Thank you, Gastmeyer’s Lube and Lovense, for signing up for The Daily Me. Our search engine has combed the Internet for up to the minute news items that fit the profile you have so painstakingly filled out for us. Then, we weighted the probability that you would be interested in these articles against forms which showed what people with tastes similar to yours have liked reading in the past. And, then, they say that no good deed goes unpunished. They also say that virtue is its own reward. We say: the value of virtue’s reward is inversely proportional to how badly the good deed is punished.
You can’t argue with the math.
Enjoy,

His Only Other Famous Quote, “Excelsior!” Didn’t Seem appropriate
You can often tell how seriously a political party takes an issue by how much time they devote to one side or another of it. Consider the Republican Party’s evolving response to the pandemic:
COVID is not a serious illness. The Democrats are blowing it out of all proportion in order to control your life. (14 months)
Get a shot for COVID. Wear a mask when in public. (5 minutes)
COVID is over. The Democrats are clinging to it because they want to take away all your freedoms. (3 months to date)
To quote the famous philosopher Stan Lee, “‘Nuff said!”

You Seem To Have Overlooked The Most Important Part Of The Experience: How Was The Popcorn?
I went to a theatre for the first time in two years to see Shang-Chi: The Legend of the Ten Rings. On the big screen. In 3-D. It turned out to be a disorienting experience.
During the first act of the film, I thought the use of soft focus was overdone. It seemed to happen at random points; a few seconds of clear imagery would be followed by one or two seconds of blurriness. After five minutes, I wondered about the cinematographer’s skill. After 10 minutes, I wondered about the cinematographer’s sanity. After 15 minutes, I wondered about the producers’ sanity.
After 20 minutes, I recognized that there was a regularity to the soft focus. It seemed to coincide with…my breaths. It was at that moment that I realized that the mask I was wearing as a condition of being let into the theatre was fogging up the 3-D glasses.
Now that I know what happened, I don’t worry about anybody’s sanity. Except, maybe, my own.

“I Would Love To Have Death As A Guest. If You’re A Close Personal Friend, Please Let Death Know I’ll Always Take Its Call.”
By now, most viewers will know somebody who has died of COVID. You may even be somebody who died of COVID. It happens to the best of us. You may find this prospect…troubling. But, let me ask you: would it really be so bad to die defending your freedom? I mean, we’ve all got to die some time, right? Why not do something to make that death meaningful? Besides, death has gotten a bad reputation as a chess playing freak in a long cloak holding a curved spear, but is it really such a bad thing? When you’re dead, you’ll never have to worry about paying your bills again. You’ll never stay awake at night wondering if the woman lying in bed next to you is having an affair with your children’s dentist. Paying taxes for bloated Democrat programmes that benefit queers and people of colour? You’ll leave that all behind. Death…death is not a thing to be feared. It’s a thing to embrace!

The Title Matrix: Resurrections Was So On The Nose, It’s A Surprise The Wachowkis Have Any Other Recognizable Facial Features!
Keanu Reeves will be returning to the Matrix series for the fourth movie, even though his character Neo died in the third movie. Carrie-Anne Moss will also be back in the fourth movie, even though her character Trinity also died in the third movie. On the other hand, Laurence Fisbourne will not be back in the fourth movie even though his character Morpheus survived the third movie.
This makes about as much sense as anything else in the franchise.

You Uhh, Might Want To Speak To Your Leader Before You Make Statements Like That…
“Racism and Islamophobia has no place in the Conservative Party of Canada.”
– CPC spokesperson Chelsea Tucker
“We will then raise our flag as a sign of that commitment of building a strong future and better Canada in the future.”
– CPC leader Erin O’Toole on why he pledged to return flags to full mast on September 30, which has been announced as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation to commemorate the discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves on the grounds of former residential schools, the reason the flags are at half mast

Bullheaded Obstinacy Combined With A Tendency Towards Enjoying The Suffering Of Others Is Not A Medical Condition
Toronto Police: In two weeks, COVID vaccinations will be mandatory for all employees. The only exceptions will be for people who have a medically valid reason not to get the vaccine. For anybody else, if you want to work for the police, getting the vaccine will be mandatory. Required. Compulsory. Obligatory. You have to do it.
Toronto Police Union: Naah. We don’t feel like it.
Toronto Police: Oh. Okay. That sounds like a medically valid reason.

I Prefer To Think Of Myself As A Thompson’s Gazelle Of A Writer, But I Will Admit That I’m Not Sure Exactly How That Metaphor Maps
Are you a pouncer or a plodder?
There are two kinds of writers: pouncers and plodders. Pouncers are like lions in the unspoiled Savannah: they jump on a promising idea and rip it apart with their claws and teeth until a tasty story emerges. Plodders are like the tortoise who slowly, methodically, painfully slowly crawls an idea down the path from start to finish. Incredibly painfully slowly.
Which kind of writer are you?

Framing Is Everything, As Anybody Who Has Ever Hung A Painting (Or A Traitor) Can Attest
The provincial government is facing growing criticism for delaying vaccination mandates on essential workers for as long as it has. Critics have repeatedly cited concerns that the lack of mandates would trigger labour shortages as the majority of Ontarians who are vaccinated refused to risk contracting COVID by working alongside those who are not.
Said no newspaper ever.
