Finally got someone over to help get this beauty by @jayispainting.earthskyart.ca up on the wall. Love it.

“Thanks for returning my call, doc. Let me just check if my wife is home.” Yells into the distance “Honey, are you here?” Barely audible “No!”

Here are ome Canadian small businesses hit by the American tariffs that you can support #BuyCanadian

What a ride! Don’t start reading this unless you have the time to get through it in 1-2 days because you will be sucked in. I cried (more than once), cheered, gasped. Loved every moment of it. #audiobook #📚 #Whalefall

Today someone said I could be counted on to do the “sensible” thing, and honestly, day made.

Who can identify? #books #booksky #reading

My dear prairie people, it’s the May long and it’s snowing outside. At this rate, I hope that when we finally get summer it lands on a weekend so we can at least go for a picnic.

Reuters reports multiple well-timed trades placed just before major Trump policy announcements—on tariffs, Iran, and oil—generated millions in profits, prompting experts to call for scrutiny over possible information leaks or insider advantage in financial markets.

Better late than never, as I slowly realize that my time is finite. My days have only 24 hours and I’m remarkably unrealistic about what I can accomplish in that time. Especially when refuse to make my entire life work and tasks. Balance? I’m just trying to find sanity. Balance is just a dream.

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

"Assemble the Board of Peace - I'm starting a war".

Vermont US Representative Becca Balint being interviewed by Drop Site News shortly after reviewing more, unreleased Epstein files saying "They're all a bunch of sick fucks"

The way people don’t understand that it’s a privilege to not care about politics given everything that’s going on

I wrote about the urologist, Harry Fisch MD, who was a celebrity MD in the 2010s and who had a warm relationship with Epstein that was not just medical. Haircuts, dinner with Woody Allen and Dick Cavett, and Brooklyn blackout cake. Deserves same derision as Attia. open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Please share. 💔

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

If the US were a geopolitical rival the headlines would be like: US Secret Police Execute Second Dissident In the Streets As Militarized Occupation Enters Sixth Week

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

When the racist meme becomes national policy

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it. We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics. What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

This is a video I think every American could benefit from hearing. A perspective on US politics from a German citizen, who previously lived here before fleeing due to concerns over our slide into fascism. Our political system is captured. We stand at a cross roads, under a new age of technology.

There's no legal difference between kidnapping Maduro and kidnapping Mark Carney.

Abysmal statement from Canada on the illegal US action in Venezuela. It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.

America has launched a risky, belligerent, and illegal action to oust a brutal dictator. The rest of the Americas have a responsibility to make sure things don't go from bad to worse — and that means making sure Venezuela has real, democratic home rule. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Bragging that you just passed your 3rd dementia test is a great way of telling us they've made you take 3 dementia tests

Being profoundly upset about the 51st state stuff was not an unreasonable reaction.

Funny, but not funny. 😅

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Even if you feel you have no sleep concerns, I would still encourage you to read this book. It has finally inspired me to take my sleep, and thus my health, more seriously. #📚 #matthewwalker #sleep #health share.libbyapp.com/title/3198643

The only thing ChatGPT ever does.

Of all the things to be blocked for, someone has apparently blocked me for my dislike of the movie Heat. Amazing.

Demons are a great way to escape accountability. Wasn’t me. I’m not a bad guy. It was a demon.

Murder on the east side.

So there was a conspiracy, just not involving pizza parlors. At the center of this is how White men trafficked children as a means to acquire global wealth and political power. I do want us at some point to understand this situation as ongoing throughout Western history & not an anomaly.

Sunset over the Red Sea along the coast of #Egypt.

To the man beside me in the #YYZ airport sniffling and snorting like a pig rooting for truffles, Kleenex exists.

Horrific details emerging from El Fasher, Sudan: pools of blood so large they’re visible by satellite, people being killed systematically. Last week, MSF teams assessed 165 children under 5 fleeing the area and found 75% were acutely malnourished. An accelerating genocide before our eyes.

“Are you feeling better?” “I’m drinking cough syrup straight out of the bottle. Yes. I’m feeling better.”

Trump slammed for demolishing White House before Canadians could burn it down again
