Came across this photo from probably over 20 years ago. This was me pretending to be Jesus.
I say this without any ounce of irony… …This photo is now iconic:
On the face of it I'm not a fan of retaliatory tariffs because it becomes a tax on Canadians. However, I am also a spiteful prick when I feel wronged, so fuck it. They should be targeted first towards goods from red states. edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

American EDC guys are hilarious. "Here's my gun, it's small and easy to hide. I carry a tourniquet and my plastic knife so I can get through metal detectors with it..." These same guys will say they're disappointed Trump tricked them. I dunno man. You just seem paranoid and stupid as fuck.
I changed my mind. Kick this bitch out.
@pud333.bsky.social · 2w agoWhile I can understand why people want him out of the country - He certainly shows no desire to even pretend to be building bridges - Kicking out the US ambassador is a really big deal and politically explosive. I wouldn't go that far just yet. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
It's rare when my kids choose a restaurant I want to eat at, so I took advantage of it. Super creamy and spicy remen with numbing oil. Delicious.
Father left 7 yr old behind because he was tired and continued hiking with the eldest son. Unacceptable. I've been hiking with my children their entire lives and in these situations a parent has to be prepared to carry the child or turn back. FYI: Safer to turn back. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Father leaves 7-year-old son alone on Mount Fuji to continue hike
The man had taken his two boys on the trip but is said to have left one behind when he got tired.

Do you know what makes this round of 50% tariffs really stupid? The new tariffs affect 5% of cross border trade. 5. This is how petty Trump is. His main goal is to make Canada the 51st state at least economically by demanding restrictions on who we trade with. Lol, no.
@pud333.bsky.social · 21h ago3 things the US tried to do at the last minute: 1) Change scope of tariffs on Canadian auto content. 2) Restrict our ability to make new trade deals with other countries. 3) Restrict our ability to protect our language and culture. We draw the line at our sovereignty. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
We're going back to the island tomorrow to camp and I was going through the checklist my wife made for me. She's funny. I don't have that many knives. I have 4. They're usable for life, and each for specific situations and purposes. Only 2 would be considered all-purpose. I only ever bring 2.
trade war with Canada is the worst because obviously Canadians are mad about it and obviously they're mad at Americans about it and they're totally right on both those things and also I am an American

Journalist: Why does it feel like, today, Mark Carney is going to war? Trade war? Carney: Because we were attacked. Yes. I'm glad he's speaking in this way.

I have to keep reminding myself that I don't want to be someone later that thinks "I'd give it all up for 5 more minutes with my children." Especially when I'm doomscrolling. It's like, "Hey idiot. You have that 5 minutes right now and you're doomscrolling?"
Saw someone complaining how a husband made $400K a year and his wife still drove a KIA. Yeah. Because a KIA is a perfectly good car. It's a waste of money to buy an expensive car. If you make a lot of money and spend a lot unnecessarily, you're not winning. Nobody gives a shit about your car.
No deal. Negotiations didn’t fail, they captured exactly how far apart the positions are, how untrustworthy a partner the US has become, and how much Canadians are ready to bear to stand up against this fascist bullshit. Finally.
The Associated Press@apnews.com · 2d agoBREAKING: The U.S. is imposing 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian products after last-ditch negotiations failed. Canada promises to match the tax.
We can take it. I believe Canada is more cohesive than the Americans are. But Simon is right. This will hurt.
Simon Little 🍁@simonplittle.ca · yesterdayIf you've been lapsing in your commitment to buying Canadian, it's time to triple down. As much as 'no deal is better than a bad deal' is true, this is gonna hurt.

Summer family movie night. Wife's choice. She chose yet another Melissa McCarthy movie. I think this is the 4th one this year. Someone save me. Please.

Grilled salt and pepper haddock tonight. My youngest child hates it but I don't care, she hates everything that's not pizza. 🍻
1) Yes. That's spam. 2) Don't read them. I'm fucking serious. I don't, unless it is a specific email from my child's teacher to me. Eg: She stabbed the inside of her nose with scissors. (True story.) 3) I only read those and their report card emails. Everything else is in the school schedule.
