(And I’m already old enough to be their parent).

Also: immigration plays a factor. I didn’t grow up in North American culture

I grew up in the 80s/90s & couldn’t name a single Michael Jackson song until well into high school

Elvis is a celebrity from 75 years ago. So they don’t. Michael Jackson is their equivalent to what Elvis was to ME

It’s middle in both directions though. From asia traveling to Europe, it would also be the middle

My daughter has been waking up early on Mondays and Thursdays for 🎺band class all winter. We finally started reaching the point where the sun had risen by the time she leaves the house at 7:10.

Today, back to pitch black darkness due to DST

why would we do this permanently?

TSN, technically, is also a paywall ;)

I got a sliver on the bottom of my foot near my toes and let’s just say I’m very happy I maintained some measure of flexibility into my forties

(Still haven’t gotten it out yet though. So painful!)

Why would anyone in Vancouver watch the Canucks with a team like the Whitecaps

As I see video clips of Tehran up in flames I can’t help but think of all the early deaths we will see from cancer in the upcoming years

Breathing in that much gas on fire cannot be good for the folks who survive

They are constructing an argument to try and give Trump four more years

My kids had a concert tonight so I missed the opening of the @whitecapsfc.com game on #AppleTV

Due to this, I got to use the β€œCatch Up” feature for the first time. SO COOL!!

Trump’s statement thru the White House Twitter account about Iran goals: (summarized)
1. Destroy Iran’s missile capabilities 
2. Annihilate their navy
3. Ensure no nukes
4. Ensure the Iranian regime can no longer arm, fund and train terrorists

Trump’s statement thru the White House Twitter account about Iran goals: (summarized) 1. Destroy Iran’s missile capabilities 2. Annihilate their navy 3. Ensure no nukes 4. Ensure the Iranian regime can no longer arm, fund and train terrorists

According to this summary, they don’t mind if the regime continues in the future (the last point assumes their govt continuing)

According to his speech the night of the initial bombing, he wanted regime change & encouraged Iranians to pursue it

That would require Pettersson scoring though

Imagine giving Trump a new airplane AND paying Trump a BILLION DOLLARS to join his β€œBoard of Peace” and a month later his actions cause your country to get bombed.

In the future, nearly all art you see with be produced by AI trained on pre-existing human art

In the future, if you produce art yourself, the owners of the AI will sue you for copyright violations because they’ll deem your art looks too similar to what their machines produce

I think it’s so disrespectful to put on a medal you didn’t win

Like, only FLAVA FLAV maybe has a rightβ€” as a civilian non athlete or coachβ€” to wear a medal

The Alberta separation argument is ridiculous

But equally ridiculous β€” and never acknowledged β€” is the repeated failure of Ottawa to deal with western constitutional inequities simply because they’re afraid to open the Constitution again

(Well, Alberta’s FULL budget hasn’t quite come out I guessβ€” but the premier is preparing people for terrible news with her speech today)

It’s weird how BC and Alberta both put out really bad-news budgets within a day of each other and Alberta gets away with blaming the feds and world economic circumstances

But media and popular opinion squarely blames the NDP only for the BC situation

It’s hilarious seeing the USA right wing accounts celebrating a refugee because she won them a figure skating medal

And then bashing other refugees

Apparently Trump is now directing the Secretary of War to release documents about aliens πŸ‘½πŸ›Έ

If Trump wanted to go down in the history books

He didn’t need to tariff everyone
Or invade πŸ‡¬πŸ‡±
Or annex πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦
Or send ICE after people
Or build a new East Wing

Just say: β€œaliens exist” and BOOM
