This audiobook is going to be so good, friends!

I mean I can’t say that I’m surprised that Poilievre’s endless attack mode has an expiry date for people but with the Liberals basically being Con Lite there’s only so much delight I can take in it

I learned a lot today but one thing I could have done without learning is that when they clean the grease traps in an industrial kitchen it creates a stench nightmare from which there is little, if any, deliverance

Haha these fools have given me the corporate credit card

It is snowing a little this morning so I can get my reflex 'ooo how pretty' reaction out of the way and get straight on to 'ugh fuck winter' before we're even halfway through November. Efficiency!

In addition to the great points in this thread I would like to grab the people making these decisions and ask them what they know about 'soft power'. There will probably be nations willing to step forward as Canada steps back and it's important to think about what *that* looks like.

wooooo muscle relaxants wooooo

celebrate the wins celebrate the FUCK out of the wins

I'm not sure, on balance, that it's a really positive sign that a Conservative MP is crossing the floor to join the Liberals. If that's looking like an attractive option, the Liberals have gone way the fuck right, haven't they?

Stealing another day. Hup.

The Carney budget is probably going to be a bitter pill. Healthcare needs investment across the country, probably not going to get it, because 'sacrifice'. Big money spent on things that matter to bankers. The last federal election was a bleak choice that's looking worse all the time.

Damn, that corpse is *delighted*. You go be a soul, friendo - I got everything I need.

I can't wait to see who is being asked to 'sacrifice'. Obviously it won't be society's most vulnerable, because that would be www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

I dunno. Demma looks like they hope we can be friends!

Wow. Big moment. Would be something for the government not to fight it. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The people who run this city seem to care about very little beyond 1) are property taxes low 2) are developers happy and 3) are people being made to work in the downtown core.

Ok, Immanuel Kant, your argument for humanity entering an Age of Reason is compelling in some ways and yet I offer this counter www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Turns out the three mining companies in a trench coat country really loves environmental ruin, who knew

Ooof what a loss last night for the Jays. Sports is just sports but that was something. This was a good team. No-one thought they would do much of anything at the start of the season and they gave us one of the most fun to watch editions of the Blue Jays.

Ok walk this off, Toronto, I'm old over here.

What a postseason for Ernie Clement, who very few people who weren't Jays fans would even have heard of in August.

Nothing but love for Max Scherzer. If that was his only season in Toronto he made it a legendary one.

Something tells me they're not going to walk Vlad to pitch to Bichette this time.

Absolute scenes with the benches emptying in Game 7 of the World Series, wow

If the Jays go on to win this, Bo Bichette hitting a 3 run dinger on a peg leg is going to be one of those legendary moments.

Look this is just a way way way better omen than a Leafs jersey

Giving a shit about other people goes a long, long way As opposed to the alternate view, which I tend to think of as "fuck you, I got mine"

Ok, Blue Jays. One. More. Win.

I think all cats are good at the 'who me' innocent look but if I demand to know what the fuck my grey tabby Francis is doing he will look at me with wide eyes and start purring. Manipulative little...

Ok but are we gonna talk about why the bot is in a tiny French maid's dress or

Happy Halloween. Bring the treats.

This is very wise and I think applies to basically all art. You can and should just do it, for yourself.

morning

I've never done this but I did once ask @daviddemchuk.com about the etiquette of straight people going to Pride events. 'Oh, and I was having such a pleasant morning...' I'M SORRY

CONGRATUMALATIONS to 2025 Guest of Honour Premee Mohamed for pillaging another award! Huzzah!

2 of 3 in LA was not anticipated. This. Team. Could be a fun Halloween.

These dudes saying stuff like this and name their companies 'Palantir' have obviously failed to get the part that both Gondor and Rohan were thoroughly and utterly doomed and fucked without the arrival of the hobbits. The 'hard men' were going to lose because to Tolkien, you don't win via 'hard'.

Free-range measles in Ottawa! Oh man, we are not smart. If you're of a certain age (like me) maybe investigate if you need to get your vaccine boosted.

Prince of Darkness is a strange, uneven movie but it a) has Alice Cooper murdering someone with half of a bicycle and b) has such a genuinely disturbing mood about it.

End of day

Another sunny autumn run. Hup.

I am in one of my insomnia phases and so I would very much like, in regards to today's requirements, to Not. Thank you.

To be blunt, what the fuck does Bill Gates know about it? Guy knows computers I am sure, but we gotta stop assuming anyone rich has any particular wisdom and is really anything other than fortunate.

Everyone loves Vlad but Alejandro Kirk is fantastic.

Our pal Doug Ford tried to do this in Ontario as well but there was so much outcry that he backed down. Hopefully the same happens in Alberta. The right to strike is fundamental.

Remarkable revels from the sea! They're a comin, @premeemohamed.com !
