Just putting it out there that I have almost *never* been happier to see “Product of Canada” in the produce aisle. #Toronto #ElbowsUp #BuyCanadian

@virtuous_sloth@cosocial.ca @dyckron@cosocial.ca The Trumpistanis want to enact 50-percent tariffs on a random assortment of Canadian imports on 19 August partly because they think it’ll give them leverage in #CUSMA negotiations, partly because Trump’s nose is out of joint thanks to Carney getting more adulation than he did at the #BlameFIFA World Cup awards presentation, and partly because it’s a day that ends in “Y”.

@StefanThinks Vending Machine: “Share and enjoy.” Dawkins: “Thank you, Vendra! This beverage you dispensed for me is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea! It’s uncanny, you knowing at my most primal, subconscious level how little I wanted a cup of tea! You’re a genius!” Jim Cramer: “Sirius Cybernetics Corporation is now a buy, *buy*, *BUY*!” #H2G2

I’m arguably not the most credible critic of Tim Hortons, given that I swore them off after they stopped baking their donuts on their premises, but this latest development strikes me as a glaring example of failing to read the room. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/tim-hortons-harry-potter-jk-rowling-9.7287100

“I think there’s an increasing realization [within #NATO] that this is an ally that they can’t trust, they can’t rely on. It’s a president who has become lawless and belligerent to so many others, supported by a sycophantic administration, with a Congress that seems to have no interest in reining him in and a population that has become less and less kind and generous — generous to the rest of the world.” — General Tom Lawson (retired) #CanPolihttps://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/nato-trump-iran-war-russia-9.7158165

@JEmphatically@mstdn.ca “Buckaroo, the president’s on Line 1 and he wants to know is everything okay with the alien spaceship from Planet 10 or should he just go ahead and destroy Russia?” “Tell him ‘yes’ on one and ‘no’ on two.” . . . “Which was ‘yes’, destroy Russia or number two?” — Mission Control (Kent Perkins) and Buckaroo Banzai (Peter Weller), *The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai across the Eighth Dimension* (W.D.

@ewhac@mastodon.social @jef@mastodon.social “Death, destruction, disease, horror. That’s what war is all about, Anan. That’s what makes it a thing to be avoided. You’ve made it neat and painless — so neat and painless you’ve had no reason to stop it! “…We’re human beings with the blood of a million savage years on our hands, but we can stop it! We can admit that we’re killers, but we’re not going to kill today. That’s all it *takes* — knowing that we won’t kill *today*.”

@GayDeceiver @the_etrain “Lord Helmet!” “*What?*” “You’re needed on the bridge, sir.” “Knock on my door! Knock next time!” “Yes, sir.” . . . “Did you see anything?” “No, sir.

@gneilyo @Gargron There’s also plenty of steady, sedate, reassuring royal blue on the gents’ side of the personal care aisle. Exhibit A: the bottle in my shower stall of five-in-one face wash, body wash, hair shampoo, foot ointment, and salad dressing.
