Ontarians are spending a record amount on a government whose focus is private spas, casinos, mental health chatbots, private healthcare, alcohol, groomed snowmobile trails, and well-trained peelers.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

I'm at the point in my job search where the job isn't even my goal — I just want a real human to read my resume. 😩

I have to rant into the void for a moment. I have an Adobe CC subscription. I know, there are better tools, but I can't put in the effort to move. So I tried out Adobe Express on mobile since I pay for it all.

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

Bill 60 passed earlier today.
“We see the risks, and we’re calling out this gaslighting for what it is — an attempt to weaken public oversight and hand critical services to private interests.”
My latest for PressProgress is on Ontario's Bill 60 and why some are concerned that it is paving the way towards water privatization.
