Using the excuse of American Thanksgiving, I just need to post the funniest line ever said on television:   and here’s the back-story:

Historian Craig Baird is doing more interesting AI stuff — this one is from his series on The Provincial Batman: 3. Saskatchewan 🧵3/13 pic.twitter.com/RP3mWdZwqv — Craig Baird – Canadian History Ehx (@CraigBaird) November 19, 2023 Apparently this isn’t really from Campbell’s. But it should have been! Well done Campbell’s!!! pic.twitter.com/ohDBENHpCb

First, at Everyone Is Entitled To My Own Opinion, Jeff Tiedrich writes Sporky and the Space Nazi get screwed by the Wingnut Grievance Bubble with a guest appearance by the Ghost Bus Goofus I’ve written before about the Wingnut Grievance Bubble. it’s that enclosed feedback loop where lunatic fantasies, feverish

First up, the Valeriepieris circle, which is sorta fascinating. Out of a total world population of 8 billion, there are 4.2 billion living in this circle. And this is fascinating too: This blew my mind pic.twitter.com/tPzssWkyrG — Time Capsule Tales (@timecaptales) October 6, 2023 (Read more…)Coming back to earth now,

Just a whole bunch of comeuppance news tonight.  First, from Canada: Conservative MP’s are now complaining in the HoC that Liberals are calling out their disinformation on social media. Also, complaining the Speaker shuts off their microphone when they act like children. Priceless. — Tom Whittaker (@whittakertp) November 7, 2023

I think Israel is finally trying to inform the world about what it had gone through, and what it is trying to do – we’re seeing more stories about what happened to Israelies on Oct 7, and what the IDF is now achieving in Gaza.  Unsurprisingly, Israel is refusing to

Here’s some to laugh at today: It’s ok to consider Reeses Pumpkin Peanut Butter Cups as a fruit during Halloween season. — TG ☕️ (@TG22110) October 22, 2023 Canadian politicians, past and present, trick or treating as kids.

I can appreciate the sincerity of those who support the Palestinians and oppose Netanyahu. But that sincerity is being weaponized now by those around the world who hate Jews. The Israel-Hamas War is providing an excuse for virulent and violent antisemitism. Tonight, this happened: Insane footage on Russian social media

Until I read Tom Friedman’s column in the New York Times, I didn’t understand what was happening in the Israel-Hamas War – particularly why so many people around the world are demonstrating against Israel. Friedman writes Israel: From the Six-Day War to the Six-Front War: If you care about Israel, you

Here’s a post to look back on, whenever you feel the arc of the moral universe isn’t bending toward justice fast enough.  First, the NHL’s despicable decision that hockey players were not going to be allowed to wear Pride symbols anymore has been defied already – not by a big-name

These two clips are being set up as “dueling” videos. Last spring, Trudeau was talking to a right-wing teenager in Manitoba. This week, Poilievre was talking to a BC reporter while eating an apple. So here are both videos, to compare and contrast. Trudeau was, I thought, both gentle and

I saw some courageous people in this week’s news.  First of all, Heather Kuttai.  She has been one of my personal heros for the last three decades. Heather has been a Human Rights Commissioner for nine years and I’m sure it broke her heart to have to resign in protest

I’m reading lots of thoughtful items about the Israel-Hamas War so I wanted to share them.  By the way, one thing I have noticed is that posters on Twitter who say “Israel-Hamas War” are generally supportive of Israel while those who say “Israel-Palestinian Conflict” are generally not. Israel is trying

…The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere  The ceremony of innocence is drowned;  The best lack all conviction, while the worst  Are full of passionate intensity… What an awful week it has been for news.  First, the Israel-Hamas War is going to be terrible.  I can’t help but be reminded

We are finding out more now about the horror that Israelis experienced as Hamas was hunting and killing them – the stories are incredible, some courageous, others terrifying. The New York Times has a major article today about what Israeli soldiers are now finding after the Hamas terrorists ran back

There is absolutely no excuse for the horrific war that Hamas has now started against Israel.  Israel will defend itself, the Palestinians in Gaza are likely going to be slaughtered as a result. and it may well cause a wider war between the US and Iran.  The leadership of the

I have been feeling pretty gloomy latey about the state of politics, here and in the United States. Then yesterday David Moscrop gave us this piece on substack — Does Something Feel Off To You? — and it rang a bell for me:  …In the last few months, I’ve been
