being a medieval peasant was hard, but at least they didn’t have the news getting beamed into their skulls every hour of the day. if the Archbishop of Canterbury freezes to death while crossing the Alps, that’s for the king to worry about in six months.

Well done, Canada. 🇨🇦

Your citizens stood on guard for thee.

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession.

Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months.

Gotta be some kind of record.

One thing that I was thought was revealing about the divisions within Canada:

When Carney acknowledged Poilievre's hard work on his campaign in his victory speed, the crowd of Liberals cheered.

When Poilievre mentioned Carney in his concession speech, there was loud booing.

the enduring mythology that trump is remotely religious much less catholic

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

But we're going to have beautiful empty shelves and it's something I think you'll be seeing very soon. We won't be the country of clutter anymore. [doing accordion hands] it's called minimalism. Ok?

Surround yourself with people that will stand by you when you are right and stand up to you when you are wrong. This is not about running. This is about running.

The true consequence of decades of near zero interest rates is now a bunch of glue eaters with the IQ of potted plants have become extremely wealthy and are going to use their influence to unravel the economy because they don't understand how a single thing works.

Pierre and Jenni: Get us our mid-day mimosas and get back to printing t-shirts!
