I live in Jersey City now and park on the street. This means moving the car when the street sweepers pass though. Parking here is very tough; sometimes in the evening I drive around for half an hour or more looking for a space. Imagine my visceral and emotional response when I see a car (purposely?) talking up two parking spots. Either the driver is a selfish mutt or they're a selfish mutt and they're saving a space for when hubby gets home.
Last week I had had enough. I had a pen and paper, so I left a note on their windshield that said, "You selfish prick, how many spaces do you need?" Did that change anything? No, but it made me feel better.
Dear friends, you are invited to celebrate Maman’s birthday on 2 July. She would have been 100yo!
Treat yourself to a French pastry, or some Belgian chocolate, or even some delicious gelato/cassata. She loved them all! (Actually, on a really hot day she loved an icy shandy, but I’m not pushing beer)
In the meantime, put on your favorite touque, pour a Labatt’s and dig into a big helping of poutine. Crank up some Bryan Adams tunes, then have a nice Ryan Reynolds movie marathon, eh?
You know what day it is, you hoser.
Just finished my pancakes with real Quebec maple syrup. I may be listening to the Tragically Hip later today as I raise my Maple Leaf flag and enjoy my first Canada Day as a Canadian citizen.
A local philanthropist erected this statue in downtown Edmonton a few years ago to commemorate the place where the first episodes of The Great White North were filmed.
I invited Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling, Brendan Fraser and Rick Moranis to my Canada Day party. None of them could come but they were all very apologetic.
It's frustrating that moderate Democrats are fighting against Democratic Socialists so much. Why not work together to take back Congress and defeat the Orange Menace in 2028?
Carville is a dinosaur, a relic of the Bill Clinton era. Time to move on.
I think there’s anger on one side (the left) and fear on the other (the centrists). Two powerful emotions.
Carville and his ilk are afraid that opening the door to more left-leaning members will alienate the center. And scare off independent voters who might otherwise select a mainstream Democrat in a presidential or congressional race.
I think on the left you have a younger electorate that’s frustrated by what appear to be failures by older mainstream Democrats. Other than the Obama and Biden presidencies, we have been outmaneuvered by the Republican Party since the late 90s. Resulting in massive wealth inequality and less opportunity for younger people.
I think you are interpreting passion on the left for anger. Does Mamdani seem like an angry guy? Our own congresswoman Mejia is certainly not projecting anger.
if anything these candidates on the left are generating more joy and positivity than any politicians in decades. Calling them angry is adopting the right wing framing.

I'll chime in here about helmets. A helmet saved me from a serious head injury if not worse. I crashed into an aluminum light pole and even with the helmet, it really rung my bell. Will never ride without a helmet.

I’m making an executive decision. Happy Mel Brooks day! He is 100 years old today. 1900 more to go!

All right we have:
National Camera Day
National Darts Day
National Waffle Iron Day
All today. I’d like to pick one but I’m kinda waffling between them. I know I should get to the point, but it can be hard for me to focus.
