This delivery driver throws treats to all the dogs on his route to see if they can catch. Spoiler alert: some of them definitely cannot. Still 13/10 for all (TT: jezzyvi)

I finished this piece awhile ago. It's currently on display/for sale at the local gallery. I am so in love with still life right now.

"Go ahead, yell at the bridge." He's right. We're over it. It will take decades to repair any relationship Canada has with the US. Canadians are the friendliest people in the world. Until we're not.

What an absolute disgusting pig! How could a country ever elect him as president? Twice!? The world is watching, and we're not impressed.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

Dear President Trump.

I write to reassure you that millions of Canadians are grateful for America.

Yes, endlessly grateful to the American failure (twice !) to conquer Canada in the 19th century. NOT being American is the greatest gift America gave us.

And … that’s about it.

Carney bites back at Trump's 'Canada lives because of' U.S. remarks at cabinet meeting | CBC News For the second time this week Prime Minister Mark Carney took aim at Donald Trump β€” this time directly biting back at the U.S. president's "Canada lives because of the United States" comments.

"Canada and the US have built a remarkable partnership. In the economy, in security and in rich cultural exchange. But #Canada doesn't live because of the US," Carney said β€” Carney bites back at Trump's 'Canada lives because of' U.S. remarks at cabinet meeting

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is sworn in:

β€œI love my country.”

β€œI am not a politician & I hold no partisan loyalties. My career has been dedicated to serving our country by upholding the rule of law.”

How do we know that billionaire-owned AI is not going to be some great boon to society? Because we already know these guys and how they operate. All of them have had ample time and opportunity to give back or make a positive difference and passed every time. Most of them won't even pay their taxes.
