Retired and trying to do what I didn’t do on Twitter (X): minimize the consumption of toxicity. It was detrimental to me.

The Trump administration is misleading the public by downplaying what was in the Signal messages that The Atlantic editor in chief @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social received. People should see the texts for themselves. So we published them: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The United States is no longer a nation under the rule of law. I urge Canadians to avoid travel. Illegal detentions and kidnapping by ICE have become all too common for travellers and those with working VISAs. Stay away at this time. boingboing.net/2025/03/20/d...

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

I have solved Bird Flu. Give the chickens ivermectin. Have the chickens practice Earthing. The problem with their immune systems is they are not touching the soil enough. Coffee enemas for all chickens. Also we must stop reading them Ibram X. Kendi. Eggs will be back and most importantly not gay.

99 is such a zero now. Back when I was a young hockey fan, I read his biography in one sitting. I was irrationally proud that he was Canadian. Dude disgusts me now. He can't even be bothered to pick up his own Order of Canada. He's chosen his new "team." They can have him.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Today is December 5th. Election Day was November 5th. Feels like a decade since hope and joy were a part of our daily vocabulary. Way too short lived! Promise me we’re all going to work our asses off to make this right in 2028…should we get the chance?

I had to unfollow BarbraStreisand.bsky.social due to all the Trump stuff she was posting. I get she’s pissed at the election results, I am too. Can’t have a steady flow of Trump in my feed. Pretty sure she won’t miss me. 😜 Happy Thanksgiving Barbra. 👍
