"August 5, 2026—Washington Post Editorial Board: Monday night’s U.S. raid to arrest Canadian leader Mark Carney is the culmination of President Donald Trump’s ambitious policy to bring peace, prosperity and freedom to North America." #satire

Thought I'd check up on a friend's post from a few days ago stating very confidently that the U.S. would never invade Greenland or Canada. Oddly, I can't seem to find it.

Mark Carney turns off geolocation on phone just in case

Hypothetically, can you just slap one of these on people having loud speakerphone conversations in coffee shops and on busses?

Honestly, some people on the Parks Board won't be satisfied until Stanley Park is a Six Flags. #vancouver

I'm starting to get the emails. Reporters: please see my comments below.

The gulf between what we were trying to build in the Web 2.0 days and what ultimately emerged is galactic in scale.

Okay, once again from the top.

Why has NO ONE ELSE ever done a podcast that recaps the year's events!?!? - Poilievre's slow-motion implosion! - The Jays (nearly) won it all! - Mark Carney is Prime Minister, I guess! Available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and wherever you get your podcasts!

Razor sharp. “Clichéd in phrasing, meaningless in practice.” “Politicians and journalists in Washington are never more humbled or overwhelmed than when bragging.”

Two fronts in the disinformation war converge: fake news site publishes patently false story; Grok digests it and spews it to users as fact.

Mark Carney: comedy goldmine or colossal disappointment? OR PERHAPS BOTH? From earlier this week at Vancouver's Little Mountain Gallery. #cdnpoli #canadianpolitics #standup #markcarney

Behold my learnèd discussion of bad sex across the Canadian political spectrum. Note I make not one but TWO electoral system jokes. Thanks Sasha Mark and Blind Tiger Comedy for a great show at Little Mountain Gallery! #cdnpoli #standupcomedy

This landed hard: "Nothing is more enervating, demoralizing or hopeless than being the upholders of the proprieties of a vanquished order."

"The takedowns and restrictions began in October and targeted the Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp accounts of more than 50 organisations worldwide ... in what appears to be a growing push by Meta to limit reproductive health and queer content across its platforms."

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Last Friday of classes at UBC, so I have taken the time to give this important @anthonyfloyd.ca question some thought. I'm mostly NG.

I assume every BC newscast tonight is starting with "Okay, BUCKLE UP."

Me, after being asked to leave Chili's after having one too many happy hour margaritas:

Today we honour the leadership, resilience and contributions of persons with disabilities in our workplace and communities. #IDPD2025 reminds us of our shared responsibility to remove barriers—visible and invisible—and foster spaces where everyone can thrive with dignity, equity and respect. (1/3)

It will never stop being funny to me that the shattering of the BC right started when they rebranded as "BC United." #BCPoli

I love Franklin and read these books aloud to my kid, as did so many of us. KCP is a fantastic Canadian publisher, and I stand with them. Sending so much support to the author and illustrator, and also hoping to eventually see Hegseth get the life he deserves.

Kindness, empathy and inclusion are the polar opposite of what the Trump regime stands for. Compassion makes Trumpism impossible. It’s antimatter, antivenom and antidote all in one. No wonder they’re doing all they can to kill it.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved. Don't look up!

Don't worry, I'm sure Pete Hoekstra will be along any moment to condemn this interference in another country's politics.
