I am 100% disinterested in the Melania movie, but can we not with the misogyny? Her sex work is not what makes her a terrible person and that shouldn't be the focus of every criticism of her. In Stormy Daniels name, be better people.

In unrelated news, the Metro corporation reported revenues of over 22 billion for 2025. www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. .... *deep sigh* This tracks, honestly.

trans people seem to be freely entering and leaving womanhood and that really pisses off the people who want womanhood to be a cage

I think part of What's Going On with billionaires is that the daily friction of interacting with normal people is part of what anchors people to the real world, and once you have enough money to buy your way out of the friction you can knock down a load-bearing column propping up your sanity.

Good thread worth reading.

To continue the topic of culture-specific insults, my dad called my sister a "culchie" today because she lives in a smaller town and drives a pickup. Not a Canadian one this time - my dad is Irish.

I just watched a video that listed uniquely Canadian insults and now I'm fascinated to find out if people who don't live in Canada really don't use them. The list was skid, tool, knob, keener, buddy and goof. (And yes, each of them has a different meaning.)

Strongly held opinion: Meetings that go on for more than two hours need to have an intermission.

Pronouns: None of them really apply so whatever floats your boat. Height: 5'10" Zodiac: Wet goat in the west, wet tiger in the east Smoke: Only in the Morticia Addams sense Tattoos: 3 Piercings: Yes but the number keeps going up and down Fav Drinks: Beer & wine by choice, coffee by necessity.

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.

Holiday Zardoz has come to Halifax

Every once in a while somebody brings this book up in conversation and I get PTSD flashbacks every single time.

One annoying thing about having elderly an pet is that there are specialty foods available, but not if they have a combo of health conditions. I couldn't get arthritis food that was ALSO dental food, but I could get dental treats. Now he's on hypoallergenic, so dental & arthritis are off the table.

A friend sent me down an Anthrax rabbit-hole and now I have this song stuck in my head. youtu.be/be7iNHw8QoQ?... (1990. Fucking time, man.)

Saw a post on threads today, "All you women who said you would pick a bear over a man. I want to know which would you pick, a trans woman or a bear." Hundreds of replies and every single one says "the woman" and she is getting so mad she isn't getting the response she was looking for.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Well crap.

May as well call it the Aussie Filter!

I just found out my two-doors-down neighbour is a birder and I'm all ~Yessssss, tell me about your special interest, I want to hear about birdsssss~ (The only down side, I know this may open floodgates I currently just do not have time for.)

One of the kids wanted to see my cat, so I fetched him to the door and let her pet him. I could hear her hollering at her parents, "We can't leave yet, she's getting her cat!" "You're a witch, so you have to have a cat," she told me. "That's right. The Witches Union is very strict about it."

Trick-or-treaters vanished at the stroke of 8 pm. I imagine many of their parents wanted to rush home and catch the game. This leaves me with ~way~ too much left-over candy for my own safety.

Congratulations to all my friends who have won Glamour UK's Women of the Year title for 2025.

Doing this again on Saturday.

In a meeting going through a process improvement document that calls the steps to the ideal outcome the "Happy Path" and I literally had to force myself onto mute to stop the suggestion of Happy Trail from coming out of my mouth.

If Galaxy Quest gets to count as one of the best Trek movies, then Mystery Men is absolutely the best Marvel/DC superhero movie.

Sitting on hold for 90 minutes while the hold music plays the same four bars on infinite loop is my villain origin story.

Back in my leather-clad be-mohawked days I could probably pull off an 8, but these days I'm probably a 3. (And it's only that high because I'm still tall and can smack people with my cane.)

those Canadian products are so big and they last so long.

I love seeing the photos of the huge crowds out for No Kings yesterday, but also a bit alarmed for you all. Maybe you all should blur the easily-identifiable faces in your photos? There is safety in numbers, but you can't always be in numbers.

If you are an author, Please Leave Substack. They subsidise and outright provide fiscal funding services to the worst parts of society - literal neoNazis and bigots. If you're not an author, let the authors you read know: You won't read Substack.

If these evil putzes insist on stealing names from Tolkien, it's only fair that we start calling Stephen Miller "Wormtongue."

I'm a little older, so my examples would be 2001 Space Odyssey and Apocalypse Now.
