Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Diane Keaton made The Godfather, one of the greatest films ever made, work. And she did so much more over more than five decades. @sonnybunch.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/diane-keat...

Diane Keaton, 1946–2025

The leading lady of the 1970s.

I’ve maintained that this was about creating forced cheap labour.

Hey @seekingsanity33232.bsky.social the latest WNBA viewership numbers continues to outdraw some men's leagues in the US. Average viewership this season is nearly double that of the NHL's U.S. viewership last year. #WNBA

Riders#1 @seekingsanity33232.bsky.social · 2d

Apparently tsn thinks that we care about the WNBA final. I'd like to see a poll on that.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

On Friday @whigstandard.bsky.social, read my interview with @cathmckenna.bsky.social, former minister of environment & climate change. We discussed the disproportionate impact of the climate crisis on women. We also talked about misogyny, supporting women in politics, & toxic social media.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

Again Wally, go FY. This incident happened in Alberta, not in Ontario. Regardless of where it happened that driver is at fault. I hope they find them and I hope he has to be accountable for his actions. And that kid I hope she’s OK. And again Wally, FU.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.
