This is funny. But an annoying reality
“94% of Quebecers can speak French, including 85% who speak French regularly at home. According to Quebec politicians, these are signs that the French language is threatened with disappearing entirely.”

Quebec language politics have become increasingly disconnected from reality

Quebec language politics have become increasingly disconnected from reality
Language politics in Quebec have been co-opted by populists interpreting stats to suit pre-established narratives for political gain.

I took my eldest in to the school office yesterday for his 1st day at his new school. My old school. And omg, the new library is named after my old English teacher. My 1st Shakespeare was with him.

Who knew...
I was 18 when I called out Nazi shitheads causing trouble at the first Dead Kennedys show in Toronto. They threw bottles, spit, threat and bile. We held our ground. So I don't lose sleep when boomer /Gen X/ Incels have tantrums and throw threats online. Nazi punks fuck off.

Clearly the Green party does not deviate from its core. Hug the tree or be the problem.
While Trump lickspittle Pierre Poilievre fails to condemn an obvious violation of international law, it’s worth noting that 50% of Conservatives approve of the Trump administration.

This tells you everything you need to know about the state of the Conservative Party.

Sometimes Quebec is very progressive and at others bass ackwards.
“In the midst of all their scandals, the Legault government still found time to increase MNA salaries by nearly $10,000, just two years after giving themselves a 30% raise. With the affordability crisis hitting Quebecers hard, politicians completely failed to read the room.”

I like to read the book first. My most memorable being the edge of tomorrow. Book blew me away.
I even have a shelf dedicated to books that I read that are also movies. Not surprising Stephen King dominates and is the back row.
For book-to-film adaptations, do you prefer to read the book first or watch the movie before reading?

I was telling an old friend of mine how I was learning to draw to do my own graphic novel.
His response was to txt me a link to one of those slop bots and to tell me how it would be faster.
It was all I could do to keep my cool. Fast is not the point. Learning new is.
Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.

"I can't afford a visual artist"

So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?

Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.
