This is a hell of a first paragraph of a Wikipedia entry.

Why, IN GODS NAME, would you reboot TJ Hooker. It's most notable for starting Heather Locklear's career and being the other thing William Shatner did. Is there something groundbreaking about it that I'm missing? Is there a fan base clamouring for it?

I honestly hoped it was TekWar.

So at least 500 billion then.

The past is a foreign country.

If I was born in 1900 I probably would have died when I was a month old. Or my asthma would have gotten me when I was around 10. Then I'd have the opportunity to die in the trenches or from the Spanish Flu. Only to return home to hard scrabble farming that...

In an otherwise fairly straightforward article why did they choose to word the Christchurch Shooting as though it was an unfortunate accident that befell 51 people? I don't think it's to minimize white supremacy...is it just a weird style thing?

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation, a small c conservative advocacy group, has a petition against automatic tax filing by the CRA. When you click away from the petition, an ad for the "Grumpy Accountant" with "Tax Tips" pops up. Thanks for immediately confirming my suspicion CTF.

He's not just a troll. He's a radicalized troll. Who believes he's a new god-king sent to save humanity and lead us to galaxy spanning glory. He's the worst kind of nerd. A shallow one. He likes how Star Trek, Star Wars, or Dune look, but has no understanding of what they mean.

Fuck Elon Musk.

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Yes, this is an idiotic insult against one of the US staunchest allies and major trade partner. But more importantly. It's a decades old hack joke. By the majestic silver hair of Leslie Nielsen, get newer material. Next he'll be calling us hosers and mispronouncing 'about' at us.
