And THAT, gentle reader, is why she's a legend.
A rube named Karoline Leavitt, who holds the title of White House Press Secretary, recently said that Cher's activism is "...irrelevant, outdated, and rooted in a world that doesn't exist anymore." Cher's respsonse: "Let's get real for a second, honey. Karoline Leavitt, Born 1997. Former White House assistant - tenure: eight months. I've had wigs that lasted longer than that. Lost two congressional races - both by double digits. Hosts a podcast with fewer weekly listeners than my cat's Twitter account. Advocates 'free speech,' yet blocks anyone who challenges her. And her latest accomplishment? Calling a woman who has topped the charts in six different decades 'irrelevant,' while trending for all the wrong reasons. Baby girl, I've been fighting for rights, touring the world, and reinventing myself since before your parents went to prom. I've faced critics louder, harsher, and far more meaningful than anything you can type. And yet, here I am. Still here. Still singing. So if you want to talk about relevance... Sweetheart, take a seat."

Happy birthday to Kiefer Sutherland, born on this day in 1966!
The son of Shirley Douglas and Donald Sutherland, and the grandson of Tommy Douglas, he has a star on Canada's Walk of Fame, a Golden Globe and two Emmys for his acting work.
A middle-aged man with short light brown hair turning gray, a full graying beard, and a slight smile stands in front of a light blue backdrop with partial text "ALAWAYCON" visible. He has fair skin, light-colored eyes, and is wearing a black V-neck sweater. The photo is a close-up head-and-shoulders portrait taken at what appears to be a convention or fan event.

There are 400 Canadians including toddlers who have been kidnapped by ICE. Amnesty International is now reporting on the use of torture at the detention facilities. This is the march of American fascism.

On this day in 1859, ground was broken on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The first stones were laid on April 16, 1860. Construction was paused in the early-1860s due to a public inquiry over the cost overruns on the project.
Construction finished in 1876.

The large Gothic Revival stone building features a prominent central Victoria Tower with pointed arches and scaffolding at the top, flanked by steep dormer roofs and multiple smaller turrets. The foreground shows a snowy construction site with wooden scaffolding, temporary sheds, piles of materials, debris, and a narrow-gauge railway track running through the site. The ground is partially covered in snow, indicating winter conditions.

These blockades also pressure the government and EU to act and draw national attention. #Farmers are demanding timely support, tax relief, and transparency in subsidy distribution, showing the severity of their economic hardship and the need for sustainable farming solutions.

Greek #farmers are protesting by blocking roads, highways, and cities because delayed EU farm subsidies, high costs, low product prices, and livestock/crop losses are threatening their livelihoods. They want fast financial aid and fair policies to continue farming.
