Why has the amount of fentanyl seized at the US border dropped by 97%? We asked the drug dealers to stop. You know … not cool. Or maybe it’s the fact that there was f&$@ all in the first place. None of Trump’s lies are difficult to debunk. Willful blindness is another issue.

Watched The Conclave last night. You’d think the Roman Catholic hierarchy, and the time and effort required to have a pee while wearing those heavy cassocks, would have more empathy with women. But … nope.

I fixed a snow shovel today by disassembling two broken ones, and then sanding, screwing, and pounding disparate pieces together to make a new better snow shovel. A Canadian Heritage Moment. And a Red Green episode for anyone over 60.

Happy March! Headlines I expect to see? Trump Buys Russian Arms “They’ve done really good things in Ukraine.” Measles Wipes Out Texas “We’ve saved like never before on vaccines.” Executive Order Changes Oath of Allegiance “An oath to me would be the greatest oath of all time.”

X? I’m out. Instagram? Forget it. Amazon? Gone. Perhaps a nice California Cab Sauv with dinner? Not a chance.

Macron and Starmer show up and kiss Trump's orange ass. Zelensky has integrity. The contrast is striking and the whole world can see it. It's time for everyone to stand up to this demagogue.

Dear American Friends; Your President, today more than ever, has proven himself to be an absolute dick, an asshole, a bully, a liar, a cheat, an egotist, a piece of shit as he puts My Zelenski through a public wringer. Why did you do this? Ukraine is the first line of your defense. Shocking.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

When I discover that I have written in a novel something strongly supported in the historical record as plausible, I make a sound. "OoooooooOh." #amwriting #writingcommunity #amwritinghistory

For the record, this is nothing to do with me. Aside from anything else, that lettering is a travesty, the ‘i’s all have serifs. Ugh.
