Like really, it’s RIGHT THERE

Screenshot of New Testament, Matthew 5:38-39:

“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also”

This is a good example, reposted by someone I respect and admire unfortunately. Which poll? Who conducted it? Where’s a link (nothing in replies)?

Post by Al Halal cosmetics NL stating:

“Recent polling shows the number who ‘strongly approve’ of trumpy’s performance as ‘president’ is down to 15%. Now we know how many don’t know ‘dumb’ has a b.”

Poster for the 1932 film “Grand Hotel” in sepia toned black and white, showing cast members across the top and a hand holding a fountain pen writing their names in the hotel register: Greta Garbo, John Barrymore, Joan Crawford, Wallace Beery, Lionel Barrymore, Lewis Stone and Jean Hersholt.

He went out in public dressed like this?

Andrew Tate, a bald man with a beard and with sunglasses, in the process of being arrested. His hands are handcuffed behind his back. He is wearing a very tight purple shirt, unbuttoned halfway, with many gaudy silver chains. He has grey pants on that end about mid-calf and look like they’re at least one or two sizes too small. He has no socks on and leather shoes.

He looks bloody ridiculous.

This paragraph is a constant in the government’s talking points. Let’s pick it apart. Because of all the services listed, only one provides direct support to the child. 2/

The provincial government said its funding of the Ontario Autism Program has topped $1 billion this year and pointed out that all registered families, even those on the waitlists, have access to foundational family services, urgent response services, caregiver-mediated early years programs, and entry to school programs.

“I have a feeling this is going to backfire spectacularly.”

I’ve decided now on rooting for World Cup teams based on their jerseys. So who to pick - Belgium with their Magritte-inspired art, or Norway with its cool runic letters and numbers, or Morocco with the beautiful pattered collar?

The Belgian team jersey: pink orbs emerging from sky-blue and white clouds with vertical stripes and black edging around the short sleeves and v-neck collar

The Norse jersey, red with a blue cross with the intersection off-centre, with white edging on the cross and white numbers and letters that look like ancient runes

The Moroccan jersey, deep red with a green circular crest in the centre that has a white star in the middle, and a red, green and white diamond in the Islamic tradition ending the collar and short sleeves

I spent 20 minutes with Mitch McConnell this afternoon and yeah he was moving a little slow but he enjoyed some leafy greens (raw but ok whatever) and even took a bite or two of watermelon to keep cool Oh hold it No it was this guy, my mistake, I wasn’t wearing my glasses.

My timeline, it is confused

A post from CNN says “Attendees on the National Mall for July Fourth festivities are evacuating as thunderstorms surround DC.”

Directly above is a post that says “Based on the video I just saw, everybody there is completely ignoring the announcement to evacuate.”

A quote post of that post says “There is a ‘Christian Scientist with appendicitis’ joke in here about ordering MAGA to do anything in their best interests.”

Happy Birthday to Eva Marie Saint, still with us at 102, and who sported my favourite look in any Hitchcock film.

Actress Eva Marie Saint, posed between two columns with one hand on each, wearing a red-on-black floral dress with 3/4 sleeves and a boat neck, and black shoes. The wall behind her is a kind of teal color and there is a bouquet of flowers on a table

Break out the pasteis!

Picture of seven scrumptious-looking Portuguese custard tarts known as pasteis de maya. They are pastry filled with yellow custard and cooked until almost burnt on top. They are yummy.

#Portugal fans are filling my neighborhood with the most joyful noise. What a way for #Toronto to end its #WorldCup hosting duties!

It’s the same person.

Post by Donald Trump saying “My real poll numbers are the highest they have ever been. Thank you!” Only I have scratched out Donald Trump’s name and replaced it with Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s.

This is insane. I live in Toronto and the highest my electricity bill gets to is about $130-140 in a month. Whatever Americans are saving in taxes, they’re paying through the nose to insurance and utility companies.

Alisha Hamid, who works in sales, thinks that she makes a decent income but still finds it hard to stay on top of her ever-rising expenses. She is shelling out close to $600 a month for electricity at her Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey home.

From 2016, at seven years old, during the first presidential campaign, I hereby present to you, “Haunted by Donald Trump.”

My son’s drawing of Donald Trump when he was 7 years old, done in orange marker, capturing the man’s boxy shape and his angry sneer.

To paraphrase a line from a movie directed by a predator and delivered by an actor who is a predator: The greatest trick the powerful ever pulled was convincing the world trans people were a threat. Jesus wept.

Passage from article:
Savala’s devotees included a pastor from Waco who brought his own sons, ages 11 and 12 at the time, to Savala’s home beginning in 2021. According to court records, the boys were instructed to undress in the sauna, where Savala’s sexually abused them while their father was present - the conduct at the center of the charges Savala pled guilty to Thursday. The criminal case against the boys’ father is pending.

