When they eventually make a movie about this time, please don't put the male politicians in good suits. IMO, the ugly, low rent tailoring should be part of the story.

“Gallup has Trump’s approval among Canadians at 15%, the lowest any U.S. president has ever registered here, with nearly 80% disapproval — numbers that put American leadership in the same neighbourhood as Russia in Canadian eyes.”

“We work through the problems, cause that’s what we do. We’re problem solvers.”

Lombardo on Trump: "When the press and media runs him down, they think about 'he's taking care of his billionaire friends.' But those billionaire friends provide jobs. And unless you take care of them, those jobs are absent."

Yikes

the three most upsetting facts about exercise: 3: it doesn't mean you'll lose weight (muscle weighs more than fat) 2: it doesn't mean your old clothes will fit (wtf happened to my shoulders?) 3: it really works, makes you stronger and healthier, incredibly powerful against depression, etc

Laziness? Apathy?

Curious to hear @radiofreetom.bsky.social take on The County v The County senate matchup coming for us in ME.

Maine Public@mainepublic.org

The logger and former Maine Senate president appeared to have dominated Saturday's delegate-selection meetings in half of Maine's counties. And on Sunday morning, a top rival for the nomination, Shenna Bellows, withdrew from the race. https://bit.ly/4wij9QS

People talk about Orwellian too much in a dreary cliche sense and in not in a "lol George would have loved this" way.

The ceasefire with Iran ‘has at least temporarily ceased,’ a U.S. official tells CNN

Exactly what we should be expecting from our own free press.

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

Platner has royally screwed his party and his state. He should get no right to dictate anything other than a letter of apology in which he withdraws from the race and then leaves public life.

Bar Harbor’s 250th fireworks were 10/10, lasted 45 minutes?! My favorite part was the crowd on Agamont Park overlooking the harbor. With each pause after a volley, thank you style clapping and cheering only to be delighted when they started up again. ❤️🤍💙 🇺🇸

The French team’s post-game wrap-up language is so classy. And no whining about the refs despite the yellow card distribution. US pro teams can take a lesson.

It was drummed into me as a young officer that when I spoke in uniform, I commanded a moral and legal authority that I did not personally own, but had only borrowed. And that to implicate others in endorsing my own individual opinions, however earnestly held, was a kind of theft of authority.

If you grew up in or near Quebec, this is a delightful bit of colour

there are an absolute fuckload of American companies whose origin story is a variant on “immigrant salesman hooks up with Delaware sailor who has pickle industry ops expertise, plausibly” and it feels pretty good when they let you know they remember

Cool Sankey diagram of the ranked choice voting results of Maine’s Democratic gubernatorial primary. Think how transformative this could be if more states adopted it.

Like twice a day now I read a headline that makes me remember that time I went to Versailles with my mom, and she looked around and went, “They had it coming.”

The news

Iranian state TV announces reaching an agreement with the U.S.: The humiliation of America and the Zionist regime by Iran, by imposing its will on the enemy, forced America to accept the end of the war on all fronts.

“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”
