Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

A reminder that women’s sports are kept separate from men’s not to protect women from always losing to men, but rather to ensure that no man ever loses to a woman.
I’m not making this up; that’s literally the reason.

Since he’s in the news lately, I’ll point out that his autobiography is actually a really good read. “My stories, my times”, not the “Years as PM” one.
Though that one’s also probably relevant here.

That aside, it’s not a joke; it’ll have to be met with swift and staunch resistance from the rest of the world. We’re going to need to rally our allies and get to work finding ways to resist this bullshit attempt at annexation, by any means necessary.
It simply cannot be allowed to happen.

It’s been a while since I was so virulently anti-American about any particular foreign policy coming from south of the border, and that’s saying a lot because I really dislike most of their policies.
But this is just a step too far. It’s not the kind of thing you joke about.

With less than two weeks until the next Trump presidency, he’s threatening to take over Canada.
This existential threat to Canadian sovereignty will be met by more resistance than anyone has yet managed to put into words.
It’s not going to work, and it’ll galvanise the world against America.

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via study that still underestimates climate cost.
