Anywhere.

The Social Security trust funds are projected to run out about six months earlier than previously estimated, according to a new analysis from the program's chief actuary.

Letters sent Aug. 5 to Sen. Ron Wyden (D‑Ore.) and Rep. Steven Horsford (D‑Nev.) say the combined Old‑Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) and Disability Insurance (DI) funds are now expected to be depleted in the first quarter of 2034, rather than the third quarter of that year as in the most recent trustees' report.

I don't trust them.

Canada Post is dying, not with a bang but a whimper, a reality its management and union refuse to accept.

As things stand, its days are numbered and it will inevitably be privatized.

Mail volume dropped from 5.5 billion letters in 2006 to 2.2 billion in 2023. During that same period, the average number of letters households received per week plummeted from seven to two.

The government ordered an end to the most recent postal strike, which lasted from Nov. 15 to Dec. 17, 2024, declaring the two sides at an impasse.

Another sign workers know the writing is on the wall is that they have not returned to the picket lines, instead taking the less drastic protest measure of refusing to work overtime.

In May, a government report on the state of Canada Post recommended changes it must make to survive.

They include phasing out daily door-to-door delivery to individual home addresses, except for businesses — which many Canadians haven't had for years — closing rural postal offices, expanding community mailboxes and hiring more part-time workers to reflect daily mail volumes, which the union rejected.

When you come from nothing, you want to give your kids everything. Then you realize giving them everything teaches them nothing.

New ice cream flavor inspired by breast milk goes nationwide



A new ice cream flavor mimicking breast milk is being released nationwide, offering a unique taste experience inspired by a Kardashian's comments.

The ice cream, created by Frida and OddFellows, is designed to replicate the flavor of breast milk using ingredients such as milk, cream, sugar, and bovine colostrum. This unusual flavor combination is intended to provide a sweet, slightly salty, and smooth taste with hints of honey.

The ice cream does not contain any human breast milk but aims to mimic its taste.

Bovine colostrum, a nutrient-rich substance produced by cows after giving birth, is used to achieve the desired flavor profile. The product is priced at $13 per pint.

The inspiration for this flavor came after Kourtney Kardashian publicly commented on the taste of her own breast milk, prompting Frida to explore the idea of bringing this unique taste to a wider audience.

Unless it's marketed to babies and toddlers, it's disturbing.

Labubu is just the latest Chinese pop-culture incursion aiming at American hearts and minds.

Americans are hanging Chinese monsters from their purses and calling it fashion. The Labubu doll — a deranged creature with elf ears and dead eyes — has become the latest "must-have" accessory across America.

Pop Mart's stock price soars as millions of Americans embrace these plastic demons, never pausing to wonder why this craze came from China or what cultural current carried it across the Pacific.

This isn't about toys. It's about cultural dominance, and China is winning. Once the global master of soft power, America is losing its grip.

Emotional anchors
These wide-eyed mascots worm their way onto backpacks, keychains, and nightstands across America. And that's exactly why they must be seen through a broader lens. They're more than merchandise. They're emotional anchors, symbols of comfort that quietly draw Americans toward Chinese brands and aesthetics.

I think so too Oliver.

'Not all countries have the same values and legal system that we have in Canada.'
An executive order signed by President Trump upon taking office is having a ripple effect on gender activism in Canada.

On January 20, Trump signed an order titled "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government."

The order affirmed the "biological reality of sex" and formally recognized only two genders in the United States. Canadians were recently notified that the order is now restricting their gender performance in terms of travel documents.

Since 2019, Canadians have been allowed to designate their genders as "X" on their passports, a policy that progressed through the Nexus travel cards, a joint program between the Canada Border Services Agency and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The program allows travelers between the two countries to cross faster using expedited lines and screening processes.

Now, the CBSA has confirmed that Nexus users from Canada will no longer be allowed to label their gender as "X" and must be compliant with Trump's executive order moving forward.
