Palate cleansers

What an awful couple of days, and its not going to get any better next week. 

SCOTUS still has more cases to announce (including another gun case). 

And Canadians are wondering why Pierre Poilievre hasn't said anything yet about abortion, but is talking about kicking MPs out of caucus for the crime of Insufficient Loyalty to Dear Leader. 

And the FreeDumb Convoy now says Ottawa police told them they can park their trucks wherever they want to. 

Yeah, just great news from all over. 

So here are some palate cleansers, just for tonight - we'll get back to politics soon enough. 

 First, this great photo from NASA - it is described as "perhaps the most-terrifying space photograph to date" and it shows Space Shuttle astronaut Bruce McCandless floating untethered, using his Manned Maneuvering Unit to keep him alive, the first person in history to do this. 

Here's some funny stuff:

A little bit of humour about the SCOTUS decision:

Be sure to set your clocks back 50 years before you go to bed tonight.

If you live in a US state that doesn’t have butter tarts, please know butter tarts are widely available in Canada. And, should you come up seeking one, many Canadians would be happy to help you find a safe and welcoming bakery.
