The only thing that made this less painful was that he wasn’t at the game.
Going to OT. Finish this, Canada!!!🇨🇦🏒 #olympics
Ready and waiting. Let’s do this, boys!
One of the most interesting points of King Charles’ statement on Andrew’s arrest is that he referred to him as “Andrew Mountbatten Windsor” and not as “my brother”
Ilia Malinin’s FS reminded me of Nathan Chen’s SP skate at his first Olympics. Nathan came back very strong in the FS but was too far behind to medal.
Yep! Been following him since he was a kid. Loving to see him have such a great season.
It is incredible how seemingly quickly reason and political social norms (if such a thing ever existed) have collapsed.
Good grief. Canada built and paid for another bridge between Windsor and Detroit and now he is claiming the U.S. should own half of it🤦🏻♀️. He went into a big rant about how Canada has been taking advantage of the States for decades and how there is no “American content” on the bridge.
Trump is back to slamming Canada tonight, including repeating his insane claim that China is going to ban all hockey and eliminate the Stanley Cup. The man is as mad as a box of frogs.
I was one of those “grownups.” I had this album and loved it. Got to see her open for James Taylor the year it came out.
I never watch American football. I never heard Bad Bunny. I tuned in to help the ratings be high since Trump created an alternate show. I hadn't planned on paying attention, but I LOVED it; the music, the choreography, the staging. It was chaotically brilliant & a beautiful nod to Latin culture.
The first two have been on my TBR list! Have you gotten to either of them?
This one really, really hurt.
Rest well, you absolute icon.
Oh, please. Not Moira Rose. Life is brutal enough right now. Can’t we be left with the small comforts? Rest easy, Catherine O’Hara. Such a talented actress in, of course, many films and shows besides Schitt’s Creek. Deepest condolences to all who knew and loved her.
Oh FFS We are back to the “Governor” label and tariff threats again.
Even though it is 18 minutes long, I truly urge you to listen to Mark Carney’s full speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos yesterday. It’s a speech for our times. Eloquent, intelligent, brutally honest, and historic. If only our own timid leader could be this strong. 🇨🇦

Of course!
A dark blue mug with an American flag reads “AMERICA 1776 – 2026”
Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…
If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.
The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:

The crisis is real, and this is part of our effort at new approaches to supporting scholars and advancing scholarship in the (vast!) early Americas.
Sharing again and would appreciate your sharing, too. More info in the thread. 🧵⬇️

So true. I had a dream about my dog Keda the other night. She has been gone for 27 years.
I’m so sorry. I know the feeling. I’ve lost a few along the way and it is always so wrenching. They have such pure hearts and give unconditional love.
So much for not staying up for this one. 😅 I’ll pay for it tomorrow but it was worth it. Thanks #TCMParty friends #BestInShow
What a sweet face. They do leave a hole in your heart.
