Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride.

"Trump says US being 'invaded by filthy air' as he threatens Canada with tariffs over wildfires"

Some Canadians say they have been invaded by "Filthy spewing Trumpies" for years.

"" Secretary of State Marco Rubio also broke into laughter after Trump reacted to NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte calling Trump as “daddy.” His comments came after Trump said Israel and Iran “don’t know what the f--k they’re doing”

“Daddy has to sometimes use strong language,” Rutte said, referring to Trump’s use of an expletive.

“Every once in a while, you have to use a certain word,” Trump added, as Rubio laughed uncontrollably in the background. ""

SNL skits galore

"At one point, Trump referred to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as the “secretary of war,” and said that the United States changed the name of the War Department to the Department of Defense, in 1947, when the country became “politically correct.”

“It used to be called secretary of war. Maybe for a couple of weeks we’ll call it that, because we feel like warriors,” Trump said, as Hegseth stood behind him. "

SNL material

"Marco Rubio's grandfather was detained and ORDERED deported in 1962 after reentering the U.S. without a visa. He was paroled, but with no records until 1966, it appears he lived here UNDOCUMENTED until gaining legal status under the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966."

Marco Rubio knows not his own history.

B.C. cyclist's clever Strava drawings:
"Perfect intersection' of art, fitness and road rash
When B.C.'s Janine Strong got into road cycling in 2019, she had no idea it would lead her down the path of Strava art: the creation of massive GPS-tracked sketches around the world."

See Ya later Alligator

Mark Carney is not a politician.
Canada doesn't need another politician.
Canada needs an intelligent, experienced, well respected, competent leader.
Carney is that person; Poilievre was/is the furtherest thing from that requirement.

The people of Mr. PP's riding knew him best; knew he needed to go; not the man for now.
Too many Canadians believed PP's nonsensical one note campaign;

Despite that lack of judgement by some; Canada is thankfully in good hands!

".... we've made "machines that can mindlessly generate text, but we haven’t learned how to stop imagining the mind behind it." One potential tonic against this fallacy is to follow an Italian MP's suggestion and replace "AI" with "SALAMI" ("Systematic Approaches to Learning Algorithms and Machine Inferences"). It's a lot easier to keep a clear head when someone asks you, "Is this SALAMI intelligent? Can this SALAMI write a novel? Does this SALAMI deserve human rights?" "

no sane Italian would have a coffee right after having consumed a salad with EVO on it. Likewise no Italian would ever ever have EVO in a coffee!
