Gretzky's trip to Trump's White House reminds me of Lindbergh's trips to Nazi Germany. But they are nothing alike. Lindberg was politically unsophisticated, naive, and had bought into Nazi pseudoscience. Wait a second....

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Really getting turned off the Village People.

has anyone else noticed that food tasted better in the past? it was mushy and easy to eat. and the spoon would come at you like an airplane

Today marks the end of the Fall 2025 term!

Its important to prepare for exams and finish any final projects, but remember to take a well deserved break afterward. Although, its too cold to relax on the campus lawn like these 1931 students after their exams.

Frog and Toad hide the cookies in a box. From "Cookies" In *Frog and Toad Together*

Frog put the cookies in a box. “There,” he said. “Now we will not eat any more cookies.”

“But we can open the box,” said Toad.

“That is true,” said Frog.

I like Andrew Chang's segments. He explains things well (although the ads beforehand are annoying).

Hath all his ventures fail’d?

Watching All Creatures Great & Small recently (set in the 1940s), Mrs. Hall mentions being at “sixes & sevens”.
I’d heard the phrase before, but that made me think of today’s kids yelling “6-7” & parents wondering what it means.
I doubt kids know it dates to Chaucer.

Yup.

ANTI-POVERTY advocates fear more Manitoba families will be pushed into hunger after a national study predicted some Canadian households' annual food bill will jump by nearly $1,000 in 2026.

"Cost of feeding family of four to soar by $1000 in 2026"
Is that $1000 a month? Because frankly every time I walk into a grocery store now my bill is double what it was just a few years ago.

Maybe she should be in an assisted living facility and have her telephone taken away?
Although she'd likely drive the poor HCW there crazy too, it would be better than tying up emergency services.

I wonder if there are actually sheep out there that paint their house every year based on a "trend colour".

Trump's bandaged and discolored hand was visible today during an event where he again at times struggled to keep his eyes open (Chip Somodevilla/Getty)

I got called pretty today. Well, the full statement was “you’re pretty annoying” but I only focus on the positive things…

Incredible!

And I’m not knocking men, some men do chip in and do these things.

But this condescending prick does not sound like one of them…

His idea that women take on “non-essential tasks” makes me wonder if he is actually in a relationship, has children, or has parents. And if so, does *he* care for any of them? Does he plan the play dates, doctor appointments, holidays or social outings? If not, he should try. It’s simple…
