I've been thinking about this. Carney's references to the US in his Davos were really just the same things their own administration has been boasting about for months. But with them, no perceived slights go unpunished.
www.cbc.ca/news/politic... from @aaronwherry.bsky.social
Screenshot of CBC story about Mark Carney's Davos speech: "But then it is necessary to ask whether Carney's remarks in Davos were needless, pointless, unjustifiably provocative or insulting — whether it was simply or primarily about scoring "cheap political points." One might also ask how much of the speech — or specifically which parts — the American administration would disagree with."

"No one heard anything, no one saw anything, there are no witnesses" is what the mobster in the movies says when he's clearly hiding something.
Screenshot from the story that says: Fico took to X on Wednesday, saying: “I must emphatically reject the lies of the POLITICO portal about how I assessed my meeting with US President D. Trump at an informal summit in Brussels. No one heard anything, no one saw anything, there are no witnesses, but nothing prevented the POLITICO portal from coming up with lies.”

“Man's inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn!
…
Yet, let not this too much, my son,
Disturb thy youthful breast:
This partial view of human-kind
Is surely not the last!”

This quote really gives off sexual predator vibes.

Quote from US President Donald Trump referring to Venezuelan Vice-President Delcy Rodriguez: "'We'll do whatever you need,'" Trump quoted Rodriguez as saying. "She really doesn't have a choice."

I've covered about a dozen municipal councils over 20 years and I think this is the first time I've ever seen Santa make an appearance. Yesterday at Norfolk County council

Trump’s first year back in office has produced just one major piece of legislation, a massive package of tax cuts and energy deregulation — the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” as Trump dubbed it — which Republicans passed using a budgetary maneuver that circumvented the filibuster and allowed for passage with just 51 votes. He has not outlined a major legislative agenda for the rest of his term, governing largely by executive orders.

Anyone know how to turn of the constant AI prompts from Adobe? I turned off all the AI settings I could find, and yet it keeps asking how it can help, even though I thought I was fairly clear with it how it could help.
Screenshot of a conversation with Adobe's AI assistant after it asked how it could help. Human: "You can't. I don't want to use AI assistant, and I don't want prompts to use it every time I open a PDF." AI response: "The document does not provide any information about disabling AI assistant prompts in a PDF viewer or Adobe Acrobat. For assistance with this issue, you may need to consult Adobe's official support or settings documentation"

At least they're doing a good job of beating the Nazi stuff.
Screenshot of a Twitter reply saying: "Our President needs to his own personal security team to be around him. There’s Marines stationed at the WH so it makes sense to have a Special Forces unit as his security."

Not good for Toronto and Detroit fans #MLB #BlueJays #Tigers
Chart showing odds of who will win MLB's AL Central division. Cleveland's chances of winning has skyrocketed, but Detroit's has plummeted. Chart showing odds of who will win MLB's AL East division. Toronto's chances of winning has fallen, while New York's has risen.

There's probably more evidence for that claim than Trump's
www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/...
Consumption of aspartame, saccharin, acesulfame k, erythritol, sorbitol, and xylitol was associated with a faster decline in global cognition, particularly in memory and verbal fluency domains. Consumption of combined LNCSs in the highest tertiles was associated with a faster decline in verbal fluency and global cognition in participants without diabetes and faster decline in memory and global cognition in participants with diabetes.

Now we have to worry about violence against wontons? Or is it violence by wontons? Violence using wontons? #CDNpoli

"As we see every day in the east of Ukraine, the threat of naked aggression and wonton violence in the Euro Atlantic region — it's no longer theoretical, no longer just a remote possibility," Robertson said.

All Vegemite should be non-compliant, imo
Earlier this year, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) told Leighton Walters, an Australian-Canadian dual citizen who owns the Found Coffee chain located in Toronto and Guelph, that the batch of Vegemite he'd imported to sell at his stores was non-compliant with Health Canada regulations.
