.
Not the "I don't wanna be pregnant" part obviously
but just the general idea of not wanting kids, or anymore kids et cetera
I don't want kids. Just a whole lot of responsibility I personally don't want to take on, but you definitely get the pressure that you're expected to have kids. Someone once called me selfish for not wanting children. People suck.
Anyways, that's just an aside, but the article is a good read

Like here we do have trouble sometimes with people getting access to the abortion pill (well actually it's more than one pill but that's semantics)
 
user15026
but we have the ability to access it, OHIP covers it
 
user15026
(and a local sexual health clinic is working to be able to provide it themselves instead of having to find you a specific doctor somewhere that can do it, as often that means going to Toronto)

It seems like a large part of NS problems is just our Doctor shortage too, which is a whole other kettle of fish
Basically NS has issues with abortions already, but the doctor shortage just compounds it
 
user15026
nods That likely adds to it in a large way
