Random gripe: the GIFs available on this site are a$$ and for some reason alt text won't work for me when I upload a GIF.

I don't have anything original to say about it, but here is a response to JD Vance claiming Canada's standard of living is low "because of immigrants"

I figured it would be appropriate to watch the Evil AI episode as well.

I find I have no inspiration for pumpkin-carving this year when there is so much real-life horror happening, so here is last year's - Medusa (based on the Medusa in the 1981 "Battle of the Titans" film: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X7W...)

I was going through the saved memes on my phone, and this one is like a PSA for good social media practice
The "change my mind" meme except the sign says "posts hidden" and the person's face is covered, while their cup says "user blocked" as does the cup on the table

Did I just find someone who managed to have their pic taken while giving the finger to the Google Street View car?

When will the CPC realise that no-one actually wants 2 elections in a year. Preferably not even 2 elections in 2 years. Please stop
Yesterday, we started hearing about rumours of an early election. And those rumours have grown louder by the minute. Carney’s government is worried its budget won’t pass.
