Not put the impact of that into place, maybe.
ETA: what a shocking number of people have not heard of is the Moorish invasion. That had a huge influence on European culture, and it often gets skipped right over in school history classes on the rush to cover the Renaissance and colonialism.
Yes, that’s it.
Oui, c’est ça.
Less than happy Canada story. (But needs sharing):
P.S. Fuck John Tory and his assumptions.
I nearly got into a fight with my mother in a restaurant over this because she claimed it would be “wrong” for Mr. Singh to represent Canada should he become PM because he wears a turban and that mixes religion and politics which “we don’t do in this country”. Because Harper was all about the separation of church and state (narrator: he was not).
Then she compared Sikhism to Happyology* and claimed that “it started about the same time.” (Wow… I had no idea Happyology started in the fifteenth century).
Please, mother: Just. Stop. Talking.
*not the real name, but we don’t need to be harrassed or sued.
… I really need to know what Happyology is. LOL
It’s very, umm… scientific.
It’s a cult bunch of guys involved in the study of science.
I’m assuming the higher level practitioners do a lot of couch jumping on day time television?
We’ll, one did. So scripted. Much uncanny valley.
The answer should be clear.
Volcanoes, but not beer volcanoes are somehow involved.
We need to do better than this. The fact that it took this long just to do this is a fucking disgrace.
Not exactly news…but it’s kind of, well refreshingly creepy? Creepily refreshing? As compared to what the world’s like today, that is.
ZOMG, it is soooo …the Blackfoot dances: “Well, it may not be Fred Astaire, but it deserves a solid hand…” I want to die. Even for Warner Brothers, this is cringey-laughy-mouth-dropping stuff.
On a happier note, happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving, dear readers!
I will admit to being stuffed.
We deep fried a turkey!
Working today sucks.
I took a vacation day today 
But I get the feeling I’ll regret it tomorrow 
Today I learned my Prime Minister recorded a station identification segment for a well-known Seattle independent radio station.
