it's unbelievable to me that someone could actually be a trillionaire. i think most of us have trouble internalizing how much money that truly is. let me put it in simple terms for you: a trillion dollars is three million dollars

They passed on that Ween jingle and never fully recovered.

I guess I’m just confused as to how Jivani, the opposition MP from Bowmanville—Oshawa, can possibly have had “productive meetings with the White House and State Department” when he’s not even there on behalf of the Liberal Government. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

We’re in the middle of a week that started with a wave of “Republicans suck” at the Grammys, and which will end with a wave of “Republicans suck” at the Super Bowl, so it’s especially funny that today, on top of all that, they have to deal with “You’ve got this guy. This is your guy.”

I’m sure it sounds more dignified in the King James Version.

Tough but fair, Senator. Shut it down.

Maybe it’s me, but I feel like a country that truly “respects the office of the president” doesn’t let someone like Donald Trump anywhere near it in the first place, let alone do so twice.

I don’t want to get too into this, but a major motivator for these cuts is Canada’s commitment of 5% of GDP to defence spending, which (as I understand it) can be a pretty broad designation. I remember “anything that helps us deal with wildfires” being floated as a specific example at the time.

It’s definitely not great to see the Washington Post become a machine that just churns out one version of “Someone young, cool and compassionate challenged you and made you feel bad; here’s why they’re wrong” after another.

Men are not trash. Perpetuating that narrative helps normalize rape culture by making it seem like it's just inherent to their nature. It's not. Men are human beings. The social system of patriarchal masculinity is what's trash, and it hurts them too. We can change that.

This match has just been extended for one day only. Give before midnight tonight to double your impact.

“Mom, can we get the Super Bowl Halftime Show?” “We have the Super Bowl Halftime Show at home,” etc.

“Optical” currently appears in my recent searches on both Spotify (as in the drum and bass producer) and Outlook (as in I need glasses).

Feeling low. Going to bed.

It’s tough to feel sorry for a rich man complaining that money can’t buy happiness when you know about all the great things money was buying all over the world before that same man tore a hole though the United States Government.

It’s really getting to a point at which you could just post a photo of these two guys without any words or a link, and everyone would know they’d been let down again.

Yeah, no, “the richest man in human history is a miserable loser because his money can’t buy happiness, or respect, or genius, or a sense of humour, or children who want anything to do with him” is a lesson that I regularly share with my own kids.

I have never seen someone use the phrase “parental rights” who wasn’t actively trying to shirk their parental responsibilities, and I’m confident that I never will, because “parental rights” is a nonsense concept.

4 Non Blondes only released one album, which came out in 1992. Their last single was a cover of “Misty Mountain Hop” from a 1995 Led Zeppelin tribute album, and it certainly answered the “What would this song sound like if 4 Non Blondes covered it?” question. youtu.be/p5pfY5_yzoo

“From the Editorial Board: We are putting it in the newspaper that we got mad.”

I mean, they already do have to do that, right? There’s no point in imagining having to do it.

I’m grateful today to finally be heading back to the office, grateful for time for a run after work tonight, and grateful for the old drum and bass singles that I haven’t yet discovered. #3Gratitudes

The most recent Gallup Poll puts Trump’s approval rating at 36%, which is his lowest rating this term. His lowest ever was 34% in January of 2021.

If you’re looking for staff writers and staff editors, but you’re not hiring for any paid writing or editing roles, then you’re going to have trouble attracting the sort of talent that could have told you that “staff” is the wrong word to be using here.

“Antifa Member’s Night is coming up. I’m sure you’ll see him there. All the Antifa members go.”

USian trans people aren't telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom to cause you distress and despair. USian trans people are telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom so you don't vote for his transphobic ass in the primaries. They are giving you actionable information.

There’s really nothing like “Kid Rock and three people you’ve never heard of” to make you long for a simpler time when they would have just been “four people you’ve never heard of.”

Well, that ought to give the single biggest television event on Earth a real run for its money.

All I can think of whenever Gervais makes headlines for something like this is @peterlynn.bsky.social’s joke about the hardest level in “GTA IV” being the one where you have to sit through one of his stand-up sets.

If there’s empathy to be felt here, it’s for the sick children, who deserve proper care from parents who aren’t monsters.

One of the many fun things about watching “Groundhog Day” in 2026 is that Michael Shannon’s absolutely in it for less than a minute. youtu.be/CjltG0T1430

I don’t know, man. I kind of feel like maybe it is.

Well, I guess this explains why the soft block also doesn’t work here.

I can't believe we're gonna get to buy our Halloween costumes at the damn Kennedy Center.

I'm planning to dig back into the #94CallstoAction over the next few months. Here's the Indigenous Watchdog entry for the first, which they list as "stalled" due to a lack of "formal mechanism or coordinated plan in place" to monitor or assess neglect. www.indigenouswatchdog.org/cta/call-to-...

Today’s the second day of the Dry Feb campaign! I’m taking part in support of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and I very much appreciate all the sponsors who have stepped up so far. Please consider giving what you're able to a great cause. www.dryfeb.ca/users/matt-b...

I'm grateful today for remote work, grateful for outdoor slow-motion videos, and grateful for the books on my shelves that I haven't yet read. #3Gratitudes
