A photo of the Toaster of Vindication at the Museum of Broken Relationships, Zagreb, Croatia. "When I moved out and across the country, I took the toaster. That'll show you. How are you going to toast anything now?"

I had to take a photo of the toaster too!

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about:

Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

Hmmmm. I wonder if Homestead is as good as it was 10-15 years ago. I'd take Thing 1 and Thing 2 for a tiger tiger or butterbeer, and I would treat myself to a Guinness (surprisingly good).
Looking forward to your review🫡

FIRST PERSON | I thought my childhood dreams were out of reach. Then I came to study in Canada | CBC News Chidinma Favour Anosike says she is one of several Nigerian young people who’ve left their home country, despairing of a system where connections and class matter in getting a job, more than skills an...

I've had the privilege and pleasure of working with a number of Nigerian lab professionals as well as folks from many other countries. There's so much to learn about the world, it's beautiful customs, music, and food. Come to Canada and make our country a better, kinder place. Well done, Chidinma.

I want a Jurassic Park where the dinos unionize and go on strike for better working conditions and the plot engine is building solidarity with park workers and visitors rather than falling into the class-war trap laid out for them by the capitalist owners seeking to exploit their primeval instincts.

Janeway and Tuvok! They are lovely, as are you.

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

A mosque, in memory

This is a beautiful story

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Don’t like gay marriage?
Don’t get married to the same sex.

Don’t like gender-affirming care?
Don’t have any.

Don’t like Planned Parenthood?
Don’t go there.

Don’t like abortion?
Don’t get one.

Just because *you* don’t like it doesn’t mean *others* shouldn’t be able to it.

Why cant i be you. Staple at dance clubs in my youth

Anyone who says they’re tough on crime but have no intention of being tough on poverty doesn’t really care about crime.

For the last few days, I've been amusing myself watching the survivalist and prepper stuff on YT.

I've arrived at one conclusion:

We are living in the dumbest, most frightened timeline in history. And there are people out there who exploit that ignorance and fear to the absolute maximum.

My favorite British pronunciation is for the word that's a slightly less offensive synonym to the one they bray all over the place and that they pronounce to rhyme with "cat" and Americans pronounce to rhyme with "cot."

lol I was watching this from-the-stands perspective on TikTok of the Winnipeg Jets’ winning OT goal and only realized near the very end it’s the PREMIER of Manitoba filming it and going nuts with his buddy 😅😅

I have two thoughts on newly re-elected CPC MP Damien Kurek taking one for the team and resigning only days after the election to gift Pierre Poilievre the embarrassingly safe Alberta CPC seat of Battle River - Inbred Hillbilly, so bear with me.

Almost impossible to overcome a 20+ point political deficit in a span of 3 months.

Almost impossible for a party to win a fourth consecutive term in power.

Almost impossible for a sitting opposition leader to lose his own seat in his own riding.

All those things happened last night.

Wild.

I love our elections #cdnpoli
The paper ballots. The cardboard ballot boxes. The poll workers who really just want to help make it possible for you to vote. The temp hires at Elections Canada who count things up. The media reminders to go vote before polls close.
It’s all great and too fragile.

The Conservative plan is out and, ooof, is this costing a disaster.

There's a whole bunch of phantom revenues booked here, and the GST housing pledge is costed at under $2B. Given their proposed eligibility criteria, it should be more in the 4-6B range.

We're one week away from one of the most important elections in Canadian history, and the Conservatives are the only party that haven't released a full platform.

CP NewsAlert: French leaders’ debate moved 2 hours to avoid conflict with Habs game MONTREAL - The Leaders' Debates Commission says the French language debate on Wednesday will start two hours earlier at 6 p.m. EDT to avoid a conflict with the Canadiens hockey

This is why the other countries make fun of us. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

In maybe the Most Canadian story ever, two political parties (the NDP and Bloc Québécois) are asking that tomorrow's French language election debate be postponed because it conflicts with a Montreal Canadiens game.

Hahaha I misspelled Saskatchewan in the alt text 🙃

Trump tariff collection for freight shipments delayed by Customs 'glitch' A Customs notice reported a glitch in a system shippers use to exempt freight from tariffs. Logistics experts say it is a bad sign for the supply chain.

Womp-womp, they DOGE'd the tariffs.
