Funny story, I once worked on a film that was Executive Produced (i.e. funded) by Mike Huffington. It wasn't some big flashy Hollywood film, just an indie feature that had Eric Stonestreet in a supporting role (just before Modern Family).

too late for tonight, but a reminder for the rest of the week

Does the Post not know what a triangle is? This shouldn't even pass a fact check...

The focus of the cover and the first headline are quite the contrast. I’m glad you’re warning people about the dangerous thing first.

It goes century by century and I’m impressed I got through 1300…

Not to mention government and public services that kinda worked.

Haha! I’m reminded of this classic by @markusoff.bsky.social … www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

googled "lost the farm" just to double check it was a common saying and

Oh my… I now have to double check to see if any of my friends or former colleagues were the other nominees…

Random trademark law story (US based in this case): a friend of mine has the last name of a major company in a similar industry. When he put his website with firstnamelastname dot com, that company came after him. They didn’t have a case of course, but they still tried! Just a weird story

Wait, is Matt Johnson now the most iconic and important person to have climbed the CN Tower??

All of the world’s problems are likely the fault of parents. War? Parents. Famine? Parents. Pretty much everything bad was caused in part by the children of parents.

What if we traded Alberta to France for St Pierre and Miquelon and maybe a Caribbean island or two?

Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie is coming out in Korea, a country that didn't have the show and where Nirvanna and Nirvana are spelled the same way. As such it was given another, even longer, 52 word title that I need a whole followup skeet to include all of. It also spoils the entire movie.

With crime at relative lows, think about how many doctors, nurses, teachers, daycares, etc. this could have funded. At least 1000, that’s for sure.

Just a little bigger than our office…

This English/Irish-themed pub in Lyon is called “Beertney Bleach”. I can’t tell if it was intentional. Or an attempt to sound English (like, “Hackney Downs” or something) and they don’t realize that drinking establishments should probably not have the name of toxic cleaning products.

“Think back to your childhood. Do you remember when the anxiety started?”

Coffee at work SUCKS. Software I use every day SUCKS. Bills going up SUCKS. Email SUCKS. Github SUCKS.

This is absolutely wild... the true religion of Quebec

Today I learned…

Children agree not to get abducted after 8 PM so Amber Alert doesn’t wake anyone up

3 actual quotes from this piece: “Can I afford the tax? Yes. Is it going to deter me? No. But I think it’s shameful. I provide a lot of money to people who are blue-collar workers who work for me, servers in restaurants." giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

I once did a trivia night with some European friends (a French and a German) and when the question was "What date did WW2 end," I deferred to their immediate answer, because they should know better than me. We got it wrong (because the war continued after Germany's defeat).

Colorado wants people to report river otter sightings to track the population. One problem: People don't know what river otters look like. Hope this helps👇

Robert Caro (he gives Robert Jordan a run for his money on length, and has more substance!)

I just had to listen to a minute of Candace Owens and I feel dumber.

I’m on season five of The Wire and even they don’t go that far in their corruption… (it’s a pretty messed up season)

Knowing nothing about this person, this was a good interview/podcast. I learned some (predictable) things about this person. Overall the host did a relatively good job holding him to account. Also, they reference a “Tim Alberta” which just sounds like the Canadian version of Tim Apple.

It’s so weird to think of Justin Trudeau posting this tweet while wearing a backwards Allouettes cap and smashing beers with Katy Perry at Coachella

I'd just like to remind everyone that Marilyn Gladu felt it wasn't enough to vote against the legalization of marijuana, she had to read a poem to that effect in the House.

The person who invented this must have never experienced joy in their life or sought to remove it from everyone else’s.

Something about these notes from Squadcast always make me laugh. Like the technology needs a self-help guru.
