not so much “an alternative to stairs” as it is “a portal to fun hidden bonus stairs”
day one in Paris and we have already located the most European elevator setup in all of France
Ever flown to Moncton?
The plane takes 9km to take off and rattles like a pickup truck full of old toasters on a gravel road. The flight attendant somehow has a Quebecois accent in English and an Anglo accent in French and he is about to give the lowest-effort safety demonstration you’ve ever seen.
Hello Bonjour welcome to your Canadian domestic flight. Going to Toronto or Vancouver? No? Cool, go outside on the tarmac and climb into that 12-seat prop plane we’ve been patching with duct tape since Diefenbaker was Prime Minister. That’ll be $1200, please.
the little voice in your head that says “you can wait and clean your apartment after you get back from vacation, you’ll be nice and rested” is the Devil speaking and you must pay him no mind
so it turns out if you shoot missiles at the country that controls The Straight Where We Ship Everything, it becomes very expensive to ship everything. Follow me for more hard-hitting geopolitical insights.
girl are you the Straight of Hormuz because I see a lot of men greatly overestimating their chances of getting their ship into your channel
if you're rooting for the end of civilization because you think it'll involve more "running around in artfully ripped clothes with a nail bat" than "spending large parts of your life thinking about soil quality" you are in for an incredibly disappointing surprise
if the phrase "nitrogen fixing" means nothing to you, I promise you are wildly overestimating how well you'll do in a post-apocalypse
if anyone is looking for the "Canada is a communist dictatorship" crowd, they are currently busy complaining that Canada does not centrally regulate the price of gasoline
"but I don't think she wants a moat"
she wants the moat. we all want moats. get the moat.
this international women's day, get her what she REALLY wants (a large moat around her primary place of residence)
I have a little story out in HAD today, about the logistics of giving up your SaaS sales career to try your hand as a Siren in the age of noise-cancelling Bluetooth technology

me at 20: I’m going to stay trendy and fashionable forever, I’m never going to look outdated
me at 30: I have, at maximum, two different kinds of jeans left in me before it’s Sweatpants Forever
baby boomers heard "We Didn't Start the Fire" in 1989 and apparently went "challenge accepted"
We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.
loving this “CEOs eat their own product” trend, somebody tell the CEO of Boeing to go next
checking the news again
Surely nothing bad has ever happened when a critical mass of the population feel that their future has been ripped out from under them and that the only thing they have to look forward to is the steady erosion of their standard of living. Surely that always turns out fine.
Being a working writer with deadlines is great but it's also unbelievably stupid. Like sorry guys I can't go out tonight, I am thirty-three years old and I have homework that I begged to do.
I think it makes sense that "Rattlin' Bog" has become a popular children's song, because "the bog down in the valley-o" is the only place they're going to be able to afford to live when they reach adulthood
also a not-insignificant part of her escape involved men in positions of relative power knowingly having sex with her in exchange for doing her favours, and then claiming they had been unfairly bewitched by an evil temptress
I think the wildest part of this documentary is the cops saying over and over again “she had supernatural powers of manipulation, she had a mysterious ability to make people to do things for her” and then her actual escape strategy was “she made friends by being nice to them and they helped her”
my great-grandparents had it pretty rough, but I'm willing to bet they didn't have to find out about WWII on the toilet at 4 o'clock in the morning
"we voted for cheap steak and no new wars"
aww, sure you did, sport. now eat your liver so you'll be nice and strong when you're sent off to die for Israel
apparently when I said I wanted to see Les Misérables someday, I should have clarified that I did not mean "unfolding on the streets around me in real time"
because if there’s one thing I know about men, it’s that they crave full-time child-rearing responsibilities without even getting to have sex first
Columbia President with NEW details:
5 DHS agents entered a residency with no warrant.
They said they were police looking for a missing kid.
Security camera even captures them showing pictures of the "kid."
A campus officer asked for a warrant & their boss.
They ignored him & took the student.
As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
