When our younger son got married, our older son, the officiant, waited until we were all quiet, looked out over the crowd and began: "Mawwiage... is what bwings us togevah today" and we all just lost it
Taking a break from the sickening tragedy to focus on the beauty for a moment. Rob Reiner achieved something so rare and coveted that artists and entertainers dream of and rarely achieve: cultural permanence. How many times have you made a reference to something going to 11?

I've started using a ToDo list again, which never worked for me in the past but for some reason is working now. I've gone from feeling vague amorphous anxiety about the things I haven't done to feeling extremely focused anxiety about the things I haven't done. A refreshing change of pace 😐

December 6, 1989: An armed man killed 14 women and injured 13 other people at École Polytechnique. Fuelled by misogyny, he claimed he was "fighting feminism". We must never forget the horror of that day. I'm honoured to be joined by community leaders to name the victims. #CallItFemicide

I can’t promise that this is the first time a Canadian publisher of a beloved children’s book series has publicly condemned the bloodthirsty US secretary of defense’s use of its imagery to smirkingly defend heinous war crimes. I mean who can say.

a lotta pumped-up coverage from the press on this vote - nobody in opposition had any desire at all to trigger an election
