A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

George W. Bush admin people must be kicking themselves. They spent SO MUCH TIME on the WMD con to justify going to war in the gulf. They lied. They got journalists to lie. So much effort.

And Trump just skipped all those steps.

If they had DEI they’d know it was TargΓ©t not Tarzhay

It's the blue canary night light from the song Birdhouse In Your Soul. It's a transparent blue night light in the shape of a canary.

Did you know that They Might Be Giants sell a Blue Canary Night Light?

This is delightful!

Does Winnipeg having a francophone neighborhood, namely St. Boniface, not change the math?

I got the good poutine from a St. Boniface restaurant.

Poster. There's a tropical looking background, and two women, one holding a duffel bag and the other holding a handgun, are walking towards the camera. On the left is Jodie Whittaker with brown hair. On the right is Suranne Jones with blonde hair. 

Small text says "from the award winning producers of Sanctuary and Harlots."

Large text says "frauds." 

Whittaker and Jones' names are on the left of the title, and the tagline "some friendships are criminal" is on the right.

There's an ITV mini series where the Doctor and the Tardis switch hair color and do crimes, and I thought you needed to know about it.

It's apparently coming to CBC.

UK folks, if it's bad, tell me now please.

When I'm in Montreal for Worldcon next year, I definitely plan to try the local version.

I'm just glad I found a poutine I enjoyed!

Probably not. Being a former Israeli, I had no choice, but you DO.

Itamar Ben Gvir hasn't personally killed anyone, as far as I know.

Skip is running a promo where you get half off on orders of 30 CAD or more in some restaurants. And I decided that's the perfect time to take a chance.

I got a sandwich with a side order of poutine. Plus some cans of diet pepsi.

And... did you know poutine is actually delicious?

Oh, you did.

When I first came to Winnipeg, in last May, I tried poutine. I tried it twice. And it was a bummer. I've wanted to try it again, but when I order food delivered, getting stuck with something that's a bummer is bad.

HOWEVER, things changed today.

At some point I just stopped reading the thread, because the second hand embarrassment was too much

I'm just relieved more and more people are joining us in hating and fearing Peter Thiel, the worst gay guy in the world.

Still thinking about that one guy in that one thread yesterday who claimed "movie/book has no sequels" is an inside joke, rather than a well used joke format.

And then doubled down. Doubled down so hard.

Some people just want to make their own online experience worse.

I'm happy to shit on him in general, but he's been part of too much funny, as a co-writer and a performer, for me to say he was never funny.

And Idle and Palin, who generally don't agree with him on anything, and haven't for years, both still say he's a comedic genius.

John Cleese is the Morrissey of people who used to be funny

For me, it's less of an assumption and more of an act of manifesting.

The weather is getting less brutally cold, and I'm hoping that helps.

For a moment, it seemed like there were more location options for the bookstore on the real estate sites, but that moment has passed.

I'm gonna need things to pick up a bit here in the Peg.
