I am trying my damndest to shop local for gifts, and if it needs to be shipped, avoiding Amazon and buying direct. Except the past three direct buys from stores automatically fulfilled and shipped my order using Amazon.
There is no winning at this game, is there.

As someone said, they fell for it because the US ambassador has been saying really crazy real stuff, so it didn's sound far-fetched.
Time Magazine quoting a @thebeaverton.com article about the US shooting a "patriot missile" at Parliament Hill like it's something Pete Hoekstra actually said might be my favourite moment of the week. Congrats, @ianmmacintyre.bsky.social, you very serious reporter! www.cbc.ca/news/world/b...
'Made-up quote' in Canadian satire site The Beaverton fools Time Magazine | CBC News
In a recent article about the United States' strained relationships with other countries, Time Magazine included a made-up quote from Canadian satire site The Beaverton — seemingly as fact.

Canadians! You can now vote for the Canadian Word of the Year!
(If we had the option to choose a Canadian WOTY in French as well, I'd suggest the gender-neutral pronoun "iel" which has been in the news a lot in Quebec this year, but probably not applicable since this is an English dictionary)

2025 has been an eventful year for Canada's identity. To commemorate the year, The Society for Canadian English is choosing a 2025 word of the year (CWOTY), based on the Dictionary of Canadianisms on Historical Principles.

Up until now, I’ve made my book design students figure out a cover concept based on the themes in Frankenstein. You wouldn’t believe how many realized this idea after *actually* reading the text.
I'm losing my mind over how many reviewers are like "GDT's Frankenstein makes you wonder who the real monster is." THAT'S THE STORY! That's the story Shelley wrote!
