The Trump Administration secrecy about the the U.S. strike makes it clear that the S.S. Minnow (or whatever that Venezuelan boat was called) was headed for Epstein Island.

I came upon this on Apple TV (I think) and thought: "oh good, finally an explanation for what happened to the Titanic."

No, what I actually thought was "Is there a fake conspiracy theory about EVERYTHING? What's the shocking news now, 113 years later - was the iceberg Jewish?"

More year-endy-ness from @theeconomistnews.bsky.social : their word of the year. It's a good choice, but I like the permutation that they finished the article with.
Personally, I plan on coining "sloptician" any moment now.

The Economist magazine has examined wealth countries' economies and ranked them, in terms of performance in the year 2025. Canadians should be pleased, but those irrationally hostile to Mark Carney's government will avert their eyes, or find excuses to complain.

The Plague of Violence against Women Almost every woman alive knows what it means to be afraid of a man, whether it’s a stranger on a dark street or an intimate in her bed.Β  The Ghomeshi case is a most notorious instance of male…

On this, the 36th anniversary of the massacre of 14 women at Ecole-Polytechnique in Montreal, Canada continues to do almost nothing to address the public health crisis created by violence against women.

Matt, I think the FIFA Pizza Prize looks very nice. Surprisingly small, though. He would've needed a Big Mac on top of that.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

The FIFA Pizza Prize is quite nice, but rather small. Trump probably swallowed that in one bite.

There is no β€œright” to refuse illegal orders.
There is a DUTY to refuse illegal orders.

Meaning there is no right to obey illegal orders.

People talk about "their money" when in fact currency is issued by, guaranteed by and protected by by the government.

If folks want to know what a world without taxes is like, they should take off their clothes and swim out alone into the Pacific. THAT's what it's like.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

The #Tennesee7th Congressional district has been rock-solid Republican for years. Democrat #AftynBehn probably won’t win today’s special election but the fact it’s even close shows how disgusted many Republican voters have become with the corrupt Trump regime.

If one immigrant commits a crime and the US President decides he wants to send millions of other immigrants away, there is only one word for that: RACISM

Canada's Rule of Law Pledge gives lawyers a way to declare their support for our basic values. If you work with lawyers, you should ask them:
(1) have you taken the Rule of Law Pledge? and
(2) if not, why not?
#RuleofLaw.
Take the pledge here: lnkd.in/eTmaYCP4

Violence against Women – Think Anew, Act Anew Posts about Violence against Women written by dkl

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. There is no scourge on earth more destructive than how men terrorize and harm women, everywhere, every day.

We should spare a kind thought for the thousands of Epsteins out there, who do not deserve association with infamy.

And to the nice JEFFREY Epsteins out there - veterinarians, hardware store managers, dentists, retired chefs, whatever, my sympathies.

If NATO members admit that Russia is already at war against them, and that the Trump Administration is a Russian agency involved in that war, current events rapidly make sense.
The first step towards solving a problem is recognizing what the problem really is.

One thing old-style conservatives like @radiofreetom.bsky.social @sykescharlie.bsky.social @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social @davidfrum.bsky.social offer to non-conservatives, is a realistic view of national security.
