The US Ambassador to Denmark recently had to disguise himself as a Danish football fan at a carnival just to go outside without being spat on. This is what happens when your job description is "steal our neighbour's island." Ken Howery can post all the "deepening ties" nonsense he wants on social media. Danes aren't stupid. You cannot simultaneously try to annexe Greenland and expect to be invited to dinner. He made his bed. Now he's sleeping in a costume.
"AND YOU STILL HAVE THE NERVE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH..."
Too sharp not to share.
This Australian's response to Trump's rant that "NATO doesn't exist for America" is perfect:
"Mate,
You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight.
A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.
A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive.
A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy.
A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages.
You imprison more of your own citizens than any other country on Earth.
More than China.
More than Russia.
More than North Korea.
In the land of the free, 2 million people are held in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything.
They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is falling. You're the only developed country where that's happening.
Your infant mortality rate is higher than Cuba's.
Your children practice active-shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell gun stocks to your friends.
Your minimum wage hasn't changed in 15 years...
You have teachers working two jobs, veterans sleeping under bridges, and you've just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you.
And a convicted criminal, found liable in a rape case, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and leading the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban, thanks you for yet another failure.
And you're calling Greenland poorly governed?
Greenland has universal healthcare.
Free education.
One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world.
Nobody goes bankrupt because they got sick.
Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance company said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them.'
When exactly was that, champ?
September 11?
Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in its history for you.
Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan for you.
Australia wasn't even in NATO, and we still showed up.
For twenty years.
And then you left at two in the morning without telling anyone and left them to clean up the mess.
You don't care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend. You haven't shown it a shred of sympathy.
So maybe, before you start calling other countries poorly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum-siding salesman with a spray tan.
The only thing being poorly managed in this picture is your damn mouth.
And you still have the nerve to lecture everyone else?"
In 2018, a watercolor by an unknown European artist appeared at Sotheby’s in London.
A collector from Kyiv bought it.
Later, experts identified it as a lost 1846 work by Taras Shevchenko: St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery in Kyiv.
After more than 170 years, it returned to Kyiv. I saw it today.
Maja Chwalinska has changed her life at this year’s Roland Garros.
Her total career earnings before Roland Garros:
$864,030.
What she’s earned at this tournament:
$1,624,000.
Because the players don’t get the money til after the tournament, she was worried she wouldn’t be able to cover her costs for a hotel as she went further and further in the draw.
Polish company OSHEE had to step in and pay for the rest of her hotel fees.
It’s nothing short of heartwarming to see this happening to such a humble person who has overcome her share of struggles.
She overcame a battle with depression and stopped playing tennis entirely for a period to take care of her mental health.
She wasn’t sure if she’d ever come back to this sport.
Absolutely unreal story. 🥹
🇵🇱❤️
Your great-grandmother ate:
- Butter on the bread
- Lard in the pan
- Tallow on the roast potatoes
- Whole milk from the doorstep
- Eggs every morning
- Red meat as the centre of the meal
- Obesity rate in 1950s: around 2%
- Type 2 diabetes: a rarity, especially before 60
- Heart attack at 40: almost unheard of
You eat:
- Seed oils in everything
- Low-fat everything else
- Egg whites and a "healthy" yolk-free omelette
- Skimmed milk
- Skinless chicken breast
- Wholegrain "heart-healthy" cereals
- Obesity rate in 2026: around 30%
- Type 2 diabetes: over 4 million diagnosed, millions more pre-diabetic
- Heart disease: still the leading killer, now striking decades earlier
But her diet was the dangerous one.
The science says so.
The science was, in this case, written by the people who sell the cereal.
Sky over Kyiv now
and a view of St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery.
Built in 1108-1113.
Blown up by the Soviet regime in 1937.
Rebuilt in the late 1990s.
He fired his own caucus chair for raising concerns about the $30M jet.
While families struggled with grocery bills and hospital wait times, the Premier has spent the last 10 weeks managing his own scandals.
He works for the big billionaires of America.
Not you.
Greetings from Kyiv.
I’m standing near St. Sophia Cathedral. Our jewel of the 11th century.
I love coming here, sitting on the bench, and imagining Kyivan princes walking here more than 1,000 years ago.
A 102-day summer vacation after sitting for only 29 days this year. If you were trying to avoid questions about your own corruption, this is what you'd do.
