The only Elks game I've watched this season they lost, and last week when I turned the game on they immediately went from leading to behind and only caught up and won when I turned it off. I just turned tonight's on and I believe Saskatchewan are about to score.

looking at the headlines and reflecting once again on how all the smart, hard-working, honest people I know feel like they’re going at least a little insane in our era of total Stupid Immoral Asshole ascendancy

👇 "The vast majority of people who work in film and television are not studio executives, nor are they famous actors. They are, overwhelmingly, blue-collar workers, freelancers, and small businesses. And they are in free fall." Yes.

People think "Hollywood" is rich and famous. The reality? Film and TV is a national industry. It's a blue collar industry. And it is an industry free fall. My latest for @newrepublic.com on how the Paramount merger would crush blue collar workers who can not afford it newrepublic.com/article/2136...

While we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.

Emma Thompson adapting feminist retelling of Iliad for big screen

The actress told the Hay Festival she is writing a film version of Pat Barker’s The Silence of the Girls to draw attention to sexual abuse in war zones

The level of conservative freakout over @acoyne.bsky.social’s rather even-handed but ruthlessly fair column questioning Canadian patriotism tells me that he was right over the target. And it is a lot of freakout, man. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Opinion: Canadian conservatives have a patriotism problem

If right-wingers flirt with Donald Trump or support secessionist movements, people will turn away from voting for them

Our first teaser for Avatar: Seven Havens! Following the legend of Aang and Korra... Meet Pavi. So incredibly proud of this crew. It's going to be a wild journey. It begins OCTOBER 9TH. Earthbenders rock.

"As this work continues" means that the Ford government probably has no intention of giving up all that land it expropriated for the airport expansion. Is this part of the decision to look like the fight will be continued? #OnPoli

We look forward to continuing to work to advance the expansion of Billy Bishop Airport. The benefits are clear: the project will contribute up to $8.5 billion to Canada's economy every year, create thousands of jobs, and improve connectivity for millions of travellers and businesses across Ontario, North America and beyond.
As this work continues, we look forward to seeing and anticipate a plan that ensures the project protects public spaces, including the Toronto Islands, addresses potential noise and environmental impacts, expands and improves Little Norway Park, supports new housing opportunities in the area, and delivers lasting benefits for local communities.

#SDCC comic con: our daughter left her 3D printed black dragon in the restroom near E/Starbucks. She printed it herself and is devastated. We checked the restroom and lost and found which means someone picked it up. If you bring it to 5552 I will give you a signed comic as reward

I just saw a meme that said “get in losers, we’re reclaiming the emdash”. People. PEOPLE. Where are your STANDARDS? It CLEARLY should be “get in, losers — we’re reclaiming the em dash.”
