You realize the internet exists solely for the purpose of smut purveyance….

This is probably a good time to remind folks that President Trump spent a good 10 minutes of his State of the Union Speech last week rambling on about cheap gas in Iowa.

This is why I never post a close up photo if my favourite snack of stick pretzels in Nutella 😉

The Spanish word for “problem” sounds feminine but is actually masculine

Their word for “solution” sounds masculine but is actually feminine

The Spanish are a sly & masterfully witty folk

Canada is the Gen X of countries; fairly laid back, no desire to be a superpower or “leader of the free world”, mostly uninterested in everyone else’s bullshit, fiercely independent, and happy to be left alone.

Like, don’t step up on us, we won’t step up on you. Just be cool, bruh. Very Gen X.

The phrase you’re looking for is State Sponsored Propaganda

And everyone constantly asking which clocks had been reset, invariably at least one got reset twice, someone had to pull out the gigantic phone book (watch the amazement in your child’s eyes as you explain that was a thing) find the number for “time” and call it to end the inevitable family argument

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

I don’t know about the rest of you but I would like to request an exemption from the impending apocalypse as I haven’t committed nearly enough sin to be a part of it.

And yes, I’m including the sin of totally white lady Gen X Karening & asking to speak to management.

QUEEN

There’s a reason some politicians vilify & rebuke Arts degrees.

History repeats & art critiques

The math doesn't lie.

Danielle Smith spent $17 million on "Alberta is Calling" to recruit new residents. But spent $0 on the infrastructure to support them.

Now that the bills are due and the services are failing, she’s pointing the finger at the very people she invited.

My chief frustration in politics at all levels has always been the overwhelming apathy of the privileged

The people who sit back & ignore the fray because they know that any & all outcomes will not affect them

The is the state of the US Congress

Their apathy will be their undoing

And yours

I hold both

My BSc taught me how to evaluate.

My BA taught me how to think.

Anyone who doesn’t recognize the value of a BA is swimming in a pool of arrogance in ignorance.

Trump’s sole interest in aliens is that he could post on Truth Social that he’s charging them tariffs

Legit surprised he hasn’t already done so

***adding that to my bingo card for the next Epstein document drop***

As AHS keeps increasing the staff parking rates due to “inflationary pressures”, why don’t all the union bargaining committees just insist that, as AHS has already done & defended the appropriate math, we increase staff wages each year by the same percentage they increase on the fees they charge us?

That’s literally what flight attendants yell to passengers as the aircraft plummets.

Wheels up but your ailerons are AWOL Captain Dani

It’s really, really, really f*+^ing hard to be a teenager.

On every & all sides of the equation.

Ahem.

It wasn’t a “belief”

It was a damn fact

And he’s just the token sacrificial lamb the rest of the privileged dude class implicated in all this are desperately hoping will satisfy the masses.

And before anyone says it, I am familiar with the term gate lice.

I once had a flight where no one could get on the plane because all the last to board level passengers completely blocked access for everyone else.

I love how people line up at airport gates a half hour before boarding starts as if seating is a free for all.

There is nothing that enrages the privileged class more than success that is earned.

I’m 51

I’ve spent the last year learning Spanish

I spent today learning with my bestie how to sail a tiny little boat by wind in the Puerto Vallarta bay

I am great at neither

But the older I get, the more I realize the experience is the end goal.

While I agree with the sentiment this doesn’t address the root cause.

We are using taxpayer dollars to indirectly support & continue incredibly high profits by grocery chains, wholesalers & massive meat packers.

Producers & Consumers are being eaten by the greed of the corporate Middlemen

Sir, you’ve just returned from Davos

In Switzerland

Imagine being that afraid of a guy named after a misbehaving sexual innuendo toy.

Your subconscious recognized your need & filled it 😉

…..accidentally…..

I’m covering a position in lab that entails reviewing the work of others, trying to follow their thinking & have discovered I quietly say “k’ay so” a lot.

I’m also taking Spanish at night.

So I’ve just realized I spend my days slowly whispering repeating the Spanish word for cheese like a mantra

Families want Canadian provinces to end MAID opt-out policy for faith-based hospitals | CBC News As families fight to avoid forced patient transfers from faith-based hospitals that refuse to perform medical assistance in dying (MAID), an advocacy group says there are more than 100 forced transfer...

Agreed. It is time to end this discrimination. Death with dignity should never be considered optional within a publicly-funded institution.

Greenland should rename itself Fuckyoutrumpistan & the rest of the world should formally change the name of Epstein Island to Greenland.
