Another good election reaction video, this one from the Daily Show. The question that really needs asking isn’t why Harris lost, it’s why Trump won. And a related one that I’ve been thinking about. What, to a 2024 Trump voter, would have been too far? I have my political preferences and dislikes just as anyone …

Here’s Seth Meyers reacting to Trump winning. It’s funny as you’d expect, but there are also a few important reminders. In particular, that history isn’t a straight line. George W. Bush won twice. Remember that? Remember how hopeless that felt? I do. But that wasn’t the end. And neither is this…probably.
Be Careful What You Wish For: American Election Edition
As I laid in bed last night, sleep avoiding me at all cost and with the reality that my closest, loudest neighbour just lost his damn mind again sinking in, I wondered what I was going to say about it. Should I even bother? Does it matter what I think? How do I even express …

It’s Time For Not Calling 911 About Tims
It’s always fun listening to someone who appears to be discovering in real time that he’s being a total dipshit. You can almost feel the panic, mental calculations and sense of resignation in your own self as reality sets in. Coffee mishaps are brutal, but NOT a 911 emergency! Nor were nearly 125,000 misuse calls …
Dear Republican Friends
I’m sure that some of you are going to vote for Trump no matter what. I can’t for the life of me understand why you would do that, but that doesn’t matter. As long as you live in a society where there exist free and fair elections, it’s your right to make that choice. But …
The Best News Bloopers Of September 2024
Does anyone have any idea how YouTube’s personalized notifications work? There seems to be no rhyme or reason to anything they do. “Oh, you’ve subscribed to this channel because you enjoy its semi-regular offerings and would like to know when there are new ones? Perfect. You’ll never hear from it again. But here, have this …
All We Are Saying…
I was figuring I would hang on to this and slip it in as a soundtrack to something when the moment was right, but you no what? Naah. The more time I spend being subjected to this United States election and to the very concept of Donald J. Trump, serious presidential candidate, the more I …
Perhaps We Need A Registry For That, Too
I’m having a little trouble figuring out exactly how stupid this gentleman is. Like clearly he’s stupid, but is he stupid or is he stuuuuuuupid? Police say a Hamilton man went to Kitchener around 11 a.m. on Thursday to “meet with a female youth for a sexual purpose.” When he arrived at the meeting spot …
War Pigs On A Boat
Not sure it needed to go on for four minutes, but I appreciate the gag. Helps the song age along with the people who listened to it back in the 70s.
Big Butts! Hallelujah!
I saw this as a short a while back and it made me wonder how long they could stretch it out if they tried. Turns out the answer is 1 minute and 52 seconds. And quite the 1 minute and 52 seconds it is.
