Which is where you should have left them in the first place, clearly. 😁

Anyone find it interesting that not so many weeks ago, President Orange Shits Himself was implying that NATO Allies that supported the US in Afghanistan β€œweren’t on the front lines” is now crying that we aren’t running to his aid in yet another US illegitimate war? πŸ€” Anyone?

Watching the Braves vs Blue Jays feed and they are making fun of the Canadian hockey teams. Saying the Canadian flag should be flown at half mast.

WTF. Dickheads.

Please take a moment to consider what could happen if the money we’re spending on DHS and bombing little girls was invested into rebuilding our universities, scientists, and cancer research.

Stop saying Trump is in panic mode.

He is not.

Everything is going just fine in his world. This is not a man who is panicked.

He’s crazy as a shithouse rat, mind you, but he isn’t panicking,

For those with an interest in the actions of Ontario cities regarding the closing of encampments, Hamilton's Heegsma arguments are being heard at Ontario's Court of Appeal beginning today.

This reporter is giving live updates, and his coverage is excellent. Definitely recommend a follow. πŸ‘

I am all at a loose end since you left; I feel as if I haven't seen you for ten years. Every conversation that I have with my mother is about you. Everyone here loves you dearly.
Under what constellation were you born then, to be blessed with such qualities, so diverse and so rare?
I do not know the name of the feeling that I have for you. But it is a special tenderness, something I have never felt until now, not for anyone. We got on well together, didn't we? It was very agreeable.
It was so good that I do not want to share the pleasure with anyone else. If you happen to use Croisset in one of your books, do disguise it so that nobody recognizes it. I would appreciate it. The memory of your visit is just for the two of us, for me. That is how selfish I am.
I particularly missed you last night, at ten o'clock. There was a fire, over at my wood-merchant's. The sky was pink and the Seine was the colour of red-currant syrup. I worked at the pumps for three hours and I came home as weary as the Turk with the giraffe? [...]
One of the Rouen newspapers (Le Nouvelliste) reported your visit to Rouen, so that on Saturday after I had left you I met several bourgeois in a state of indignation over the fact that I had not put you on display. A former magistrate took the prize: 'If we had known that she was here... we would have... we would have ..? - five-minute pause, he's looking for the word - We would have... smiled at her.' That would have been rather meagre, don't you think?
[...]
To love you 'more' is difficult for me. But I do embrace you most tenderly.
Your letter this morning, so melancholy, stirred me. We parted company just at the moment when all kinds of things were about to find their way into words. All of the doors between the two of us are not yet open. You inspire a great respect in me and I do not have the courage to ask you questions, Farewell, I kiss your sweet and lovely countenance, and I am

Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) has announced a restructuring of its executive leadership team and the intention to sell multiple properties, as the university tries to address a shortfall of approximately $25 million. The changes are just two of several that are expected in the year ahead, as the university also contends with an upcoming tuition-fee freeze. 

In late January, MUN announced it will begin selling multiple properties in St. John’s that are β€œnot closely aligned with its academic mission,” as well as its Harlow Campus in the United Kingdom. The announcement came just two weeks after the university announced executive restructuring, which saw it reduce the number of vice-presidents from seven to three.

PSA: it is in fact possible for universities to address financial challenges by slashing (incredibly expensive and largely useless) admin positions.

Memorial University just downsized VPs from 7 to 3.

Yes we can!

More of us need to be saying what Premier Eby said about the Alberta separatists, for sure. It’s treason.

But why aren’t we screaming about the fact that a small collection of loud idiots are actively being courted and funded by the current United States administration?

That is an act of war.

Y’all, we’ve seen this before. The arrest of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort for their coverage of resistance in Minneapolis is just like when they arrested journalists in Palestine for covering the g-cide.

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning

I was sent this video of agents at her door:

Tbh I hope they keep him. Scheer has *just* enough of a veneer of civility to make them dangerous. If they keep PP they’ll never be a real threat to Carney.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by nameβ€”citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.

I need you to listen to these people.
