I like my watermelons and cucumbers with seeds. I like orange juice with pulp. When I was a kid I'd spit out those watermelon seeds and I guess someone decided that was gross and I shouldn't do that anymore, so they genetically engineered watermelons to appease their sorry selves.

There's nothing like aging to dispel all of your puffed up illusions about being a rebel. I just enjoyed a dinner of salmon and broccoli with a side salad garnished with olive oil and apple cider vinegar and pumpkin seeds. My capitulation is complete. It was delicious. Fuck Trump.

So Norway has earned a 'stain on the country' says the greatest stain on the USA in history. What a tool you've elected. Twice.

A time will come when a politician who has wilfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own. -H.G. Wells (21 Sep 1866-1946)

Like most Saturdays I did my laundry and bought groceries, but today was a bit busier. I also hit the LCBO and bought gas. (Fuck Trump) I went to the Argos game (they won) and had little access to media of any kind. I'm curious. Did that buffoon south of us screw anything up while I was busy?

I'm not at all surprised that Trump's negotiating team sought to impose last minute restrictions on who Canada could trade with as a condition of renewing CUSMA. I'm also not surprised that Canada said "Nope", and walked away.

Dave Portnoy bet $25,000 against the Canadian men's football team, lost the bet then called the Canadians losers. I had to google him when I heard the story. Words have no meaning anymore do they?

I've been watching sports all day. Canada vs Iceland, Blue Jays vs Athletics, Leafs vs Blues. I've been bombarded with ads from sites who think I need to have a financial stake in my fandom to fully enjoy sports. They are wrong. So are the whores who have sold out to them. Sports betting is a pox.

Conservative MP Jamil Jivani told the right-wing U.S. media outlet Breitbart News that "we are shooting ourselves in the foot if we continue this anti-America hissy fit." Jamil Jivani, shooting himself in the foot by failing to read the room.
