One thing I dislike about modern horror is the need to come up with some reason that everyone’s phones don’t work so the teens about to be turned into hamburger can’t just call for help.

Donald Trump is too simple-minded to realize that when he brags about the White House's tacky new Caesars Palace Ballroom being "privately funded," he's admitting to taking bribes from influence peddlers, millionaires, and corporations that want something from him.

I’m sure you’ve seen the video by now: King Trump gets into a jet fighter and attacks the American people by dumping watery sh*t all over them. So dignified. Such a child. What

Robert Clothier was known across Canada as Relic on The Beachcombers.
But long before that show premiered, he was a decorated Second World War pilot who flew over 50 combat missions in Europe and had to learn to walk again following a crash.
This is his amazing story.

Trump is responsible for the soybean and beef farmer chaos we are watching unfold right now. Now, he wants to buy beef from Argentina, hanging our farmers out to dry. Until the GOP breaks from him on his mission of economic arson, they're #ArgentinaFirst

Children are safer at Drag Queen Story Hour than being alone with Christian cis men.

That’s a fact.

The pattern of "religious" men abusing children is real and documented. It's infuriating that LGBTQ+ people bear the brunt of moral panic rhetoric while the actual harm to children is coming from the very people doing the loudest screaming about "protecting" them. #NotADragQueen

Silas H. Shelton has been accused of abusing his religious authority to groom a teenage girl.

I honestly don’t care about The Blue Jays, baseball in particular or sports in general, but as long as The Jays keep winning, and it pisses off MAGA, I’ll maintain a marginal amount of interest.

And America wasn’t exactly lining up to help the Allies in WWII. The war had already been going on for more than 2 years before America entered after Pearl Harbor.

I understand your frustration though.

The same oligarchs screwing over America are screwing over the rest of the world too.

It’s a juggling act trying to deal with the the Orange maniac without blowing up trade and security arrangements. Plus, America’s allies are trying to mitigate the damage he’s causing in their own countries.

Pauline McGibbon made history throughout her life.
The first female Lt. Governor, the first female chancellor of both the University of Toronto and University of Guelph and the first woman to lead the Canadian Conference of the Arts.
This is her story.

There’a an allure about the ball park that makes it a lot more fun. I’ve been to a few live games, and enjoyed myself, but it’s not high on my list of interests anymore.

I used to love sports, but watching millionaires play games to make billionaires richer isn’t my bag anymore.
