An old grey arm chair, with the ears and eyes of an orange shiba inu peaking just above the arm.

Current status: under surveillance.

I can only assume there are quiet conversations happening right now about who's going to step up. If it's her, she'll have my volunteer time.

She also has a clear interest in and grasp of the basic policy spaces that the municipality has to make decisions in. She seems smart as hell.

I have a very, very short list of people I'd like to see run for mayor, and Morse is on it.

Congratulations!

Haggis on nachos is unhinged.

My favourite pizza place does not announce their news on the social media site for middle-aged wordcels.

Not going to QT. But it's really something to see members of the linkedin crowd, accustomed to thinking of themselves as very smart, wandering helplessly through intro-level philosophy of mind arguments.

I can't believe my province's education system is getting wrecked by guys who don't know the difference between percentages and percentage points.

Shame is a dangerous thing, and there are a lot of people who don't deserve to be shamed for innumeracy or illiteracy.

But this guy absolutely deserves to be shamed. He should be so embarrassed, he has to resign.

Like, I'm way past being mad at how literally stupid these guys are. I'm genuinely scared for my province.

The first 30 seconds of this clip show an EDUCATION MINISTER who manifestly does not understand middle school math.

This is exactly the right comparison, though. And it's something to remember anytime Americans get on their high horses about their republicanism.

Lol that's a catastrophe.

Those are the songs where I observe the pattern most consistently.

its like clausewitz and gramsci said: war is politics and its monster time

I really try not to yuck people's yums, but I feel very strongly about this cover song issue.

I like this example a lot. Not only is it a bit faster, it's groove is (to my ear) a bit bouncier. Absolutely the opposite of what most covers do.

No! And I at least find that they're surprisingly hard to find.

Apropos of nothing it particular, here are my observations about covers of sentimental songs.

1. 99% of the time, the cover slows the tempo down.

2. 99% of the time, it's a huge mistake to slow the tempo down.

The hold music at my dogs' vet's office is some very listenable drum and bass.

Wouldn't have predicted that.

Thank you for the update. I've been wondering about it, since it seems like it's been effectively dismantled.

He's not even aware that slow thinking can be deep thinking. He's not even aware of what deep thinking is.

I suspect he's like a lot of people in that respect.

Budget discussions in both my city and my province are negatively polarizing me against anyone who doesn't live in a 15-minute city.

I was just thinking a few days ago about how much I loved REBEL RIDGE and wondering what Aaron Pierre has been up to.

I keep a file of these headlines for the next time I teach utilitarianism to intro students.

As I age, my goal is always to be a David Byrne and never a Billy Corgan.

Very good thread. I suspect it gets at a point that's much more general than just being about lit reviews.

Screen shot of an ebay page. It says "3x Fin Carré Milk Chocolate With Salted Caramel Pieces and Salty Crunchy Cereal. US $35.99 ApproximatelyC $49.22"

Three bars of Lidl brand chocolate on ebay? $49 CAD

I wish Lidl would come to Canada.
