After a combination of a series of layoffs/GTFOs, a former colleague thought I’d be good at writing proposals. So I applied for a position and got hired I’ve been there over 3 years.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Back on the American Revolution and I’m imagining theatre kids watching this like
a man says " where is he " in front of a sign that says nbc
Alt: a man says " where is he "

Is last night’s AEW episode the first time a women’s tag team used the expression “cuck queen” on a live broadcast?

Also: “sayonara, slop tarts!”
"Whatever sick, twisted sh*t we dream up, we promise to enjoy every single second of it!"

Timeless Love Bombs (Toni Storm + Mina Shirakawa) send a message to Megan Bayne and Marina Shafir ahead of their semifinal match in the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championship Tournament!

Watched this other day (excellent reporting as always from Jacques) and I wonder how many times Poilievre practiced that chuckle in the mirror.

I know my accent sounds like an Irish pirate after 3 rum & cokes but I just spent the week with my American colleagues and why do they pronounce “scotch” like “scatch?”

I’m remembering the guy in my old neighbourhood who could be heard and seen pushing around a grocery cart filled with bottles he’d take to the redemption centre. But what I really remember is the typically imaginative nickname he was given by Saint Johners: “Bottle Man.”

I like the part in Star Trek: The Motion Picture where Kirk tells Scotty the Enterprise has to launch in 12 hours, one of which is spent admiring the ship from his little shuttle.

Oooh! She’s a suspect AND the victim’s sex therapist!
Watching Law & Order for the first time in 25 years bc an acquaintance has a small guest spot. They still do the thing where they interview a witness while he stacks objects at his job. It’s very comforting.
