No One Wants To Work Anymore: We gave these 50 Gen Z's and Millennials a chance to decide which half of them wanted to go to work on Sunday and the decision took 5 agonizing hours

The Macgruber Zone of mid-budget namebrand cameo comedies that no one will ever admit "that's my favorite movie" but once every 6 months or so it will come up in conversation and everyone will agree "oh yeah that hit"

Opening my luggage after 10 days in France/Belgium, and the overpowering stench of cigarettes and restaurant grease on all my clothes just pours out like the beams of light from the Ark in Indiana Jones

Update to this post from September:

Subtropical Storm Karen has officially formed and been named by NOAA today. It's way up north in the Atlantic and bound to fizzle out by tomorrow. A huge loss for low-effort hack comedy to not have a Hurricane Karen make landfall.
Subtropical Storm Karen suddenly formed overnight in the northern Atlantic Ocean, becoming the 11th named storm of the 2025 hurricane season. It is forecast to continue northeast in hostile weather Friday morning.

As a subtropical storm, Karen has characteristics of both tropical and extratropical cyclones.

As of 7 a.m. Friday, Karen was 570 miles north-northwest of the Azores and producing maximum sustained winds of 45 mph. It was moving northeast at 9 mph, according to forecasters with the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

Their "random Canadian brand nostalgia" section reminded me of this lil' guy. Holy shit. Murphy Molar. He was to teeth what Elmer The Safety Elephant was to road safety.

(Sometimes I say something and have to stress "Ontario is a real place")

Potentially big times for the Windsor-based shirt brand I found a while back that sells these tongue-in-cheek shirts for locals
From Windsor based Brand Dead, a baseball shirt featuring the Jays logo but the words Detroit Tigers An inverse of the earlier shirt, this time with the retro 80s Tigers logo but Toronto Blue Jays on the text

"Middle seat between Chris Rock and Adam Sandler? Talk about banter!"

you get on the plane with your shitty beat-up carryon luggage with a squeaky wheel and a big grin on your face, Adam Sandler motions over a flight attendant, you're politely but firmly told you've been moved to the 8PM flight

I fundamentally reject any "which seat are you sitting at" prompt with an airplane layout full of famous people. "Ooh this seat looks fun." No it isn't. It's air travel. They've got Airpods in and they're downing three Ambiens with a scotch

Imagining a 50-year-old Texas cop who looks and sounds exactly like Hank Hill wearing a Dead Kennedys shirt and a keffiyeh scarf and just hanging around Austin dive bars going "y'all fellas hear of any good antifa plans lately"

My rule when it comes to air travel is "never fly on a one-syllable airline." Imagine how embarrassing it will be when your loved ones say you died in Zwoop Flight 32 or whatever

I'm delighted to inform you that each station has its own theme jingle that plays on the Paris tram system. Some have a jaunty little drum beat, some have a sexy little saxophone ditty.

Man I'm so glad I'm on Bluesky instead of Twitter now for when Don Cherry dies, and I won't have to do the whole "wow RIP to a titan of our childhood and a uniquely Canadian figure" dance out of fear of some guy sending me a bomb in the mail if I'm not sufficiently mournful

This newly-kicked-off NHL season is the first in league history where players don't have to be in full suit & tie while entering the arena, which I personally think rocks, as it might be the thing that finally kills Don Cherry

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Posters I liked, from the French WWII Resistance museum:

1. A giant broom sweeping away all the symbols of fascism/Vichy government at the end of the war
2. A graffitied French tricolor over the swastika
A giant broom sweeps away an eagle, swastika, and other assorted German paraphernalia. Text in German I can't read but it's something like "out with the old" The Blue white and red of France is painted over a swastika on a brick wall
