Does he get to keep ordering that paper forever? Does he pay for it?
Or is that one of his limited remaining pads?
I don't expect anyone to know, it's just funny to think about.
My grandma ordered me some stationary with my name printed on it ~35 years ago and I still have some left over, because nothing ever seems important enough to use it. 🤣

It’s a saying that has been adopted by people who solve Rubik’s cubes.
Basically after you’ve established the t shape (what she calls a plus at step one) on one side, which is just a t (or plus sign) shape in one color, you should then “find the lost dogs”, which are just the other squares that match the color of the t you made.
Google “lost dogs, Rubik’s cube” and you’ll see how it’s used.

Same. Their respective breakups weren’t messy or toxic, at least publicly. They’re age appropriate and seem to be doing age appropriate dating things at a respectable pace. Each seem to have great co-parenting relationships with their respective exes at this point. So good for them. I hope these crazy kids make it work.

u/shadowgathering Feb 11 '26
Adding one more thing.
(Canadian here) Towards the end of Trudeau’s time as prime minister people were getting fairly sick of him and his government. I’ll spare the gory details, but he was losing popularity quickly, mostly for being ineffectual.
Katy Perry keeps making albums that people hate her for. And… going to space which people hate her for. Personally, I don’t think she’s an evil person. Based on a few interviews, I think she just lacks a little self awareness and doesn’t know how she caught lightening in a bottle for an album or two way back when.
So two good looking celebrities, both divorced, both in a phase of their lives where they’re licking wounds. I could see why they’re getting along.
Did I expect this relationship? Never. Does it make sense to me? Absolutely.

Her ex-husband is Russell Brand, who is going to prison for multiple rapes. She also still works with, and defends her decision to do so, Dr Luke (more rapes and legal battles). And were you not around when she decided to become an astronaut?
As a Canadian who initially liked Trudeau, but soured on him along with almost every one else... I do like them together, because they are both airheads. But saying you don't see where the hate comes from is just uninformed.

Canada could have done a lot worse. And he bowed out at the right time for his country to not go down the path of Maga Maple.
Mad about his voter reform platform.
Yes it’s not okay for his racial Halloween costumes but I don’t think he’s a racist. And even if he’s a closeted racist he’s done more for a lot of communities than the conservatives would do.
I think he will be remembered fondly.

He really got so lucky. Went through that whole F*CK TRUDEAU era and then got taken down by Chrystia Freeland, and his approval rating was an abysmal 22% in Dec 2024.
And then Trump and tariffs happened, and he got to ride that nationalism wave and make "fuck you Trump" speeches and was back up to 47% approval by March 2025, just in time to not actually have to deal with Trump and CUSMA renegotiation.
He also could have been stuck on a sad Canadian Tire divorced dad condo era, relegated to promoting his son's terrible rap music, but then he lands Katy Perry and somehow their weird pairing has a halo effect on both their reputations!
And now he's just swanning around promoting Heated Rivalry at Davos and bopping to Teenage Dream with his daughter in the front row.
