Good morning #TeslaTakedown folks. Here is Step 1 in taking on Canadian businesses doing business with #ICE. We are asking Canadians to contact their Member of Parliament and the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology to investigate these company’s contracts.

On why you should give Avi Lewis a chance and sign up for the NDP before January 28th. I need the Layton-era leftists to listen the most. #cdnpoli #Canadasky #hope 🍊

I have David Crosby’s voice running on repeat in my head. At the end of CSNY’s ‘Ohio’, his cries of “How many more?” and “Why?” are resonating deeply. Apparently, he cried after that take. I get it.

Ontario Science Centre. Still doing just fine, undefeated by the weather. If it can outlast the corrupt Ford government, it can reopen.

I’m looking forward to a chorus of “not all the American Gestapo are bad people - just a few bad apples” from the democrats and “if they hadn’t shot the guy on the ground he might have got up and done something bad and he kinda looked threatening and they were in fear for their lives” from GOP.

They really expect the World Cup to go forward in the US this year, huh?

Anyone else having an insatiable urge to use the highly efficient @bluesky mute function for a few days to allow your vagal nerve some time to rest? You know what word I mean, it rhymes with “chump”… It’s not like the world would end while we have quiet time, right, right?

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

Bravo, @wikipedia.org Killing of Renee Good On January 7, 2026, a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota, shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Good. She was an American citizen and was driving a car when she was shot.

When she asked if I had any resolutions for the new year I told her my resolutions are to avoid getting sick and to avoid getting anyone else sick, and when she sighed and said that those had been my resolutions from last year I replied: I’m still working on them.

This year on Bluesky I wrote 96 posts and 927 replies. I received 3,132 likes, whereas 173 was from my most popular post, and apparently I love saying "not" and 👏🏻! www.madebyolof.com/bluesky-wrap...

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: - It’s ‘voilà,’ not ‘wallah!’ - It’s ‘a lot,’ not ‘alot.’ - It’s ‘further ado,’ not ‘farther adieu.’ - It’s ‘flesh out,’ not ‘flush out.’ - It’s ‘sneak peek,’ not ‘sneak peak.’ No worries if not!!!

“I stopped watching when Rick left.” I have died DEAD. RIP, me. 😵😂

Made the commitment that during this holiday lull, I’d focus on the being part of human vs. the doing part. Mindfully consuming chocolate chunk shortbread, while reading half a book in one day shows it is possible for me to “be” in the moment. Although, I may be practicing for ice storm fallout…

Hospitalizations are expected to require 5.7% of Canada's staffed hospital beds for three weeks (CIHI: average duration of COVID hospitalizations: www.cihi.ca/en/covid-19-...).

Infections in Canada this week are expected to result in 3,800 hospitalizations, 770 deaths (people who die at least 1 year earlier than they would without COVID) and 20,000 new long COVID cases serious enough to limit daily life activities.

WHAT'S NEW THIS WEEK? About 1 in 55 people in Canada is currently infected (521,000-683,000 infections/week). The most recent estimate for the United States (Dec 15) is 1 in 63 infected (www.pmc19.com/data/index.php).
