Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! Thankful for the community who's embraced me here 🥰

I saw Tim Curry in Rocky Horror live decades ago. I was on an aisle seat and he did a high kick right by me and missed my nose by millimetres. And then he looked down and smiled at me 🥰 Rest in peace, sir.

Dolly Parton spent 80 years proving you could have big hair, a bigger heart, a brilliant mind and absolutely no patience for anyone who underestimated you. She gave us unforgettable songs, free books for millions of children, and enough wit, rhinestones and kindness to light up Tennessee.

In a perfect world, I'd love see Stephen Colbert take his wit and humanity and brilliance to @npr.org and bring his millions of fans with him to ensure its future 😊 Keeping my fingers crossed.

"I am an old woman, named after my mother." John Prine's Angel from Montgomery rings truer every year. Today, I'm remembering my mother, the first Catherine, with whom I shared a birthday for 63 of my years on earth. I was her 21st birthday present on March 7 ❤️ I miss saying Happy Birthday to her.

I lived in the US for several years in the early 2000s, working in Silicon Valley. My beloved second home is unrecognizable to me now. I want these unprecedented times to become unpresidented instead.

Today we mourn the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson, a giant of the civil rights movement who never stopped demanding that America live up to its promise.   He marched, he ran, he organized and he preached justice without apology.  May we honor him not just in words, but in struggle.

Holy cow, folks. Archive link to a paywall read, but it’s an astounding op-ed with an outside perspective on American Olympians & the crisis of confidence in representing the “American brand” on the world stage. This does NOT mince words. Wow. From the searing Jake Paul lede to the end: Oof.

Fragile U.S. psyche faces trial by sport in Milan

In the continuum of human stupidity, there are few more extreme contemporary examples than boxer/influencer Jake Paul. Stupid is his business, and business is good.

Paul is here at the Olympics following around his crush, American vice-president J.D. Vance. The pair attended Saturday's U.S. women's hockey game together.

Paul is also acting as volunteer komissar, policing the political affiliations of his countrymen.
During a presser, American freestyle skier Hunter Hess talked about the vibe back home.

"It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now," Hess said. "Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the country."

When said in Hess's Jeff Spicoli drawl, you'd have to be trying to be very offended by that. Paul was very offended.

"From all true Americans," he tweeted at Hess. "If you don't want to represent this country go live somewhere else."

Obviously, someone who gets hit in the head for a living shouldn't be taken too seriously. Then Paul went on a date with the second-most powerful person in America. So maybe that's not obvious anymore.
