YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

A blurry photo of a small, dark hippopotamus-like creature grazing on a dimly lit indoor floor near green buckets labeled "JAM," with a spotlight casting shadows.

When the House Hippo first appeared on Canadian televisions, it seemed that everyone wanted one to appear in their homes.
This commercial became a part of the Canadian cultural landscape and even today, the House Hippo is beloved by Canadians.

A graphic reading "25 books by Black Canadian authors to read in honour of Emancipation Day" by CBC Books. 5 books are featured.

Today is Emancipation Day in Canada, across the Caribbean, and other regions - marking the day slavery was abolished in the British Empire. My book, The Book of Possibilities, has been featured on a few Emancipation Day reading lists, and I'm grateful!

Lemme tell y'all a bit about the day:

Things are so bad, the planet is calling for Batman.

Agree 100%!

The agencies responsible for protecting you in extreme weather events were cut under Trump. In times of crisis, Trump will gladly leave you and your family at risk.

I was hungry, but you passed a bill that cut funding for food stamps so billionaires could get more tax breaks. I was thirsty, but you removed environmental protections and left me without clean water. I was a stranger, but ICE agents arrested me and put me in a concentration camp surrounded by alligators. I was sick, but you cut billions of dollars from Medicaid and I couldn’t get the healthcare I needed. I was in prison, but you left me there in unconscionable conditions because you made money off of it. Whatever you did to the least of these, my siblings, you did to me.

How I think Jesus would have phrased Matthew 25 if he was preaching in America right now.

Interestingly, when he came through our section of the parade route, there was dead silence….no claps, cheers or greetings from anyone of ~1,000 Calgarians.

Well done, Mr. Lukaszuk!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Braid: Focus on separatism is all about keeping UCP in power Premier Danielle Smith is worried about separatism because losing even a few percentage points to a separatist party could defeat UCP

Alberta Separatism can't win a riding, sure can't win government. But even a fragment of support for a separatist party is a mortal threat to the UCP. Smith often seems to govern for the alone. Column. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #IndependentAlberta #yyc #yeg

Tech leaders ready launch of Canadian social-media platform Gander to buck U.S. dominance Founders aim to create alternative that addresses content, data sovereignty concerns

It’s not lost on us that a new social platform isn’t exactly top of mind. Tech execs joining the U.S. military. More war.

And here we are, grateful for everyone with us in this moment. A social platform isn’t all that social without good people supporting it.

Mastering the art of being perfectly imperfect In order to be the best at your chosen pursuit, you must bring your humanity into it

"But no happiness is as real, as the mystics have long told us, as the loss of ourselves in some activity that enfolds us within it."

My photo shows the left side profile of a head of a cave lion made of mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago (Aurignacian culture). The ivory would originally have been white in colour but is now a light creamy brown with a surface sheen, and darker patches caused by time spent buried in the ground. Carved details include mouth, nose, eyes, and ears. There is cross hatching behind the ears to indicate the mane. It measures 2.95 cm in length x 2.11 cm. On display landesmuseum, Stuttgart

Something wonderful for the weekend!

About 40,000 years ago, during the #IceAge, an ancient artist skilfully sculpted this tiny head of a cave lion from mammoth ivory. It is one of the World’s oldest known works of figurative art.
