Wow... Indiewire should find someone who reads their own site to proofread their articles.

If you click on Jeff Bezos's name, it links to other articles mentioning him, like the 2021 article saying that he would step down as CEO of Amazon in 2022, which is what happened. Yet this 2025 article refers to him as "Amazon CEO".

Sure, he still owns a lot of Amazon stock and nobody knows who Andy Jassy is, but getting facts that that wrong is pretty ridiculous.

My PCP got me to do an online questionnaire through ADHD Online.

He thought it was quackery until the pandemic essentially forced him to try sending people down that route. He now trusts the results (and finds it way quicker + cheaper than a referral to an in-state specialist). Basically, your questionnaire takes the place of an in-person interview and gets assessed by a doctor in a low-population state. (I think mine was reviewed by a doctor in North Dakota or something.) I think it was about $90 (out of pocket).

Based on that I was diagnosed with ADHD, depression, and anxiety.

I followed up with my PCP, who got me on a low grade antidepressant. I don't feel depressed or anxious anymore, and it's helped me turn my ADHD into a superpower. (My brain is still all over the place, but I have the confidence to weaponize it.) I'm definitely one of the lucky ones, but that's the journey I took.

Original comic (with all eight panels): http://www.incidentalcomics.com/2012/08/pig-latin.html

As an Ontarian who was drinking in Belgium in high school, came home for university, moved to Europe for a few years, then moved to the US, I have to say "What?!"

Everywhere else that I've lived has had a far better selection and prices. Also, as someone who doesn't drive and lived in Toronto in my 20s, walking 30 minutes to the nearest Beer Store (I lived at Yonge and Eglinton) and carrying a 2-4 back home in the winter sucked. Everywhere else I've lived, I can buy beer a block away.

False. The Liberals are generally centre-right even within Canada. Your compass is off.

Your Newtonian physics argument is nonsensical and frankly rude.

So when you zip some files and then unzip them, some of the bytes are missing? Really?!

Wait... Is that community run by Gerald Holmes?

I babysat a brother and sister in the early 90s and we played Mousetrap properly after dinner to kill time until bedtime. Worst babysitter ever.

Then I let them stay up past bedtime while we figured out the most cursed modifications/add-ons. Best babysitter ever.

(In truth, I remember that I had talked with the parents beforehand about "stated bedtime" versus "real bedtime".)

Shoulda known better than to drive [Private] to Publix. That's how they get ya.

If parliament is prorogued until March 24th, then I guess they're not going to hit the March 19th deadline to resolve the unconstitutional "Lost Canadians" issue: https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/court-blasts-trudeau-government-for-delays-in-passing-lost-canadians-bill/article_5f2076be-b982-11ef-97b5-b76bc081d0ec.html

Note that this is the same cartoonist who suggested that Rashida Tlaib encouraging people in Michigan to vote uncommitted in the Democratic primary (as a protest against US military aid to Israel) was the same as supporting Trump.

Remember when Kevin O'Leary considered running for the leadership of the Conservative party, but dropped it because he's too stupid to speak French? I love the fact that our two official languages saved us from getting our own Trump wannabe.
