I know how Gordie Howe would respond to an extortion attempt. 😉 #ElbowsUp
(No AI was used to create this composite image. Much like the Gordie Howe International Bridge itself, it is the product of Canadian-US design and construction, courtesy of this proud dual 🇨🇦🇺🇸 citizen.)
In case we didn't already know that the rule of law no longer applies in the USA.
There are no penguins in Greenland. They are native to the Southern Hemisphere and are usually associated with Antarctica, which is about 10,000 miles away.
The only thing that might be real about this photo is that apparently penguins and Donald Trump have the same size feet.
Be safe!
Well, it's official - I'm closer to 60 than to 50! 😮
Happy to still be here, though, whatever my age. Today was a good day. More good days still to come.
KIMMEL: “I’ll give Trump all these awards I won in exchange for leaving the people of Minneapolis alone.”
He also got a visit today from the Florida Panthers, who gave him a jersey ane two Stanley Cup rings because, like Machado, they also know that Trump likes shiny things even more than ADHD-riddled squirrels do. Just one more reason to hope they miss the playoffs this year.
Trump whined so much about the Nobel Peace Prize that the winner gave him the medal today in an obvious attempt at flattery with the two-pronged goal of a) getting him to finally shut up about it, and b) convincing him to let her help run Venezuela. (Neither of these things are likely to happen.)
The No. 1 song on January 14, 1984? For the sixth consecutive week, it was "Say Say Say" by Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson! Let us now recall these immortal words from Casey Kasem, as true today as they were then: Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars. 😉👍
Listening tonight to an American Top 40 replay from this week in 1984 and I was reminded that this song (rising to its No. 29 peak this week) deserved to be a much bigger hit on this side of the Atlantic.

This date in music history: On January 11, 1963, The Beatles released "Please Please Me," their second single on EMI's Parlophone label. It quickly became their first Top 10 hit, and on the New Musical Express chart dated February 27, it became their first No. 1, staying at the top spot for 2 weeks.
Did you ever notice that you never see Donald Trump and Jabba the Hutt in the same place at the same time? 🤔
You lying piece of shit. I chaired the Minnesota DFL for all three of your runs here. I watched you lose. Three times. Minnesota never bought your con. And now, as Chair of the DNC, I’m looking forward to ending Trumpism for good in 2028 — not with lies, but with votes. Again.
The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.
Abolish ICE. Abolish the DHS. Reform CBP in its entirety. Investigate and if necessary prosecute every member of the Trump regime for crimes against humanity. The continuing existence of the country and of the civilized world depends on how seriously we meet this moment and what we do about it.
When ICE murders a white woman in broad daylight and casually walks away, and then when the president and his regime lie through their teeth in order to excuse the crime, it should be obvious that there's literally no limit to what they'll do to the rest of us. No one is safe. RIP Renee Good.
Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.
Holiday movie season is over, but this quote from Holly Gennero to Hans Gruber seems appropriate here:
"After all your posturing, all your little speeches - you're nothing but a common thief."
The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made
So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.
We have a little bit of everything going on or coming up weather-wise in Guelph. 😵💫

P.S. Everything Trump has said about Rob Reiner today only proves everything Reiner ever said about him.
He predicted that he'd be remembered mainly as Meathead (aka Mike Stivic) from All in the Family, but the truth is that Rob Reiner was a giant, giant talent as an actor, writer, director, and producer who grew up in the shadow of a legend and then became one in his own right. RIP.
Every one of these seven films is so different from each of the others. I'm sure other directors could have strung together as many classics in a row as Rob Reiner did, but to do it in seven distinct genres? Inconceivable!
John Oliver really was not kidding about the overwhelming rebellious power of just saying “Fuck you, make me.”
Next up - Trump gets his face on his very own evil volcano lair.
The Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace is right up there with the Derek Zoolander Center For Kids Who Can't Read Good.
I'm actually starting to wonder if Trump's own bureaucracy is trolling him with fake flattery. Then again, is anyone in the Trump regime really that clever?
Ironic and totally not surprising that American-owned Postmedia takes federal government funding and uses it to criticize (among many other things) the ongoing government funding of the CBC.
I'm curious - has the government ever explained why Canadian taxpayers are underwriting Maple MAGA?
Ah, yes, this explains a lot - none of it good.
