Steve Bannon looks like the point of origin for the bubonic plague, syphilis, and herpes, all rolled into one. He's got a such a distinct look that I am sure the night watch on the castle ramparts would have barred the gates, sounded the alarm, and lit a signal beacon.

This really is starting to look like an episode of the "Biggest Loser". Imagine having a huge pre-election lead, losing your own seat, having to be parachuted into the safest seat in the land, then losing MPs who are sick of your BS...only to trot out this douche canoe from retirement. #Canadasky

What a bad loser. Thinks he's just "unlucky". We beat the pants off you twice loser. I guess you were just unlucky that time too... #dodgers #bluejays

Ronald Reagan wasn't the only American president to recognize the dangers of tariffs. Here is what JFK said in 1962 upon signing the Trade Expansion Act:

Oh, and release the Epstein Files, you dirty paedophile.

Americans still believing they are somehow better than everyone else is pathetic. Honestly, at this moment in time, there is nothing worse than being on the downward spiral that is American...except maybe being Russian or North Korean. Hard to break old habits, eh?

This guy is a human rollercoaster covered in vomit. Wonder what he will think of tomorrow...

So thankful I'm not one of Dear Leader's subjects.

If you're not proud of being American then do something about it. Be the change America so desperately needs before it is too late. But DO NOT steal my flag under any circumstances. Americans made their choice a long time ago and went down a very different path. You are not like us at all.

I've always wanted to wake up after a drunken night of feasting on fermented peaches to find a nurse named Misty giving me mouth to mouth... This has the makings of a great story.

Trump saying this POS was loved and admired by ALL is as batshit crazy as his own twisted ideas. He won't be missed.

The Nepalese overthrow their government in 48 hours, meanwhile Americans stand on the sidelines videotaping their neighbours getting hauled away, watching football, and saying how sorry they are. Meanwhile the fascists are emboldened. You need a spark...what's it going to take?

Beware of Farm Boy. Hard to imagine that any potato product available in Canada would be a product of the USA. SHAME! Most of their produce is also American... #canadasky #farmboy #elbowsup

Americans: this is what rising up against tyranny and dictatorship looks like. It requires action not just words. You won't see the change you want to see until you rise up against the fascists. Ukraine knows this. Be brave like Ukraine and its people.

First visit back to Guelph in about 20 years. Had a fantastic lunch at the Trasheteria...I mean Royal Electric. God, I am still in love with this city some 30 years later... #guelph #uofguelph #trasheteria #royalelectric

Here is some new music to listen to on a Friday!

Irish trio Amble's debut full length album is wonderful storytelling covering the sites and sounds of Dublin.

Another example of storytelling that transports you somewhere far away: Ethel Cain's mesmerizing, epic Nettles (Aug 8, full release)
