Canada, like other western states, is worried about alienating Trump. But that just invites isolation next time, when it's your turn over the barrel, and everyone else stays silent for fear of alienating Trump.
Democracies worthy of the name must stand together for the rule of law, or fall apart.

Was at the game last night, and while I don't have trenchant insights, the beauty of social media is I get to share them anyway
1. My God, the Leafs defence is a fucking nightmare for breakout passing. We all knew they would be, we all know they are, but Benoit's bad at it and Myers is much worse

After going through a bunch of year-end lists I think this was a pretty weak year for independent music and part of the buzz around the Geese album was that it was seen as saving 2025 at the end

I've joked about Millennials being the last generation that can read or wants to, but also it's truer than it is kidding

I leave a lot of room for homage and all that but every effort by others to tack on to C and H after this has felt like spitting on the actual comic, which earned this 100% and then cashed it in

Bluesky was generally better when we all more or less agreed to simply block dumb accounts and move on rather than quote dunk on them for clout.
