Turkish President Erdogan's message to Israel-
"If Israel doesn't stop playing with fire and creates hurdles for peace process in the region, we will make sure Israel learns a good lesson. Any attack on Lebanon and Iran now will be considered an attack on Turkey" #cdnpoli

I've honestly given up on the US, not just the Dems.

Here's the thing - the RestoftheWorld is watching to see what Americans will do, but we're reasonably confident that it'll be the same old same old nothingburger.

I honestly don't believe that there's anything powerful enough to get them off their duffs. I wish I did.

Wondrous

Right?

Mother of pearl, but people are funny af

Could I love Richard Kadrey more than I did?
Apparently the answer is YES.

YAY! I look forward to this every year - I've found some incredible authors through WiSF&F Month!

Fakery, but funnyaf!

PM of Denmark Mette Frederiksen on Mark Carney: "The speech you gave in Davos, I have never experienced anything like this. I mean, people in Denmark have been talking about, they have been reading your speech. And I don't think I have ever heard so many reflections on a speech from a colleague."

Ontario to introduce bill exempting Premier, cabinet from FOI requests Government’s proposed changes follow its loss of court battle over call logs for Ford’s personal cellphone

I am begging my fellow Canadians to take a break for a second from obsessing about American corruption to focus on our home grown versions.

Ford is a corrupt crony goon who has done countless shady backroom deals. He wants to remove one of our most powerful tools to hold him accountable. Fuck that!

Gail is right about a lot of things, and wayward souls should listen to her more often to help mend their ways.
She's especially deep in rightitude about this.

We would be calling for the destruction of any other country that does the kind of evil Israel has done, and is doing.

We’ll soon be measuring the Pentagon by the number of countries it’s NOT striking.

My photo shows the front of a warm-yellow coloured Minoan clay flask, hand painted in black with a frontally depicted octopus. The flask measures 27 cm (about 10.5 inches) in height. It has a short spout at the top with a small loop handle at either side. The octopus is swimming diagonally with its eight writhing, sucker-lined arms covering the whole surface of the flask. It stares out at the viewer with wide, almost cartoon-like eyes. Additional motifs include sea urchins, tritons, small rocks and seaweed. Minoan decoration depicting sea motifs is known by scholars as the ‘Marine Style’. The flask was excavated in 1903 at a Bronze Age settlement site at Palaikastro. The Palaikastro excavations, carried out between 1902 and 1906, were run by R. Bosanquet and R.M. Dawkins from the British School of Athens. The flask is part of the collections at Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Heraklion, Crete.

Marvellous 3,500 year-old Minoan clay flask decorated with a wide-eyed octopus 🐙❤️

What OpenAI just agreed to is positively horrifying, on an unimaginable scale actually

Oh, loved her writing and completely forgot about this one! Thank you

Bullshit. Not a goddamn thing has changed.

This is why nobody trusts The New York Times.

Carney reiterates call for Canadians to buy and build local as Trump threatens ‘immediate’ tariffs - NOW Toronto President Trump is threatening Canada with an “immediate” 100 per cent tariff if it follows through on its deal with China.

Hey Canucks and friends!

Boycott any and all American products - you can find alternatives either from here in Canada or from our actual allies!

It is 100% justified to hate bullies.

Their whole fucking thing is punching down.

White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

So just a reminder that invading Canada would destroy the US, too.

Vive le Canada and the various insurgency actions I want to say but fear I might be banned from bsky for 72 hours.

How do we convince the government to stop funding American-owned media outlets in this country? We should not have to pay to keep this rag (and the many just like it) afloat, especially when there are so many other *Canadian* priorities that could use the money.
