Today’s news: In the past few days our entire MSM has been preoccupied with: 1. The Prime Minister’s hair (not a typo)2. A nonsense “Canada is communist” statement made by an American far right radio provocateur3. A fully manufactured notion that there’s going to be an election this fall —

Uvalde Massacre update: The Uvalde preliminary report is out and it is damning. pic.twitter.com/1pIjB5hVwX — mrs.LHS 🇺🇦🍀🌻☮️ (@ABPC84) July 18, 2022 We’ve gutted education financing to fund police departments just so nearly 400 Uvalde cops in full military gear could stand around while 19 children and 2 teachers were killed

Hey, Gangnam Style was 10 years old as of Friday! And Psy is still going stong – he has now released 9 albums and is on tour again this summer. Eine kleine Banjo musik A little summer banjo. Here’s a little ditty written by Alison Brown and me. Foggy Morning

The Tale of the Ten-year Old has now become a shameful part of American history for Republicans and for American media. Every conservative thought experiment about the pregnant 10 year old rape victim is more disturbing than the one before it. Maybe you guys should just admit that there’s no

The shot: From six years ago The chaser: From Friday Obviously the news agenda for at LEAST the next 72 hours is CANCELLED while we decide what we think about Justin Trudeau’s new Caesar haircut. pic.twitter.com/WXf1J6ICXs — Mike Gibbs🏳️🌈🇺🇦 (@Mikeggibbs) July 16, 2022 The shot: So this happened —

The US story of the day is the news that the Trump’s White House Secret Service deleted its text messages from Jan 5 and 6 2021. Accidentally! Yeah, sure… I would like to see some indication that the Secret Service & FBI are actually on the side of American democracy.

So I saw this tweet tonight: What line from a song really stuck with you? — Eric Alper 🎧 (@ThatEricAlper) July 14, 2022 And of course I immediately got lost in all the wonderful lyrics people posted in reply — basically, I was just watching the wheels go round

The Jan 6 committee held another hearing today – they’re taking aim right at Trump now, putting the “fun” in “fundamentally nuts”: As bad as we thought it was…it was much, much worse. — Mark Hertling (@MarkHertling) July 12, 2022 This: (Although to be fair reporters had books to write

Well, finally. Somebody in the White House seems to have taken charge of the abortion issue — maybe Harris, maybe Becerra, maybe Biden himself — and this is actually getting DONE! Biden to Dobbs critics: “Keep protesting. Keep making your point. It’s critically important. We can do a lot of

Today seemed to be a day of “Nelson” moments. There was that day-long Rogers outage: Having Rogers internet down all day meant spending the day talking with family. They seem like nice people. 🤣 — KNugent4118🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 (@knugent4118) July 8, 2022 I can’t grasp the scale of how bad this

First up, some comment about what has happened to the soul of the Conservative party in Canada: The leadership of the CPC is still theoretically up for grabs, but the battle for its soul is over — and the anti-vaxxers have won. #cdnpoli https://t.co/Txl0pNSu46 — Max Fawcett 🇨🇦 (@maxfawcett) July

First, the latest from Jolly Old England: Imagine the Titanic refusing to admit that the iceberg won. — Kathleen Donohoe (@KathleenDonohoe) July 6, 2022 The commentary is heavily implying that Larry the Cat is about to resign. pic.twitter.com/MwURn7setH — Scott Bryan (@scottygb) July 6, 2022 https://t.co/zZA13BMDEM — Grace Delanoy (@begraced)

Its been a crazy day, eh? Patrick Brown is out: So arrogant he doesn’t even show up to debate other #CPC hopefuls, this after likely eliminating Patrick Brown. @PierrePoilievre so confident he’s got the #CPC Leadership, he is skipping the Calgary leadership debate, will attend party with Brett Wilson.https://t.co/SbrOV0jZMc —

If former Sask premier Brad Wall had ever bothered to learn French, he could have been a Conservative prime minister. He had the persona of a golden boy and the Toronto suburbs might have voted for him. But as it turned out, just as well he stayed in Swift Current.

Conservative leadership update: Maybe Poilievre has hired a new PR firm not staffed by 12-year-olds. He released a video today that conservatives actually liked. As for me, it worried me — it doubles down on the Conservative “freedom” meme which actually means “be as prejudiced as you want, we won’t

A few days ago, Margaret Atwood put out a tweet (now it has 140,000 “likes”) about how America turned itself into The Handmaid’s Tail world because people couldn’t get over high gas prices. And in response I posted one of the “But Her Emails” memes, this one based on McCarthy’s

Here, I think, is the last and best word on the Convoy, from Scrimshaw tonight: "The Convoy’s a disgrace. It’s also a walking advertisement for hatred, bigotry, and indifference towards your fellow man, all things that Conservatives usually strive to avoid looking like."Me on Convoy 2.0 and the future of
