Reports saying Trudeau is "considering prorogation or resignation" surely mean to say he is considering *both*. The only way a resignation would not cause absolute chaos is if it was timed with a prorogation, so that the Liberal caucus has time to select a new leader. 1/n

I'm reading this as Chrystia Freeland deciding it was time to save her political career by very clearly detaching herself from Trudeau.
When he steps down or is pushed out, people are going to need somewhere else to go.

My brother is a relatively new dad of two kids, and is discovering the illusion-shattering joy of boomer grandparents. Which is to say, no joy. Yes, I mean our mom.
Anyhoo, GenX aunt checking in.

I would like to thank Canada Post for allowing me to put off the task of sending Christmas cards, because seriously, this year I do not have time.

I remember when this thing first happened, and a friend who knew him was very quick to explain to me that he was joking.... inappropriately joking, yes, in extremely poor taste joking, of course, but he didn't really mean it like that.
Anyway, it seems I was right.

The editor of this Zine is most known for his "appropriation prize" bit. When he proposed that, he said that people should be encouraged to imagine other cultures, identities...

After 30 years, Hal Niedzviecki announces he’s shuttering Broken Pencil, the Bible of small-press and zine culture, because, in part, the “cultural environment has become incompatible with the values of free speech, independent thought, and meaningful dialogue.” brokenpencil.com/news/broken-...

When waiting at a cafe for a table to empty, how nonchalant must one be? Is hovering too rude?
What about when someone left one item on the table and is standing around chitchatting and you really want to move your stuff there as a way of saying "I'm Next" or "Move along, I have no chill?"

Here’s a visualization of all the curse words being used on Bluesky in real time.
Each word is a cute fluffy little profane cloud.
It’s oddly soothing.

Got a FB friend request from a construction project manager that I had to let go years ago, because everything was a mess (not entirely due to him) and things were getting expensive and he was fighting with all my trades.
Had unfriended him years ago.
Checked his profile....
