A woman's work is never done

Note to self: put together a thread of things the New York Times says that Canadians are saying that Canadians are definitely not saying.

Album cover for “Laid” a 1993 release from the band James.

Sentences like this are why we read John:

“Imagining that Canada’s actions are anything other than a secondary input into the pudding that sits between the ears of the president is something closer to vanity than analysis.”

Parfait

Thank you!

Where can we find updated/live council voting records? Trying to navigate to specific results in the city of Ottawa's agendas and minutes web portal is an exercise in frustration 😵‍💫

We can presume this is part of what Dr Oz meant today when he said "under-babied" -- there aren't enough babies being relinquished for adoption, so limited supply vs high demand means the big expenses of adoption are in the way of families getting all the children they want 🥚

It was said explicitly in the US supreme court Dobbs ruling (by which Roe v Wade was overturned), there's not enough "domestic supply of infants" – so, restrict abortion access to force more births. They've gotta increase baby supply to reduce baby price, aka adoption! 🥚

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Can Canada Survive Donald Trump? Under assault from an increasingly aggressive and authoritarian United States, the country’s future looks less secure than at any time in postwar history.

Gift Link// Whether the US's ongoing act of political suicide evolves as a murder-suicide is of more than passing interest to the US’s northern domestic partner. Canada is extremely -- uniquely -- vulnerable. I spoke to executives, defense analysts, others. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/feat...

Well, there's a jarring sequence of words to read.

To be clear, there is never a time when condemning political violence is wrong. But Democrats need to choose their words today, under these circumstances, very carefully. In the clip below, Pritzker does just that: He condemns the shooting, he offers condolences, then he says this.

Acts of political violence aren’t acceptable. Non-political school shootings aren’t acceptable. Sacking the legislature isn’t acceptable. Military occupation of peaceful American cities isn’t acceptable. Abductions conducted in courthouse hallways by masked agents of the state aren’t acceptable.

At least 2 students shot at a Denver-area high school, authorities say | CNN At least two students have been shot at Evergreen High School in Evergreen, Colorado, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...

At the very least it’s fun to think of this as a sort of tailgate party before the big event

pretty much every small business i follow on insta have said in the last couple of days that they will no longer ship to america. so this should be interesting

America Tips Into Fascism Today is different than before.

The fascism is here. "What would you do if fascism came to America?" You're doing it.

Every generation complains of its own degeneracy, and refers to the preceding one as a golden age. --Public Ledger, 29 Mar 1839

Wisdom from 1839

I’ve long argued that in its hour of crisis, European NATO should look to its easternmost members for the leadership that’s been so lacking from its former military heavyweights. But it could look West as well, because it still has one friend across the Atlantic.

"No more elections, that's good"

A true and real quote from The President of the United States, Donald Trump.

TIMELINE: ok i hear what you're saying. but what if things got dumber

Cows run loose on Highway 400 creating udder chaos Traffic in both directions along Highway 400 was slow moo-ving Friday due to an unusual sight as a group of cows were spotted running loose near Aurora.

it is unfathomable to some people that a person can have a good life and go "damn it'd be cool if other people also had good lives we should make that happen"

Rents going up? “Don’t build apartments”

Rents going down? “Don’t build apartments”

I approve of the first half of this sentence

It's important to acknowledge when we discuss why a minority of young men are attracted to the radical right that part of the answer is "they're obnoxious".

It's not all about being dispossessed and left behind it's also twats.

This moronic Kremlin asset, banks on public ignorance again and again. Trudeau became Prime Minister in October 2015. Putin & Russia were kicked out of the G8 in 2014 after the annexation of Crimea. Trump is a relentlessly uneducable porridge-brained embarrassment.

The torture it must be to have to remain diplomatic to this fascist orange idiot. #cdnpoli

being able to hear the wheels on the Sherman tanks squeal on account of no one there is some incredible footage. A+ comedy.
