Will it work if I do this from Canada? I haven't had a period in over 4 years (help, I've been pregnant for 4 years!) But I want to help y'all too!

Ah okay. In Canada the day after remembrance day is usually the "respectful" start of the season.

So, tomorrow presumably?

I think Mercury's been in retrograde for a really long time, can we ask the astrologers to fix it so the world can go back to being sane?

Pretty sure everyone in the world is either 30, 60 or a child.

In that context it makes sense though, it's being used as an adjective, as is "older".

In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry. It's such a nice catchy tune that I enjoyed until my partner pointed out:

Have a drink, have a drive Go out and see what you can find If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel

Which, ew.

I think pumped up kicks is actually a really poignant statement on how normalized gun violence is in the states, to the point where this song was all over radios and I'm sure all over high school dances and nobody thought twice about it. Like obviously the band did it intentionally but the fact that the point was missed so hard by everyone who sang along. It is like Hey Ya vibes to me, or smells like teen spirit for the older crowds. The point is to take these very serious ideas and use them to highlight people's willful ignorance.

I'm Canadian, but I think after next year I'll be on our own track, only with a slightly smaller and less effective train

Just, like, spend it all on hookers and blow or what?

Would this honestly surprise you?

It would be, if those same billionaire owners didn't pull the politician's puppet strings.

Happens in Canada too, only we actually have multiple parties. but the left sides tend to split the vote more whereas the right manages to have less splintering and usually will back one of the major conservative parties. It sucks honestly but I'm okay with it because at least I don't feel my vote is wasted when I vote for an alternative.
