As the USA postures for Israel and Trump keeps hold of the Epstein Files, Iran prepares for nuclear war. The rest of us can only watch.

Just me, being dramatic. #weekdfordramatic #alphabetchallenge

What????

Long range acoustic device. Another horrifying new weapon.

Fair criticism from a smart MP who currently enjoys a key role in which party governs Canada.

France announced today it’s phasing out Teams, Zoom, etc. to be replaced with a French/European solution called Visio. The data is hosted on Outscale. Transcripts and subtitles are also handled by French providers. The target is set on 2027 for government agencies.

We see where Apple stands.

Odd. I would have thought this type of exercise would have been at the least, suspended. #canada www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

A dramatic view, maybe more so now than when the photo was taken several years ago. #weekdfordramatic #alphabetchallenge

Watch Pretty Woman instead. The hooker in that is a good human.

Good Canadians... New boycott target

I wonder if it bothers Trump that he’s the ONLY president who never won an election against a man.

Here we go again! Export fuck-up time.

[Majel Barrett voice] Structural integrity field at 7%. Failure imminent.

When you look for things, look for the good as well as the bad. There are good people doing their best to alleviate suffering. These people are putting it on the line for someone else. Good people are acting, don't diminish this. The sun will shine again, you must have hope.

Bob Rae on Doug Ford: "He's getting all agitated about [Chinese EVs] and not getting agitated enough about what his former buddy Donald is doing to the industry... the real challenge we're having is with the United States on cars it's not with China."

A little bit of #lichen in my life, a little bit of #moss on the side. #weekcforcloseup #alphabetchallenge

Two Crows 🐦‍⬛ having a great time rolling in the snow ❄️

As a speechwriter I can tell you this was 💯 #MarkCarney . If you listen to his speeches before becoming a politician no one else sees world in those dimensions and can explain it in short memorable sentences. He’s brilliant, factual, brutal and oddly optimist. #WEF26 #WEFDavos

Thick trunk, thicker branch. #thicktrunktuesday

Canada stands ready

Why use the word “provocative”? Canada is responding to provocation, not creating a problem!! www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I hope this landed. (looking at you, UK)

As I explained to a US colleague, they did not corner the market on greedy, dim folks.

The first two times I posted this essay about why I am a proud Canadian, and a proud Albertan, so many people tried to read it all at once that it crashed the @albertaviews.bsky.social website! But in light of recent news, I felt compelled to post it again. #Alberta #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg #Canada

Each year, I record every flower in my garden. #flowers #bloomscrolling #weekcforcloseup #alphabetchallenge

Please do not refer to this "Board of Peace" as a UN-like entity. It is a Mar-a-Lago Club / Rose Garden Club inspired membership with ONE person collecting fees, ONE person being in charge with neither citizens nor leaders having ANY say about anything. Let's keep our heads on a swivel. Please.

Choosing to do 2026 on hard mode was a choice.

Even the kids get it.

On MLK Day, we reflect on the power of justice and equality, for people, for wildlife, for our planet. Every creature deserves a chance to thrive. 🌎🐺 “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

Cops at her front door, holding a phone to her face, asking if that's her Facebook account. What the fuck are we doing here?

Apologies for the solipsism of this observation, but ever since I uncovered this story about Mlot-Mroz's 1968 stunt I've been haunted by the fact that it happened on the day I was born. We've always been at war with fame-seeking-millionaire-funded-sociopathic-fascists-gaming-the-media.

Queen for a day. #fungifriends #weekcforcloseup #alphabetchallenge

Introduce yourself with five concerts you’ve seen. #MusicSky Honest truth, these five and more were at a single festival in Pemberton BC in 2008. 1 NIN 2 Jay-Z 3 Tom Petty 4 Coldplay 5 Tragically Hip

Kinda sucks that the first thing everyone wants to know when you're born is how much you weigh

Breaking news, first time in decades. Bus home from work smelled like beer today instead of weed. Like glimpsing a species made endangered by some new, disturbance-tolerant competitor

Affectionate only on her terms and timing. Also likes window seats. I believe that qualifies her for honorary #caturday status.
