Canadian Voter: I think who I voted for would be the best to take care of Trump, because Trump is, I’m sorry to say, an asshole.

It's really hard to overstate how hugely favored conservatives were up until two months ago.
Here's the graph of Canadian polling between March 2023 and March 2025. (Reminder: blue is conservative.)
Those are months and months of 20+ point leads for Tories.

I’ve always wanted to do this. Sci Fi road safety campaign on a shoestring. Homage to the Burma Shave ads that featured on Highway 61 from the 1920s to the 1960s.

Lesson for this Trump tariff shakedown bullshit is that you can call him up and say "well okay, we'll do [list of things we're already doing], that's a really good idea" and he will take that as a win. It's like putting a blanket over a budgie's cage

The French were the original advocates of en plein air painting. Decided to give it a go today. Quite happy with the result. It’s called ‘Spock visits an Air BNB in Switzerland’. $399.99.

Idly wondering whether there’s someone in the writer’s room for Skeleton Crew who knows that SM-33 is also the name of an Australian mouth ulcer treatment and hasn’t let on.