Listen up, Yankees and the rest of Trump’s Epstein clientele pals trolling on his behalf.
We’ve been your polite, reliable neighbour for generations, buying your goods, visiting your states, pumping billions into your economy every year. No more.
Sleepy fuck Don’s tariffs and his pathetic “51st state” trolling crossed every line. We told you months ago that we were done. Canadians are boycotting US tourism, US liquor, US products, and it’s working. Your hotels in Florida and border towns are sitting empty. Your exporters are feeling the pain. Billions in lost revenue while we vacation at home, support our own businesses, and rediscover our pride. Canada is still predicted to have the strongest economic growth this year.
You thought you could bully Canada, eh? Big mistake. We’re a sovereign nation with resources, brains, and backbone. Keep your crap. We’ll build stronger without you.
From sea to sea, our maple leaf stands tall and our Bald Eagles forever free🦅
I pulled up to the luxury resort check-in desk for my solo vacation.
The concierge scanned my ID, pulled up my reservation, then stopped.
He looked at the monitor.
Then at me.
Then back at the monitor.
Finally he asked, “Did someone else book this room for you?”
My stomach dropped.
The booking was supposed to be completely under my name.
I immediately started wondering if there was a fraudulent charge or a system error.
He smiled.
“No, nothing like that.”
He leaned in closer over the marble desk and lowered his voice. "Your confirmation code has a triple-zero prefix. Do you know what that means in our system?"
I shook my head. "I just used a standard booking app during their spring flash sale."
"The flash sale had a massive programming oversight," he chuckled, typing rapidly. "The system accidentally pulled a block of restricted inventory from the 'Owner’s Reserve' tier and listed them at the baseline rate for exactly twelve minutes before the IT team caught it."
"So my room is different?"
"You didn't book a standard king room," he said, sliding a heavy, matte-black keycard across the counter. "You booked the private penthouse suite that’s usually reserved exclusively for the board of directors and VIP guests. It has a private rooftop pool and a 24-hour dedicated butler."
He winked as he handed me my passport.
"Management told us to honor any bookings that went through during the glitch to avoid a PR nightmare, but they asked us not to advertise it. Welcome to the top floor. Enjoy being the main character this week."
Sometimes, when you decide to invest in yourself, the universe matches your energy and bumps you up to first class.
Good Morning! Happy Wednesday! 🌸❤️
Happy Hump Day 🐫
It's my birthday 🥳🎉
It's a hot day in Toronto. The current temp is 14C (58F). The high is 27C (80F). I'm working all day.
I hope you have a wonderful day! ❤️❤️
Kim Jong-Un walks into a school in North Korea...
He asks a student, "Who is your father?
The student replies, "The Supreme Leader, infinite in wisdom and kindness, provider and protector of the Koreans, he is our only father."
Kim Jong beams, "Excellent. Now tell me who is your mother?"
The student doesn't hesitate.,"The Land of True Korea, outstanding in her beauty, international superpower, and redeemer of all civilisations, she is our only mother."
Kim Jong applauses, "What a diligent student you are. What do you want to be when you're older?"
The student replies, "An orphan."
At the exhibition "New Military Landscape".
A field of flowers. A bright sky. A tank.
The glitch breaks the illusion of a beautiful landscape.

The volume of harassment and intimidation directed at me increased significantly today.
It won’t change my reporting. If anything, it reinforces the importance of documenting facts carefully and preserving the record.
It should not be this dangerous to report the truth in America.
A message to all sane Republicans:
He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals.
You said nothing.
He bulldozed the East Wing.
You said nothing.
He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.
He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.
He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.
He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.
He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.
He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.
His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.
He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.
His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.
He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.
He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.
It’s time to start talking.
I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

Today, Doug Ford closed the legislature until October 27. He can't get out of here fast enough.
We fought every day for solutions to make life easier and more affordable: scrap the tax on food, ban surveillance pricing and enforce competition to lower prices. We fought to Save OSAP, introduced a Youth Summer Jobs program, and successfully pushed for safer highways in the North.
Meanwhile, Doug Ford bought himself a $30 million jet, changed the law to hide his phone records, rushed through selling off Toronto's waterfront to Wall Street, and voted down our affordability measures.
This province deserves better. And I won't stop fighting until we get it.
