Happy bday French Canadian poet Émile Nelligan, b.1879. "What is left after the brief storm? What of my heart, the deserted ship? Alas! It foundered in the Dream's abyss!"

Powerful moment in Montgomery, Alabama. Man grabbed the mic and torched the whole game. "The state leads in starving kids, counties with no pediatric beds, hospitals boarded up, yet they slash food and care. The state uses racial fear-mongering to distract the public from these systemic failures.”

one of the things weiss suggested cutting was the section with the stanford students, where they show how a lot of this stuff is double checked

Bari Weiss cosplays being an incompetent, full-of-herself journalist. But she is a shameless corporate lackey. The 60 Minutes segment she spiked is superb. youtu.be/sB3PLjELn4M

🔥WOW— Sharyn Alfonsi to her @60Minutes colleagues: “Bari Weiss spiked it without a call to discuss… a political decision… we have effectively handed Trump a kill switch… we go from an investigative powerhouse to a STENOGRAPHER FOR THE STATE… corporate censorship…”

Tic-Tac-Toe. Oh, baby.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?

How the Klan rally is going

the vice president is a klansman

Complexe Desjardins lays on all the bells and whistles - and strings - for the final Christmas shopping push.

Hmmm.

You know how racist a country gotta be to give everybody a 60 year taste of what being closer to equality could potentially look like & then just roll all that shit back?

Extraordinary career. R.I.P. Peter Annett.

Trump tonight: Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me

What the absolute [expletive] was that?!?

The Caucasian Idi Amin has gone completely haywire.

So, @avankoeverden.bsky.social , with Trump dramatically expanding his racist travel bans to dozens of countries, is it time for the IOC to consider moving the 2028 Summer Games? Where is the COC on this? Tricky issues, I know, but all of this violates the values of the Olympic movement. No?

Travel bans don’t make us safer. They make us smaller, crueler, and less free. Trump’s expansion is fear-based, discriminatory, and wrong. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

I think about this routine every single day. I'm team Meathead on this. youtu.be/prRtcQz8Uqk?...

Dept. Of Age is Just a Number: Covered 16-year-old Sid the Kid at 2004 WJC in Helsinki. Today he’s two points shy of Mario Lemieux atop all-time Penguins scoring list. Watched parade of Rangers greats on red carpet for MSG centennial. Ageless MC Sam Rosen looked frisky alongside those NHL greats.

R.I.P. Bobby Rousseau. Slick forward for the Canadiens in the 1960s. Scored five goals one night at the Forum, with Boom-Boom Geoffrion, the previous Hab to do it, on hand to congratulate him. Saw him tee it up in the Canadian Open one year. Life as a golf pro was his exit strategy after the NHL.

A real team player.

The administration genuinely seems to believe it can pull back from the world stage yet somehow still tell the rest of the world what to do. And it has a very firm idea of what it wants Europe to do, which is “be as racist and xenophobic as Trump.” open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

This wind chill bidness is no bargain. Especially those gusts up to 51 kpm/h. Buckle up.

Hommage à l’œil unique d’un photojournaliste d’exception.

USA gone bananas.

Pink deer with long legs.

Southridge High students walked out in solidarity today—joining a wave of young people refusing to be silent while ICE storms their communities. After months of armed, masked agents targeting teens, they’re drawing a line: We protect each other. We show up. And we won’t let fear decide our future.

Piggy in pink. (A little timeline cleanse.)

Requiring temporary visitors to surrender five years of social media to the U.S. sends the message that the American commitment to free speech is pretense. This simply is not the behavior of a country confident in its freedoms. It's a threat to free speech around the world and must be opposed.

Today, on International Human Rights Day, Albertans woke up in a province where the rights of one of our most vulnerable minorities have been overridden by a government whose only concern is its own ideological base. 1/2 nationalnewswatch.com/2025/12/10/a...

"I will not be quiet. Not speaking out — it equals resignation." Tennis legend Martina Navratilova on the importance of standing up to Trump and his enablers:

Great scoop.

Scary accurate summation.

RACIST TRUMP.... WINS ANOTHER AWARD!

Anyway, the things many of us desperately warned about have come to pass and are coming to pass and folks are on my comments relitigating the 2016 primaries again.

And to think there are media organizations that still refuse to call Trump a pathological liar.

It's the same way watching from Canada with the addition of the possibility of annexation through military force to seize our natural resources......

Nobel Peace Prize laureat Matviichuk called on Germany to supply 🇺🇦with Taurus missiles: "42sec-that’s how long it takes a Russian missile to reach a school in Kharkiv.In 42sec,children don’t have time to reach shelter.The only way to prevent this is to stop the missiles at the airfield in Russia"

Of course the courts should be the ones to adjudicate constitutional issues. That’s the whole point of the rule of law, the cornerstone of government. You can’t trust government or popular opinion to determine or safeguard fundamental rights. #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

If you read nothing else I write, read this. Canadians outside Alberta, pay particular attention. If Smith succeeds, she will infect other provinces with "ungoverning." markhamhislop.substack.com/p/danielle-s...
