Why can’t we hear movie dialogue anymore?
I remember being WAY less sad in the 1980s…and “comfort” (even simply not depressing, not petty, or not wall-to-wall violent) media way less difficult to find.
I watched this first in the mid-80s. Blew my mind. All the “wire fu” after still can’t touch it.
I’m terrible at basic arithmetic (probably have dyscalculia), but to keep anxiety down, I’m relearning mathematics from fractions to trig to matrices to calculus.
They would shovel a PST into the corruption funnel to oil and gas, the constant wasteful legal BS, or simple incompetence. There would be zero chance this government would use a PST to balance the books.
When I was dating my now husband, one of the first movies we went to see was this one. It is now referred to, between us, as: “The Movie We Shall Never Speak Of Again.”
The Pillsbury Doughboy is WEIRD
Holy Palpatine’s make up vibes there.
He’s just out shilling for the post-PM (semi-retirement) US jobs that Mulroney got that he now knows he won’t get.
I’ve been having this on repeat in my brain since hearing the reports of 80 children dead in an attack.
Thou shalt not kill schoolchildren to distract from your crimes against children.
This feels like the true crime adage “can't help convicting themselves.”
A detailed documentary of those two grifters is the horror movie I want to see.
I’m just reading The Longest Con by Joe Conason of which you wrote the forward. What an eye-opening, truly educational, and seriously depressing book that is turning out to be. I need to take frequent breaks reading it to prevent my hyperventilating from the injustice it describes.
Sugarless peanut butter cups are a thing!?! 🇨🇦
I was initially excited about this until I found about the provision that allows companies to skirt Canadian law. Less corporate responsibility has never had foreseeable problems we are now seeing play out in real time. 🙄
In exchange for
• getting workers fired
• vacuuming up artists’ work
• torching the environment
• handing out hallucinations like party favors
• and somehow even generating CSAM
you will receive…
checks notes
basically zero economic growth.
what a time to be alive.
Corporate side quests: Ball Jars go to space
The Media Ecosystem Observatory has found that just 100 accounts in Canada are responsible for 68% of posts promoting conspiracy theories. But they are having an outsized impact on local governments.

Mr.-Put-Unobsequious-Reporters-Into-A-Pen at a press conference? Do tell us what a crusader for free speech he is. FFS.🙄
AI feels more and more like the Theranos nantainer of the 2020s.
Even his recent commercial was ridiculously mesmerizing.
"We are fully committed to completely destroying the product or service you once loved. On that, you have my word."

:D When I was writing the comment, I told my husband that I don’t think I’ve actually seen one of the discs beyond photos, but I did see the machine at a friend’s house.
Why are all influencers selling supplements?
He gets underrated because it’s really hard to look suave in Fortrel leisure suits.
LaserDisc? ;.>
😢Relatable. I’d get annual influenza with bronchitis chaser. Get a bit better one day: “I can work out again!” Mom Nature’d tack on a two-week penalty. Your comedic talents, it would seem, wait for no bug. Thanks for keeping your fans sane.
