  1. Bad news for bourbon distilleries, as Canada used to buy more bourbon than any other country- “New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt said Monday she planned to remove U.S. alcohol from N.B. Liquor stores and avoid signing all but the most essential new contracts with U.S. firms as a response to President Donald Trump's tariffs. But she put part of that on hold late in the day, after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the U.S. president would delay the tariffs by 30 days. "For now, American products will remain on ANBL shelves but we will not be purchasing new product,” Holt said in a statement. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/new-brunswick-tariff-response-alcohol-1.7449099
  2. This puzzles me. “Elon Musk announced that he has dissolved the Internal Revenue Service’s free file program, effectively firing the staff who worked on the popular program, the Daily Beast reports. The billionaire revealed that he “deleted” the group of individuals who oversaw the system that allows Americans to easily file their taxes for free on the IRS website” https://politicalwire.com/2025/02/03/musk-says-hes-deleted-free-irs-tax-filing-program/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=hubbub-pro
  3. I have bailed on more than one concert, wife in tow, due to repeated air foulings. She never complains. Nor does she mention my hypocrisy. In my defense, I wouldn’t rip a fart I knew would be disgusting in a public forum.
  4. Not a threat. I get why you think that, but, unless you darken my doorway, it wasn’t a threat. Maybe Surly is not gentle enough for you
  5. Hey, @Incredulity, fuck you. I was referencing this post, which was discussed by others. You are ignored by me, and by others, so I am spoilering your ass showing.
  6. @Incredulity must be dumberfounded.
  7. On the off chance this somehow ends up being tied around the turnip and he is prosecuted for market manipulation, the guano guzzlers will shout,”Lawfare!”
  8. Former US Ambassador to Russia says you’re overdoing the scatmunching.
  9. Two Bluesky posts, one showing the depths of depravity and the other showing, at least, some pushback.
  10. While I can agree with @McCroskey that turnip is a turnip, I am not so sanguine about the efforts of the authors of 2025, and am pretty freaked about the aims of Thiel (as elaborated by Yarwin.) Those folks are sailing along with tail winds.
  11. Some heart warming news. Like peach sorbet after a week of pestilential feculence. ”Former President Jimmy Carter has won a posthumous Grammy award. Carter, the peanut farmer who won the presidency in the wake of the Watergate scandal and Vietnam War, died in December at age 100. Prior to his passing, Carter was nominated in the audio book, narration, and storytelling recording category at the 2025 Grammys for “Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration,” recordings from his final Sunday School lessons delivered at Maranatha Baptist Church in Georgia. Musicians Darius Rucker, Lee Ann Rimes and Jon Batiste are featured on the record. It’s Carter’s fourth Grammy. His posthumous Grammy joins his three previous ones for spoken word album. If the former president won before his death, he would’ve become the oldest Grammy award winner in history. Jason Carter, Jimmy Carter’s grandson who now chairs The Carter Center governing board, received the award on his behalf. “Having his words captured in this way for my family and for the world is truly remarkable,” he said in an acceptance speech. “Thank you to the academy.”“ https://apnews.com/article/president-jimmy-carter-2025-grammy-awards-0b8a1c1fa8c8887b945a2b893b7e59e5
  12. Nightmare fuel, indeed. Also fuel for rage. Take this excerpt, just rage, rage, rage: ”Public policy expert Dan Moynihan told reporter Elliott that the fact these people “are not really public officials” makes it hard for Congress to intervene.” As citizens, why wouldn’t any given American have standing to file suit against people unlawfully accessing their information?
