Today's Great Stuff

Here are some of the funny tweets and stories I have seen over the last couple of weeks:

I am so tired of living like it's the 1600s. Can I afford eggs at the market? Are my friends gonna die in the plague? Puritans coming for my sinful lifestyle. I want some modern problems. Modern Problems

Yeah, and here's a Modern Problem:

Of all the shifts I’ve made in the past few years, I think the biggest one was becoming a one space after a period person instead of a two space after a period person. 👀😂 /s

The FreeDumb Convoy remnants are trying to celebrate the Ottawa Occupation anniversary this weekend. Sad!

Interesting to watch the freedom convoy celebrate the looming 1 year anniversary by reminding us all what absolute fucking clowns they all were.

#Poilievre bet his political fortunes on the #FreedomConvoy and rose to the very pinnacle of power in the federal "Conservative" party, who lined up four square behind him & put him just one election away from Prime Minister. What. A bunch. Of LOSERS. #FreedomConvoy2023 #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/4A5LoODWFf

Geez ... even with Pierre Poilievre bussing people into town today, the Freedom Convoy hoedown and substandard hygiene convention up on the Hill was, by all accounts, a spectacular flop. Don't forget to pay your parking tickets on your way out of town.

And speaking of assholes:

There is no "pitchbot" account in this country that can top this actual tweet. pic.twitter.com/XISqNsF0yS

Elon Musk bought a social media platform for 44 billion dollars and exposed himself as an alt-right wing douchebag when he could have done it for free by simply tweeting “I’m an alt right wing asshole.” and I can’t stop laughing.

Here's a fascinating twitter story:

The Vikings reached North America 500 years before Columbus.

And they also sailed to Britain, Spain, Italy, Russia, North Africa, the Middle East, and... Paris.

Another great twitter story, from an archaeologist:

It was six years ago, and my mate, Pink, had just been told he was going to die. He accepted the news with a grace I can only marvel at, but he said he’d a list of things he’d still like to do.

We sat in a pub one night and read it over. Eight things? Four months? Ok. Deal.

Here's another story, sorta NSFW:

So my friend called me this morning to talk about something that happened to her last night. She’s been trying to find someone to date…extremely casually. She doesn’t have time for a full blown relationship and basically all she wants is a nice man to have sex with.
