Frog and Toad looked into a mirror.
“We look brave,” said Frog.
“Yes, but are we?” asked Toad.

A lot of people forget how in 2004 the Bush regime kidnapped the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and dumped him in Africa.
Is there any modern precedent for abducting a head of state?
Plenty of examples of coups, assassinations and domestic trials, including show trials, but this is like a Crusader Kings plot.

Toad went to the store. He bought two big ice-cream cones.
Toad licked one of the codes. “Frog likes chocolate best,” said Toad, “and so do I.”

This reality check should be driving all Canadian coverage of Venezuela today. And, the last time a US president mused with invading Canada, he switched to Venezuela right after.
There's no legal difference between kidnapping Maduro and kidnapping Mark Carney.

I've been mostly ignoring the news for the last several days and now I kind of wish I'd continued to do so.

One of my all-time favourite songs
“I am a passenger
And I ride, and I ride
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, they're bright in a hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight”

There’s an epidemic of people using Grok to do sexual violence to women on Twitter.
Yet Canadian politicians, media etc have failed to adopt another platform en masse, making it near-impossible to fully disengage and be tapped in to vital conversations and information.

We need three day weekends. Friday night is the best part. Saturday is recovery from the week and night before, doing as little as possible. And Sunday is mostly spent dreading Monday nearing. There's no designated day for whimsy, frolicking, or exacting revenge on enemies of old.

‘Cancel’ comes from a Latin word meaning “to make like a lattice.”
When people needed to annul or void a document, they sometimes would mark it with crosshatches
XXXXX
which resembled a lattice.
So the document became ‘canceled.’
...we hope this post doesn’t get us that.
