After watching this season of The United Stayes of America, the re-opening of Jurassic Park after each disaster actually seems totally plausible.

The women around terrible men aren’t secretly heroes of the revolution. They are collaborators.

I think the most Canadian slogan would be:
"Canada, eh, its okay."

Any chance Doug Ford could take a swing at Kevon O'Leary? Someone needs to tell him to shut up, stop speaking for Canada.

TOMORROW YOU WILL GRAB THE SUN WITH BOTH HANDS AND DEVOUR IT. FOR NOW HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH WATER TODAY?

You know, a Tesla is about the only car that increases in value as you drive it off the lot. Within an hour, it's covered in eggs.

Anti DEI: the idea that any mediocre white man is always the best white man for the job.

Y'all. You can't talk constantly about needing subtitles for tv shows then complain you couldn't understand Kendrick Lamar rapping.

There are times I try to think of a perfect comment for The Wizard Lady if ever I were to wander past her but... honestly? No way I'd make it past "Ohhhhh just f*ck offff". Transphobes are exhausting. They dont deserve my energy.

Many years ago, Macleans magazine had a contest for the best slogan about the Canadian identity... the winner, "As Canadian as possible under the circumstances."

If Tr*mp said the sun was in the sky, I would ask him if M*sk told him that.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Honestly? As bad as it for the US, I'm angry that our provincial and federal elections are going to be about "who can deal with Tr*mp" rather than who can make things better for Canadians. Everyone is looking for a bully-boy rather than a leader... and we all know that party has the bully-boys.

Anyone spending time and effort arguing those were *not* N@zi salutes are the people who will turn you into the authorities without a second thought.

So... are Cybertrucks intentionally that ugly with that Brutalist design 'cause they're the cars for Nazis?

How... can I load up a van? flatbed truck? with puppies and kitties and I just drive over to the grocery store and see who needs some respite? Actually, getting slightly weepy thinking about it... ye gods, it's gonna be a long four years trying to avoid reality.

David Lynch: “Believe it or not, God is gay.”

Interviewer: “Elaborate on that.”

Lynch: “No.”

Rest in peace.

I'm uncomfortable with the inevitable "his work was always crap" because it seems to say "you can tell who the predators are by how well they write" and ... no no you absolutely cannot, that's the whole point.

Canada is not lying in the middle of the road, available to anyone who wants to pick it up. Journos need to stop treating Tr*mp's comments as funny asides. Let's ask Poland how funny it is... bet Ukraine has some thoughts.

(Okay, we actually always say "we're not as bad as the States" but that didn't meant repeating state...)

Anyone thinking Canadians are keen to be the 51st state are forgetting our long-time unofficial slogan, "...at least we're not as bad as America."

A comment, not a judgement: David Bowie would have loved AI. He loved new technology... his kids would have had to talk him out of it.

How to write: Stop not writing. Keep your butt in the chair. Write really bad small sections of the whole—passages, moments, episodes, memories—til you have an incredibly shitty 1st draft. Then take out the boring parts, the lies and pretensions. Then write a better 2nd draft.

No.
