Wild how almost every pre-2000 plot (fiction of any kind) totally collapses if you just factor in text messaging

Pencils ✏️ with rock-hard erasers that don’t do any erasing but smear indelibly: why do we tolerate this?

Me in 1999: “That South Park movie was wacky, imagining an American imperialism so deranged that they decide to invade Canada in a crusade of censorship. 😂”

Me in 2025: 😐

Inside the stunning success of Balatro, the video game sensation made by an anonymous Canadian Balatro stands out for its success as a card game among competitors with complex storylines and fast-paced action set pieces

If the US comes at us again with tariff threats, I say we just take away Balatro

Ladies and gentlemen, the leader of the People’s Party of Canada, whose (oh-so-white) supporters befouled the streets of Ottawa for 3 weeks in 2022

…then when they win anyway, they don’t hold referendums because the polling is so obviously bad. That’s why the last one was in 95.

PQ leaders always get cornered and weakened by the separatist faction in the party before they’re even elected. He knows it’s a terrible idea for his chances but they hold his balls in a vice 🙃

PQ winning provincial election ≠ automatic referendum. I repeat this ad nauseam for people in other provinces: sovereignty is *a drag* on the PQ in Quebec.

But if Poilièvre becomes PM, it will shoot up the polls. See the bright side, we all have agency.

When Led Zeppelin was still an active band in the mid-1970s, the group's manager, Peter Grant, spotted Dylan at a star-studded event. "'Hello, Bob. I'm Peter Grant, I manage Led Zeppelin.'"
Dylan's retort: "'I don't come to you with my problems.'"
