For months, I’ve been following a Canadian ostrich farm ordered to cull its flock after a bird flu outbreak. It was a cause célèbre for MAHA activists, a MAGA billionaire, and, of course, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The trucker convoy with birds ended last night. They lost. www.msnbc.com/news/news-an...

If you're not sure why we need Indigenous Veterans Day as a stand alone day - dig through the old newspaper archives and search for "Indian Veterans". Almost every single story is like these ones, discrimination on top of bureaucratic hell. 1

This is what the Obi-Wan show should have been.
Jim Rockford, living in a trailer outside Mos Eisley, charging people 200 credits a day plus expenses
ironically what makes star wars stuff best is when it is 'something else, but also star wars'
e.g. Andor, a British political thriller but also Star Wars
the Mandalorian, an episode-of-the-week Western but also Star Wars (when it was good)

I went a third of a century accepting, on the testimony of a cartoon, that coyotes chase roadrunners before I ever saw the real thing.

A simplified US take on the Canadian budget: Carney has decided to be the FDR kind of left-wing (creating economic revival and employing many people through big public-funded works) but opposed to the LBJ kind of left-wing (Carney is paring back fed offices with redistributive functions)

As long as all of Canada is heartbroken over baseball today, I thought I’d share my ⚾️ fan heartbreak tale.
Though im old enough to remember the last time the Blue Jays won, I’m also old enough to have been an Expos fan as a boy. 👇
