His brilliant satirical songs taught me about current events. My older brother played his records often when I was in elementary school. I’ll miss them both.

That was an amazing account. Standards & codes of conduct are even more important for those in higher authority than at lower levels. Let’s hope for follow through.

I’m disturbed by the rise in antisemitism, but this is not the way to deal with it. Screening social media as an official mechanism is the thin edge of a scary wedge.

2 of 2. My point in the anecdote was that invoking martial law in a country at peace could be justified, under narrow circumstances. This was one of them.

Succumbing to cult leader indoctrination? Choosing to support those against your & society’s best interests come from fear & indoctrination. It can’t be emphasized enough this has spilled into the global sphere. Those of us in Canada live the consequences of irrational decisions from the south.

Powerful talk. I was surprised to hear at the end this was from 2

This week I thought this was the cruelest & saddest of actions. These poor souls had no chance to prove they’re not gang affiliated. Then I heard about the destruction of the Yale University database on kidnapped Ukrainian children. How in the name of humanity can this stuff be done & so quickly?

Thanks to another great mind, Neil DeGrasse Tyson for telling us this. Isaac Newton clearly is the greatest scientific mind. The next in line, arguably Michelangelo, primarily an artist & sculptor who was aware of so many scientific principles.

Parents were misguided. The therapy centre offering straws for the parents to grasp are the primary villains. Shut them down, oh wait, the health secretary thinks they’re valid.

Thank goodness for people like her, or we would give up on salvaging our relationship with the US. Hang in, do what you can & we’ll do our part in Canada. At least we’re united on the reality of the orange menace, even in the province of Quebec. A feat not possible before now.

It was a bully in the schoolyard attack, that’s the level they launched at. For Trump & Vance to talk like that on camera to a president trying to save his nation from an aggressive war, it should be condemned by every American who believes in democracy & standing up for what is right.
