A workable budget is one which is sustainable.

This pattern of "whoops this wildly popular show is just too expensive" is insanity.

Since #Neflix thought that #MarcoPolo was going to be their #GameOfThrones, and it just, absolutely was not..... it sure would be nice if they picked up #WheelOfTime and tried again.

#WoT was shaping up to be at least on par with #GoT and potentially better given how incredible season 3 was.

‘The Wheel Of Time’ Canceled By Prime Video After 3 Seasons Prime Video will not be renewing The Wheel of Time for a fourth season.

Noooo!! 😭

I wish they'd stop creating shows with astronomical budgets that only unrealistic viewership numbers can keep it going. 🤦‍♀️ FFS this so hostile to the public. Not every show needs a massive cast & 2 dozen exotic filming locations.

Distressing to see half of the audience at #NTSDramaFest Finals leave Friday night before the last show - just because it's a #French language show. #Theatre groups should be supporting each other.

Whose country is flooding whose with drugs? Canada to USA: 11,565 lbs. USA to Canada: 18,292 lbs.

11.5k lbs vs 18k lbs.
It's never been about the drugs or border security.

Going to be posting more about politics than I normally like to, until my country is no longer under attack by the US president. 😕

How can a population be convinced a lie is the truth? Stats from the National Literacy Institute: 21% of Americans are illiterate. 54% of Americans can't read beyond the level of a 11-year old. 57% of Americans have no education past highschool. America ranks 36th in the world for literacy levels. White US-born adults are the largest group with low literacy.

Friend's meme coping strategy isn't pulling any punches today. 😳

90% of all guns entering Canada come illegally from the United States. America must secure it's porous border.

We see your (non-existent) #fentanyl & raise you #guns.

Toronto police chief sits behind a giant wall of cocaine from one (1) cocaine seizure coming into Canada from the US: 835 kg = 1840 lbs.

For comparison this is one (1) cocaine seizure coming into Canada from the USA: 835 kg = 1840 lbs.

From a single seizure. One.

Infographic of Fentanyl seizures at the US border (January 2025). 1,029 lbs represented as bags of potatoes & the portion from Canada: 0.003 lbs is a tiny teaspoon of rice in a open palm.

A friend of mine's coping strategy is by making infographics. 😳

Can also mean that you're putting in a lot of obvious effort but not getting an equal amount back out. Ie it looks like your work is a thankless endeavor & you could probably chill out with little loss to yourself.
