as a kid I honestly thought that the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was about something that happened in the 1800s, dying in a maritime disaster on Lake Superior just does not seem like the kind of thing that can happen to people who heard Supertramp on the radio

these two characters are played by the same actress, and I like to imagine that when they were casting The Ring, their immediate first thought was “someone find out what the little girl from Lilo and Stitch is up to”

I like that the American convention of "old/rural = conservative" just doesn't hold up in large parts of Eastern Canada. You can hike deep into the forests of the Gaspé peninsula and meet septuagenarians with political views that would melt the tires clean off a Republican's car.

well I for one am shocked that "every aspect of your life gets worse forever and also look at my marble bathroom" did not turn out to be a winning election strategy

"it's inevitable" has never struck me as a compelling argument for AI. never seen a genuinely useful technology ushered in with the enthusiasm of a tired mom coming to terms with the fact that her kids are going to pick up foot fungus at a community pool.

5pm on November 1: let’s go for a walk, it’s still light out!
5pm on November 2: an early darkness blankets the land. Fallow fields lay bone-bleached by moonlight. The last memories of summer fade into oblivion. The last echoes of hope lapse into baleful silence.

when I worked in community services in the US, I helped fill out SNAP applications for people who'd once had successful careers as lawyers, healthcare professionals, bankers. The jaws of poverty can snap shut on anyone.

we ate a lot of Acadian and British food growing up, and I just assumed that we were poor. Then I got a little older and realized my parents made those foods to celebrate their cultural heritage. Now I realize that our main cultural heritage was being poor.

I think the funniest knock-on effect of the cost of housing is that I’ve accidentally raised a chihuahua who has zero response to the sound of a doorbell because she’s never actually lived in a home that has one

watching American news right now is sort of like watching Squid Games except only half of the contestants actually signed up to be there and for some reason the prize they're all competing for is additional ruinous debt

if Obama had torn down part of the White House during his time in office, some of you would currently be scrolling the internet from the comfort of your trench on the frontlines of a border war between the United Appalachian Liberation Front and the Republic of New Ohio

if you ever need a fun and easy way to make a person under the age of 20 think you're a complete lunatic, I highly recommend telling them how much gum we used to chew in the early 2000s
