just remembering Toronto Police hiding their badges during the G20, and then "forgetting" who was on duty that day, and then both federal and provincial, Liberal and Conservative governments agreeing to give everyone a pass, and Bill Blair is still an MP, yes I'm still angry about it

Yesterday, Robert Prevost asked everyone to start calling him by a different name. And they did. No outrage or shaming over this request. See how easy it is to honor other people's benign wishes?

“I spend so much time on TikTok,” she said. “Hours and hours, until my eyes start hurting, which makes it hard to plan and do my schoolwork. With ChatGPT, I can write an essay in two hours that normally takes 12.” "No work, no play" sounds like an incredibly rewarding college experience.
