I really am pleasantly surprised at how truly good #WheelOfTime has become in its sophomore season. I liked the first season, don't get me wrong, but this time around we're in the midst of something special.

Well, my icon turned into the dumb x, so I’m moving it from its usual spot and turning off notifications because that will break my habit of opening it when on autopilot. Bye Twitter. I’m on Bluesky, same name.

Loblaws posted a QUARTERLY PROFIT of $558,000,000.00 last quarter. Yet I can't afford vegetables or meat, milk or cheese. There is something really wrong here.

Sorry to be a little rude, but the only viable solutions to climate change involve massive state-scale projects to completely revamp power generation and electrify almost everything, not doing community organizing to put a solar panel on the laundromat

What I loved about Barbie was the way the Ken arc wasn’t about men, it was about patriarchy, flipped: when your only route to feeling real is thru the loving gaze of the dominant gender, you’re left hollow & needy & fighting the other Kens/Barbies. Like in Mad Men, only pink!

See, the thing is, Canada isn't broken, PMJT isn't a pedophile, nor is he a traitor, and most of us realise this, and we are getting rather tired of being shouted at by the fringe in Belleville and the like. 1/- #cdnpoli

The entitlement that NJ people have over NYC doing congestion pricing is nuts. Very clear illustration of how people in suburbs believe the city exists to serve them, as some kind of drive through service.
