Mr. President, the next option is a hot shot. Target is a known drug user in public distress and this could be kept covert. Once you greenlight, we would wait for an appropriate opportunity, likely within the next six weeks.

"I Know What You Did Last Summer" is the most distinctly American horror premise, "what if there were consequences for running a pedestrian over"

I like this design, but at least in Ottawa, most lots are 50x100, don't have rear lanes, and the developers here would likely want a parking spot per unit to be able to sell them.

A bit generous to describe this as anyone getting tricked in to anything here.

Sometime soon Elon is going to post a piece of AI-generated art related to his spat with Trump that will be wack enough to alter the earth's weather for months. No one will understand how it happened. "As far as we can tell," officials from the NOAA will say, "it was something to do with the steed."

Social media hasn't been this funny since trump got covid and spent an entire weekend saying it wasn't so bad when he was clearly dying

If Trump does cut Elon Musk's government contracts it would be the greatest "Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point" moment in human history.

a pretty great admission by Musk that, despite being a mega donor and shadow president for a month there, he's completely unaware of the dynamics of american politics. he was merely audience captured by the only people who could stand him anymore and now he's gonna alienate them too

Tolkien used hobbits to represent traditional English values. This is why Bilbo leaves his home, lies to a foreigner, steals his treasure, and causes a war which kills and displaces millions of people.

Ah, from guilting Canadians to vote Liberal to stop Trump, to guilting Canadians to build pipelines for Danielle Smith. The Liberal two-step!

Not that the Conservatives had a plan to govern on behalf of anyone except their base, but it's too bad for Canada that our political class is out of touch with both reality and what people have been voting for when they vote against the Conservatives.

Because our political class is largely moronical and buys into conservative rhetoric that our main industries are mineral exports and agriculture when it's more like legal and financial services and education.

I thought this line was particularly telling, and not just for New Yorkers: “I never used to be as far left as a Bernie [Sanders], but those are the only people who are looking out for us,” said Anita Hennessey, a 61-year-old child care worker.

Funny to think there was ever a time she was considered an industry plant. Or that people cared about authenticity in art for a person born in the 80s whose persona was partially based on a Hollywood star from the 40s. Lana forever!
