Ok, tonight I'm watching Clue outdoors in Beacon Hill Park, and I take it back about Scott Pilgrim, THIS movie has everyone in it.
I tried to get a more iconic photo but failed.

Two weeks ago I had my bike stolen.
Today, Vic PD let me know they'd found it. What a relief.
It went on an adventure and got a bit of a makeover and a cheap dye job.
But I also went and bought a new bike, assuming I'd never see Marengo again...
So I guess I now own two bikes?

Almost halfway unpacked from moving after a landlord use eviction. Went from a 900sq ft apartment in a duplex, five units in the house, to a 900sq ft detached house! I didn't even know they came that small!
It's a cute 1950s house. Even has "coved" walls, where the walls curve to the ceiling!

I mean, there was that episode of TNG where multiple extras quit their jobs because they didn't want to be complicit in a brutally racist depiction of black people.
![Screenshot of text: Jonathan Frakes referred to the episode as a "racist piece of shit." [3] At a 2007 science fiction convention in Toronto, Canada, he told the audience, "The worst and most embarrassing and one that even Gene would have been embarrassed by was that horrible racist episode from the first season 'Code of Honor', oh my God in heaven!" [4]
Brent Spiner regarded this episode as the "worst episode we ever did" and "an inadvertently racist episode." (The Fifty-Year Mission: The Next 25 Years, p. 82) In a 2012 interview with TrekMovie.com, Spiner recalled, "It ["Code of Honor"] was just a racist episode. Maybe not intentionally but it felt that way and looked that way. It was the third episode so it was fortuitous that we did our worst that early on and it never got quite that bad again."

It's much much easier to address the problem by adjusting poll close timing, and it's mostly been accomplished here.
Ontario and Quebec results won't start coming in until way after polls close in BC.

I'll never forget Gene Hackmans absolutely atrocious polish accent in A Bridge Too Far.
The accent was terrible, but he still stole every scene.

I wonder why the uniformity of birthright citizenship appears to have a geographic correlation, surely there's no shared history to provide insights here...
