never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.
He was a journalistic icon of professionalism. R.i.p., Lloyd Robertson, and thank you for your service to Canada.
Brittlestar@brittlestar.com · 23h agoLloyd Robertson has died. One of the absolute highlights of my professional life to date was during a live stream during pandemic where I got to say “Back to you, Lloyd” TO Lloyd. (picture from a book release around 2011)
No names released? Not even of the Laval restaurant that served as centre of operations? I guess we'll find out once charges are formally laid.

Bartov asks, “How is it that the appeal to humanitarianism, tolerance, the rule of law, and protection of minorities,...gradually acquired all the traits of the relentless, remorseless, and increasingly racist ethno-nationalism from which Zionism sought to liberate European Jewry?”.

Blows up people in small boats in international waters, starts major wars without Congressional approval, creates a Gestapo-like police force to put innocents in Gulag-like concentration camps, and don't even get me started about the int'l pedophile ring cover-up he was and is complicit in.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 5d agoSo many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.
"I think Netanyahu has gotten the whole world into a big problem. This is an energy crisis. ...The problem is that the world is dependent on fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are highly vulnerable to disruption by war and by tactics, which Iran is demonstrating."

Stephanie Carvin@stephaniecarvin.bsky.social · 2w agoOkay, non-economist here but the new US tariffs on Canada are just… kinda weird? Like they picked weird things to target (we have a Canadian tequila industry?!?) to go after slightly more than 5% of our trade. It is like they wanted 50% headlines but it is… targeting our honey industry?
Credit to jeffmac69 This is too funny — Premier Wab Kinew stating remove all the tariffs on #Canada and the booze goes back on the shelves and the reporter looks like a deer in headlights 🤣🤭😏
Elon Musk is a white supremacist, which used to be societally unacceptable in the USA. It should be again, there and everywhere; and anybody cooporating, colluding with, apologizing for, or unasumedly fraternizing with it or him, should expect to be held responsible for their role in accepting it.
