It was a beautiful day today. The kittens want to go out. Please.

The wingnuts (in Canada, the poili-wingnuts) are on the rise around the world. Let's hope we live to see them brought down.

Three million pages of Epstein files were released. Around the world: arrests, investigations, resignations. In the U.S.? Officials say there’s “nothing there” and the person who appears in the files the most goes unscrutinized. @gloriouslygloria.bsky.social examines the silence.

So it sounds like three horror movies topped the box office last weekend?

O🇨🇦Canada

What's particularly frighting is that half of Americans say they support at least "some" of Trump's policies. #Fascism

Meta is making a fortune from scams and fraud on their social media platforms. Umm.... is anyone surprised? www.reuters.com/investigatio...

This is what the rest of the world sees is happening in Minnesota. You might think it's hard to believe thd Trump administration is degenerating further, but there y'are. The warnings were there. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Strands #675 “Open wide” 🔵🔵🔵🟡 🔵🔵

You were warned. No one can say this is a surprise.

Happy New Year! Sci-fi has a Harry something marathon going tonight. Haven't seen such a long time there was nothing to watch...! Oh well. Murder She Wrote? Oh! MASH is on History Channel!! 📺 Fight war and hate at the same time!

Wow. I don't go back to Twitter very often, but when I do I'm surprised by the hate that seeps into almost every tweet. But even more: how much people seem to enjoy it. Twitter illustrates Christianity's "sin nature" perfectly.

I've never heard Trump called a "victim" before. #EpsteinFiles #Epstein #Trump

Let's watch as religious zealots take over the country south of Canada and destroy what was once a powerful nation. Republicans wonder why conspiracy theories are so strong on the right. It's because they're continually rewriting their own history. www.milwaukeeindependent.com/heather-rich...

I admit to a certain irony in Trump renaming the Kennedy Performing Arts Centre after himself. I mean, no other president has been quite so successful "performing" for his cadre of Americans. One more president's legacy has been kicked by this administration. www.bbc.com/news/article...

"This is a safe space to have courage" is frankly ridiculous. We are in a dangerous time. Cowardice is a moral failing. Be brave and stand up for the marginalized even though it is dangerous, hard, and carries personal cost, or stop thinking of yourself as a good person.

We have our TV on most of the day for background noise. There are a few voices that, when I hear them, I will actively go downstairs to turn the channel. This is one of those voices.

When has it ever been about anyone else? I hope Americans wake up soon. #Trump

Poor #PierrePoilievre. He just can't can't see the problems with his populist style of leadership. He's got to blame anyone else when his colleagues reject him and the party. Beware, Canada. We see his style of leadership playing out south of the border. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Donald Trump said he would fix the economy on day 1 of his second term. Six weeks later he said the economy was still in transition. A year later, he's still blaming Biden. Lots of promises, few of them kept. Better watch, Canada. #PierrePoilievre is just like Trump. www.cnn.com/2025/12/09/p...

A perfect response to #TDS

The push to bring people "back to work" is increasing emissions related to transportation... and not insignificantly. The rich and the elite are causing climate change, trying to control the rest of us. www.thestar.com/news/gta/dou...

This is post-neoconservatism. Otherwise known as nationalism, or protectionism. Trump desperately trying to protect his ideology from reality. 🙄

We had boiled turnip with cornbread tonight. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it was really good.

A con man will continue as long as there are marks he can con.

Smoke's Queen of the World!

Where can I get a job where I only have to work 51 days a year, and get paid $157,000? That's about $3,000 / day. I think see some #RedTapeChallenge that could be a lot more effective. If only those elected bureaucrats would actually work. #ONpoli #Ontario

Someone doesn't actually understand "masculinity". www.commondreams.org/news/joe-lon...

I know which side I think Canada should be on. Americans should not be surprised. This has been building for decades.

Typical. In Arkansas (and I lived there for a decade), Republicans don't think about the implications of their actions. They just want to look powerful. Strangely, they rarely achieve their aims. There is a reason I left that state.

#PierrePoilievre claims he is the only Canadian leader who is fighting for affordability. Yet so many of his strategies follow populist ideals. His policies will make the rich richer, and the poor (or the not-so-rich)... well, look at the US. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Canadian housing issues can be solved by factory built homes. These can be cheaper and more sustainable than building on-site, reducing waste significantly. We can solve our problems. We need to be flexible in our approach. dailyhive.com/vancouver/ca...

Homes are no longer affordable in Canada. And least not for those of us who are not rich. Home ownership has become a dream. Some can't even afford to rent. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

A good Wordle day! Wordle 1,631 2/6 ⬛🟩🟩🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Happy December! I got an Advent Calendar this year... of Chistmas socks. They are great!

And those "others" will not forget.

It's the first Sunday of Advent. "...the wolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the young goat, And the calf and the young lion and the fattened steer will be together; And a child will lead them." Remember.

I'm older than the Grinch! Oh well. 😉🤣

Canadian national Conservatives are trying to establish a new image under Pierre Poilievre. Maybe they should try looking less like they're trying to copy Donald Trump. Too bad that'll be so hard under PP. Or try caring more about voters than about maximizing profit. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I smell pizza. Must be Friday.

Today's was work. Wordle 1,622 5/6 🟩⬛🟨⬛🟨 🟩⬛⬛🟨⬛ 🟩🟩⬛🟩⬛ 🟩🟩⬛🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Not surprised. It's not like they didn't know this wsd going to happen...! 🤷‍♂️

This is one of the reasons i have never worn a cross. Too many people wear them who don't mean it.

A good mom always has snacks.

Doing Wordle on the train this morning. Today was two guesses. Yes! Wordle 1,620 2/6 ⬛🟨⬛⬛🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
