This shit should be illegal. Not just regulated. Flat out illegal. You shouldn't be allowed to willfully tank a company into a buyout and be rewarded.

Made a comment on a Facebook post about Nova Scotia increasing the minimum wage to $17. I simply suggested a Universal Basic Income as a better solution. Whoooooo nelly! People aren't taking too kindly to that idea, I tell you what!

I gotta say, Neon is becoming everything that people had hoped for A24. Especially when A24 announced their investment into AI.

I have a feeling that, structurally, it'll play out similar to Infinity War and Endgame. First movie features the new villain trouncing the heroes, basically making him the protagonist from his point of view. He wins in the end, a bleak ending for the heroes. Movie 2, they regroup and win.

Briefly chatted with a cool, super attractive motorcycle gal while at the cash in Shoppers on Wyse Rd. We jokingly compared our respective modes of transportation. (I kept my bicycle helmet on so I didn't have to carry it). It felt...rather flirtatious. Anyway, we bid each other adieu.

Honestly, the first film adaptations, the 2009 Swedish one and its sequels, are the best adaptations. The American remakes pale in comparison by a wide mile.

All right, people. Serious faces. This is no joke. I'm doing laundry and there are four - FOUR - socks without their second half. Who did it? I want names.
A row of four unmatched socks.

...why is this a thing? Why is this on your timeline? Why are you looking at socks? Seriously, does Nick not have anything better to do than post fucking pics if unmatched socks? What has this world turned into? Why can't Nick post pics of his cats again or something? Or refer to himself as a bearded goofball when he posts a selfie.

This is ridiculous. Is anyone even reading this? I'm just gonna keep typing until I run out of characters or I get bored. Eh, screw  it, I'm bored. Hitting Post now.

As I'm re-reading The Unwritten, I'm mentally preparing myself for the crossover with Willingham's Fables. I stopped reading Unwritten when the crossover was announced at the time. I hope it's relatively brief and mostly nonintrusive to the rest of the overarching story.

I will forever say that Marvel is sleeping on a great show idea: Daughters of the Dragon. Jessica Henwick and Simone Missick had insane chemistry in the Iron Fist Season 2 episode where they teamed up as Collen Wing & Misty Knight, respectively.

I was in Spirit Halloween this afternoon, looking over costumes. While I'm known as the Kidical Mass Knight in October (dubbed by @jessieharlow.bsky.social), I'm thinking of changing it up. They had some AWESOME viking costumes and gear. I could clang an axe against a shield to hype up the kids.

Correcting pedantic assholes on the internet who "correct" someone's spelling or grammar is quite possibly my favorite thing to do on the internet. (You may need to click on the picture to get the whole thing.)

f your going to attempt low 1Q comments at least spell it correctly

@NickPiers 41s ago (edited @asoncalledvoonch2210
1) It's "it's." which is a contraction fol "it is.""Its" is possessive

2) If vou are correcting someone's spelling, you should put quotations around vour correction and their misspelling. For example, youi sentence should have read as foll ows: "It's 'Perc,' not 'Perk." Keep in mind used sinqular quotation notes within my example, as there's a quote within a quote. Your use of an asterisk is unnecessary.

3) It's "caught," not "cought, which is not a word. Perhaps an archaic, Old English spelling for "coughed" before a more unified spelling system was introduced.
4) Never end a sentence with ar ellipsis unless you're indicating an interrupted or unpaused thought.

5) Your final sentence is mostly correct, but you used "your" (a possessive) instead of "vou're" (a contraction short for "you are")

I'm grading your comment a D-. If you're attempting to pedantically correct someone's spelling, vour own spelling and grammar should be nearly exemplary. Otherwise, vou look like a pedantic asshole, a hypocrite, and an idiot.

Please see me after class.

Several. I almost exclusively buy collected editions. I have a VERY bad habit of buying newer editions and selling the old one. The new edition might be nicer, better formatted, include more content, etc. Gotham Central and Grant Morrison's JLA are probably the worst for me with that.

I'm reminded again of the 1 vs 20 debates on Jubilee's YouTube channel. I would love - LOVE - to do a public debate in a similar format against 20 drivers. Anyone local want to make set that up for me? Because I'm ready and willing to be 1 cyclist vs 20 drivers.

Kieron also suggests waiting for this to go through the proper channels, but I gotta say, this lawsuit is feeling pretty frivolous. The gun incident story sounds so cartoonishly over the top. Firearms, even fake ones, are SERIOUS BUSINESS in Hollywood. There'd have to be some corroboration.
