Once again; the camera is always on, the mic is always live. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Grownups write full paragraphs rather than the two to three sentence paras the Sun and the Post pundits use to make you feel like a four-year-old being told something in a patient but firm voice. Right?

Hear me out; a remake where MAGA boomers try to get to Trump at the inauguration. Keep the dialogue as-is, just replace any Beatles reference to Trump or his cabinet members. Incidentally, at the end they all get sent to El Salvador. Profits go to AARP and food banks anywhere in America.

Hegseth’s Pentagon make-up studio has clearly cleaned the old boy up, but I think it’s given him an alarming level of self-confidence.

...no notes.

Ordinary Papal.

Given the level of sulking in the Post and the Sun op eds, it’s looking like Carney’s internal polling numbers have leaked.

Assorted performers from the Write On, Write Now open mic at Hamilton’s Centre for Talking Arts: Jen Frankel, Faye Pollett, Dexter Ico.

Next Friday, I'm hosting an Open Mic Storytelling Night at Hamilton's Centre For Talking Arts where the topic is "Thanks, but no thanks" and it's all about that time you graciously (or ungraciously) declined an offer. Message me if interested, I'll secure a spot on the roster for the faithful.

A film that takes place where you’re you’re from.

"Okay, sure. But think of all the money you'll save not-buying vaccines 'cuz I've outlawed them!" - RFK Junior, probably, in a week or so

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.
