Jimmy Kimmel was fantastic last night, but let's not kid ourselves that the free speech struggles are over. Next time, Brendan Carr will make his threats over lunch rather than on a podcast, but the threats will be the same.

Imma watch Kimmel in a few minutes. I'd be watching him anyway, but I'm going to watch extra hard just because the Taco Toddler doesn't want me to.

Is there a subreddit for Canadians to tell stories of random Americans explaining how our health care system sucks because they know for a fact that our wait times are so long?

So. Defense Secretary Hegseth has ordered Cyber Command to stand down on all protections from Russian cyber attacks, is that right? Because Russia is no longer a threat?
“They open the gates and let in all their comrades, joining their ranks with the armed bands already inside.”(Aeneid, 2.272–273)

So... Trump is a Russian asset, right? And Putin is just instructing him to burn down as much of the USA as he can before they catch him, right? Putin must keep on thinking the jig will be up, and then get more and more delighted that it keeps working.

This is a fascinating read for all those Canadians (and Americans, I guess) who are worried about American invasion. Bottom line: It ain't happening because it would destroy the US. theconversation.com/why-annexing...
Why annexing Canada would destroy the United States
Americans have already been defeated by insurgents all over the world. Invading Canada would be no exception.

I always used to criticize the main Star Wars narratives (not the extended stuff, don't @ me)because they didn't really show Palpatine's motive other than just "be evil." I take it all back. I was wrong. An evil emperor can just be stupid, directionless, and evil. So can his boss, Elon.

You know that thing I'm always saying about how the Empire in Star Wars has no health and safety regulations? Walkways over chasms without railings and all that? Well, a Republican senator has put forward a bill to get rid of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, so now we know how they get there.

This is the most clear-headed plan I have seen so far for us to respond to the threat of Trump to Canada. It's not about the border; it never was. He's just going to find other things to extort us about. We need to plan for that.

So... Canada made the offer to appoint a "fentanyl czar" and that appeased Trump. Canada-sourced fentanyl is something like .005% of the stuff in the US. Can... can I apply for the fentanyl czar position? It seems like it would be very easy.

Lately it kind of feels like 9/11, knowing in my bones that we’re witnessing history unfold, in the worst way. Except instead of a sudden shock, it’s slow-rolling dread. The world will never be the same, because America’s allies can’t trust it anymore. Defence pacts, trade agreements, all worthless.
