One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

This would be an excellent time for Ontario to have not stayed home while a clutch of spiral-eyed loonies voted in a folksy mobster with a grudge to settle against higher education.
But they did. And now we're ill-equipped to offer U.S.'s science refugees safe harbour.

Yeah, every year those bigots will be there with bells on.
'Tis the season for the Salvation Army's We're Not Bigots Anymore PR blitz. Looking at their public facing material, you might start to believe them.
So in the festive spirit, have a 2024 SalvationArmy.org article on how trans and gay people are one of Satan's "most insidious and dominating" plots.

There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.

International media, you can do better than this.
"Bamboo" is maybe exotic and a compelling hook but it is too easy. The real story here is the growing culture of corruption, including a lack of accountability and oversight, that enabled a chain of human errors that led to this disaster.

I just distinguish between humane, livable apartments and condos that are like overpriced urban-professional veal pens in the sky, which is what it feels like developers were cranking out for a decade and a half here.
