If someone gave me $500 for a date night with my wife I would… Make ramen and pay the electricity bill.

How rainy has it been this month? They closed the football (soccer) pitches for 4 days proactively due to water buildup. 4 days. Football pitches. Can you even play dry?

Some days I’m convinced I can do a standing front flip… Then I remember that I’ve never been able to do that and I’m 40 and I hurt my back sneezing the other day.

New theory: Pope is a Trill symbiant that has been hosted in humans for several centuries. Got bored and created a religion to fuck with us. #startrek #pope #ds9 #trill

This is the 7th consecutive week that I’ve been sick. I know that I’ve exceeded the average male life expectancy from 1800…but middle age sucks.

What do you call it when you find social situations so overwhelming that you’d rather awkwardly walk around the block pretending to be on the phone than going in and talking to people?

Just updated my website. I've decided with the ramped up rhetoric about annexation and invasion of Canada today, I am done. Nothing ships to the US after the couple I already have gone.
My website notice: Attention US Citizens. As of March 4th, 2025 I am no longer shipping to the US. Your leadership is threatening annexation and war with Canada. Fix your shit.

The most heartbreaking thing today is walking around my neighbourhood and seeing the reminder to vote cards from the Conservative Party on the doors of their supporters. These are my neighbours, they’re kind people, they are compassionate, they make the world a better place. 1/2

Not only did this snap election only have a 1 month campaign, but I see no signs of polling station signage when driving by them. Voter suppression 101

You know why they want to cut Government funds? It’s been some of the last money their cash vacuums haven’t had total access to.

To those who think an Academic elite has been lying to you for decades…you’ve clearly never gone to a University Department meeting. Those people can’t agree on the colour of the carpet, let alone on controlling you.

Hmm sounds familiar, eh? Canadian voters, a vote for PP is a vote in the direction of Trump and Putin. Seriously.

Want to know how it feels for Canadians to be called American overseas? I was in a pub in Northern Wales and someone referred to it as a great part of England. Silence.
