Some good wonky trade law analysis going on in this thread.

Sarah McLachlan will have something to say aboot all this.

On the TV feed, they have #Kimmel in studio PIP during the commercials.

So the #BlueJays DFA'd Manoah today, opting to instead keep Tate, Piña and some other minor league pitchers.🤔

Things that should have happened two years ago, along with secondary sanctions & more weapons, that could have already ended the war with a 🇺🇦 victory

One takeaway for Canadians watching what’s happening in the United States right now is that we need to put more pressure on governments / parties to strengthen democratic institutions and the fourth estate You can also defend democracy by supporting the work of journalists and civil society groups

As Canada moves towards sovereignty in training our doctors and the U.S. does... U.S. things, I'm left wondering how these changes are going to affect international perceptions of Canadian vs American-trained doctors in the coming years.

Recently rewatched Motorcycle Diaries, which Redford produced. It's the Cinema Paradiso of road movies. Milagro Beanfield War is another good one. RIP

1/ South Korean workers who have been deported from the US have spoken of enduring squalid conditions in ICE custody, including being chained, handcuffed and zip-tied, being made to lick up water rather than drink it, and having to menstruate and use the toilet in public. ⬇️

Listening to @transportist.net on CBC radio right now, discussing his research on the impact of bigger vehicles on traffic congestion.

Would be ironic if Evan Solomon were to be replaced by AI.

#BREAKING 🇷🇺🇹🇩 A Russian Shahed entered Romanian airspace and flew there for about 10 minutes. The drone entered Romania from Ukraine’s Odesa region. It was shot down by a Romanian F-16.

there’s so much happening right now that i somehow missed the fact that Nepal is in turmoil and Gen Z of Nepal are naming new interim government leaders via a Discord server https://www.semafor.com/article/09/12/2025/nepal-crisis-unfolds-on-gaming-site-discord

A different kind of tech & politics story: Discord is playing a huge role in what’s going on in Nepal right now

Nepal have chosen their new leader by a poll on a discord server. Truly sometimes reality is stranger than fiction.

Wondering how the Acosta - Epstein deal has managed to remain unchallenged. If you want justice for the victims, this could help.

Thinking back about past restaurant outings.

The Trump administration has approved the expansion of a Wyoming coal mine by using emergency authority to expedite the project’s environmental review to less than a month.

As soul destroying as fascism is, anti-fascism sure warms the heart.

Early late game. #RedSox

Good overview of Northwest Passage shipping, including the issue of surveys and charts.

Big revisions happen at times of transition. We don’t have a data quality problem, we have an economic policy problem right now.

Shopify went from very easy to use to a big giant POS. Because now they don't do what they used to do, now they just want to collect data. They can go fly a kite

The collusion seems to include providing the Russian authorities with materials (from their confidential asylum applications!) used to send forcibly repatriated dissidents to prison. The depth of betrayal here is beyond words.

Common theme of people I've interviewed recently. At universities, in research centers, in diplomacy, in the legal system, dealing with refugees or immigrants: The reality inside is much worse than you would think from the outside.

It's hard to describe, honestly, but you are right. It's worse than what other non-gov DC friends think it is and it's way worse than the press conveys. It's like good order in general from my view at DoD has collapsed. People are lost, demoralized, behaving poorly, abdicating leadership.

The bone spurs. The bone spurs. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Let's do a GoFundMe to get a ballpark organist to play the opening of "Chest Fever".

Hey hey. Ho ho. The dancing Granny commercial has got to go.

With his IEEPA tariff powers in jeopardy, President Trump is now threatening to use a different trade tool, known as Section 301, to push back on the EU over its fines on Google and other U.S. tech companies. Would require an investigation, but could lead to steep new tariffs on the EU.
