1911, Vancouver Province reports on a Montreal lecture: evergreen headline.
World War I was a disagreement among Queen Victoria's offspring about getting revenge for the murder of a has-been never-was minor Archduke that quickly spun out of control because the diplomats were on summer vacation.
Let's honour our veterans by making sure that shit never happens again.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

If you're in England and in the mood for a great dessert go to county Kent in the south of England, there you'll find the city of Dover. Then board the Eurostar train to Paris.

The Beatles' Mr. Moonlight could be argued as the worst (least best?) track on their most overlooked album.
But as the opening song during their club days it must have been amazing:
"MISTAAAAAH Mooonliiiight!"
The audience has stopped chatting and drinking and has now wheeled in John's direction.

Just a reminder; don't give kids raisin boxes on Halloween.
Kids get free raisins every goddamn day. It's like your boss saying hey, free tap water in the breakroom.

Years ago I was rummaging in a garbage pile inside the abandoned Sears Automotive Centre at Hillside Mall in Victoria and found this 1988 original hand-drawn coffee-stained Bob Krieger editorial cartoon. 🖌️

I liked "The Friendly Giant" because it wasn't a noisy show about solving mysteries or wacky adventures, it was just three guys getting together every morning and shooting the shit. One just happened to be a rooster in a bag.

Selma van de Perre died in London this week aged 103. After her mother and sister were disappeared by Nazis she became a courier for the Dutch resistance. After the war she was a teacher, journalist and public speaker.

When I was a little kid we had to switch to the metric system and my school exercise book had a handy metric guide on the back cover and I totally thought the decalitre was going to be a thing.
