Re Venezuela: it's what mathematicians call overdetermined — there are lots of "reasons" why this happened, all of them true, even though many contradict each other. It's playing a game of palace intrigue to unwind it all, and even then you just end up back where you started.

The Halifax Explosion was the largest man-made explosion in human history until the atomic bomb era.
To visualize the immense size of that explosion, we can look at the Beirut Explosion of 2020.

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

Do you think the #CanPL would listen to me if I complained that the default telephone country code is not Canada?
The country code for Canada is the same, of course, but you know, it's a Canadian league, and Canada is an option in the list.
Why demote your premier demographic?

It would be nice if the national broadcaster would acknowledge that I spent 8 months working on a story they re-report as a one-off.
Whatever.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social I live in a more Northern climate so even though the days can be in the 80s, it tends to cool off at night. Other than a hoodie, what kind of summer outerwear do you suggest? I have a linen sports coat but it can be too formal at times.

NO, this isn't about the fucking digital sales tax, it's about our relationship with Trump. By ditching the DST, Carney has signaled to the bully that he can threaten us and we'll cave.

Andy Fillmore is trying to maintain his appeal with voters outside the core, which is how he got elected. Basically, he's Rob-Fording Halifax.

I trust the PM will look to the long game in dealing with this hostile regime.
