Extraordinary episode of Desert Ireland Discs yesterday with [Nemone Lethbridge, ](bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0027l20)
We had a delicious chicken dinner, at teatime last night, which means the sprog gets her weird dinner of leftover chicken, gravy and pasta tonight. Weird? Maybe. Delicious? So she claims.
Another day of uncertainty at work, because for the next fortnight we're all really in limbo as to who's staying and who's going. There's still the job to do, but the uncertainty nipping at our heals and I imagine that it's not just me who's finding it hard to focus on the actual work rather than start surfing the job boards.
Really enjoyed the new Doug Richards novel at the weekend; I read it in a single sitting. Then weirdly felt like my own grandfather as I went up to bed at 1AM, telling my daughter not to be up late gaming on the way. Just what used to happen to me for my latter years at secondary school and college.

The sense memory was extraordinary. As I turned the lights off and walked up the stairs, I could honestly hear the clatter of my granddad putting the TV remote onto his silver drinks coaster, the creak of the chair as he got up, the firm *thunk* of him switching off the TV at the wall and the gentle roar of the kettle as he took himself a cup of tea up to bed.
Sounds I haven't heard since I left for college nearly 20 years ago came back with a sharp, fluid pang I haven't felt for a long time.
No idea what's wrong with me lately.
I was waiting for my daughter to show up yesterday and told my NAS to give me a random episode of The Next Generation before putting something joint on the TV.
I didn't recognise the plot at all. None of the names of the species, none of the lines, nothing. it was a pretty forgetable one from the first season with the only real notable thing to my mind being Tasha's wave goodbye at the end, but still.
Growing up I could practically quote the episodes. I used to mute the TV and lipsync, I was that... engaged.
Concerningly I am getting old. I don't think I've watched more than a handful of episodes since I met my now wife, over 6,700 days ago.
This frees me up from making round trips to collect or drop her places. But it felt surreal and not very pleasant, watching her get into the car from an upstairs window then following along on the map. Just another one of those milestones, I suppose.
Anything could happen! Of course it could. But then it always could. "It does not do not to do because of what others could do but usually won't do" as a wise old friend said to me once. We have to live.

Impressive response from PM Trudeau, which spans 80 yrs of history.
It's sickening to see the violent stupidity of MAGA directed outward. I can't imagine we'll be forgiven or fully trusted again in my lifetime.

I have been incredibly impressed with Alt National Park Service since Trump's first term. People like this are preserving vital records, refusing to comply, continuing to speak out.
Everyone should
1 - be informed (but limit the firehose)
2 - do not comply
3 - support each other and everyone resisting (build systems of care outside capitalism)

CEO of Canada's 2nd biggest company defends Trump's tariff demands, slams Trudeau for not stopping trade war

JFK said, "Geography has made us neighbours. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies."
Donald Trump has ruptured the Canada-USA relationship.
Canada is a sovereign nation.
WE WILL NOT BE ANNEXED BY ECONOMIC FORCE.

Canadians are kind and Canadians are nice... to a point.
The USA, under the pissant administration, has mistaken our kindness and our niceness for weakness.

* Cooperation: The US and Panama cooperate on matters related to the Canal, including security and environmental protection.
Key Points:
* The US no longer owns or operates the Panama Canal.
* The US has a right to defend the Canal's neutrality, but this right is limited and does not infringe on Panama's sovereignty. (4/5)
In summary, the US's rights to the Panama Canal have changed significantly over time. While the US played a crucial role in the Canal's construction and operation, it now recognizes Panama's sovereignty over the waterway. The two countries maintain a cooperative relationship to ensure the Canal's continued operation and neutrality. (5/5)