Happy #caturday from Clyde

Clyde, a ginger cat with white fir on his chest, peacefully sleeping on a light brown couch, turned slightly upside-down against a beige, light brown and green striped pillow, looking just about as content and happy as a creature could possibly be.

So Toronto has the Prince’s Gate, which also has an angel but is only 65 feet tall, so imagine this but more than twice as big… 🤢

The Prince’s Gate in Toronto, another ceremonial arch that also has extensions on each side with columns. It has two large columns in front and an angel on the top in the centre with one arm extending up. A blue car is in front of it. It is 65 feet tall, while Trump’s arch is 250 feet tall.

Thank you, NASA, for drawing my attention to something so wonderful and hopeful. Congratulations to all for this fantastic event.

Shot off my TV of the Orion spacecraft, now facing a crescent Earth in the distance after making their orbit around the other side of the moon. I have superimposed an arrow pointing at the crescent with the words “you are here” in capital letters above it.

There’s the 1998 Japanese film After Life, in which a bureaucracy exists to guide you towards choosing the memory you want to stay in for eternity…

The cover of the Criterion release
For After Life, which shows a chair facing a green wall and two windows on the top half, and five people standing beside a bare tree and looking away from us towards a blue sky with light clouds on the bottom half

This has not happened. Misinformation does not help.

Screenshot of post from record-guy59 featuring a picture of Donald Trump and King Charles in formal dress with Queen Camilla and Melania Trump behind, probably from Donald Trump’s visit to the UK. text reads:

Royal snub for Trump!
King Charles III cancels his trip to the USA due to the “illegal war” in Iran. A massive blow to Donald Trump’s diplomacy, leaving him isolated on the world stage. Is this the definitive message from allies against war-mongering “tyranny”? Do you support King Charles III’s decision to stay away from Trump during this conflict?

No source or link for this information is provided either in the post or in the picture.

Turn the hair orange and it’s a pretty good likeness

A still from an old Bugs Bunny cartoon called Shishkabugs where a fat, spoiled king demands Hassenpfeffer (a dish made with rabbit) from his beleaguered cook, who is Yosemite Sam. In the still, Sam, wearing a chef’s hat instead of his giant cowboy hat, offers the king a tray full of dishes while the King, wearing a tiny crown, red coat, white shirt and britches and sitting on a throne, scowls. Aside from his hair colour, which is black, he bears a remarkable resemblance to Donald Trump.

Respond to this with an image from a movie that always cheers you up, but don't name the movie. just share an image.

A black and white still from a film that makes me happy, showing The Beatles pressing their faces against the window of a the door of a train car with their faces positioned vertically, in this order from top to bottom: Paul, John, George and Ringo.

RIP Warner Brothers My whole life you produced stuff I loved. Now you’re less than a shell of your former self. It’s a damn shame.

My orange cat Clyde, from the front. He is sitting facing forward on the back of our tan couch, with his front paws curled up and tucked underneath his chest. There is a section of white underneath his neck that looks like a bandana has been tied around his neck. There is a space behind the couch that stores stuff like backpacks and bags and winter gear and that’s where his hind quarters are, hidden from view. He looks super content.

This didn’t happen. That’s done in the second verse of the song, which Green Day did not play. Another misinfo-spreading account to block I guess.

Post by Larry Tenney:

“NBC bleeped out Green Day saying “don’t wanna be part of a MAGA agenda!” during the Super Bowl pregame show!

Censorship so NBC doesn’t anger the adjudicated rapist, serial predator, alleged pedophile, racist pig in the White House.

PATHETIC!”

Reminds me of the Tip Top Tailors building in Toronto, which is now a condo.

Top photo: black and white picture of a large white building with huge windows and a large sign that says “Tip Top Tailors” on the top.

Bottom photo: colour photo of the same building in present day, with additional glass apartments on the top. The “Tip Top Tailors” sign has been preserved and moved to the top of the building extension.

My dad in his Alpini days, btw. I still have the cap! #olympics

A black and white photo of a young man wearing hiking boots, shorts and a military shirt, with a cap on his head that has a large feather coming out of one side. He is holding a walking stick, which would have picks to help him up the mountain. Mountains are shrouded by clouds in the background.

Full moon, Adelaide Street West, Toronto, 01/31/26 #toronto #photography #FullMoon

Full moon above a snow-covered city street in a darkening blue sky, full of bare tree branches, with a church steeple at the end and condo buildings reflecting the sunset

The t-shirt I happened to be wearing today. Also have a Queen Haters tee and an SCTV hoodie and a candle with John Candy as the Pope, all gifted to me by @imrjl.bsky.social SNL was great. SCTV was brilliant.
