Looking at this smile, I swear I can hear Malcolm-Jamal Warner saying the name Gordon Gartrelle.

The best take on this one. Apologies to Lons if you’re here, I could not find you.

Hope I’m wrong. I thought this would be either the new public gallows or all nicely paved to make clean up easier after the firing squads.

The Rose Garden is pictured with all vegetation removed and the gravel set down prior to paving the green space.

This one cracks me up. My first pup as an adult - and that’s not my cat. This neighbour kitty used to crawl along the outside of the building into my second story apartment. I would find them playing in my place when I got home from work.

Cute green eyed gray kitty and tri-coloured Jack Russell pup sitting in the corner, behind the couch. They are both gazing directly at the camera.

The Better Sister on Prime. I love this actress, Lorraine Toussaint (Orange is the New Black, Selma). I would LOVE to talk about this scene - Black women and white women. 🔥 Pretty good show. Elizabeth Banks (she’s become a powerhouse producer!) and Jessica Biel produced and star.

They hatched! If you’re wondering what you’re looking at, it’s a driftwood ball that I threaded twinkle lights into.

Baby birds in a small nest, freshly hatched.

I’m not sure if you’ve heard of them. They wiped the founders/supporters from the website after the public got wind of it.

New little bird nest inside a hanging decoration on my deck.

Close up of driftwood ball. A small birds nest is nestled on the bottom of the ball, wires and twinkle lights are visible. No bird in the nest.

Charlie’s Angels (2000) clip of Sam Rockwell in here. It’s the only thing I remember from that movie. Who is that?? Dancing is so sexy.

Look at this story I accidentally dug up yesterday while searching for something. It’s from Slate 2017, written by you!

Bloody hell. I’m trying to find the article on Apple News. It’s hard to find because of the plethora of articles about taking Trump seriously and not literally!

I thought you might get a kick out of this one that I was added to. Royal family fans are a wee touched.

Why hasn’t Canada updated the travel advisory from the government?

Canada, what’s up? In Trump’s first administration, there was a travel advisory for members of the LGBTQIA2 community. Now? Nothing - while people are being detained for weeks.

From a WSJ story today. Imagine being greeted by this at the border. You’re about to be mucked up.

Kristi Noem, dressed in full DHS cosplay, stands behind a border agent. A couple crossing the border is sitting in their car. The camera is pointing through the car with the passengers in the foreground, Noem is in the far background. She wears a blank look on her face.

Hey American friends, is this true? No warnings for the tornadoes?

Post from @oldmanlefty: massive tornado outbreak in Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, and Mississippi. People didn’t get tornado alerts on their phones last, and tornado sirens didn’t go off. 34 folks are dead. Not trying to direct line between gutting NOAA and these deaths but it’s hard not to.

Movie recommendation. Number 24 tells the story of Norwegian Gunnar Sønsteby and the choices made during war by the resistance to Nazi- Germany.

A man is wearing a cap and coat, looking over his shoulder. German soldiers march in the background.

Our 🇨🇦 government has not updated their travel advisory for the US. I’m surprised by this.

My sister and I had Hudson’s Bay blankets on our beds when we were little kids. I have a Canadian nostalgia for the Hudson’s Bay. Found these really cool tote bags on the website; highlighting the architecture of their stores. Link in next post.

Ahem. Do not try to pass yourself off as Canadian when travelling please. They’re gonna know. Somebody will know. 🇨🇦

We’re visiting Paris for spring break, but we’re embarrassed by America’s far right politics. my wife plans to wear a Mapleleaf lapel pin to pass for a Canadian, and wants me and the kids to wear one as well. I worry that it would compromise our in and insult Parisians who discover the truth. But the deception could make our trip more pleasant. What do you think?
From The Ethicist:
Put those pins down, s’il vous plait. Otherwise you’d be starting every interaction with a lie, while treating Canada’s flag - which means something to many Canadians - as a prop for your own convenience. Besides, Parisians deal with visitors from everywhere, and surely understand that citizens aren’t always aligned with their government. The far right politician Marine Le Pen has a strong base of support in France, for one thing, and Canada’s next Prime Minister is expected to be someone very conservative. Spare yourself having to pretend you know the words to oh Canada ethical patriotism means being able to experience both pride and shame when it comes to your nation’s actions, not hiding behind a maple leaf.

I have never seen this picture of her before. They’re both giving me this.
