It’s my birthday.

Stoic Undiagnosed Sexymen!!

I'm sorry if this makes me a monster, but there are so many other 2000s Canadian bands—and other 2000s Montreal bands—that I would have given the international TV sensation rub before that one if I controlled the universe.

テツヤ! テツヤ! テツヤ!

I imagine Endo was like "I respect the bit, but you must understand that I am allergic to clothing. It's already such a great sacrifice to keep this much of my lower half covered."

There are so many struggling writers who can actually provide context and analysis for what happened in AEW last night and what that actually means and I hope a bunch of them are paid to do so. Because "lol, Trump lost WRESTLING FANS?" is not going to cut it.

And yeah, there is an awful lot of unchecked classism going on in the way this platform treats wrestling and wrestling fans.

I have been to many indie wrestling and real sports events. Anecdotally, the crowds at wrestling shows have overwhelmingly been more progressive and inclusive on every possible social/human rights issue and identity. Also: better t-shirts.

In light of ALL THE THINGS, can someone please ask Doug Ford if his support of Donald Trump is still unwavering and if he’d still feel comfortable leaving his daughters alone in a room with him?

I renewed my health card today! Which is always a humiliating experience in a province that doesn't think people who don't drive are people.

I'm not sure why I'm so sad about the Hiromu news when anyone who has been listening to him has seen this coming for a while and he'll probably end up in a promotion I watch more. But still. This really is the end of an era now.

Does anyone else spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about what Sabrina Carpenter and Lee Hazlewood could have done together?

I've seen a few "have you heard her sister's music" posts around social media today and while I don't want to make the loss or celebrate of Catherine O'Hara about anyone other than the incredible Catherine, I do love when Mary Margaret gets her flowers.

It's been ages since Banjara closed its Eglinton location and yet I still receive a birthday email from them every year, inviting me to celebrate at their Bloor or Eglinton locations. Thanks, Banjara. I'll have a less happy birthday now that I'm remembering what we've lost. Again.

The thing that bothers me so much about Carney's joke about greenlighting the Heated Rivalry show is that it furthers the narrative that it's a needle in a haystack. Anyone who reads Canadian books and watches Canadian film knows that we could have dozens more HRs with enough funding.

Bets on RFK thinking this was her fault, too.

Absolutely no idea what someone with such cool ideas about the intersection of MMA and wrestling is going to get out of American wrestling.

The anti-trans and anti-autistic reporting Venn diagram is awfully close to being a circle.

Oh, of course I'd immediately gravitate to the anxious retired musician who started watching DDT in elementary school

The kicker on the NYT coverage of the new IACC is embarrassingly bad. “The chelation vaccine hyperbaric oxygen gluten people represent us more than ASAN or Autism Society” is just brain worms. How is that the last word on a panel filled with kooks and quacks?

The heat’s out again, so the cat is waiting patiently for us to build her traditional thermodynamic blanket fort.

1 like = 1 random line from one of my WIPs/published works!

I saw someone ask why Sarah McLachlan was so ubiquitous in the 90s, but why do you even need to ask? She had something for everyone! You could cry, make out, fuck, break up, dissociate, dance, have a mental breakdown, and fundraise for animals to her music.

I can't say that I recommend discovering that you have some kind of low level but day-ruining level of photosensitivity to the flashing lights of a fancy new residential building fire alarm system after you've moved into a new building where the fire alarm goes off all of the goddamned time.

Anyone else half expecting the Eglinton lrt to spontaneously combust next week? Or disappear into a different realm?

I've somehow wound up on the PR list for a funeral related business and am slightly tempted to write back and say that I'm sorry, but Mumufication is the only burial process that I am interested in writing about. (But seriously, does anyone want to pay me to write about Mumufication?)

Five fave 70s films Deathdream The Brood The Silent Partner Cries and Whispers Female Prisoner 701: Scorpion I owe the Canadian tax shelter era so much.

The more exciting revelation here for me is that Armando Iannucci is about the join the grand tradition of brilliant writers who are moderately to completely useless at Taskmaster.

What I've learned from this experiment is that I compartmentalize my interests way more than I thought, because there are a whole lot of people in my life who have never heard of Tokyo Drifter or Seijun Suzuki. I just assumed everyone who has ever met me was sick of hearing about his films.

Got it into my head that I should recreate this promotional shot from my 6th favorite film on my balcony today.

You can tell that someone only has a surface understanding of DDT when they make sweeping statements about their "young female fans." Because as someone who actually interacts with a number of Japanese women who love DDT and follows more? Some of that demo is also posting about menopause.

I have now created a template letter you can send to your MPP if you're in Ontario or to your MP anywhere in Canada; while this is primarily a provincial issue, it could also have major repercussions nationally & that must be considered Template below:

That's my boy! My totally normal and socially smooth boy!

Maybe in the sense that most people proudly wearing the Asperger’s label in 2026 are likely to have supremacist tendencies and AI is the tool of fascists? I guess?

Yes, that exactly who and what he is.

I wonder how the autistic influencer who armchair diagnosed Ye with PDA (pathological demand avoidance, sometimes reframed as pervasive drive for autonomy) and suggested that maybe he went Nazi because not being a Nazi felt like a demand is feeling today.

There is not a lot Canadians can do about ICE, but we can ask Parliament to investigate Canadian companies doing business with them, like Hootsuite. Call or email your MP - or contact the INDU House committee MPs. Will post link below. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

I have secured tickets to see the Forever Champ.

I know I should let this go. There are obviously far more important concerns in the world, but sometimes an autistic person's gonna ruminate. And I think this is a funny development. Two hot women from this conversation eventually said that I might not be attractive, but I had some nice features.

Not content to steal writers' jobs, AI is now coming for our origin stories.

Great pratfall from Miu here.

Well, my girlfriend got married and moved to America, but at least I have this gremlin child I found somewhere. I will raise her to be even more of a menace than I am.

Happy 6th anniversary to that time Daisuke Sasaki got a sword.

Sometimes Uta appears seemingly out of nowhere to cause more chaos.

I didn't know it was possible for these two to be even more charming together.

MnNEAT has created these communication tools to help nonspeakers, or those who may lose speech due to stress, invoke their rights if they are stopped by ICE. As always, please be very careful when taking something out of a bag or wallet in front of police or ICE. mnneat.wixstudio.com/mnneat/safet...

Oh, I just saw who is facing Take and Yuka at Grand Princess. Incredible. This is going to delight some people and infuriate others. And it's going to further amuse the delighted people when the infuriated people completely miss the point of this genius.

One tiny good thing that happened in this world is that Daisuke Sasaki won the Universal belt and celebrated by doing something fantastically ill advised.
