I feel sad about what America is going to face this evening. #SOTU

The grammar is unusual. Did you put apricots down in July? A cold snap is a good excuse to open a jar. Apricot jam and butter on toasted sourdough helps to push February along.

I’d like to thank the USA Men’s Hockey team for reminding us that you can win a gold medal and still be a huge loser.

"He is the worst of us, and he is inspiring the worst in men." (Please, stay and read the comment by a Canadian with almost 1,000 likes.)

It's rich to hear the Republican leader accuse other countries of "playing games" with #tariffs while arbitrarily and punitively applying them without Congressional approval. #SCOTUS has acted with conscience, and in the interests of America. 1/

Out of season strawberries, always and forever.

Employee of the month.

One of the things I find so moving about an athlete like Alysa Liu (and this spirit is not limited to gold medals) is the way we cheer together — our national identities drop away in the presence of a beautiful work of art and sport. America can be proud, and so can we all.

Four years ago, Putin launched his brutal invasion of sovereign and democratic Ukraine. The resistance of the people of Ukraine has been an example and inspiration for free people everywhere. Слава Україні! Glory to Ukraine!

Today's #PhotographyIsArt share is another shot taken on my local beach just as the sun was coming up. I can't seem to get enough of those big, big, skies. #Wales #Llandudno #naturephotography

This is a beautiful house, but in almost fifteen minutes there's not a single image of the kitchen.

Stellar reporting, @onthemedia.bsky.social

This was a good discussion. @foreignaffairs.com

@spocksky.bsky.social Thank you for speaking to the generational differences in what "normal" means. A critical part of the current discussion is intergenerational.

Will #tariffs collected from Canada factor into #CUSMA negotiations? #SCOTUS

Now that the Supremes have humiliated Trump, it’s time to invade the Falkland Islands, I mean, bomb Iran.

SCOTUS just broke POTUS.

Countries around the globe today are sharing a feeling of relief. We might (heavy emphasis) be at a point where competent and professional adults will negotiate international trade deals. #SCOTUS

SCOTUS has delegitimized a key pillar of the financial plan. No doubt there will be retaliation, but daily we are hearing of successful legal actions against the administration. They are losing, and today, the Republican Party is weaker. 🇨🇦

This looks fantastic

This woman made something beautiful.

My mom has been scammed again online. I try my hardest to keep her safe. Today, she's having big problems and when I ask if she did anything in the last few days at first she tells me no, and then a little while later she remembers a malware update she did that required her credit card number. 1/

I sent a letter on December 20, 2025 to Prime Minister Mark Carney on affordability, food bank use, and the Competition Bureau's Retail Grocery Market Study. Today, I sent another letter to Ms. Jeanne Pratt, the Acting Commissioner for the Competition Bureau, and to Minister Joly. (See Alt text.)

Meanwhile, in Republican America...

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

UK: "The law must take its course." US: The Republican leader stages an administrative cover-up aided by the DOJ. #EpsteinFiles

What I am waiting for is 2026 first quarter profit statements from Loblaws, Sobeys, and Metro. There is a relationship between consumer affordability and shareholder profit. We need diversification in the grocery sector—more independent and international grocers—to break the grip of monopolies. 1/

All of this #EpsteinFiles

That time Jesse Jackson, at the height of his political importance, visited Kahnawake to give his support to the Mohawk warriors there, during the Oka Crisis.

"It is possible I might lose everything after 20 years of work." This is devastating. It makes me sad.

I lost at the hold game.

More of the marketing plan from the geniuses in Silicon Valley. The men in tech who can't solve the problems their products create. The half measures men.

I just heard @profmmurray.bsky.social on the podcast @strictscrutiny.bsky.social refer to Pam Bondi's histrionics last week at the Epstein inquiry as, The Real Housewives of the White House.

"Influencers are now rocking up to his restaurants with suitcases full of outfit changes. It’s an “influenza-like outbreak.”

Sanna Marin, Former PM of Finland: "Ukrainians seek long-lasting, just peace, which cannot be made by Putin's terms. We fool ourselves if we believe Putin wants to negotiate peace. The only way to stop this war is to support Ukraine.
