- Our collective roiling sense of unease and injustice has at last been crystallized into clear thought. Brilliant speech by Canada's prime minister today at Davos. Fresh, honest, eloquent, bracing.

- Great ad!
- Today's my birthday so I'm posting my favorite bird, the Tufted Titmouse. (Even if it wasn't my birthday I probably would've posted a Tuftie...they are so cute!)
- Happy Birthday!

- @aoc.bsky.social says of Mamdani victory: "A lot of people...are willing to talk about party unity when it serves them, but not party unity when it serves everybody." "We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind."
- Yeahhh! Get it, Mikie!!
