Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
The bit about the $5000 fine or the 6 month jail stretch might be a tad overblown since the law as I understand it is that foreigners can’t tangibly influence a Canadian to vote for or against somebody (bribery, basically), but John Oliver’s segment about the Canadian election is still worth a watch.

Yes, we’re reminding you to vote…again. This will be the last time, I promise. Maybe. Seriously though, vote. You wouldn’t want Raffi to be sad, would you? The main reason I’m posting this is to remind you of something that a lot of people forget or don’t know. You have time to vote, even if …

There are people like your grandparents and parents. You know, logically, that eventually we all are going to die, but …
This is long, long, long long overdue, but better late than never. Back in August, I heard that Jim Kitchen, the one who wrote all those Kitchensinc games, had died. I couldn’t believe it, but it was true. You can even listen to it if you don’t believe me. Jim Kitchen wrote some pretty amazing …
Here’s yet another protest song. So, if you agree, please, please, pleasepleaseplease, please, please please please please get out and vote tomorrow! Don’t make her write any more verses.

Summy Co. from the song’s writers and bought for $15 million in 1988 by Warner/Chappell Music Inc., only covered specific piano arrangements of …
A bit in this article about the challenges of accessible voting for the disabledcaught my eye. At the polls, visually impaired voters will now have access to magnifiers and voting screens that let in more light, as well as previously available resources like braille candidate lists and templates that, theoretically, allow a person to mark …
I’m happy to read that police charged one of the imbeciles that was throwing beer cans and other crap at the field during the Jays game yesterday. It’s too bad it’s only one, but if there can be only one, at least they got the asshole who almost hit a baby. Listen, you dopey motherfuckers. …
