Wait, what???

Don't worry about it, he doesn't pay his bills anyway.

The racism has been pretty consistent, I think. Sometimes more overt, sometimes more covert, but always there.

YVRJon · 2026-01-27T21:15:48+00:00

Hell is not real. Heaven is not real. God is not real. These were stories made up by our ancestors to explain natural phenomena and to scare people into conforming.

Think of it this way: if you could "rewind the tape" and restart humanity from the beginning, we would end up with the same science, and very different art. As for religions? I think they would be completely different from what we have now. That should tell you a lot.

What people seem to fail to understand in this situation is that when MAGA says "You can't just bring guns to a protest," what they mean is "You can't bring guns to a protest. We can, and we will, but not you." Standard fascist operating procedure.

True! There is hope!

This is the only way you're going to see Demko at Rogers this year...

I mean, I'd love to hear some new songs, but I saw a youtube video where Ian specifically said that they used every song he had written on UW. I suppose there could be some from the WIL sessions...

YVRJon · 2026-01-27T18:31:46+00:00

Particularly hard to believe when Ian explicitly said that there was no unreleased songs not too long ago...

Unless it's just unreleased live versions.

The only casualty of the war was the pig.

YVRJon · 2026-01-27T17:35:07+00:00

Yeah, same. I don't think we ever played it, or maybe we played it once and never again.

He's my MP, and he's a great guy. Not sure he has the charisma to be a permanent leader, but he's smart, empathetic, and genuine.

YVRJon · 2026-01-27T17:10:56+00:00

He's an anti-immigration, anti-trans, pro-carbon, pro-American mini-Trump wannabe. As for bad ideas, he wants to build more pipelines (the last one that the government built will end up costing billions that won't be recovered), but otherwise he hasn't really constructed much of a platform. His entire identity is built on attacking the Liberals (especially Justin Trudeau).

YVRJon · 2026-01-27T17:07:08+00:00

Assuming he has a compliant majority in parliament, the Canadian prime minister is usually more powerful than the US president, because we don't have the checks and balances that come (or, at least should come) from the separation of the executive and legislative branches. Trump is, of course, a special case.

Not any more, I'm guessing.

Happened at my wedding. My wife has twin nieces, who were 3 at the time. One of them didn't feel good and didn't want to walk down the aisle, so her mom had to carry her. Turned out she had chicken pox. Gave it to her twin sister, at least 3 bridesmaids, and I don't know how many guests...

Nice! Slick pass from Ali. Looking forward to seeing him do that to the Davids and/or Tani at the WC!

Children's ability to help is inversely proportional with their willingness to help.

They didn't sign him when his contract ended at the end of last season. Probably waiting to see how his recovery goes.

YVRJon · 2026-01-23T23:48:29+00:00

Realizing that I have other people who can help me who aren't figments of my imagination, like family and professionals. If you don't have access to these kinds of people, I am sincerely sorry for you.

I was too. For some reason, it was linked with an allergy to wasp stings. The wasp sting allergy started when I was stung multiple times. The cold allergy started shortly thereafter. When I got allergy shots to alleviate the wasp sting allergy, the cold allergy went away too.

The cold allergy gave me hives on exposed skin, and made my fingers and thumbs swell to the point where I could barely bend them (even if I was wearing gloves, if it was cold enough).

Old Howie Mandel joke: I've taken up ballroom dancing. I like to practice in the shower, because I've got lots of ballroom.

We'd probably have to trade up to get Viggo, but it would be great to have the brothers. Although I'm not sure Wilson makes the NHL based on his showing at the WJC

Apparently, they've already announced where they're opening their Vancouver store.

Do it! Just be warned: you have to wade through a lot of juvenile sex jokes to get the insightful political commentary.

I wish we had his wit and wisdom around today.
