At the mall with the kid so he can get his hair cut by someone other than me. Unknown at this time whether or not this was a wise choice…

If I were given three wishes, one of them would definitely be "make it so that people can always recognize when something is AI-generated". The second one might have to be "make people care about that, too". Third is world peace, obvs.

I can’t think of a death penalty in The Hague that would be adequate for all the evil Netanyahu has to atone for.

When someone tries to share a friends-locked post on facebook, are you the type to explain to them why you can't see it, or do you just ignore it, or are you not on facebook anymore? I need to be one of the second two options, for my sanity.

Carney pivoting to the right immediately is a sign that, even if the Liberals win the election, they’re headed down the road to where the Dems are today. It was always the logical conclusion.

Maestro David Briskin led the National Ballet of Canada Orchestra and the audience in a rousing rendition of O Canada before the opening of Swan Lake. #ElbowsUp is not one of ballet’s traditional positions of the arms, but everyone in Canada is adapting.

Why won't Donald Trump shut up about Canada? Because he wants to dominate the continent. And we're in the way. This is war by other means. thewalrus.ca/why-wont-tru...

List night I had a dream that I had eyelash-like hairs growing from the end of my big toe, right where my toenail-nail bed ends, and I could constantly *feel* them in my socks/shoes. While this was very unpleasant, at least it was better than the usual nightmares about our current reality.

The fact congressional Democrats have not hired three dozen D&D rules lawyers with oppositional defiant disorder and turned them loose on parliamentary procedure with the goal of maximum obstruction is such a fucking missed opportunity

Fact check: here’s the deal. Moron’s latest onslaught of repetitive lies includes what might be funny under other circumstances, the idea that Canada places tariffs on US dairy imports starting at 290%. That’s a malicious lie. In NAFTA 2.0, which Moron personally instigated, approved and signed,

My favourite thing about acute existential anxiety is how it fucks with my ability to sleep. I think maybe I managed four hours last night.

I don't think most Americans realize how much anxiety a lot of Canadians are feeling right now. This ain't "I'm worried I won't be able to get peanut butter" anxiety. This is "I'm worried Trump is going to bomb my country and kill my family" anxiety.
