The funniest thing about this 51st State shit is that a State of Canada would be larger than the other 50 combined.

This Canadian found your podcast through the 2023 New Yorker article. The first episode I heard was #160 "Flowers in the Rain" ('cause I love The Move). Within days, I'd told every music geek I know. This was shortsighted as my wife, who is most certainly NOT a music geek, loves your podcast.

In saw the first Star Wars film on the day of its release. Fourteen at the time, it was my first movie-going disappointment. So much hype! The special effects were something, but the story, dialogue, and characters were unimaginative. I gave next film a chance, but that was it. Jaded at 17.

Old Novels and the Women Who Owned Them Last year, I participated in CrowdsourceHerBook: Women's book history and participatory science – an experiment . Overseen by Charlotte Eppl...

Oh, how I miss @crowdsourceherbook.bsky.social!

Agreed. The worst part of all of this is that this then Montreal teenager was afforded the opportunities of seeing Siouxsie, Durutti Column and PiL, but not Altered Images. And I had such a crush on Clare Grogan!

(More to do with Gregory's Girl, though I really liked Altered Images.)

Witness a separatist scrambling.

So says the president of a country that entered both the First and Second World Wars several years after each conflict had begun.

"I'm okay with languages."

He struggles with English.

Nasty, indeed. You sure did kill a lot of innocent people.

It wasn't a question, it was a observation. Your president is fucking moron.

This Canadian has bought a whole lot of beer in the United States. This Canadian was married in New York. I was never once asked for a voter ID.

To be fair, mine were , too.

This Canadian recognizes Hegseth's mannerisms. He's the strange awkward kid who ran for high school Student Council.

Fake quote.

It's the reason she changes costume so often.

I did. And I live in Canada.

Also says a lot that CPC polling numbers declined even further after the vote.

"By Jesus Christ, I don't mean the 2000-year-old Marxist of the Bible."

Well, there you have it. My grandfather, who fought the Nazis and voted Conservative in each and every election was until his death two years ago at age 104, is suspect.

C'mon, work with us to get them out. 'Cause of some of them die, it'll make us loo bad. Help us fix our mistake.

The toupee is as fake as the wearer.

That's not Jesus. We all know that Jesus has blonde hair and blue eyes.

Yes, those ballistic missiles aimed at Washington and drones buzzing farms in Idaho are threats that must be dealt with.

Not the mission? The US did everything it could to kill him. I'm not grieving, but facts are facts.

Not to mention the $1.85 a gallon gasoline.
