Whenever Earth Day arrives, I always wonder what planet we're meant to be honouring the rest of the year

Oh, of course, DUH.

Snacks on a Plane

"Das Beet (The Beet)" would have worked better.
I was thinking of the SCTV parody "Das Boobs".

Art always meets the moment.

Add food to a movie:

Mr. Smith Goes to Wasabi
The Magnificent Aspirins
Meat Streets
Close Escargots of the Third Kind
Rear Walnuts
Seven Salami
Broccoli Thieves
Pretzels: Based on the Novel "Snacks" by Sapphire
La Strudel
Das Beets (The Beets)

Isn't that everything these days?

To see or not to see? Every single Shakespeare play – ranked! Antony and Cleopatra? Exhausting. Lear? Magnificent but flawed. Hamlet? Limitless. For Shakespeare’s birthday, the Guardian’s former theatre critic ranks all the plays

Really, Guardian?
Some weird rankings here. Why is Julius Caesar so low? How can Titus Andronicus rank above Othello and The Tempest?

One week!
I order you to get excited.

Alberta announces move to 1950s time EDMONTON — After weeks of speculation, Alberta’s United Conservative government has announced that the province will be moving to the 1950s on a full-time basis. “Many Albertans just aren’t comfortabl...

Alberta announces move to 1950s time

I want to see this one.

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?

ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

One of the preview screenings of the original cut of The Magnificent Ambersons in 1942. Before the RKO butchers got their hands on it.

I visited the Little Canada attraction for the first time yesterday.
Love that they actually have a miniature recreation of Little Canada in the Little Toronto section. I like to imagine that there's an even smaller Little Canada inside that one, and so on forever, like Russian nesting dolls.

Vonnegut: 1965

I was sitting next to a sweet mother and (grownup) daughter from the 'burbs, who clearly hadn't been to live theatre in a long time.

During intermission, the mother asked me: "So... they're singing live? Like, those are their real voices? They're not lip-synching or being dubbed?"

Seventeen or eighteen years ago, actually.
(Not that anybody cared)

They told me I was getting a trip to Chicago for only eighty-nine bucks, but it turned out to be the damn musical, not the city.

I saw the NYC production about fifteen years ago, figured I was due again.

Spoiler alert: Roxy dies in prison.

I wish I'd heard about LibreOffice far, far earlier.
I was using Open Office at home for years, and it suuuuucked.

TIL that Robert Palmer was singing "You like to think you're immune to the stuff" in "Addicted to Love".

Not "You'd like to think you're a new type o' stuff."

In my defence, I haven't voluntarily listened to that song in like forty years.

Toronto!

This is happening in two weeks.
It's an open mic too, so bring any poetry, music, or comedy you'd like to share.

Shouldn't the green light be on a dock on the other side of a bay?

If they really wanted to piss off Collins, they should've inducted Timmy from South Park.

I suppose I should've written "Wandering *in* the Eaton Centre," or "Wandering *around* the Eaton Centre." I meant it in the sense of "Wandering the Eaton Centre," but shortened it like a headline.

At least I still know how apostrophes work.

Wandering Eaton Centre.
Peeked into JD and noticed they have shoes for MENS and WOMENS.

Not men's or women's shoes. Shoeses for MENS and WOMENS.

They charge like $150 a pair, yet still can't afford a basic education...

New gig date!
June 4: Fire & Dust, Coventry.

(I previously said I was just going to do the open mic there, but the feature cancelled, so I'm in.)

Just signed up.

‘I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, decided not to destroy an entire civilisation. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, The Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.’

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

do we honestly have no way of ending a presidency for posting “a whole civilization will die tonight”
