I try to be as sex positive as the next extremely uptight dude but nothing you do with excreta in the throes of passion ever needs to be memorialized in print. Just let it be your own filthy shared memory and look back fondly on it with self loathing and shame.

The president of the United States is on a poasting bender right now.

Okay Skyline. I'm thinking of doing a double feature of The Room and The Disaster Artist. Which order should I watch them in or is it a bad idea to double them up?

Canada's most endangered animal, with whom I am privileged to share an island, is slowly being brought back from the brink of extinction. Their numbers have been brought up nearly 20 fold in 22 years. Yay, marmots!

When the Marmot Recovery Foundation first began releasing marmots into the wild in 2003, there were just 22 remaining.

You now need a Real ID to board a plane. But fortunately for House Republicans, you still don’t need one to transport a minor across state lines.

OK, internet, from a pretty awesome discussion with someone who has a different view than me, have a question. Is the following hypothetical bullying:

Someone on my block rants to his Facebook friends every Saturday about how he hates seeing the damn kike walking to synagogue

I named my fists Sack and Lunch because you’re gonna wake up hungry.
I named my fists Kamtza and Bar Kamtza cuz they’re the reason you’re gonna get destroyed.
I named my fists White and Noise because you're about to experience an airborne toxic event.

I just don't need to know what the Telegraph has written about Dungeons & Dragons. It's a newspaper for people who are frightened of samosas.

The core problem is that in a state, something has to be sovereign - in a democracy, it is the people - and you can design and tinker as much as you like but there is no way to design around a loss of virtue in that sovereign entity.

If the people keep elected maniacs, no guardrails can hold.
one of the things dr schake and i were both wrestling with in this conversation--i think not really conclusively--is how you maintain the norm of civilian supremacy when the civilians are issuing objectively illegal, murderous orders

I didn’t know short ribs were $18/lb when I committed to making braised short ribs but here we are.
I did that recently but I’m thinking something similar. Maybe short ribs.

Hey Canadians. We're having a Zoom organizing meeting for the Rob Ashton for NDP leader campaign tomorrow at 3pm Eastern/ noon Pacific. Do you want to see the federal NDP get back to its labouring roots? If you've never gotten involved before, here's the sign you were waiting for.

Over the past few weeks, Rob has been on the road across the country, meeting workers where they are. From conversations across Ontario, to a standing-room-only event with more than 150 people in Vi...

Hey fellow Hosers. Don't be like this person. We've got plenty of aggressively stupid rubes up here too and hypocrisy is the ugliest of traits.

Being aggressively stupid seems an American trait.

I keep getting this bizarre scam call I can't figure out. It's a recorded voice that says "I have received your resume. Please contact me via WhatsApp."

That's it. I can't see what the angle is. No WhatsApp contact info if that's how WhatsApp works, no anything else.

Vexing.
