@MarkBourrie @deAdder No. Just assfault!😎

@deAdder Does it come with a cash prize?

The Order of Canada, a National Newspaper Award nomination and now you want to give me this. I'm really fortunate.

@JakeSherman Let’s hope he doesn’t lose his head like his namesake!

🚨NEWS: WH expected to announce that KING CHARLES II will make a state visit next month. Likely to include address to joint session.

@rickygervais Well deserved Ricky. Your constant advocacy in favour of animals is outstanding. Thank you.

Thanks to The Jane Goodall Institute UK for my “Unwavering Advocacy for Animals” Award. It’s going on the shelf!

@Martina @Acyn Alas an ass who is representative of the over 77 million voters who voted for an asshole.

@Acyn They???? As in the Iranian people???? Jennings is an ass…

Jennings: It would be fine with me if we continue to bomb them. These are the worst people in the world.

@svdate @gtconway3d Don’t be cruel!

Is it possible that he’s been confusing Greenland with Graceland this whole time?

@GreatAbysmal Very sound that Sir Humphrey!

Jim Hacker: Humphrey, I'm told there's a situation at Diego Garcia. Sir Humphrey Appleby: Only geographically, Prime Minister. Jim Hacker: Geographically? Sir Humphrey Appleby: Yes. It's still in the Indian Ocean. Jim Hacker: Humphrey, Iran fired missiles at it! Sir Humphrey Appleby: Towards it, Prime Minister. Jim Hacker: Towards it? Sir Humphrey Appleby: One missile ceased to function and the other was intercepted. So the island remains entirely where it was. Jim Hacker: I'm not worried about the island moving! I mean the implications. Sir Humphrey Appleby: Ah. Strategically speaking, the implications are extremely stable. Jim Hacker: Stable?! Sir Humphrey Appleby: Yes. Since nothing actually hit us, we can express grave concern without the administrative complications of retaliation. Jim Hacker: But the base is on British territory! Sir Humphrey Appleby: Indeed, Prime Minister. Which means we are in the enviable position of being attacked in principle while remaining uninvolved in practice. Bernard Woolley: It's what the Foreign Office calls a very tidy situation, Prime Minister. Jim Hacker: Tidy? Sir Humphrey Appleby: Yes. Untidy situations are the ones where the missiles land.

@Dailymeoww1 @el_reportero El Popo Coco is excellent at ambidextrous initial blessings! Does he/she also attend to Holy Communion or is that her meal for the day?

Footage from Mexico 🇲🇽; a ‘holy’ cat named Coco 🐱⛪ stands at the entrance of a church, seemingly blessing everyone who walks in to worship 🤲🤣 Locals say this about him: ‘Coco thinks he’s the pope of the church 🤣❤️

@GreatAbysmal Sir Humphrey to the rescue. Always ready with an appropriate answer! While great comedy, it’s far too close to the truth for comfort.

Jim Hacker: Humphrey, we have to do something about Iran. Sir Humphrey Appleby: Prime Minister, the government is already doing a great deal. Jim Hacker: Such as? Sir Humphrey Appleby: Monitoring developments, coordinating with allies, reviewing contingency plans and expressing concern. Jim Hacker: That all sounds like nothing, Humphrey. Sir Humphrey Appleby: On the contrary, Prime Minister. In diplomacy it is vital to appear active without becoming involved. Jim Hacker: The Americans are bombing things, the Iranians are firing missiles, the Strait of Hormuz is practically closed and we’re… appearing active? Sir Humphrey Appleby: Precisely. Jim Hacker: Innocent people are dying, Humphrey! Sir Humphrey Appleby: Yes, Prime Minister. That is why the Foreign Office is drafting a very strongly worded statement about it. Jim Hacker: A statement won’t stop a war. Sir Humphrey Appleby: No, Prime Minister, but it will ensure that we are on record as having been extremely concerned while it was happening. Bernard Woolley: If I may, Prime Minister — the Cabinet Office has identified six possible courses of action. Jim Hacker: Good! What are they? Bernard Woolley: We can condemn the escalation, call for restraint, urge negotiations, support our allies, assist defensive operations or participate directly. Jim Hacker: And what do they recommend? Sir Humphrey Appleby: Supporting our allies. Jim Hacker: That sounds suspiciously like participating. Sir Humphrey Appleby: Oh no, Prime Minister. Participating means fighting. Supporting merely means allowing others to fight from places that technically belong to us. Jim Hacker: Humphrey, if Iranian missiles hit one of our bases, we’ll be in the war anyway! Sir Humphrey Appleby: Yes, Prime Minister, but we shall have entered it with the invaluable diplomatic advantage of being surprised. Bernard Woolley: It’s generally considered the safest way to enter a war, Prime Minister. Jim Hacker: How on earth can that be safe? Sir Humphrey Appleby: Because if the war goes badly, we can say we never meant to join it. And if it goes well, we can say we were there all along.

