For the #Newskies (and even the #Oldskies), this place is not immune to the problems from The Bad Place. Here's an easy way to reduce a lot of them though:

A message to the orange cancer: No, we will never be the 51st state. Yes, you do need things we have. Stop trying to distract from the Epstein files. Your diaper stinks. #CanadaStrong🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp

Trump says that Canada sucks. Trump wants Canada to join the US. Those two things don't make sense together. That's how you know either he's lying or his brain is broken (most likely both). #CanadaStrong🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp

I was planning to buy a new phone this autumn or winter. For the first time in well over a decade, it looks like it's not going to be one with Google's logo on it. So... should I give my phone money to Samsung or Sony?

Dear Google, I use many of your online services, subscribe to Google One, and my phone is a Pixel. If you rename Lake Ontario in Google Maps, I'm going to rename you to "self-hosted and Samsung". Don't be a compliant pawn in a decrepit windbag's ego war.

Little known fact - Dolly was an uncredited producer on Buffy The Vampire Slayer (both movie and TV series), and she paid out of her own pocket when she found out female producers made less than male staff.

Count Binface got almost a third of the votes against Nigel Farage. I would like to congratulate the Count on his most successful campaign yet, and thank him for being the only significant candidate to take on the challenge. #ClactonElection

It's about time a news organization finally listened to all the allegations. I still can't believe Leto wasn't taken down during the height of #MeToo. Hopefully this is the end of that creep.
