It's annoying when people stereotype an entire generation.
I'm part of "Gen-X" so according to the stereotype, I'm a cynical, sarcastic slacker who prefers irony over sincerity which makes me lean towards apathy and nihilism.
Okay, sure most of it is true, but I'm not a slacker. 😜

Maybe I time travelled, met you, went back to my own time, and then invented the character... hey, weirder things have happened... πŸ˜†

Abby Lunay is just like Sherlock Holmes, aside from her gender, experience, age, location, name, lack of adherence to logic, ok, maybe she's *nothing* like Holmes, but there's a murder to solve, and she's on it. The Hopeless Cases: Douglas Adams meets Agatha Christie.

You're right... even one patron is unrealistic.

There's a rumour going around saying the ghost of Abraham Lincoln was present during a screening of "Melania" and the one patron there heard a spectral voice saying "It took 150 years, but now this is my worst theatre experience".

An online American friend told me her car was broken into and the vandals left four tickets to the 'Melania' movie on the front seat. How low will these criminals go?

Trump: We have to own Greenland. It's vital to our national security.
Results: Markets tank, Europe won't ratify US trade deals, Trump fails to own Greenland, Denmark maintains control, existing US bases/mineral rights are unchanged from 1951 agreement.
Trumpers: The art of the deal!

PM Mark Carney telling the world's middle powers that it's time to band together away from the major powers, adding "if you're not at the table, you'll be on the menu" was excellent. Someone finally said the quiet part out loud and I hope it wakes up the rest of the world.

Yup. That's the fastest way to get a block/delete from me. So sick of this. Grateful you did a list.

Released 46 years ago today. I'm definitely old... still, no album had a great impact on my life than this one.

My ten year old niece grew up thinking Donald Trump was the Son of God because every time he was on TV I’d whisper, β€œJesus Christ.”

No, Vaccines Don’t Cause Autismβ€”Here’s the Proof Parents Need to See Countless studies have shown no link between vaccines and an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder. But some parents still hold onto that belief.

VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM!
However
Measles can cause encephalitis and brain damage.
Chickenpox can lead to permanent scars.
Meningitis has long term consequences like seizures and motor function disorders.
Polio can cause respiratory paralysis.

Vaccines are SAFE and prevent life long misery.

Canadian here. Many of us won't return when Trump's gone because there's still the 70+ million people who to this day insist he's done nothing wrong and deserves their support.

Dr. Oz said a weight loss drug could help Americans lose 131 billion pounds by next year. Okay, let's fact-check. 131 billion pounds / 300 million Americans = 436.7 meaning every man, woman, child needs to lose 436.7 pounds for this to be true. Nope. I call BS.

As he is fighting to prevent SNAP funds from feeding the poor and hungry, we could name the stadium "STARVING" which stands for the "Senile Thieving Arrogant Racist Vain Insecure Noxious Grifter" who caused the hunger in the first place.
