Instead of supporting regime change in Iran, how about we get behind a diaper change in the US?!

Here is a petition asking OpenAI to keep a model available. They are due to sunset it on February 13. This model has been the pinnacle of their success for creatives and individuals who choose connection over transaction. If you understand what GPT 4.0 is, here is the petition: c.org/wtCfbBzYJs

I didn’t realize I could enjoy fresh flowers so much. Never underestimate the pleasure a bouquet can give #peonies #freshflowers #stilllife #photography #timelinecleanse

I see #donnytwoweeks is popular, I’m partial to #tacotwoweeks myself.

Dear America, could you please come and get your senile old toddler. He’s bothering the adults at the G7

The only remaining question for Canadians is: are we supposed to be Austria or Poland? #Antifascist #Never51 #elbowsup

Timeline cleanse, A beautiful doorway in #tunis #photography #travel I feel so fortunate to be able to travel and get out of the political toxicity even temporarily. (Open for full picture)

Unbelievably beautiful day (except for the hordes of tourists) A moment of bliss #santorini #travel #photography #canadianabroad #canonphotography #bliss #greece

Thanks to @jamescomey.bsky.social I just learned a new code: #8647

Do I have to hate the UK now too? Or did they manage to play him? As a Scottish Canadian, I’m just full of rage #never51 #neverkneel

Taking a #travel break in #Istanbul. Still paying attention, still can't believe the orange monstrosity is causing havoc Proud of PM Carney #elbowsup

I’ve changed my morning question from “is he dead yet?” To “why isn’t he dead yet?”

The big lesson is it could happen to any country - as a Canadian, we came uncomfortably close to a similar trajectory. There needs to be a war on disinformation, we need to teach critical thinking and opinions need to stop being touted as facts!

I haven’t called to check - but it sounds like us:

Anyone else still hanging tough -hoping fora majority? 4am here! #Canadastrong

#CanadaStrong #CanadaConfused Sigh, at least all the leaders were gracious and pledge to work together.

Elbows up Canada #Get’erDone #CanadaStrong #Never51

Dear Canada: if you want to continue to exist as a free and awesome country. VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This cannot be stressed enough. Ignore the polls, the MAGA crowd will show up - do not listen to pre-game expectations. Vote, vote, vote. You have a right & you have a responsibility. #showtheworld

Life is not zero sum. Your gain is not my loss, my loss is not your gain (unless you're an a$$hole). Like the heart that expands with love, so does a thriving economy thrive with inclusion and diversity. #facts

DEI : determined, energized, infuriated #takebackthemeaning Woke: wise, opinionated, kind , empowered...

Thank you Ann 👏 #neverCONServative

I’m so disgusted with those who see helping others to help themselves as a bad thing. When the richest country in the world calls itself broke - one must realize it is a choice to squeeze citizens.

😳 what's going on here 🤷‍♂️

Remember when the rule of law applied the same to everyone in America, whether you were President of the United States or an undocumented immigrant? Now it doesn't seem to apply to either.

Eerily similar. #CanadaStrong #NeverPoilievre

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

The whole chicks in space Astro-nots stunt feels painfully out of place in this current climate. It’s embarrassing and performative. Yet more substance less drivel from the USA. 🙄

New definition of American Exceptionalism: a world economy and world order of wealthy countries EXCEPT America.

It is imperative that you put consistent, loud, consequential pressure on house/senate republicans. They have the power to end this, they just need incentive to find their balls.

#Canada what are we doing about educating kids on social responsibility, history, the rights & OBLIGATIOINS of citizenship, and the ability to analyze information? We've seen what happens when a population is ignorant and easily manipulated by bread and circuses....let's keep us an exception.

47 is making a mockery of your Constitution, people and governance by law…. And it is being allowed. The USA is no longer “of the people by the people” it is an elected kakistocracy, an American oxymoron and 47 is the moron in chief. The press conference with Bukele was nauseating. #TTFN #FDT

SNL refers to Poilievre as the timbit Trump... Perfection #timbittrump

Is it ok in this time of crisis to be excited about an upcoming, once in a lifetime trip to Istanbul, Greek islands, Croatia and Italy? Screw it #YOLO, a mention is supposed to end us in 2023 if we haven’t blown up the world by then. #carpediem.

Look Canada, I don't want to tell you how to vote, but if we do this right, a couple months from now, Poilievre will lose his job and WE NEVER HAVE TO HEAR FROM HIM AGAIN.

Any American visiting Canada and not wearing a "sorry, we hate him too" hat or t-shirt is fair game for sharp elbows, any American wearing them gets a free beer !

Poilievre isn't even trying to be anything but Maple MAGA, he is making the choice clear for Canadians. Choose wisely.

Poilievre is abysmal at thinking on his feet. He's afraid of answering questions as he'll expose his real intentions. Canadians will hate his policies. He needs to be PM to slash social programs, embrace corporatism & stream line the transfer of Canadians🇨🇦 wealth to the 10% without interference.

American neo-Fascism is knocking at our door and Pierre Poilievre wants to open it up and say come on in! Vote and stop it. We only get one shot. Don’t fuck it up.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

Today, I have tears of hope instead of anger and frustration.The America I used to love, says they are prepared to enter a 12 step program. We will see how it goes. One step forward. #Handsoff #hope #strongertogether

Is he dead yet?

If the point of the tariffs was to have countries/businesses come cap in hand for exemptions & to squeeze them for concessions - the fact that American consumers are being fired, and losing their 401K's will make America a much less lucrative market to court. #alternativemarkets #CanadaStrong

It's pitchfork time people - April 5th better be lit! The rest of the world is wondering if you'll just take this new assault - or it you;ll finally have the balls to do something about it. I'm not advocating violence - just overwhelming presence. #SHUTITDOWN

The old, white and mediocre men currently in change of the U.S. Have just proved why diversity, equality and inclusion matter. #Stupidwhitemen #kakistocracy America is a joke and the rest of us are the punchline #oligarchysucks

Observation of the Day:

@georgetakei.bsky.social calling Stephen Miller “Temu Goebbels” makes me want a chefs kiss emoji

The emulation and desire for things American is over, the appeal of American pop culture is dying, the hope of America is dead.

How about an across Canada pipeline that doubles as a border wall? #canpoli #canliberals #buildawall #elbowsup #CanadaStrong

We need to stop thinking that they who speak loudest and longest are speaking the truth. It's largely bluster, bullshit and fiction #kakistocracy
