It's been like 5-10 years since we've had a cross-border relationship among captains. The current captains are dating their countrywomen.
And US-Canada international relations are the worst they've been in decades. Coincidence? I think not.

Trying to locate a children’s picture book—from the ‘90s or before—where a famous cheese is stolen, and also a submersible is sawed in half by a sawtooth shark. Thought the protagonist might be a mouse detective, which led me to the “Anatole” books, but that’s been a dead end.

It says, “ffs y did u give me nightmares goddamn I legit had to put my phone down a couple times just to avoid freaking out wtf”
