I tried to watch The Last of Us, but I couldn't even get through a third of the first episode without my anxiety spiking so hard I had to give up. It's a shame, because it looks so good.

Trump: Do as I say.
Canada: No.
Trump: Do as I say or I'll shoot myself in the foot!
Canada: Still no.
Trump: *bang* Look what you made me do! Now, are you going to do as I say?
Canada: No sir.
Trump: *bang* My pain is your fault! Do as I say or... *looks at Vance*
Canada: Oh, this should be good.

The Gulf of Mexico is the name given by its first colonizers, the Spanish and then the Europeans.

But ancient Indigenous Mayan civilization named it Chactemal, meaning "the red place."

So let's reject colonial rule and go back to it's original Mayan name.

MAKE THE GULF CHACTEMAL AGAIN!

Proud Boys Lose Control of Their Name to a Black Church They Vandalized A judge awarded the trademarked name and symbols to a Washington church to help satisfy a $2.8 million judgment against the far-right group.

Well, this is satisfying.

Killed my Amazon Prime and my Disney+ subscriptions. I know it's a drop in the bucket of resistance to American threats, but it's what I can do.

I hope that something gets resolved before the end of March. I would hate to cancel my trip to Tucson because it's too dangerous for Canadians to travel.

Support Canadian alternatives!

When Canada decides to stop providing electricity to the Americans, I decree that the lights be turned off during the Super Bowl.

The secret to biting comedy is timing.

Doesn't anyone remember when Trump repealed train regulations, which contributed to the derailment in East Palestine, Ohio? I can't be the only one who sees a pattern with the aerial collision in Washington.

Next time I see you, I'll teach you the basics!

I haven't been swing dancing in over a month. I'm rusty.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

For the first time since I've been diagnosed as having type 2 diabetes, I tested my blood sugars at 5.5. Normally, I've been testing at between 6 and 10. Feels great!

I'm guessing I would need permission to make a CD of these covers, right?

If I ever release a Ukulele cover album, it will be called "Songs that sound ridiculous on the Ukulele." It will include:
* Staying Alive (Bee Gees)
* Get Lucky (Daft Punk)
* The Look (Roxette)
* Chocolate Jesus (Tom Waits)
* Dragula (Rob Zombie)

I'm still trying to get used to this denture. I sound like I'm an old man who should be mining for gold in Dawson city.

I`m sure at some point, there will be an American who is recorded shouting "You can't do this to me! I voted for Trump! This isn't fair! Trump said he wouldn't do this to me! I voted for him!"

I'll start the clock now.

Oh insomnia... how I have not missed you.

Today is a day I've been dreading. I'm going to see the dentist to have more teeth pulled, then getting my first denture.

I'm going to get emotional. Hopefully I'll be able to keep it together until I get home, but I might lose it in the metro.

Herne, give me strength.
