Unfortunately, with singledom comes bizarre overtures. Nick Cannon just said he wants to have baby #13 with Swift: “I think she would relate to me very well.”

I wonder whether a(nother) concern for someone like Taylor Swift, when they leave a relationship, is having to ramp up security. I imagine there are thousands of people now thinking thoughts and indulging fantasies ranging all the way from “so, you’re telling me there’s a chance?” to “ohmygod I knew this was just an…

Yep. My hot take for the day: buyers who actually need a truck should be required to apply for a “work” designation for it. Otherwise, it’s classed as a “passenger truck” and regulated accordingly.

Sadly, that’s about the only aspect of this that gave me a “wtf?” moment. Graft, corruption, cronyism at the highest levels? Shitty, to be sure, but I’m not naive. But that someone thought “hey, let’s hire a guy to create a giant image of our weekend-at-the-cottage collusion session!” seems utterly insane to me.

An excerpt from just one of the news items I have seen describing the courses being used to train teachers to carry firearms in school:

Well, that’s the first time I’ve come across a reference to a “cousin-mistress.” I’m betting it’s exactly what it sounds like.

The real hed, and all the breathless present-tense description of features and amenities, temporarily conceals the fact that this thing doesn’t actually exist.

“I like my big feelings; the ability to feel so deeply is beautiful. My empathy drives my career and provides me with purpose and hope.”

Are you better off for having read all of this?

There’s not enough information on the survey methodology to know for sure, but I don’t believe there is a chance in hell this was anywhere near a random sample.

This sounds insane to me when I think about my last new-car purchase around 5 years ago. I bought a new 2017 A4 Technik (called Prestige in the US) with the S-Line upgrades for right around $50k Canadian. I felt pretty goddamn extravagant about it, too. To hear that this is the new average, and in USD just seems nuts…

Sorry, I could have been more clear. While I find the suggestion of having cycling routes “elevated or underground or through buildings” to be silly, I’m not against proper bicycle infrastructure. It’s the last paragraph that’s the really bad part.

Holy shit, that’s a bad take. Please don’t make me list the reasons why; just renounce it and hope you can be forgiven someday.

I had seen all the Rivian marketing campaigns with the cars just eating through the snow so it was kind of like, man this is disappointing.

No, you had it right.

The only legal destinations are indoor or outdoor licensed ranges.

“You can use autonomy to limit tasks that are dangerous or boring”

You are not alone. All I could think was how much I wanted to sort that shit out properly.

Holy shit. For the first few, I was thinking “yeah, these don’t seem too accurate, do they? But I don’t know these players, so maybe they looked like that at some point?” Then I got to Janine Beckie (I’m Canadian and I follow our women’s team), and until my eyes moved to the right, I actually thought “I guess there’s…

If you can’t tell if someone is in the office or not, then that person can work from home.
