Pierre Poilievre has been MIA.
The PM is travelling the world to meet allies.
Conservative backbencher Jamil Jivani is telling MAGA media Canadians are having a "hissy fit" over threats to our sovereignty.
Where's Pierre?
He's working on his abs.
Not serious this guy.
Not serious.
Je suis en train de fouiller pour identifier un particulier en Nouvelle-France. Je tombe sur ça:
"Le 8 mai 1670 c’est la visite du coffre du chirurgien major Guillaume De LOL du navire le Saint-Pierre."
I confirm.
Mon petit dernier de l'année pour mon blogue:

In today's digital age where copyists are no longer strapped to a table to handle ungodly amounts of physical type characters, the latinism op. cit. needs to die.
There, I said it.
La Revue d'histoire de la Nouvelle-France m'a interviewé!

"Les manchettes d'aujourd'hui sont n'importe quoi. Dans le bon vieux temps, on parlait des vraies affaires"
Les manchettes du bon vieux temps:
Question for anyone into #Culloden ( @jennscott1485.bsky.social or otherwise): If I'm a visiting historian in Edinburg, what's a good recommendation on how to visit Culloden? Tour group? Bus? I want to visit the visitor center and not just rush.
Q. Why does Marie Antoinette look a bit grim-faced?
A. Because it's Bastille Day. Holiday in France today to commemorate the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789 in the French Revolution.
In a moviescape poisoned by rampant cynicism, the new Superman is a breath of fresh air. The hopeful legacy of the Reeves' version is back!
And yet, I'd trade it all to be back in my highschool computer lab, marvelling at how I could reach beyond my tiny isolated hometown and chat freely with people also interested in aquarium fish, monsters, movies... We used to flee reality online. Now we use reality to flee the Internet.
Jesus I feel you so hard.
I'm also tired of being told to be grateful. For what? No one handed me anything. I worked my ass off for what little I got back. Still do. We deserve every scrap the last generation left us.
I can't get enough of his little dance.
Fullbright maybe?
He did produce it... But poor Richard Donner being left behind by journalists...
Making new business cards.
Thank god for my last minute proofreading: apparently you CAN misspell Ph. D.
(for the curious: I wrote Phd. D.)
My Lilo & Stitch review
Original L&S animated movie > L&S Remake > All the other Disney remakes.
Now, can Disney finally get back to original programming?
Quand je dis que l'i.a. nous abrutis, c'est pas des farces.
À quoi ressemblent mes étudiants quand je les oblige d'aller à la bibliothèque et de lâcher l'internet deux secondes en consultant "des antiquités"...
THE DOOR.
Reminds me of this:
I have the much more ambitious goal of stalking senior academics to drink free wine post-conference.
Sounds like the conference will rhyme with fun ;)
I never tire of the dignified poetry of Welle's observations on mankind.
"Go on singing. Maybe a man's name doesn't matter all that much."

@stephpettigrew.bsky.social you're such a bad influence.
