Aw, dang- this episode of Frieren is going to make me cry again, isn't it.

There was so much bad music being made in the late '90s, it's almost easy to forget that In the Aeroplane Over the Sea was released in 1998.

I think I may have food poisoning, but if I ask my doctor, they'll probably say something like, "Your regular diet is functionally the same as food poisoning. Some of this stuff isn't even food!"

Not even a joke, now- I am fucking done with being delayed because people on Roncesvalles are apparently too stupid to not park their cars in the way of the streetcar tracks.

Look- I have no idea if the president did or did not actually shit himself, but the people around him and his staff certainly acted like he did.

If they ever attempt another version of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, I have no strong opinions on casting except that Matt Berry should absolutely play Zaphod Beeblebrox.

Try to live your life in a way that people remember you on social media the way they are remembering Catherine O'Hara, and not the way they will likely remember Donald Trump.

I think that Toronto streetcars should be permitted to ram parked cars that are blocking the tracks. In fact, I they should have devices affixed to the front to better facilitate this.

Attention Comrades- Grigori Bovinov has been purged from the Directorate of Frontier Security and expelled from the Party.

That is all.

Oh, no- Trump turned on a guy who was doing his dirty work once he started drawing too much heat.

Who could have predicted.

You know, it's a shame the Marines bumped JD Vance up to E-4.

I mean, "Vance" just rhymes with "Lance" so well.

Somehow, I think this new strategy of "executing all the nicest people in your neighborhood" is starting to backfire on the current regime.

I hope all these dumb fucks who signed up for ICE realize that if the president does actually invoke the Insurrection Act, it's going to be open season on them long before the military gets there. Won't even matter where they are.

It's your asses that are on the line, dickbags.

I love listening to old French chanson while I cook. This song was initially popular during the 1871 Paris Commune, but newer arrangements continued to attract appreciation throughout the 1930s and during the German occupation.
