People need to stop using the "under water" metric that actually makes bad numbers sound better and good numbers sound worse by crunching everything into the middle. "68% disapproval" has more punch AND truth to it than "38 points under water!" Just my opinion, of course.

But beyond letting me know a thing I want exists at a certain price at a certain place, yeah... It also explains a lot of my frustration with the success of a certain political movement that's taken us to where we are, now. But that's all I'll say about that.

When I was two or three, I used to come running when Mom was watching afternoon TV whenever I heard the commercials come on. All the razzle-dazzle, the jingles, the thirty-second stories, the slogans... Completely fascinated my brain.

It's either how I met my ex-wife, or, and this is totally a guess, some version of THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH.

Dementia accelerated by alcoholism. Not even funny. It's probably true. They likely included that in the vetting report as a positive.

I think it is crucial for the health of the Democratic party that the entire consultant class from previous administrations, including and especially Clinton, be told to go home and stop bothering people. They are wrong about everything and have been holding the party back for decades.

There's a reason good Jeopardy! players usually suck at current pop culture categories. @kenjennings.bsky.social - back me up on this. It's always something like "Real Housewives" that has us listening to five seconds of dumb stares before you give us the answer.

Trump vows to punish Canada for EU alliance as soon as he finishes losing Iran war
WASHINGTON D.C. - President Donald J. Trump has pledged to extract terrible, systematic revenge on all of Canada for daring to enter talks with the European Union, just as soon as he finishes losing the war he started in Iran.

Drove my kids nuts with that because the one thing I could be guaranteed not to know was whether or not future conditions would allow us to do the thing they (and probably I) wanted to do. My ex would just say "Yes", and they'd complain when it didn't happen. Once I even heard, "Mom lied again!"

@squidgerugby.bsky.social Does anybody still think Canada should have tried to play the ball against England at the end? It's a tactically stupid decision to attack from that position. You end up doing stupid things to try to justify it, and you throw the game away. Way to go, Ferns.

Has anyone war-gamed the scenario in which someone just puts together a bunch of sane cops from whatever jurisdiction works, and walks into pretty much every office obstructing justice and starts arresting anyone who doesn't immediately hand over the evidence because, y'know... laws.

I'm pretty sure there'd be the same outcry if the airports were already private and they wanted to nationalize them, for one example. There's "responding to conditions" and there's "changing the way we fundamentally do something of national importance in a way there might be no going back from".

And I realize "more ethical than Brian Mulroney" isn't saying much, but the other parallels are pretty strong. Conservatives should get on board, promise not to go insane this time, let their current party die and the NDP become the real left-wing option.

I mean, the last guy campaigned on changing the first-past-the-post system, won, and then told us we didn't want it. At least this one's just openly Progressive Conservative. He's basically a smarter, infinitely less smug, so far seemingly more ethical Brian Mulroney. I can work with that.

What struck me was not just seeing a series listed, wondering why I hadn't watched or finished it and realizing that's when my life blew up and went to shit; but how many different times that was the case. Ah, memories.

Family update - Had Gramps to dinner. Told him Shady Rest staff aren't against him even if they are "coloured." He only gets plastic tableware now after a flying ketchup bottle gave someone stitches. He loved the little toy pirate's chest. Just keeps saying, "It's gold, beautiful gold..." Luv, Z

People say Alberta separatists are a fire that needs to be put out. You're half right. They do need to be put out, but not in a "Fire! Fire!" sense. More in an "It's garbage day!" kind of way. Trump would probably give them refugee status. The idiot refuse of our teeming shores.
