I dreamed I had to find someplace to bury a body and I'm comfortable blaming that on Pluribus too.
I did actually have a post-apocalyptic nightmare last night.

I do know it's politics, but all the parties saying 'People don't want this budget, but they don't want an election more' (exactly how I feel, tbh) and the Liberals running with 'TRIUMPHANT BUDGET SUCCESS' is so exhausting.
🚨 NO ELECTION 🚨
The vote barely squeaked by thanks to abstentions.
Final tally: 170 yeas, 168 nays

Could we be getting an ELECTION for Christmas?
Well, the Liberals still need one more “yes” vote to avoid that (or two abstentions), making the vote that’s taking place in two hours a real nail-biter.
Here’s where things stand right now, with a little help from @supriya.bsky.social:

I wish men truly understood how often their peers only pretend to cultivate women's talents because they want to fuck us. I am a short Canadian nobody and it happened to me when I was starting out my screenwriting career no less than four times before I turned 26
