A sitting president is lying on national television after tanking an economy in 24 hours and dangling WWIII in front of the press, and you hold a little sign? Jesus Christ almighty it’s all fucked to hell.

Since folks were so kind to respond to this, I’ll say that I’ve started keeping a “good reasons to still want to live in a society” list. It has been so helpful to show me that all those good things are still here. It’s a yes, and. We just have to fight for the good stuff. Sappy, but whatever.

'Dismantling democracy" articles will be free (not behind paywall) @timbousquet.bsky.social says. "In times of crisis, the public needs critical information quickly. Public safety and our collective well-being come first. We’ll worry about how to pay for this news operation later."

All of y’all calling this false spring are truly delusional. But maybe that’s what you need right now so that’s okay.

A little late to the game but Paul McCartney on the SNL anniversary special wearing a shaggy mullet and a vest, playing the back half of the B Side of Abbey Road, which I said was “my favourite song” for over a decade, feels deeply indulgent.

Reducing sales tax and bridge tolls is the exact type of thing that we don't need right now. And only 200M put away for a rainy day (tariff issues)? Woof.

A cool thing that has happened in the last ten years or so is that all of the Sarah MacDonalds I went to school with have changed their last names because of marriage. Now, sadly, this does not account for any older Sarah MacDonalds or any Sarah who has married and changed their name to MacDonald.

We are in the USA for a concert. My big observations so far are that Mainers skip the coat check by keeping their parkas on inside, and Maritimers just forego the coat and freeze the few blocks to the venue.

I have been watching The Pitt, which is excellent and I recommend it. What I cannot recommend, however, is how often I have been breaking out into song, singing the fake Parks and Rec band, Mouse Rat’s, similarly named single, The Pit.
