Another government information service that you can no longer depend on. Better to ask Reddit before traveling places.

Last year I sprained my finger and woke up the next day to a purple mess & having to get my rings cut off. I asked them if they could use leeches so I could keep my rings uncut but no dice. I wish we’d been in Ottawa, I just found out about leech therapy here on the This Is Ottawa podcast.

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Or “… and I didn’t even have to remember the f——ng poem because they immediately started butchering innocent Ukrainian civilians on the streets and leaving their corpses on the streets for everyone to see.”

BREAKING: Foreign-born leader comes to Oval Office, dressed down in a disrespectful manner, having already received billions from America, asking for American taxpayers to keep paying him more billions, subsidizing him for years to come:

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

well, @oc-transpo.bsky.social, thanks for nothing today. After waiting for over 1/2 an hour on Crichton for the #9 Rideau, we were told by A TRANSIT SUPERVISOR that busses were running down McKay. We moved over to get this:

Moving is chaos. Add in constant nosebleeds from the dry air (me) & an angry back (Joe) and this is going to take a while. But progress is being made!

Your vote in November, for whatever reason you cast it—was loud. And if you regret that vote or if you don't consent to what you are seeing from this man and this Administration, your volume now is necessary too. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/trump-vote...

It was too cold to go out yesterday at “Feels like” -21 but a new more desperate to escape cabin fever & needing a few items meant we went out in colder (but less gusty) weather. Trust us to move back to Ottawa in time for the most snow in 20 years to thoroughly disrupt the delivery of everything.

A reminder: 1. Elon Musk's wealth is mostly in Tesla stock 2. Tesla is successful because at a key moment in 2009 the federal government gave it a $465 million loan so it could make sedans 3. Musk is now firing thousands of government workers and slashing every service ordinary people depend on

Ohmygawd, I’ve stayed on a Facebook as we’re in the middle of a move & I want access to Marketplace but it’s soooo awful! Every 3rd or 4th post is an ad and for junk I don’t need. I’ll miss my friends but can’t wait to junk it.

Housing minimums not parking minimums. We 100% know how to do this. It just takes will and leadership. Via @tomflood.bsky.social

Also deafening and shameful in their silence: our four living presidents, especially the Republican one who should have not been a total coward & endorsed Harris in October. Where are they?

First morning in Ottawa, there’s no chance of shorts on the deck with my coffee here for quite some time. Camping out until our stuff gets here, enjoying a little love in the form of a cup from a Houston friend. Still hasn’t kicked in that this isn’t a vacation from Houston but a permanent move.

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

Hey media. You know who knew they were fascist gestures? Fascists. Who are celebrating Elon doing them. Might want to include that in your media stories.

Elon Musk biographer here. The "missing context" from the op-ed below is that Musk has been spreading racist and antisemitic memes, screenshots, graphs, charts, unsourced narratives, tropes, and buzzwords for 18 months now. Publicly. Daily. The Post either knows this or should not be in business.
