You mean cirrhosis?

So safe to ignore, got it.

I still have that nagging impression that we’re going backwards, that we were already further ahead a few years ago than we are now. The 90s and early 00s weren’t perfect, but they felt more like good things are possible.

No Stairway, denied!

Great, that means I can sell this idea to conservatives (trains = bad).

I have an opposite yet equally radical proposal. Time zones are subdivided into infinitesimally small segments of longitude, effectively making them continuous. They are assigned to individual persons based in their current location on the globe and are updated regularly through geolocalization services like GPS. When you move, your time zone changes as well. Have a meeting at 10am? No, you don’t. Living in UTC-8:00? It’s UTC-7:58:33.0371 in your living room now. Going to work on your bike? Prepare for time travel. No GPS connection? The exhilarating sensation of timelessness.

Ah yes, the 'Mericas

Speak for yourself. I’m all in on this trend and have even begun taking nano-retirements for about 16h each day.

Gotta wonder what part of “thou shalt not kill” is so difficult to understand for these people.

Thank you for the explanation. Just one follow-up to check if I understood: The minority government would then just include the Liberals but with support from the Bloc Québécois (i.e., the Bloc has the power to veto, but the legislation will still come from the Liberals)?

That seems plausible, although I still wonder why a coalition with the Bloc is then not also on the table (there’s probably a reason, I just don’t know about Canadian politics).

Question for the Canadians: Do you have two or multiple parties in parliament? I’m asking because the article states that a minority government was the goal, and I was wondering whether a coalition government wouldn’t be more advantageous.

I would’ve thought “finding fresh talent” is something that publishers do out of self-interest, but I guess I’m wrong.

Yeah, you tell 'em… uh… *checks notes*… Ayatollah Ali Khamenei?
