I realise you’re legally obligated as a Canadian to be polite aboot this …

He’s won. Trump done fucked up.

Now, the question is to what extent?

He’s caught the car. Let’s see what he does with it.

Here’s a fig leaf for “oops, Brexit didn’t work.” The UK needed one, and Trump was happy to oblige.

Have you seen his hands? That’s a tiny consequence indeed.

I would counter that if it wasn’t groundbreaking, regardless of why, how is this something we still talk about?

The vigil on Sunday evening drew a crowd so large that police in Vancouver had to move the crime scene barriers back so that people would not spill out onto the busy traffic along 41st Avenue, writes Dustin Godfrey, in his dispatch from Vancouver, about the strength of the Filipino community in the face of a devastating car attack that has killed 11 people and injured dozens more.

I made an edit for not so much clarity, but “11 eleven”? Come on, Van. I know you can do better.

There are times where this is used for comedic effect. Fully unable to read the room, we get redundancy in the wrong order: “eleven (11)” is correct, but that’s just the beginning. This is not a moment of levity. You aren’t The fucking Onion.

Nothing that can be done, says one of the other countries where this is starting to be a regular occurrence.

Far be it for me to be an NSDAP apologist. However, the techniques she introduced to the world would go on to be both iconic and standard. Look, for example, at the camera-angle choices in Citizen Kane. That’s pure Riefenstahl. And not considered a terrible movie.

We can hate a person while appreciating their artistic output. This has been the case since Ugg made wheel.

This said, I don’t think she was a good person. But I’d honestly challenge you to find an effective artist who is also a good person. There are some actors, of course; I’m talking reporters and the production team.

We are effective because we’ve seen some shit. And when you’ve seen some shit, sometimes you don’t make the ethical choice. I’d not go so far as to vlog for the Fourth Reich, but she likely saw it as patriotic.

How many of your neighbours would do the same?

You beautiful bastard. I was meaning on the local horizon! 🤣 The Jungfrau, Matterhorn, usw., is of little good from Texas. Hell, I’ll take the shit around Valbella. Or Phoenix.

Vancouver police have dialed the deathtoll up to 11. I spent lots of nights on Fraser, so this is really shocking.

What I wouldn’t give to see mountains again.

Rock Celebrates 2 Billion Years Of Not Being Subducted

Inanimate objects don’t celebrate much.

I get that this is a UK pub, but holy hell is that hed twitch-inducing on style.

“What have the Romans ever done for us?”

Can’t resist.

This is reductive and inaccurate. Otherwise, spot on.

Your vehicle not being yet another surveillance vector can be a selling point.

I have full control over my feed here. That’s an important distinction. I’d imagine if I end up in someone else’s hometown off Beehaw, we’d end up getting a beer or lunch.

Saying Facebook is in the same area code is specious.

As a thought experiment, it’s somewhat fascinating to ask what “social media” has done. I don’t really consider anything past MySpace truly social. The term now means “let’s keep you addicted to posts from people you’ll never meet” – essentially, the modern form of checkstand tabloids.

I pulled a U-Haul trailer with my Civic from Virginia to Oregon. Only took 2½ days, though the final few hours were harrowing. Maps back then didn’t so much express topography, so the trailer was actually pushing me down … I likely went through a year of brake pads in six hours.

You know how they’re going to spin this. The playbook at this point is threadbare at best. “Sure, we arrested a judge, but here’s a squirrel to distract you.”
