President Zelensky received a standing ovation at the World Economic Forum in Davos after delivering a powerful address. The entire hall rose to applaud as he concluded his speech, which centered on Ukraine’s resilience, global unity, and the need to end Russia’s aggression. #Ukraine

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.
A YouTube link for those looking for it. No words.

Large protests broke out in Denmark and Greenland under the slogan “Hands off Greenland.” Crowds gathered in front of Copenhagen’s City Hall before marching to the U.S. Embassy, demanding respect for Greenlanders’ right to self-determination and opposing reported U.S. plans concerning the island.

Welcome back to Canada, President Zelenskyy.

Today in Halifax, we committed critical new support to help Ukraine end Russia’s war of aggression, and to recover and rebuild. When peace comes — and it will come — Canada will be there for the Ukrainian people. Slava Ukraini. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

This is a model for what actual masculinity should be. Men don’t need to spend more time in caves beating their chests with other men; they need to take their daughters to a meaningful thing and talk to them about it. Relatedly I think the biggest cure for toxic masculinity is platonic women friends
In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Happy Hanukka/Chanukah/Hannukah!

Because it’s a transliterated word from Hebrew, there are many different spellings for the holiday (24, according to the OED).

All are acceptable, but if it’s spelled with a “Ch,” the first sound is still “H” (cc: Smokey Robinson).

NATO is Russia’s next target, warns NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. “We must prepare for a war on the scale our grandparents endured,” he said.

As long as the West sticks to condemning and offering thoughts and prayers, nothing will stop Moscow from making that threat a reality.

Someone bought me the "Shackleton's Lifeboat" LEGO set. I'm not a LEGO guy but I enjoyed putting this together. I'm saying the person with the camera is Frank Wild.😊

In a dangerous and divided world, Canada and Europe are elevating our defence partnership.

That means more access to new equipment for our Armed Forces, more investment in Canada, and massive opportunities for Canadian workers and businesses.
