Just saw this and thought I’d share. I believe it’s how a lot of people feel after war.

Lovely rainbow early this morning.

If anyone is interested, here is my talk from the Guelph Civic Museum on Thursday evening. It’s in two parts. youtu.be/vvmuVHd8Luo?... youtu.be/PNygZSZUkX4?...

Ships in the Great Lakes must travel through the Welland Canal. The 27mile canal contains 8 locks, & its entire length runs within Ontario,🇨🇦. $26.3B of 🇺🇸 trade is dependent on having unimpeded access to a waterway entirely under Canadian jurisdiction. I bet Trump never thought about that.

I’m at that age. 😏

Juno and me. To blave… (IYKYK)

For anyone who needs to hear this right now…

@alexchurchill.bsky.social Did you see this?

43 years since we lost Stan. A terrible day. youtu.be/FJQkKof3opg?...

Quel surprise 😒

Please vote for “Ring of Fire”. It is worthy of your vote and so are the authors.

“…no matter how terrible Communism may at times appear, it still symbolizes an idea of man, whereas Hitler-Fascism was not an idea at all, but depravity…[Nazism] could not claim a single idea, but did possess a whole arsenal of confused, crackbrained notions…” - Jean Amery, “At the Mind’s Limits”

Your daily dose of rage from @itsluke7.bsky.social

LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours

What a mess. But truly foreseeable!

We brought Maple back to her elderly lady today after she had been stabbed. A truly special moment… niallharbison.substack.com/p/the-power-...

Loblaws strikes again.

Happy Bouncing the Rhine Day for all who celebrate! 81 years ago today was Op. Varsity. It’s also the day that Fred ‘Toppy’ Topham earned his VC. If you want to hear about Canadians at Op. Varsity - and the story of how Toppy won a VC - you can listen to here: youtu.be/rnr2t7Zf1JQ?...

Have you been here, @jmcn.bsky.social ?

Cognitive dissonance: listening to a Second World War podcast while sewing baby wipes for the grandbaby due in May. 🫤

@streetwriter.bsky.social You have a fan!

Off to Ottawa and Library and Archives Canada. Nice day for it.

What’s really striking in Saruman’s speech to Gandalf is how broadly (and unusually for Tolkien) relevant it is. Take out the one specific reference to the Elves and Númenor and it is just an absolute classic rationale for collaborating with evil in the confidence you can ultimately direct it.

If you don’t think the Trump Regime is planning to steal the midterms, you are not paying attention.

Happy #Caturday from Duke and me.

"Camp X" was a training school for covert agents and a radio communications centre that operated during the Second World War. It served the needs of the Special Operations Executive, the British agency created in 1940 to “set Europe ablaze” by promoting sabotage and subversion behind enemy lines.
