McDonalds should be McAmerica. And it will compete against Burger America. Then you have Five Americas, and America’s Jr. (or should it be Carl’s America?)

BREAKING: Duncan Kinney has pled guilty to mischief in relation to the vandalism of the bust of Roman Shukhevych outside the Ukrainian Youth Unity Complex in August 2021.

I heard Poker Face on the radio and it struck me that it sounds like it could have come out this year. You can chalk it up to Lady Gaga’s influence. You can conclude pop music has barely changed in 20 years. You can spin out questioning and prodding that idea. Or you can move on with your day.

I highly recommend listening to the full podcast, full of excerpts from this recent CBS meeting. The editor is maaaaad.

One of the saddest things on the internet is people on X crafting questions for Grok like they’re prosecuting a court case.

I’m trying to listen to St-Pierre Plamondon’s victory speech, but very distracted by this blue man lurking behind him.

Canada’s first-past-the-post electoral system at it again: Québec’s incumbent CAQ party is on track to be wiped off the map despite getting 14% of the vote Québec Solidaire on track to win 11 seats with 11% of the vote

The CAQ is currently leading in one (1) riding. And it’s close.

QC election watch: it's neck-and-neck, with all parties currently tied in seat count!!

I re-watched Twilight Zone: The Movie this weekend, and was reminded that John Lithgow screaming “There’s a man on the wing of this plane!” is one of my all-time favourite movie moments.

I spent the summer trying to understand what makes Mark Carney's government tick. What I found is a C-Suite obsessed with efficiency — which is trying to ignore what's deeply broken. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Justin Ling: Who does Mark Carney really listen to? I asked the insiders

It’s become clear that the prime minister would much rather circumvent problems than fix them.

I’m still thinking about how nice it is that Ottawa filled a theatre on a Sunday night for a John Wilson movie.

This theatre had a line out the door. In Ottawa. On a Sunday.

Everyone is dunking on that "Choosin Texas" article. I for one applaud the writer’s optimism that we all still live in a shared reality and are not in fact each digging through our own unique wet stinky hole of culture.

I’m going to see the History of Concrete 50% because I love John Wilson’s work and 50% because it’s funny to tell my family I’m going to the movie theatre to watch The History of Concrete.
