And here we are..

Good question. Goodnight.

Poilievre’s broken slogan generator to blame as he vows to “Dink the Rink” and “Slime the Grime” www.thebeaverton.com/2025/03/poil...

Media: Why are you not allowing any media access during the election campaign? Pierre: How many? Media: What? Pierre: I repeat. How many? Media: Hunh? Pierre: Precisely my point. Media: What are you even talking about right now? Pierre: Stop attacking me! Media: Pierre: *eats apple loudly*

Good morning, heathens.☕️☕️

Today's Wordle should please @zzyzx.bsky.social!

an appropriate day to finish A Compendium of Irish Pints by @alidunworth.bsky.social and to also start Filthy Queens by @braciatrix.bsky.social The Bluesky algorithm sent me a post by Dr Wade a while back & I ordered her book right away & noticed the Compendium by the same publisher. Slainte!

Just because you *can* have green beer today, doesn't mean you should. In fact, you shouldn't. DON'T DO IT!

I don't see how Canada can negotiate in good faith with Trump based on the demands he makes, for four verifiable reasons: he repeatedly makes false claims, he moves the yardsticks to cause more chaos and harm, he threatens our sovereignty, and he breaks agreements at his convenience. ...

Interesting use of “physically” as a modifier word.

in slightly-early honour of St Patricks Day, I will once again remind the world of the time Amazon united Ireland (and apologized for the Troubles), still one of my favourite moments on twitter

With the tradewars it might be time for canadians to take up victory gardens agian. #canada #tariffs #victorygardens

Interviewer: "How do you explain these gaps in your resume?" Me: "The space bar and enter key, mostly."

In 2013, the great Robin Williams apparently described Canada relative to the United States as “a really nice apartment over a meth lab." I miss the meth lab. Trump and Musk’s USA makes a meth lab seem like a Nordic spa.

"The CIA has worked to destabilize many governments and nations in the past, using methods as mundane as corruption and as drastic as assassination, but a campaign aimed at Canada would likely rely less on cloak-and-dagger tactics and more on social media — such as the Elon Musk-owned X platform."

So what does Poilievre do now that Carney is going to be PM? He's built his platform on Axe the Tax and picking on Trudeau. It's a reminder of a very basic tenet of life. You can't define yourself as an opposition. It begs the question of what were you before that thing, and what are you without it?

And those lakes? Drawn by some jerk.

People are changing the labels on Wayne G's wine: "a merlot that is sad and 2 faced" "as weak as the name-sakes moral fibre." There is a reason why Canadians dominate comedy - we are wickedly funny. And when push comes to shove we play for keeps (ie. Kharmalov's ankle). Sucks to be you Wayne.

Trump needs to stop these tariffs for the sole reason that people are starting to believe that Doug Ford is a good leader, and I cannot have that

What's good for the goose...

Kind of wild that a band like Tool couldn’t come up with 20 different songs to play over 2 nights. Sounds like the fans that went are BIG mad. We all give our favorite band shit but what they do on a nightly is extremely difficult. consequence-net.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/conseque...

Don’t know who to credit for this, but it’s pretty good.

“Give us a call when the fever ends, You used to be the best of friends, We used to be the best of friends…” The great Jim Cuddy has written a song for this moment.

The convoy crew held the people of Ottawa hostage and tried to divide people with rage politics. No wonder they are freaked out by Canadian solidarity and goodwill. They promote bitterness. We stand for a better nation. #elbowsup my friends Canada is strong.

“…a political scientist at Harvard has studied over 300 modern uprisings worldwide & found that change usually becomes inevitable when just 3.5% of a population join a movement.” “There are typically far more people who sympathize with movements than people who actively participate in them.”

I'll give Donald Trump this much, he's managed to unite Canadians under a banner of righteous anger so efficiently that Pierre Poilievre must be taking notes and weeping with jealousy

Please stop asking me if I want to stay logged in if you’re not going to keep me logged in.

Have listened to the new Sierra Hull (it rules...duh), the only other things I've seen on a brief scan of new releases that I'd prioritize are Jason Isbell and Bob Mould. What else came out today that I should put ears on?

I see tomorrow is Friday. Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day? Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else? I just can’t keep track.

new saddest six word story just dropped

What a front cover...

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

Trump unable to keep tariffs up, blames alcohol

I'm finding all this nationalism stuff a little uncomfortable, but I guess it's necessary to help keep our heads up. This is good entertainment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Lzh...

Canadian PM, Justin Trudeau, in a masterclass speech on how to speak to a bully. Well said, Justin. Doubt Donald is listening, but we are. Australians stand with Canadians 🇦🇺🇨🇦.

Let this sink in.

The largest purchaser of wine is the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. The shelves of Kentucky whiskey, American beer and California wine are now empty. The LCOBO was doing a brisk business - good news for Canadian, French, Spanish, Australian, Chilean. Sucks for Kentucky and California.

Ford has announced Ontario will no longer be in business with Elon Musk. He said this weeks ago, then changed his mind, so let's hope he fucking means it this time.

Everything about Donald Trump fucking sucks, but many of us like to call him orange, orangutan, Cheetos, etc., which is all amusing, but his bad fake tan (there are no good fake tans, to be clear) is by far his best quality. 1/2
