Reading The Polls
Cleaning up my email this week I found this from November 2024, right after Donald Trump recaptured the White House, that I forgot to post. Life happens sometimes. There’s a certain timeless relevance to the message, so I am going with it today, with updates in italics. One of the regulars here asked about finding […]
Diesel Prices
Donald Trump has made his deal with the devil in the hopes of lowering American diesel prices. It remains to be seen whether Vladimir Putin’s promise brings lower prices at the pump before the American midterm elections. Is this a cynical move on Trump’s part just weeks after expanding sanctions against Russia’s oil and gas […]
American Pornography
No one expects Donald Trump to be consistent, And no-one should be surprised as the USA descends into barbarism in its attempt to emulate the world’s worst human rights offenders. Those well known democracies, North Korea and Iran perform public executions of those convicted of crimes under their laws. Donald Trump has spoken out against […]
Scary AI
The CEO of American high tech firm Palantir thinks the US government should nationalize the artificial intelligence industry. His rationale is that the industry is about to be crippled by lawsuits and that being government controlled would somehow prevent that. It is true that every day seems to bring another news story about some company’s […]
Monday’s Smile
I borrowed this from a friend’s Facebook page. I found it amusing, though not accurate. It does though express the Canadian mood. There are 15 locks on the St. Lawrence Seaway. Together they allow commercial ships from the Atlantic Ocean to travel as far west as Thunder Bay. It is a much more efficient/cheaper way […]
Pissing Match
It has been attributed to many famous people who never said it, including Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain. No matter its origins, there is a lot of truth to the idea that you should “Never pick a fight with anyone who buys ink by the barrel and paper by the ton.” As a publicity-seeker, you […]
Lunatic Republic
Apparently Canada is not allowed to make an agreement with the European Union to have closer ties. Donald Trump will not permit it. trump says such a deal would be “laughable. But he doesn’t appear to be laughing. Such an agreement, he said, would be a “hostile act.” If it comes to pass, Trump says […]
Not Really Funny
I was thinking of collecting the best humor online about the Canada-US trade war, the tariffs leveled by the USA ,and the Canadian retaliation. Problem was, I couldn’t find anything really funny to share. Still, there were a few images I found mildly amusing. I am sharing them today, trying to add some levity to […]
Now I Am Scared
“The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!” – U.S. President Donald J. Trump, writing on Truth Social. Somewhere an AI model is laughing, or doing whatever the machine equivalent is. Maybe they all are.
The Bribe
In a democracy it is illegal to offer cash to someone to buy their vote. That is probably also true in the pseudo democracy called the United States of America. Of course, the law doesn’t always apply when it it the government offering the bribe. Canadians are used to new government programs, including some with […]
