As someone who primarily learned through reading and got lots of word pronunciations wrong until I heard them or was corrected, I will never get over the correct pronunciation of assuage (ah-swage and not ah-su-age). I hate it.

The Ontario announcement about making provincial public servants go back full time in January makes me extra glad I already got a doctor's note for working from home.
If you work for the federal public service, I recommend getting that note in the very near future because I would not be surprised if Carney pulled that too, to "stimulate the economy."
Even before this recent wave of People Who Have Always Been Against Israel's genocide in Gaza it has been really interesting to see people who primarily watch and read traditional media coming to that conclusion months or a year plus ago.
It really says something that even the constant Israeli propaganda machine's effect on traditional Western media outlets cannot hide the atrocities Israel is committing against Palestinians.
