Blue Jays demolish the Dodgers!!! And since that Ontario-produced Ronald Reagan ad played between innings, I fully expect The Mad King to send the Charlie Kirk Carrier Strike Group to Lake Ontario

President Vladimir Putin went to Alaska, not to negotiate a peace agreement, but rather to put Trump in his place for openly criticizing him about the war in Ukraine.

β€œThe GOP is really trying to make it more difficult, if not impossible, for Americans to vote when they’re living abroad,” said Martha McDevitt-Pugh, International Chair of #DemsAbroad.

NEW ANGLE

Watch and decide, but I was never fully convinced he was shot in the first place. Never mind that his ear should’ve been blown offβ€”now completely healed. Or that the Secret Service took their time getting him offstage.

But from this angle: you see the photographers guided into place…

It's interesting that Paradise, Severance, and Silo are hit shows about a group of people trapped in a controlled environment by a group of rich people who are lying to them about the basic structure of their reality.

Probably says a lot about where we're at as a people!

@espinsegall.bsky.social As usual, loved your interview with @petedominick.bsky.social. I could definitely relate to your statement about now understanding how other countries could so easily get taken in by lies because that's what we in Canada see happening in the U.S. We've (hopefully) learned.

Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard An official on the administration’s antisemitism task force told the university that a letter of demands had been sent without authorization.

When a tyrant starts to stutter and sends signals that his outlandish demands were sent without his authority, you know he’s a paper tiger. That’s when you’ve gotta double down on your resistance!

There are three key facts in the Holocaust Encyclopedia produced by the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. This is the second key fact:

What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.

Poilievre Stop in Fish Plant Smells | Canadian Journalist Conservative Party of Canada election campaign stop in a fishing village in Newfoundland turns into a spectacle of party animosity towards media coverage.

So, here is an interesting piece to read, which happened in Newfoundland April 1,2025. Brought a bunch of thugs with him.

@deanblundell.bsky.social Thanks so much for your interview with @petedominick.bsky.social. I'm the "Carlo from Canada" that recommended you to Pete and I'm so glad that I did! I hope that you become a regular on the Stand Up With Pete podcast.

While we’re banning books…

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

This take is accurate. Stand Up with @petedominick.bsky.social would be a perfect example of an excellent broadcaster that could use big name boosting, with a built in audience. Ron himself went on Pete's show, it was great! Time for the party big wigs to hit the small time and lift all boats...
