Apr 25th - The perfect date, it's not too hot, not too cold. All you need is a light jacket. 📽️📅 Miss Congeniality (2000)
2 Screenshots from the movie "Miss Congeniality" (2000): First, a beauty pageant host in a red blazer holds a microphone and stands beside a contestant wearing a sash labeled "RHODE ISLAND" among other contestants lined up behind her, with the subtitle "Describe your perfect date." Second, a close-up of the same host and the smiling contestant as she responds, with the subtitle "That's a tough one. I'd have to say April 25th. Because it's not too hot and not too cold. All you need is a light jacket."

Tonight I watched Prime Minister Mark Carney take the actual Heated Rivalry Canada fleece from Hudson Williams, slip it on and say: “This is true soft power.”

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

apparently Elon's gotten so mad about Grok not answering questions about Afrikaners the way he wants, xAI's now somehow managed to put it into some kind of hyper-Afriforum mode where it thinks every question is about farm murders or the song "Kill the Boer"
Keir Starmer: I've already returned over 24,000 people with no right to be here. And I won't stop there.

twitter user: @grok Is this post misleading?

Grok: The claim of white genocide in South Africa is highly debated.  Some evidence, like reports of farm attacks and political rhetoric, suggests violence against white farmers...a user asks Grok to translate Chinese text on a photo, and it responds with a translation of "Kill the Boer" into Urdua user asks if something shown in a video is an effective way to clear sinuses, and Grok says the query is unrelated to "the provided analysis on white genocide in South Africa"

In his first press conference as PM, Mark Carney says his trip on Monday to Europe and the UK is about “reinforcing security and diversifying trade partners”. Ie reorienting Canada away from the US.

Tariffs, sure. But also the Canadarm should extend its middle finger. And we should officially add a "u" after every "o" in US place names on Canadian maps (New Yourk, Califournia, Washingtoun, Ouhiou, etc.)

This just popped up on our M-W app 😭

Important update from Merriam-Webster

We regret to inform you that the words ‘emoticon’ and ‘emoji’ are not etymologically related. 

‘Emoticon’ is ‘emotion’ + ‘icon.’

‘Emoji’ is from the Japanese word for ‘pictograph,’ from ‘e’ (picture, drawing) and ‘moji’ (letter, character).

We appreciate your support. Please stay tuned.

primitive organisms orient themselves towards nutrients and have little control over their actions beyond maybe GO/NOGO signals (see lizards). Trump is like that except with attention and self-esteem

If mandatory reporting when tainted products hospitalizes people makes the multi-billion dollar “natural products” industry “unviable,” that’s kind of telling on themselves, isn’t it?
Next week, the NDP-Liberal government will try and destroy a Common Sense Conservative Bill that would’ve saved Canadians’ natural health products from Justin Trudeau’s red tape and regulation.

Yesterday, the NDP again decided to protect Justin Trudeau by proposing an amendment to the Conservative Bill C-368 in Health Committee. Originally, this Conservative Bill would’ve kept Canadians safe while reducing the costly and pointless red tape that Justin Trudeau is trying to destroy natural health products with.

But with this new NDP amendment, Trudeau’s Minister of Health will be able to create red tape and bureaucratic barriers that will make natural health products unviable in Canada. On top of this, the Liberal Minister will be able to stop the sale of any natural health product whenever he feels like it.

This will suffocate the natural health product industry. It will limit Canadians’ ability to purchase products like protein powders, vitamins, probiotics, and much more. This is because Trudeau has allowed Health Canada massive new powers to regulate natural health supplements while imposing substantial new fees on the importation, manufacturing, and sale of natural health products and creating stringent new labelling laws.

As the President of the Canadian Health Food Association said, "I think the Conservative Bill is also important because putting natural health products under the definition of therapeutic drugs is not what is good for consumers or the sector. The Liberal-NDP approach lacks any common sense and is misdirected red tape, and government bureaucracy has gone wild. It's not what's good for Canadians."

If the NDP-Liberal coalition go through with this amendment next week, as many as 70 percent of natural health brands have said they will need to withdraw products from the market, and 1 in 5 are considering exiting Canada altogether.

Next week, the NDP has a choice: they can either support Justin Trudeau’s assault on natural health products, or t…
