And the current POTUS, a coward who dodged service in Vietnam thinks these sacrifices weren’t helpful? IMO he can eat a dick. 2/2

So apparently, non-USA troops didn’t “help” in Afghanistan? I know Canadian soldiers who served—and died there. I remember the Americans had to fundraise for body armour for their soldiers, and I remember Canadians provided such item to them. 1/2

Y’know, I kinda like the idea of a Trump-class BB; this way, when the MIC pisses away their budget on that white elephant they won’t have the money to invade Canada. Hell, they couldn’t afford to take Greenland at that rate. You hate to see it. 🤣

So I was at Fair’s Fair warehouse in #yyc today and found a 2nd hand copy of #tincancanucks signed by the author (me😁) on the shelf. That it was going for $9–1/2 the cover $—says something about its resale $ I guess; but at least 1 more person will get a chance to read it now!

How is it that we’re only a couple weeks away from a third of the year being over already? And at the same time it feels like the last three months have lasted FOREVER. #fml 🤦‍♂️

We can argue about nuances but at the heart of #socialist #ideals should be this: we believe people should be able to survive regardless of their financial circumstances. I’d go so far as say people should be comfortable no matter their financial circumstances.

I find it beyond believable that after years of the Conservatives hammering Chrystia Freeland, day after day, year after year, some of them have the gall to now come out and say they respect her, they support her. 🤮🤮🤮🤮 #cdnpoli #peipoli

Love the Daring-class silhouette 👍

Ukraine strikes Russian air base with ATACMS missiles crippling aircraft repair capabilities Ukrainian forces launched six ATACMS missiles at a strategic air base, destroying an aircraft repair facility that supports critical A50 early warning planes

Just finished reading this. It's a damning article where neither the hospital nor the doctor it dismissed come off looking good. What I find most disturbing through is this cult of personality Weiner fostered about himself & weaponized against the hospital & his colleagues. Deeply unethical IMO.

#OTD in 1951 #HMCSFraser was laid down at Burrard Drydock in North #YVR. Commissioned in 1957 she served the #RCN until 1994. Last of the St. Lawrence class, the next ship to bear the name will be the first of Canada’s new River-class destroyers in the 2030s #TinCanCanucks #NavalHistory

Sometimes I think “there’s nothing wrong with being paranoid “ and then I wonder who beamed that thought into my head 😂

I just drove by a restaurant names “Happy Lamb Hot Pot”. I’m unable to conceive of a reality where the lamb in that restaurant is happy with any expected outcome 😁

#OTD in 1914 VAdm. Sturdee’s squadron seeking von Spee’s raiders were found by them instead, as Spee saw the Falkland Is. Realizing he was outgunned he made for open sea. The British gave chase & sank every German warship but one, Dresden. #HMSGlasgow, Coronel survivor sank Leipzig. #Falklands110

Happy 45th anniversary to the premiere of Star Trek: The Motion Picture today. It was and still is an inspirational glimpse of a future for me.

I absolutely HATE fiddly masking, especially around deck fittings. MOST especially when, despite all the care and attention in the world paint leaks under or the mask or the mask lifts up just enough to allow under spray. 🤬 It’s my idea of #scalemodeling hell 😈

We often think our animal friends act on instinct and don’t ’think’ when it comes to their actions. Yet there’s a significant number of people who we say ‘think’ but their actions are purely instinctive. I think we may owe the animal kingdom an apology.

As Pierre Poilievre mimics and supports Donald Trump and his talking points, remember this. We are on the edge. One election away from this slippery slope. #cdnpoli #peipoli

Some of my Babylon 5 art. Enjoy. #scifi #SciFiArt #fanart #Babylon5

Yesterday. was a great day, the best day since February 24, 2022. Yesterday was the beginning of the end of Putin. Putin's effort in Syria was his glamor project, the centerpiece of his carefully cultivated illusion of Russian inevitability and irresistible power. Now that is smashed

Despite the artwork I’m sort of getting Chris Farley vibes from this one 😂

The Ukrainian sky looks lovely with F-16s in it. According to President Zelenskyy, Denmark has sent the second shipment of F-16 planes to Ukraine. Thank you, Denmark! Thanks to the support of partners like you, our skies will be safer.

These are brilliant 👍

The 1/144 Kilo is painted & ready for weathering. I love weathering (narrator: he hates weathering, especially ships). And you might have seen the little guy prowling the background. He’s a 1/200 Bronco Kilo and a WAY nicer kit to work on. #modelwarship #modelsubmarine #histscalemodels #scalemodels

There’s no such thing as working productively with MAGA nihilists like Elon, Vivek and RFK, Jr. They want to bring down our Republic. Don’t normalize them by pointing out a few of their good ideas. You can’t play nice with the leopards. Let them into your house and they will eat your face.

These are just stunning
