Best pedantic Knitter Pet Peeve this gentleman avoids: he calls it "stranded knitting", not "Fair Isle". Folks will invite you into an alley to discuss this error.

Does that mean houses are selling like hotcakes or are hard to sell? Not a very clear statement.

Google ID thinks it's Helenium amarum (Yellow sneezeweed). There are a lot of very similar plants, and I'm no botanist, so large grain of salt allowed.

"But have you considered my worldview, that of a white cis het man with low education and extreme misogyny?" Yes, exclusively and that's why we're in this fucking mess. Shut up, sit down, and let the people who understand clean up.

I think Ed's evident lack of opinion renders him evidently irrelevant to the discussion, which is the harshest dig of all.

It's a 30-ish year old development where all the street names evoke New York. Seemed like a good idea at the time...

Well, this is fun. 😂 Ottawa, Canada, is considering renaming Trump Avenue, and two of the top contenders are “Obama Avenue” and “Taco Avenue.” 🇨🇦

Husbeast just came back from the grocery store here in #Ottawa. Saw a guy pick up a bag of chips, check the back for where they were made, and hurl them back on the shelf.

Donald Trump overplayed his hand. The cost of this trade war is going to be brutal — and he can't count on the solidarity needed to get through it. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Justin Ling: Donald Trump’s war on Canada will fail — just like last time
The clarity around Donald Trump’s true intentions is a strategic asset for Canada, Justin Ling writes. We know now, with no ambiguity, that he wants our capitulation.

Ugh. The child actor who plays James is off the canvas for quite a while, and Bradford Anderson has been pretty much dumped. It looks like they tell these folks it's OK to move out of town and then it becomes a case of diminishing returns to come back for a couple of days work and whoops, Australia.

One day we're away on vacation and Marge calls to ask if we're ok, cause there are firetrucks and an ambulance in front of our house. It was dead guy. Dead. Suicide. The house went very cheap to flippers. Now we have a lovely family there.
