Tonight Gáttaþefur (Doorway Sniffer), the 11th of Iceland's 13 Yule Lads, comes down from the mountains. He has a very long nose and a keen sense of smell, which he uses to find laufabrauð. Children leave their shoes out in the window, he gives the good ones a small gift, the bad ones get a potato.

Gáttaþefur has a white beard and hair and is wearing a red hat. He has a very big nose and seems to be sniffing. Illustration by Brian Pilkington.

How many Republicans have spoken out against Trump's threat to suspend habeas corpus? How many Republicans have spoken out against Trump's "gift" from Qatar? How many Republicans--and other Republican-adjacent elites--put the Constitution above Trump? The sad answer: vanishingly close to zero.

Maybe now the clueless idiots whining about Carney "not being elected" will finally STFU. #CanadianPolitics

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

MSNBC just showed a montage of world leaders calling the USA idiotic, illogical, hostile, unhinged.... literally never seen anything like this. From the shining city on a hill to an object of global derision and contempt.

If I was a judge and a DOJ lawyer filed a brief saying "yes, we mistakenly shipped someone with a right to be here to a foreign gulag but you have no power to order us to bring him back" I'd put that lawyer in jail until that person was brought back.

Slogan Boy Poilievre must be having a fit as the polls show the Liberals ahead. However, polls don’t vote, people do. Don’t sit the election out if you care about Canada.

“…destroy my influence” = tacit acknowledgment he has acquired the government. “…push negative propaganda about me” = they keep pointing out the stuff I say and do. “They are evil” - anyone who opposes an oligarchy is evil.

We have to diversify our trade partnerships and build stronger trading relationships within our own country. To do that, we’ll invest big in the infrastructure that gets Canadian goods to market — by air, rail, road, and sea.

Folks, this is a scam. The GOP is helping Elon Musk and his friends loot the federal government and give themselves billions in federal contracts—and then wants to give them permanent tax breaks on the back end by cutting critical programs. Let's call it what it is: a scam on the American people.

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

I was expecting the grocery store to be busy like it was early covid panic-buying but instead it was busy in that everyone was extremely chill but pausing everywhere to examine the labels for "Made in Canada". 🤣

Remember this the next time a business claims losing street parking will kill them. In large cities like Toronto, or here in Chicago, foot traffic is king.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Never forget, if you design a city for cars, it fails for everyone, including drivers. If you design a multi-modal city that makes walking, biking & public transit attractive options, it works better for everyone, including drivers. INCLUDING DRIVERS. The “war on cars” has always been a lie.

To state the obvious: If you argued that Hillary Clinton's email server was a prosecutable crime and career-ending breach, but are not holding the Trump team to that same standard now, then you are an empty political hack who should never again be taken seriously.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs aren’t costs.

One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss

Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.
