Of all the news in this NYT survey of sitting federal judges - incl 47 of them think the SCt is mishandling its emergency docket - maybe the biggest is that 65 sitting fed judges (37D, 28R), folks circumspect for a living, responded to a NYT survey. Stunning. And a sign that something is very wrong.

The idea that people are so self centered that “it doesn’t matter until it happens to me attitude” ~ disgusts me.

On Oct. 11, 1979, the first episode of the revival of The Littlest Hobo debuted on CTV. Based off a 1958 movie and 1960s TV show, it aired for six seasons and 114 episodes.
With its famous theme song, it is beloved by generations of Canadians.
This is the story.

A collage featuring the title "The Littlest Hobo" in bold yellow letters, with four images of a German Shepherd dog: one sitting at a desk with papers, one standing near trees, one near a brick wall, and one in a natural outdoor setting with greenery, all set against a black background.

If you are an American, your heritage is either Native American, slave, refugee, or immigrant. That's it.

I try not to internalize vaccine refusal as a failure on my part. Rather, I leverage this as an opportunity to have a conversation about the vaccine I am offering and answer question the person may have. This hopefully plants a seed for more favorable outcomes in future visits.

In clinic today only 1/8 folks agreed to flu vaxx. Some days are like this. The reasons for refusal:
" the shot makes me sick"
" I have weekend plans I don't want anything to mess that up"
" I don't think I need it"
" I have never had the flu"
" there are too many shot doc"
" Let's do it next time"

Oooh, visit Cape Breton for some “awesome” butchered French …

Isle Madame = Aisle-ma-damn

Boularderie = Bull-ar-dree

Petit Étang = Pah-teet Ah-tang

And my personal favourite:

L’Ardoise = Lord-ways

🤣

I thought that it was pretty much only “Tronna” if you’re *from* there, but Toronto in most other parts of the country.

This alone should get him impeached and subsequently prosecuted and it’s barely even a story

🚨 Do ICE have MRE provisions? Oh, no. That’s a damn shame. All that income and no place to buy a meal. Hey, I know what they can eat… 1/2

Canadians are ambidextrous measurers.

😊

#Canada
Americans: I use miles and pounds
Europeans: I use kilometres and kilograms
Canadians: [snorting a line of assorted measuring systems] I'm 5'8, I weigh 150lbs, horses weigh 1000kgs, my house is an hour away and I drive 80 km/h to get there, I need a cup of flour and 1L of milk

I think it's true not in the sense of "secret folder with the Actual Plans" but like "the project of imperial expansion and surveillance has its own internal logic and ai/ data centers follow it"
