This is exactly why the relationship between Canada & US is forever changed & ruined. Even if Trump goes, there's an entire establishment of Dems & Republicans who barely raised objection to so much of it. There's nothing left to trust.

In May 2026 my book with @amaramarasingam.bsky.social on the (current) history of the far-right in Canada will be released. It's been in the works since 2022 and I'm grateful for his patience and dedication. www.mqup.ca/Books/F/For-...

✨Amazing✨ "We need to have more conversations that spur us to think about if and how to agitate and intervene in the collective mechanisms of our governments, regardless of which party is in power. I am as tired writing this as you may be reading it. Yet the necessity of this work is certain."

Nice job, Sparta. #feyspa

Whales are like “can I pet that dog?” TT: Domenic Biagini

This week, us northern hemisphere folx will have made it through the darkest ten weeks of the year. The light is returning!

From a Canadian: It doesn't need to be all-or-nothing. Every single purchase redirected to domestic sources or reliable allies helps.

Denial that we live in a northern country pt XXVII: change rooms that don't have hooks. Like, come on. Don't make me quote John Ralston Saul.

Hats off to whoever did this (and the beautiful model).

tremendous news! playbill.com/article/boot...

Lots of things suck ass on both sides of the Great Lakes right now, but here’s one of the Lino cut prints I did this month.

Canadian cities: yes we could too

Absolutely besotted with this piece from 1979 by artist, Lillian Chuse (USA). I cannot find any information on the artist whatsoever, apart from the blurb about the painting here: www.portmanteaunewyork.com/art/vintage-... #ny #lillianchuse #artsky #womensart

Suddenly adding “MADE WITH REAL POTATOES” after 90 years of making potato chips has some real “not involved with human trafficking” energy

Was seeing this anniversary posted today and completely forgot until seeing Sigourney Weaver's name that she and Rickman were camped in the Rhombus Media office where I worked 20+ years ago. Was so surreal to see them both milling about every day. All the crew btw *raved* about the pie in Wawa.

I don't regularly follow hockey, but damn does Edmonton's 25/26 alt jersey look good.

I can still taste these.

Increasingly it's clearer to a lot of people what i have been saying for a while: people use "inflation" and "prices" to talk about their own difficulty making ends meet or affording big ticket items once "inflation" became a big media news story. It's not actually about CPI or even increases.

The Grand River will always be close to my heart.

Male to New Yorker / Male to Marisa Tomei

I wonder if there are any good cookbooks or recipe sites for food for people who are having trouble chewing. Mushy food, but actually good. Seems like there would be a market for this kind of thing.

A great weekend read. As with previous interviews with the likes of Wouter Kusters, it's useful to ask whether MH episodes, in a counter-intuitive way, can serve a purpose for some people.

Now's as good as ever for a new SAULT release.

Vet visit going great

This should honestly be a legal requirement for discontinued products.

You want to read a realistic presentation of what happens after the end of the world as it’s currently being drawn up? I wrote a pretty good one. You can get it most places, on e-book too, and Hoopla has it now. store.latitude46publishing.com/products/bir...

DUTCH GUY ON BLUESKY THAT POSTS ABOUT AMERICAN POLITICS ≥ 3 TIMES A DAY: You Americans should be taking up armed struggle against your government. MALCOM X'S GHOST IN HEAVEN:

No notes

I've crossed this pedestrian overpass many times, but didn't know about this history. Incredible how much pedestrian and cycling infrastructure has come into being only through political struggle.

BREAKING Irish Govt to move Grok to another parish.

I'm not a podcast listener, but there's a transcript of this with the link, and it's a *very* good discussion that I know I'm going to refer back to in the future.

The cat brought in a bird in its mouth, which proceeded to escape and fly around our home helplessly in shock. After chasing it from room to room (also helplessly in shock) we managed to get it to fly out via a sliding door. It's not even noon and it feels we have aged seven years.

Guardian headline vs small print.

There's no legal difference between kidnapping Maduro and kidnapping Mark Carney.

Um, holy crap. This looks awesome. Plus it uses Niagara Launcher, my favorite launcher. Be still my heart. techcrunch.com/2026/01/02/c...

Never realized until last year that following 'Oranje," to stay on top of the Dutch men's soccer team, would also allow me to discover a plethora of ways to denigrate the POTUS

went back and grabbed the full video of her intro. absolutely incredible 🇮🇹🍝👩‍🍳🤌🇮🇹🍝👩‍🍳🤌🇮🇹🍝👩‍🍳🤌🇮🇹🍝👩‍🍳🤌

Throughout their win vs Botswana at AFCON, a DR Congo supporter replicated the stance of Patrice Lumumba, a key figure in African and Congolese independence who was assassinated in 1961 following a joint plot between political opponents, Belgium, the US, and UK 🇨🇩

Two magazines opened for fiction submissions today, and you better bet your man Cahill was on it this morning.

When I think of that era, I think of the intense arguments over music videos by artists (are they too literal, reducing complexity of song's meaning, putting image over content). Likely still going. Anyhoo, here's the video for Billy Joel's "Pressure", directed by Russell Mulcahy:
