If you're forced the indignity of watching the Jays on Apple TV, at least there's an option to switch to Canadian coverage on audio.

Freudenfreude: (German for joy of joy). Opposite of schadenfreude (joy of harm to others). Also, mudita: Sanskrit for being genuinely happy for the joy and/or success of others. I often feel schadenfreude for people who don't experience freudenfreude. Earworms for the day: FREUDENFREUDE MUDITA!

I was telling my sisters last night immediately following the ceasefire "agreement" that this peace is only as strong as whatever kickback was promised to Trump re tolls on ships traversing the Strait of Hormuz. President Smaug.
Trump went from making genocidal threats against Iran to becoming business partners with Iran in 24 hours.

This movie out of Quebec in 1984 is 92% responsible for shaping my world view. Silly war with devastating consequences.

Trip of a lifetime bucket list 50th Birthday bonanza! We are going to see the @torontobluejays.bsky.social in May, staying at the Marriott with field view ⚾️ I have saved for years for this, haven't missed a day of work, so taking three days to have an extended weekend is a BIG deal!

I've been saying since Harper came into power in Canada that the Conservative "messaging" and tactics were changing. They had been changing for decades before then, but for me, Harper was when it really became clear. It's not just happening in America.
"Trump’s 2016 primary win did not just happen—it was the capstone of a decade of hard work by a radicalising activist base to discipline and replace the leadership of the Republican Party. Fascists have fought—and fought hard—to undermine conservatism from within."
It Wasn't Fascism All Along
Conservatism was a distinct ideology but it is dead and it is not coming back.

Right Wing media claims Trump is the "most open, always speaks to the press" and sure, he speaks, A LOT, but says *nothing.* He says harmful things, he lies, he deflects, he makes declarations, jokes at the expense of others. Nothing that pushes humanity to a better place. Nothing.
Why can't we have recaps like this in the United States

Here's the only way to get the full release of the Epstein files: keep getting the ones who were communicating with him after his initial conviction in 2008 fired. Those billionaires seeing themselves at risk, THEY need to be the ones pressuring to place charges on the co-conspirators.

The horrid hill that Bondi and this regime are standing on: just close your eyes to the proclivities of the Epstein class. They did these messy things in the dark while building empires, but they built empires and made many men (and those attached to them) wealthy. Just look at the DOW! 50 000!
The Epstein victims stood behind Bondi and she wouldn’t even look at them.
When asked about the men who raped them, here is what she said…….. I guess it’s what Trump told her to fit in somewhere.

Epstein is dead, but his system is thriving. Musk, Lutnick, Gates, Bannon, Trump all complicit, continue their privileged lives. The scandal ? Not that Epstein existed, but that the world which allowed him to exist is still there, unpunished, while the victims are seeking justice.

They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.
Hundreds of people spelled out the distress signal "SOS" on Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis on Friday, Jan. 30.

Eventually, in the not too distant future, I believe this in my core, there will be a reckoning. The trials for these criminals will make Nuremberg look like Kangaroo Court. From the top down, from Trump to the employees working at the children's detention centers. They'll all face justice.

Dear #Minneapolis: record everything, post everything. If it is not safe for you to post, send it to an ally. I'm one, and I'm in Canada. Safe enough for me, for now, but fascism will move like untreated cancer. Now is the time to act. #Fuckice #FuckMAGA #fuckTrump

A beautiful piece from Devin and the CBC, about his friend and colleague, Colleen Jones.
Last night on The National we honoured Colleen Jones.
I’m so grateful for everyone who played a role in putting it together and lending their voice to celebrating Colleen’s life and legacy. She was iconic, memorable and so loved.

Trump signed the Bill. He's currently melting down. Also called Mamdani in for a meeting Friday apparently (bring your own security Zohran). Man, what I would give for Sam Beckett to do a Quantum Leap into Trump right now.
