They are so into the Roman Emperor schtick. The pseudo-Classical ballroom. The triumphal arch. And now, gladiators.
Next time an American trash-talks Canada for being a constitutional monarchy, I will point out that at least ours is constitutional.
For your #FacadeFriday viewing pleasure: post-1877 (fire) commercial streetscape, Saint John, new Brunswick.
I guess I should have waited a day to post this. Anyway, here it is again for #PharosFriday.

I don’t really care about the matches, but *this* will be worth watching.
When we ask AI to write for us, we diminish our capacity to think for ourselves and connect with one another.

I hate this whole discourse which is a product of the students as customers model. Going to university is not a service with an intended outcome, it is a choice to take time to experience life and develop yourself. It isn't an investment that you can judge on how much money you make >

It’s not a new Harry Potter book. It’s the GOP's latest strategy for explaining away its utter lack of evidence of widespread voter fraud.
'(Ironically, the history degree has proven hugely valuable in a business that is all about first-hand reporting, detecting narrative bias and the second source.)' Weird use of 'ironically'. Surely this value is also part of why so many lawyers have studied history at university.
