Welcome to Canada, where we have two official languages and our bilingual PM says the same thing in both for the benefit of our dual language population. It’s considerate, y’know?

Ugh, no. The polite stereotype is cute but it’s just a stereotype. Trudeau didn’t say what he really feels because it wouldn’t be diplomatic, and he doesn’t want Trump to launch a nuke at us. It’s a delicate relationship right now, and Trudeau’s always been caught once before saying bad stuff about Trump (that video…

Or Shia? As in, Le Beouf???

A lot of the Disney Channel stuff was on Family Channel in Canada, I always assumed that was nation-wide. I saw this show growing up, That’s So Raven, Even Stevens... and other forgettable titles.

I’m positive I’m posting too late for anybody to read this but here goes:

Working from home the last couple months has really reaffirmed what I already felt about work. That is: sitting in an office for 8 hours a day is nonsense. I know all kinds of jobs differ, but throughout my career I’ve always had a lot of empty…

Turns out young people with COVID are dying from strokes. So not exactly low risk.

They just don’t want to admit what they really want.

The birth rate is way down, and has been for a while. For a variety of reasons: different expectations for adults in this century, anxiety about climate change, heavy debt loads for people in their 20s and 30s, job instability (fear going back to the 2008 recession and fear of another recession - like what will happen…

I mean, as somebody who works in advertising, all this is is hotels finally starting to understand marketing strategy. You never target an ad to everybody (and yes, these influencer posts are ads), you pick the appropriate audience for your product or service, and create the message to address their needs and wants.

So …

Rich people don’t live under a rock. Rich old men might not follow the 28-year-old influencer posting beach pics (though maybe), but there are rich people of other genders and ages and interests who would. If you think rich folks don’t know about social media, may I point you to your president?

I mean, mucus has not only been shown, but personified.

May I introduce you to Twitter

People’s article quotes a dietician/nutritionist

They bought the concept from the ad agency that developed it in the first place (McCann). Visbal is the sculptor the ad agency hired to build the thing, she was likely contracted by McCann and not State Street (that’s how this is normally done). Her contract would’ve had to have said something along the lines of “no…

My experience with sizing has been completely different: I get a 2X or 3X and everything has fit pretty comfortably. I do read reviews and check the measurements before I buy, and I know what fabrics tend to make for a tighter or looser fit, but I definitely haven’t seen an 18 masquerade as a 4X.

And while they…

...probably a water pick.

I don’t understand Toronto’s new obsession with ribs. Or stag & doe’s.

Not here for this “releasing in two parts” bullshit, I thought Netflix was supposed to be all about binging a whole season at once. Before you know it, they’ll be releasing one small part once a week for several months!

just to please a bunch of people who, in the end, only want free food and drinks

I get that maybe the school lunch is harder to track (though they did notice he wasn’t eating it - could they not have worked with the school to observe him or something?), but what about dinners? Breakfasts? All meals on weekends and holidays? Feels like there has to be more here than parents assuming “he’s skinny so…
