Former Trump Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg said he would tell Zelensky to strike every Russian oil refinery, arguing there should be no military sanctuaries. “I’d burn down every one of the goddamn refineries that Russia has today. Take them all out. Make them pay the price.” #Ukraine

Aside from being delightful, the Beatles are also a good subject for teaching musicology because they are probably the best-documented artists in history, we know how they wrote and recorded almost all that stuff so it's very easy to guide the kids in reverse-engineering their process.

Alberta separation would put our jobs, investment, and economic future at risk. Calgary has the highest employment rate of any major Canadian city, and unemployment is down to 6.3%. Even with tariffs and trade uncertainty, we're holding our own. We need more jobs & investment, not separation chaos.

The world needs more Americans to be in the streets every day, every week, not just the odd No Kings demonstration. That's how regimes like Trumplandia are brought to feel pressure from the people, how you unite the opposition. It's also a way to fire up voters to turn out at the polls.

Shane Gillis was hired in 2019 as an SNL cast member and fired five days later when the racism of his podcast jokes came to light. It was NBC who fired him, not Lorne Michaels. It is Michaels who has had him host SNL, not once but three times. Not to excuse NBC, but let's not forget Michaels.
