It feels very strange to agree with Ted Cruz but here we are.

Finally watched it the other day and I still giggle thinking about a few of the gags.

And I've been trying to think of the last similarly funny movie. Hundreds of Beavers comes to mind, hence the mainstream studio qualifier.

Obviously, comedy is subjective so I'm sure there are some with which I'll disagree but curious to hear your thoughts!

For the 'Carney is basically just Poilievre' Crowd, a look at Poilievre's proposed legislation (note: this from about a month ago)

I've seen this take that Carney is just as bad as Poilievre more than a few times. And while Carney may not be as Green as some had hoped for but my goodness, the difference between him and Poilievre is staggering.

Figured it's worth posting the legislation that Poilievre put forward in August which includes removing pipeline regulations, scrapping the West Coast oil-tanker ban; killing the industrial carbon tax; eliminating the electric vehicle mandate and reversing the single-use plastics ban.

I finished doing dishes and turned to see my lil void staring plaintively up at me.

She's a good manager, always on top of the organization's needs and priorities, as long as they are defined as whether she needs food or is owed skritches.

Oh man, if this strike lasts another week, it gets me out of going to 'murica for a wedding. AND I'd get my money back!

Fight for your rights flight attendants!

Admittedly, "hey Janet, can you jump into the kitty crate and pretend to cry for a half a sec for views" is probably not the child abuse situation outlined above.

I fucking hate it but wr do have a generation of not even influencers, but casual social media parents looming for a funny angle to send their friends and social networks etc.

Fuck that fucking fuck.

I think one of the most impressive pieces of comedy was in a random Jackass sketch.

Mall boxing, Knoxville squares off against a one time super heavyweight champion, Butterbean. Butterbean laughs, lets Knoxville take a free shot then proceeds to one punch Knoxville unconscious. Paramedics come and as they're attending to Knoxville he comes to, looks around and immediately asks "Is Butterbean okay?"

I die every time. The wherewithal to come out from an almost certain concussion with such a ludicrous assertion/question, just goddamnit, it's perfect.

Seriously, so goddamn creepy. You know the two of them called their underage girls mysteries/riddles/etc.

I saw a post on an asylum offer which is related but this peace broker offer cracked me up, figured I'd share. Sorry if it's too similar to the other one!

For those out of the loop, Elon just accused trump of not releasing the Epstein files because trump is implicated. Which, obviously but Elon is a voice to which magaworld listens.

Ha, had the exact same "huh, wait what?" Moment.

If we want to recruit and maintain the best while underpaying them and reducing physical overhead, remote work seems ideal.

All you have to do is make the best action movie of the 21st century and boom, franchise revived!

Hmmmm, do we want to be closer with crazytown or basically reasonable people? I'm torn!

This has been tried and repealed in a lot of other places. If memory serves, it also led to a significant increase in homicides. (If there's no difference between robbery and murder, there is no incentive to leave witnesses.)

And Trailer Park Boys notwithstanding, it's not like the usual addict criminal is really thinking "well, I'll only get a couple years, no biggie" before committing a crime.

I haven't read it (may try to) but I've been pretty impressed by the way he describes the importance of harnessing markets to address climate change. (I'm of much the same opinion, markets are amazing but require government to address imbalances/incentives and straight up market failures like public goods etc.)

No. There's no telling what comes after these 4 years. The US has proven that they aren't an ally worth relying on, we should look to more reliable partners and building them up and vice versa. Any concession or help offered by the next administration isn't worth the paper it's written on (just look at trump ripping up his own trade agreement for this nonsense.)

We need allies not a neighbour that on a whim might try to throw us into a recession.
