75 years ago today, the Chuck Jones masterpiece Rabbit of Seville was released.
If you are of a certain age, chances are Bugs Bunny introduced you to opera.
Jfc... can't we leave the books alone? Like, aren't these folks big on parents' rights? Can't they decide not to let little Jimmi/Jimmy read a book that little Sammy/Sammi's parents want available for them?
1. In Tennessee, public libraries have closed for a week to facilitate a Trump-inspired book purge
Tennessee's Secretary of State ordered most of the state's public librarians to remove children's books w/LGBTQ characters

Wow, the leaked call logs show both that:
-Witkoff committed treason by advising Russia how to get their way by out maneuvering president Trump.
AND
-The “peace proposal” was authored and sent by the Russians meaning Vance, Rubio and Witkoff have all lied about its origin!
I don’t think this was a state department leak, they wouldn’t be on the call, and they don’t have the means to tap unofficially.
I think it’s a *MUCH* bigger deal than most people realize as I think it is likely from a Five Eyes asset on the Kremlin side - which would mean a foreign intel agency felt strongly enough about this to potentially burn an asset.
-No non-Five Eyes country would leak US intel to an outlet.
-Even a Five Eyes country is unlikely to tap the phone of a special US envoy.
-Adversaries who would tap it, wouldn’t share it (as China is on Russia’s side in this)
-NSA can’t log the contents of a US call without exceptional cause.
That leaves allied intel.
And if I were a betting man, I’d say MI6 has either tapped the phones of the Russian side, or has a cover agent there and leaked this.
Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

🟥 The greatest irony about truck convoy organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber facing up to 7 and 8 years in prison, is that when they report to serve time they will have to get measles and Covid vaccines, as per protocol for all inmates... 👀🤷🏻♂️
Meanwhile, Poilievre pretends he has never heard of them, or the "Freedom" convoy. 🚛🚛
He got his photo ops and MAGA credits by associating with the sabotage convoy 📸 and now is chilling, feet-up, in the luxury of Stornoway Residence, while his friends go to prison.
🚨Rep. Maxwell Frost after touring “Alligator Alcatraz”:
“Thirty-two bodies crammed per cage, six cages per tent. People screaming ‘Help me, I’m a U.S. citizen.’ Drinking water pumped from the same toilet they’re forced to use. It’s filth, it’s cruelty, it’s America’s name on the door.”
So many Emergency Departments closed in Alberta due to lack of coverage - including in Bow Island, the ONLY ED in County of 40 Mile, UCP heartland.
Thankfully, our Premier shuffled the deck chairs on this Titanic. 🙄

*NEW* AHS Update V214 (Of 2025!) - ICU - 191 (+4) of 224 beds occupied in Alberta - Occupancy - 83%. It’s been 998 Days since Danielle Smith said, “HEALTHCARE FIXED IN 90 DAYS!!” That was a BIG lie! Buckle up folks.. this is the AHS update that keeps on kicking! /1
In 1982, Wayne Gretzky promised himself if he scored 200 points he'd buy the sweetest cordury jacket ever and head down to Sears Portrait Studio with a box of his cereal. And Wayne Gretzky doesn't break self promises.
Smith has no mandate for this. And, when polled, Albertans are strongly opposed to the idea. The obvious question is: why now? Isn’t this one of the questions being addressed by the Alberta Next panel? What’s the point of the consultations if she won’t wait for the results?
My feelings about Brad Marchand used to be simple: he was a player-licking jerk.
Then, he was awesome at 4 Nations. Then his team traded him after years of loyalty.
Now he's kicking Oiler ass.
Why can't we get this guy to play for the Flames, so I can simply love him? 🤷♀️
So Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a flunkie goes "Deport!" and Elon goes "Impeach!"
And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.
I've been so excited to hold this in my hands... and it's finally here!
