Timothy Chalamet is truly an ignorant idiot. Opera and ballet don’t want you bruh. Get a hold of yourself.

I read two pieces today that were so awful, and by awful I mean the writing, that they sent me to hot whiskey and Dostoyevsky to recover. Medicinal but not sustainable. Stop writing rubbish lads.

The link on the program details is broken. Do writers have to be nominated by others? How does the program work?

Garda who lent bike to man to receive over €250k damages A garda detective who was suspended for more than three years for giving a man a loan of a bicycle during the Covid-19 pandemic is to receive over €250,000 in damages.

This is quite a mad story. An overreaction to the lend of a bicycle during a pandemic.

I am very surprised the dinosaurs haven’t been in touch with the Toronto Star demanding an apology for me invoking them as noble influencers.

Thanks. I am still complaining so there's some wheeze available. Hope you are feeling ok x

Thank you. Not COVID some other flu virus. Feels like pleurisy. Eventually I will cave in and find a doctor or my lungs will start behaving again.

Tried to make an appointment online with my new dr, the page said they'd never heard of me. Fair enough, I'd forget me. Rang & waited 13 mins on hold and decided there is a bigger plan. A friend texted and made me laugh so much it threatened my life. Eventually I need an x-ray.

You don't know you are well until you are sick. Don't catch this super flu. The lung pain is unreal. You'd hand them over if you could safely unplug them.

I'm shocked that so many people want the hideous number 2 fork. I'd want a teaspoon.

The Man Who Wasn’t There: The Barber of Santa Rosa For this existential noir, Joel and Ethan Coen drew inspiration from crime-fiction master James M. Cain’s lean, hard-boiled style and interest in the quotidian world of work.

Hey, y’all, my essay on The Man Who Wasn’t There for the Criterion Collection is here. To quote S. 2 of Slings & Arrows: Am I bragging? Yes.

I am very bad with numbers, left and right and recognizing faces, hence clock changes are perplexing.
I have other talents. I am very good at appreciating the sky and talking to people who are crying at the bus stop.

This only applies in Winter so now Nov-March, we are 2 hours behind, but April-Oct (?) we will still be 3 hours behind. If Ontario move to PDT, we'll be 3 hours behind all year.
I think 2 hours time difference is better myself

"U.S. Border States: B.C. will remain one hour ahead of Washington, Oregon, and California during the winter months (November–March) until those states enact similar changes."
This will effect basketball games.
I like that we're an hour ahead. We'll only be two hours time difference from Ottawa
