After the Americans' 51st-state "jokes," and Canadians' War-of-1812 "jokes," I think we have the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup moment:

I'm trying to learn how to use one of the platforms and it seems 2/3 of my feed is ads and I hate it. I can see why Meta wants people to have these apps on their phones but I haven't heard a convincing case from a human I trust why it would be necessary/enjoyable

Happens to me every time I'm raking the lawn, raking the lawn

a group of men are singing and playing guitars with the words breaking the law breaking the law Alt: "Breaking the law, breaking the lawwwww!" sing the members of Judas Priest, playing the song of the same name

I get it. You feel like you're

(minus the "grab Mum, kill Phillip..." clauses, in my case)

There are so many times these days that I think "get to the Winchester, and wait for all of this to blow over" is highly relevant advice

Hi Christina -- my debut novel, Venue 13, is out in 2026 from Ravenstone (Turnstone Press). It's a comedy set in a haunted theatre, during the city's busiest drama festival. A novel with stage directions! Announcement here: www.turnstonepress.com/news/in-the-...

Would you say a slalom waterski and a mammoth tusk are about the same size, or — hey wait

Wow, Kameron -- this is amazing!

I KNEW IT

Not their most poetic, TBH

In the interests of science, I can't honestly answer this as a hypothetical. Since I am already a not-haver of $90 million, the only way to know is them to give me the $90 million, no take-backsies, and we'll see

I love this one too.... but which is the line you hate? I'm curious now.

Our black Lab cross who is (probably) part border collie is absolutely like this. When he was younger I learned to have two tennis balls to throw -- one for him to chase while I went to get the other he had partly-retrieved.

My dad loves trains and when he visited me in Iceland that was the only one I could show him.

And unlike hákarl, the salty licorice is GREAT.

Do they still have that one relic near the harbour? (Or am I misremembering that -- I thought there was a short-line train that only operated for a few years but the locomotive was placed around there as a memorial.)

My whole week is going to be wrestling, huh? I read this on Sunday and it was amazing. I'd been putting it off because I thought I would get lost in the wrestling and....I did not. And you won't either, if you read it. Unless you WANT to. It'll work for you too! amzn.to/46sNdzc

I've only got dad jokes, not dead jokes

Let me put this another way:

Top reasons why Cdn-US tourism is down as seen by Canadians:

1. Forced annexation threats
2. Fear of arbitrary ICE arrest
3. General dismay @ new US
4. Tariffs, levied despite USCMA deal

Top reasons as seen by US media/govt:
1. Tariffs generally
2. 51 State 'jokes'

There was a good thread for writers about the publishing industry earlier this week, but I forgot to bookmark it. Does anyone know where I can find it? I think it was making the rounds on Sunday or Monday. And I can't remember more about it than that, alas

Thinking about this story again makes me smile—an evil, menacing grin! 🖤😊

I love reading a lot of Tolkien, appendices and fragments and all, but.... no

Hey, maybe they'll do an All The Years Smaug Sat On HIs Treasure miniseries

I agree -- I loved those artists and the entire 1980s-90s industry of Tolkien art, but those movies were an adaptation for the aesthetics of that tradition. I'm OK with not rehashing it.

WTF, there's a GOLLUM movie?

no, just no.
