Weird how the great exceptions to public protest in North America being put down with overbearing police action were Jan 6. And the Ottawa Convoy. Such a strange thing!

People date The Prestige TV Era as a post Sopranos thing, but Homicide: Life On The Street stars Yaphet Kotto, Melissa Leo, Andre Braugher, Jon Polito, Ned Beatty, etc... and had a soundtrack so expensive it hasn't been streamable for decades and s1e2 is directed by the guy who made Casino Royale.

One of the best things about Posting is you never know what obscure preoccupations your followers have. There will be a guy who has followed you for years and never said anything but then one day you disparage applesauce and he activates like a sleeper agent and dedicates his life to destroying you

MP Sukh Dhaliwal w/ Canada's governing Liberal Party disagrees with decision to invite India's Narendra Modi to the G7 summit. “My constituents are telling me the message that we are sending is they can come and and kill Canadians on Canadian soil and they won’t even get a slap on the wrist.”

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.

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."

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.
