Thanks for posting this! I didn’t even notice that today was the first ever ‘s’. 🤷♂️
Great nose on that kitty!
While fentanyl is deadly serious, the “crisis” of it flowing over the US border is the made-up emergency on which Trump bases his legitimate authority to levy these tariffs. Without an emergency he would have no legal basis to fuck around like this without violating our trade agreements (which he signed last time around), so it’s part of the narrative, regardless of any amount of truth to it.
The “crisis” will end only when they determine it is no longer useful to pursue these tactics and switch to some other type of fuckery. It’s just as likely that he will declare them resolved as a face-saving measure so he can stop the bleeding at home. Art of the deal!
CAVITATE should definitely be on the word list.
I fucking hate Adobe.
These fucking headlines.
Hey LA Times, how about
“Air Force conducts routine unarmed test launch of ballistic missile”
or something similar that doesn’t make me panic and think “wtf have these circus clowns done now?” Plenty of “shit-your-pants” scary headlines happening just now, no need to make up new ones just for the clicks.
This. That the Times has the balls to call this out now is really something.
Nice!
Glad it wasn’t just me!
Nice!
FYI there is also the https://madeinca.ca/ site which lists Canadian made and produced products in a variety of categories.
The ability to leverage both barcode scanning and some solid reference sites for products would be an excellent combo! Maybe a crossover episode is in the works…

Albertan here, and thank you for highlighting our cartoonish provincial government at the moment. Securing conservative governments in Alberta is never that hard, but this bunch did so with little more than shit-talking the Trudeau government, half-hearted identity politics, and batshit conspiracy theories. Very low bar.
I think the pending federal election will be a fair indicator of how much right-wing bullshit we’ve had enough of, both in Canada overall and in Alberta specifically. Trump’s full-court press into authoritarianism has been an obvious game-changer in Canada, and I think most appreciate that the stakes are much higher this time around. Flirting with the neo-nazis on the right will no longer be an option for folks like PP and DS - they have to either go all-in with Trump or make a clean break to stand a chance with most folks this time around.
Unfortunately in Alberta, there won’t be an election call until 2027, so while I would love to “expel Danielle Smith and her ilk”, short of torches and pitchforks, we will have to keep building support and bide our time.
