Absolute horses Pick up the rice in the church where a wedding has been

What I’ve learned from talking about EVs online is that 75% of the population lives 100 miles from the nearest charger and commutes 300 miles to work every day.

The sudden sensation that you've drank this lime pop before: the French call it Bájà Dew.

On the one hand, you can never accuse Holyday of violating his core belief that nobody should ever get anything from the city government (with certain car- and leaf-related exceptions). On the other, what sort of scammy reseller would be dissuaded by only $10?

Coming in at -20 in Alberta, considering his stance on fossil fuels and pipelines, is basically the province falling madly in love.

Do Go On is one of my favourite podcasts, where three Australian comedians present reports on subjects like Shirley Temple, or DashCon, or D&D. But hearing them enunciate the second "T" in "Toronto"... oh man. It'd be like me really *nailing* the "OWWWW" in "Melbourne", or the "SIGH" in "Sydney".

Me, when I really, really think I'm great at socializing.

I can't even play this game properly (no Windows box, my Mac in an emulator skips enough random frames to make it An Experience). BUT EVEN SO: I recommend Kitsune Tails 1500%. If you've got either Windows or a faster Mac than an M1 Pro, go go go click click click buy buy buy.

In the Vatican justice system, the Catholics are ruled by two separate yet equally important groups: the Pope, who is weak on crime, and the Pope, who is criticizing America. These are his stories. (DONK-donk)

“He’s innocent until proven guilty in a trial.” (I look down at myself. I am neither a California or United States judge, nor am I on a jury.) Huh, weird. It appears I’m allowed to use my human judgement to notice that this guy looks and acts guilty as hell.

Times were they wouldn’t even put “Ping“ on the arcade cabinet. Gorf’s full name was Gorfton Carmichael-Reese. Atari released a game called The Quest for Quintana Roo and that six-word title caused the video game crash.

They sent people 'round the moon Who all carried harpoons 'cause if the moon is haunted You would surely want it To kill a moon ghost goon

“You see, Aslan, I’m now going to lecture you about how the old magic works, because obviously you’re too busy to go out and get any firsthand experience with it.”

If the people who owned Paw Patrol really cared, the Paw Patrol movie could have been a cinematic masterpiece that rivals Citizen Kane, and anyway that’s what a whole bunch of you talking about the new Mario movie sounds like.

If any of my NDP-supporting friends need some optimism, I’m just gonna put this out there: All this “look at this nepo baby idiot, he’ll never win an election with crazy ideas like that” rhetoric is… …y’know, kinda familiar. Not endorsing, just observing.

Hollywood is cooked.

“You liked the wizard school full of adventurous, active children? Here’s basically the same thing: a wizard school full of 75-year-old academic cranks who won’t get out of bed for less than three dinners.” (I love Discworld, but it borders on malpractice to claim it is a substitute good.)

Trying to keep all these avocados from popping back up is just one giant game of guacamole.

Very cool how this year the Oscars honored popcorn movies (One Battle After Another, Sinners, Kpop Demon Hunters), and films of significant artistic merit (One Battle After Another, Sinners, Kpop Demon Hunters).

You went to Sheridan? Where’s your Oscar, then?

This is exactly the sort of laser-sharp focus on issues that matter that have made the Liberal Democrats a political party that exists.

Yet another poll that reveals about 13% of voters want a Conservative government led by Mark Carney.

Brad: 13% Ford: 29%

It’s just nice seeing the Brian Scalabrine of F1 doing what he loves.

First they came for the trans people, and I said nothing because I wasn’t trans. Then they were like actually I’m pretty sure you are trans and I said no I’m not and they went okay well show us your penis then and I said what no get out of my face and they said that one’s a girl get her

I won’t rest until we’ve got “Bluesky Trends” trending.

To read this skeet in the form of a much better, much more witty, Nebula Award-winning short story, please refer to Isabel J. Kim’s “Why Don’t We Just Kill the Kid in the Omelas Hole”.

If a person won’t try to find an inherent human right they think should be stripped from them, they don’t get to be surprised when other people don’t try either.

@icklenellierose.bsky.social In important statistical news: Luke is taller than an Australian.

I honestly don’t mean this as a subtweet or a burn: I hope James revisits this and talks about what we learned about the bigger political picture, because you can’t get much more decisive than a 27-point swing to victory.

Congratulations to the Labour Party for being the UK’s number one afterthought.

It feels appropriate to say “oh my gosh, you gave a guest role to the house?”

yes, clearly that's the issue here

I keep hearing this city is pandering to cyclists. If it pandered any harder, it’d hire thugs to beat them up.

In the tabletop space, this is why the Star Wars TTRPG succeeded. You want to do space wizard stuff? Go for it! *Anyone* can have cool space wizard potential! “Skywalker family, etc. [note: etc. subject to change without notice]” is exactly as interesting as it sounds, which is not very.

“0 is cold and 100 is hot, it’s logical” Oh cool, so you use kilometres per hour then?

Roses are red I’ve got writer’s block

You REPLY to Miette? You reply to Miette like the conversation? Jail for original poster!

If we stapled leaf blowers to the front of the streetcars, Holyday would go on a hunger strike to get free TTC and complete transit signal priority.

Discord gives you free voice chat, free file storage and transfer, persistent history, federated direct messaging, powerful mod tool support, and a huge third party app ecosystem, and setting up your own server takes two clicks. So that’s your table stakes for getting people to move back to IRC.

See, I have hobbies.

Y'know what? "Yakety Sax" as a piece of music sounds 100% yakety sax. There's no other way you could describe it. Yakety sax from head to toe.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

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.

If Hebrew only had one word for how sometimes one small thing is enough, dayenu.

We need the NDP to step up before we're a two-party state. 38% of the vote would have won handily (and probably with majority governments) in two-thirds of the federal elections since 2000.

Bluesky replies absolutely not beating the "nothing is a joke and nobody ever says inaccurate things for comedic purposes" allegations.

Dear Americans who could not stop falling over yourselves to praise Global News for being too lazy to check their email on a holiday weekend: People who live here told you to not be so goddamn stupid. If Bari Weiss was from Lethbridge you'd be praising her, too.
