Been comparing prices for the past five hours and it’s seemingly impossible for the cost of round trip flights from Toronto to Vancouver + 4 nights stay to be anything less than ~ $2,600 That’s before things like car rental, food, excursions, etc. Why is it SO EXPENSIVE to travel within Canada 😭😭😭

Israel saw the U.S. being on the verge of falling to fascist dictatorship, thought it was simply too boring, and decided to up the chaos and horror ante by striking the capital city of a country that may have nuclear weapons Maybe having batsh!t crazy people lead governments isn’t the best idea 🙃

A yellow butterfly just flew outside of my window and I’m glad that I happened to be facing in its direction because there is something about seeing butterflies flying in the air that always makes me happy 😊

Spoiler: MJ has the record with 10 such seasons (reminder that he played 15 seasons in total, including basically missing that 2nd season due to injury and the two Wizards years when he was 40) 🤯 Wilt, the next closest, did it 5X Everyone else, prolific scorers themselves, only did it once each

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Decided to go watch #Ballerina after work yesterday because I didn’t wanna risk coming across random spoilers any longer. I’m happy to report that even though it wasn’t in IMAX as I had hoped for, the film still delivered and made this John Wick fan very happy I need more Eve (Ana de Armas)

Look, the WNBA may not have given the fans a consistent game schedule this season, but with the news about the Seattle Storm today, we are at least still getting some drama since we are already at our second league investigation Also, it’s a safe space, Storm fans #WNBAsky
