I got one today too. It had legit logos for Canada Post, but felt just off. Thanks for confirming.

That's a perfect characature of the junko's at our feeder!

Ugh! Not fun at all. Hope you feel better...

Medieval history scholars are suddenly on the front lines in the fight against white supremacists | CBC Radio As the images from last month's white supremacist march in Charlottesville, Virginia, emerged, medieval scholar and journalist David M. Perry recognized the symbols many of them were using. Now, he an...

Neo-Nazi's imagine the European Middle Ages as some kind of golden age. Now historians are fighting back.

It only stopped being a retirement home for old Nazi's because they all died of old age.

Happy fish printed...

I've been getting something that looks like an antenna analyser signal 40m. my first thought was some kind if scanning radar, but I can't think of anything that would cover Vancouver *and* Victoria.

I'm in the Cheated Death Club three times over! Yeah... I'd have been done for before I was twenty.

That makes as much sense as calling homosexuals security risks because the could be blackmailed. The jeopardy being that they'll be fired if they're outed!

Happy (mostly) fish!

All your characters are are sexy and sweet! Thank-you.

I last lived in Ottawa when Charlotte Witten was mayor and remember hearing Lowell Green on the radio. He sounded unpleasant and angry even to my preteen ears. It sounds like he got even worse.

Or at the very least, accept the consequences. No vaccine, no school. No vaccine, no work.

Elbows up!

Dear Mr. Nadeau: As long as there is one upright man, as long as there is one compassionate woman, the contagion may spread and the scene is not desolate. Hope is the thing that is left to us, in a bad time. I shall get up Sunday morning and wind the clock, as a contribution to order and steadfastness. Sailors have an expression about the weather: they say, the weather is a great bluffer. I guess the same is true of our human society — things can look dark, then a break shows in the clouds, and all is changed, sometimes rather suddenly. It is quite obvious that the human race has made a queer mess of life on this planet. But as a people we probably harbor seeds of goodness that have lain for a long time waiting to sprout when the conditions are right. Man’s curiosity, his relentlessness, his inventiveness, his ingenuity have led him into deep trouble. We can only hope that these same traits will enable him to claw his way out. Hang on to your hat. Hang on to your hope. And wind the clock, for tomorrow is another day. Sincerely, E. B. White

I just stumbled across this and thought some of you might like to see it. A letter from E.B. White to a man who'd written he'd lost all hope:

I would fight like hell to keep BC in Canada. But if Cascadia were to come into being, I wouldn't leave.

Sometimes I think that all the internet has done is to give the worms under rocks a voice. ☹️

Congratulations to you both!

Alex Vriend, Daniel Tyrie, and Othman Mekhloufi. Watch for them!

Panopticon!

In the pre internet and universal communication days, I thought that humans should have stopped at the steam engine and vacuum tube level of tech. Give us a century or two to learn to handle power and communication. Now? I starting to wonder if that wouldn't be a good permanent state.

Judge it not, Heaven! Thy ministers have done it!

4 frame comic. First frame shows a set of keys, second shows the store Gummi with a banner reading, in German : Stamm und Bassermann / früher Gummi Weil. Third frame shows passersby looking at smashed storefront windows. Fourth shows a tweet by US homeland security that reads : Want affordable housing? Help report illegal aliens in your area. Call 866-DHS-2-ICE. If you are an illegal alien, you can take control of your departure using DHS.gov/cbphome . text reads : according to the Berlin Jewish museum, the nazi term "aryanization" referred to "the process of expropriation or confiscating Jewish people's property [businesses, stores, homes, land, etc] and handing it over to non-jewish ("aryan," in Nazi usage) individuals or companies, or to the state." in his book "Holocaust justice," Shoah historian michael bazyler estimates that between $230 and $320 billions (in 2005 u.s. dollars) in properties were stolen from Jews across Europe in the different waves of aryanization. the first wave, starting in 1933, involved heavy pressure on Jewish people to sell their properties to non-jewish people at a fraction of the price. after the pogroms of November 1938 ("Kristallnacht"), jewish owners were outright evicted and dispossessed. thinking about this today for no particular reason.

No particular reason.

On Gaslighting, Treason and the F-35 In another life, I did freelance news reporting for both CBC and the provincial broadcaster, Studio 2.

A recent article suggests that Canadians who question the purchase of the F-35 are emotional and driven by deep-seated anti-Americanism.
Such is the view of those promoting the "interoperability" of our planes with US forces.
What if the threat is from the US?

How To Tell You’re Being Manipulated By A Story Three rules of thumb for navigating manipulative waters.

After ICE killed Renée Good and Alex Pretti, the Trump administration tried to tell us we didn’t see what we saw with our own eyes. Shane Snow’s essay breaks down how governments manipulate media to rewrite reality—and how to spot it before it can take root.

Wow!

Read that this morning. Not impressed.
