Power move.

No one in the GOP seems outraged at the other part of the joke. It's like - Oh, yeah. The Saddam comparison is totally on point. You got him. No argument here.

This is mind-blowing.

I'm really sick of how 'local' political campaigning has to pretend that people's concerns are unique in order to massage their desire to feel special and bolster the politician's claims to 'understand' them. These are universal concerns! Everybody wants this stuff!

Definitely the line of the day.

What is Canada Strong for if we don’t remember or appreciate our natural and cultural heritage?

I’m on tenterhooks to see if people couldn’t care less. For all intents and purposes we can’t nip it in the bud. So maybe it’s a moot point. But it would be great if people got these right.

Love this

Age of Innocence would have been a perfect movie if it didn't have Winona Ryder in it.

Yeah. We can't ignore that last night's message from the voters is "We want to be CANADIAN xenophobic assholes who don't understand or care how taxes and laws work."

This is how ridiculous this was. The map of the province is showing greater than 50% support to remain in Every. Single. Riding. In other words, even in oil sands territory, separatism couldn’t break through.

Ummmm….he picked it up!! 🎶

Never!

Go to your camera roll and search "boat" and then post a picture of a boat you like.

I would hop on planes and fly halfway around the world just to go to a particular play or music performance.

This walking dumpling? This liquid lunch guzzling used car salesman? This Brut for Men drenched, stretch belt wearing asshat? Shut the f🍁ck up.

A haunted house where every room has someone trying to high five you for small, non-sports related achievements.

Love the Obamas. But there’s a bunch of weird stuff in this photo. Why is he hovering his right foot above the ground? Why is Sasha kneeling on a narrow couch and where is she fitting her feet?

Sure. “Invasive lizards” seems like a pretty lightweight catastrophe right now. I didn’t even hang around to get more info.

19th C. women of a certain class walking alone along a street. No carriage waiting for them. No servant or companion. So many examples to choose from, I can't pick one. But the opposite, where they did it right, is the widow Garrett basically trapped in her hotel room in Deadwood.

I can't help but think that what really upset Kelly Clarkson was that they didn't recognize her.

Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).

And yet, (many) Albertans just can't let go of their fantasies that they're being denied their right to unfettered capitalism by everybody else.

Happy Thanksgiving! Today and every day we are thankful for Canadian archives, museums, galleries, and libraries.

Yes! Thanks to a crappy history of electing governments who put more money in corporate pockets than in workers’.

Or alternatively federal and provincial governments could provide sustainable funding to cultural heritage institutions...

How are we expected to believe the GAC is taking this seriously if they won't even be adjacent to people who are studying and reporting on it?

Impeccable.

How I arrived on Bluesky.

Sure, go ahead Florida. Piss off one of the few groups of Canadians who were still crossing the border.

I’ve been following this thread. But I didn’t post because I just couldn’t think what sketch to pick. And then this came up and I knew - the Pear Dream.

You mean Baghdad Bob Hassett?

This is also what happens when you live in community with other people. If you never overhear conversations on a crowded train or walking down a bustling street then you never get a chance to realize how many cultural touchstones you share with your fellow humans.

Oh, please do not worry about li’l ol’ me back here being left behind. Please. In fact, can you be more specific about when, exactly, you’re going to leave? I’m really going to be fine once I don’t have to listen to you threatening to leave al the time.