@maxmeizlish @EdwardGLuce @JavierBlas Trump’s only real enemies apart from himself are a declining stock market and a rising oil price. So he again manipulates both by lying. What’s new?

@EdwardGLuce @JavierBlas The Iranians have no incentive to confirm discussions, if they happened. The market responded well to Trump‘s statement. That undermines Iran’s strategy with respect to the battle for the markets.

Strange situation where we await a statement from Iran to check whether there's any truth to what US president is saying.

@EdwardGLuce @diazbriseno Ain’t that the truth!

@pizzerobailarin Hermosillo con razón!

En México 🇲🇽 se come mejor que en cualquier otro país del mundo, y como Sonorense de Hermosillo, estos son algunos antojos que se nos atraviesan en nuestro día a día. 1. Carnita asada.

@jessicahadwin Lovely family photo. Nothing MISSED there. Au contraire, the universe unfolding as it should.

We don’t always leave spring break early, but when we do it’s because of a missed cut ✌️

@SpencerHakimian Pinewood Toronto Studios. They can replicate America from the dawn of time to tomorrow!

What Is The Cultural Capital Of The United States?

@1loriking @PamelaHensley22 About time I did the same. The Jan Hammer synth-heavy music theme always resonates deeply when I hear it.

@gcca @PamelaHensley22 The sound editing & music were so good. Really captured the time. I'm rewatvhing series again, the guest spots highly entertaining after seeing where, so many stars on way up, or way out, are now.

This scene in Miami Vice where "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins plays stands as one of TV's all time greatest cinematic sequences. It effortlessly establishes the mood and highlights just how far today's television industry has fallen. This authentic soul is gone.

@CalltoActivism B and take that pimple Bessent with him.

In response to Trump celebrating Robert Mueller’s death, Scott Bessent says Donald Trump “deserves empathy.” Should Trump: A. Get empathy B. Go F*CK himself

"The survey suggesting that 67% of Canadians want tipping to disappear misses a critical piece of context: respondents weren’t asked how food service employees would be compensated instead. If the question included whether they would accept higher menu prices to offset wages, the results would likely look very different."

@sarobertsonca The Joe Rogan schtick was boring( perhaps not so much for Rogan’s audience who generally have a hard time figuring out where Canada is on a map)but the Harvard Club of New York speech was excellent.

Tom Mulcair on Pierre Poilievre's Joe Rogan appearance: "I thought it was an outstanding piece of political communication, and it was bookended by ... frankly one of the best political speeches I've heard any Canadian political leader give on Canada-US relations in a long time."

@atrupar @Jose_deCordoba 🤮

WELKER: Do you think it's appropriate for the president to celebrate the death of a Bronze Star, Purple Heart recipient who served in Vietnam? BESSENT: Neither one of us can understand what has been done to the president and his family WELKER: But is it appropriate for the president to celebrate the death of any American citizen? BESSENT: Give what has been done to President Trump and his family, it is impossible for either of us to understand what he's been through WELKER: So you don't think there's anything wrong with a post saying, 'Good. Robert Mueller's dead'? BESSENT: We should have empathy for what's been done to the president and his family

@MarkBourrie Yes time is unkind. But on the other hand you write very well, so there are compensations in life!

(Maybe the story Canadaland is working on is about the effects of time on a 140-pound kid who, in 1974, often did 50-mile bike trips, and wilderness survival and climbed all over the Niagara Escarpment hunting fossils. Yes, time is unkind).

This is the email I got Thursday night from @JesseBrown A year ago, Ripper, my bio of Pierre Poilievre, was starting its eight-week run on the Canadian best-seller list. Never heard from him about *that*.
