OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":
".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

Today is National Indigenous Veterans Day.
This day honours the contributions of the First Nations, Inuit and Metis who served in the Canadian Armed Forces.
They fought for Canada despite being denied rights by the country.
This is the story of some of those veterans.

My main thought about this anti-feminism, tradwife, woke-gone-too-far trend is that it's presented as bold, new thinking
And it is instead the same boring, lazy, heterodox-if-you're-in-1930, men-are-hunters pop psychology nonsense I've heard from old men shaking their fists in the pub after 5 pints

Canada is way too self-conscious for Eurovision. At best I could see us aiming for ironic camp and badly missing the mark.
Just noticed that the Budget calls for Canada to join Eurovision. Like we are never going to get the points, guys. Unless we join the Eastern European block.

I hate the “maybe next year” posts more than most so I am not even going to attempt one.
But man, the Blue Jays. That was the most fun I’ve had in sports in decades.
So much had to go right for them that the concept of doing it again seems impossible.

Is this series rigged against us? Seriously, is it?
I can’t believe the last two ninth innings have ended in ways that make absolutely no sense.
