FEMA Chief of Staff Scott Curtis shares with The Bulwark’s Sam Stein how he was misled, betrayed, and abruptly FIRED after taking Trump’s “deferred resignation” deal. Subsequent to the video being posted, he was rehired. 🙄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxxC...

Enjoy Jonathan V. Last doing the “crotch-chop” and trashing former Sunbeam CEO Al Dunlop (aka “Chainsaw Al”) as a metaphorical parallel to Elon Musk’s performance the other day at CPAC. BTW, Wiki “Sunbeam Products” for a fascinating dive into US corporate history… www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f7a...

Let’s have an Australian (ABC news presenter Matt Bevin, in this case) explain and crack on about what the fucking hell is going on at the moment with the US government (if it can even be called that anymore at this point in this post-truth DOGE environment). www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG9p...

A local pigeon hangout. They used to mostly congregate next door at the Scotia Bank building, but have recently shifted to inhabiting a neighboring (now largely abandoned structure – devoid of office drones commuting to the city & absent retail opportunity) on Yates Street. Modern-day augury?

Call me cynical, but I’m imagining not much good is happening inside this building…

Hey, did you know that Robert Frost was once an execrable poet? Marvellous wordplay here by James Parker @ “The Atlantic” exploring the fascinating world & backstory of this now-suddenly-interesting icon from old school textbooks we were forced to “analyze” back in the day. tinyurl.com/3264spnr

Mary Trump has a lot to say and no fucks to give. Worth watching just for the helium-infused version of clips of her uncle Donald’s insane blathering. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNUD...

Canadians of a certain age may remember the “Who’s Who in the Hinterland” series of PSAs that were produced by Environment Canada Wildlife Service and the National Film Board of Canada back in the 1960s and 70s… In that vein, meet the Cockwomble... here shown in his native habitat.
