Watching the decorations go up. Lilibet says “Merry Caturday”.

Scott is a fine actor, but Alastair Sim still has the definitive portrayal of Scrooge. The scenes following his awakening are unequalled.

My XC70 lasted 19 years and 200K miles+. Best car ever.

Is this right? If just one more Republican House rep signed on, the 218 threshold would be achieved. Then, knowing they ultimately will have to go on record re Epstein files, House Republicans force Johnson to recall so as not to be seen as having enabled a futile stalling tactic.

I know the number. It’s about a foot long.

Credit where due: the Dodgers have a classic dynasty team. But the Blue Jays made baseball fun to watch again.

I don't have uncommon genetics.
I never was very athletic.
Now it's all aches and pains
And whatever remains
Is either worn out or prosthetic.

Meanwhile, we find partners we can trust to keep their word.

Tariff/trade war reminds me of the anecdote about two men running from a bear. We🇨🇦 don’t have to suffer the pain forever; we only need to stand it longer than the American public. Much lower bar.

Canada here. 🇨🇦 No deal. But we will take 3 distinguished Harvard academics. Thanks.

As bad as it's getting next door
It's now that the True North can score
Academics who flee.
Like the way U. of T.
Landed Stanley, and Snyder, and Shore!🎓

U.S. authorities closing Canadian access to historic library that straddles Quebec-Vermont border A small town in southern Quebec says American authorities have decided to close the Canadian access to an historic library that sits on the border between the two countries.

Even when we are on social war footing, Canadians believe in the importance of being polite.
Considerate shoppers make sure to spare the next shopper from having to determine if a product is from the USA.

Can a Canadian retailer legally refuse to accept foreign (U.S.) currency as payment for goods or services? Asking for a friend.

We had them. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau sent them back to the U.S. in the 1970's. Proliferation, which we have always opposed, helps no one.

Krasnov doesn’t think trust has value.

The rogue President has always envied Obama’s Peace Prize. In the unlikely event he is able to coerce Ukraine into surrender, I hope the Nobel committee remembers that appeasement never slowed Hitler’s expansion, and it won’t stop Putin. Hold off the accolades and ignore his inevitable whining.
