This is also what I imagine the view from Earth was when the nuclear waste stockpiles on the far side of the moon from Moonbase Alpha exploded back in 1999. Cue dramatic music.

This is a really great analysis from down under.
Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social · 7d ago“Carney’s official statement deserves to be read in full, slowly, with a beer, because underneath the diplomatic wallpaper it’s the most quietly savage document a G7 leader’s put out in years. It reads like a bank manager foreclosing on a bloke’s entire self-image & the bank manager is enjoying it.”
Watching Prime Minister Carney discussing the breakdown of the Canada-US trade deal at a press conference and just really appreciating living in a country where the leader can speak coherently and knowledgeably about what is actually happening.
You can't negotiate with someone who reneges on existing agreements and demands additional concessions after having agreed on terms for new ones. It's relentless bad faith and the best option is just to walk away.

It's tempting to compare the Hoekstra petition to Rick Mercer's drive in 2000 to collect signatures (more than 370k) to have then-opposition leader Stockwell Day change his name to Doris Day but that was all in good fun, meant to lampoon Day's party's lax criteria for referendums. *This* is anger.

If those new tariffs kick in on August 19, they apply to paper products so expect the cost of books to go up. Some people have argued, no, those won't affect Canadian publishers who use Canadian printers. But the reality is that Canadian printers sell to American buyers. 1/

This. A few months back, I saw a FB post for a local musical theatre thing and realized that the lead was going to be my best friend from middle school. So I went, and we chatted briefly after the show. It had been decades. We met up at a pub a few weeks later to catch up properly. Just reach out.

I can't stress enough the importance of making shitty things. Shitty writing. Shitty art. Shitty paintings. Shitty films. Shitty songs. Shitty sculptures. Shitty is beautiful, because it's human. There's no glory without shitty. Get out there and shit things up.
