I’m very surprised to read this because the reason you gave for rejecting the panel I proposed on medieval and early modern Ireland in a British history context was that there was not enough space. I am sad that this apparently means that premodern is not included in the conversation.

"Shortly after becoming CEO of a cash-strapped Tesla in 2008, Musk fought hard to secure a low-interest loan from the Energy Department...holding daily briefings with company executives about the paperwork and spending hours with a government loan officer." And now he hates government.

My 17yo daughter has just been explaining to me the concept of "first time cool" in which dweeby people finally get status and then behave like a master race because they can't bear to be dragged back to their prior, humiliating state. It explains the behaviour of Musk and Zuckerberg, also Vance.

This moment is going in the history books as the moment the US became irrelevant as a global power and ushered in the start of world war 3. Zelenskyy exposed the traitors.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Now that Ford is premier again, and there's nothing we can do to change that, Ontarians must now put all their energy towards pressuring him to rip up the $100 million contract with StarLink. Elon Musk is a threat to democracy and we should NOT be in business with him!

You know what type of people a $5 million "Gold Card" for US citizenship will attract? Successful criminals and state-sponsored spies. Well done, Donald, after years of accusing Democrats of using immigration to bring unsavory people to the US, you prove that you were, once again, just projecting.

Our Human Rights Commissioner is a real one. With this one statement she cut Bonnie Henry to the bone; implying that lifting the mask mandates in schools in 2022 wasn't based on science or risk. She was right, it wasn't.

Dr. Kelly Brunt wasn’t the only federal employee to be laid off this month. But she was almost certainly the only one who was in Antarctica. The NSF has fired workers at the office that manages polar research reducing US presence at the poles. 🎁 article: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/c...

Craig Strong recently installed a new, more efficient grain dryer on his farm; it was supposed to be funded, in part, by a federal program to reduce the need for fossil fuels in rural communities. Now, he and other farmers aren't sure they'll be paid back. (via @wskg.bsky.social)

“I’m wearing it as a public figure, to give permission to everyone else who needs or wants to mask…to remind everyone else that this thing isn’t done with us yet. So, if the sight of me, in my mask, makes you angry or uncomfortable? Perhaps, instead of making fun of me, you should ask yourself why”

If you want to know a reason Canada is culturally different from the U.S.? Here are our two biggest national heroes: 1. Terry Fox, a 22-year-old kid with cancer -- and an amputee -- who ran halfway across the country in 1980 to raise money to beat that goddamn disease. 2. This guy.
