FOR SALE: Frustration insurance

Have you ever found yourself frustrated with a service? Ever wish you could be compensated for your frustration? Maybe it was a bad flight gone bad. Maybe when you showed up to your seat, you noticed that you got an aisle seat with barely any leg room, and the person beside you keeps watching Madagascar 3 without any headphones on a cracked iPhone 11, but it’s not even the full movie, it’s just YouTube shorts, and for some reason the clip is edited with a bass-boosted version of “Like A G6” playing in the background? And when you tell them to turn it down, they say, “I CAN’T, I CAN’T, I HAVE TO DO THIS, YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND.” So now everyone thinks you’re an asshole, and when you try to comfort the person by saying “it’s OK,” they continue yelling, “KING JULIEN IS GOING TO BE REALLY DISAPPOINTED!” Maybe you excuse yourself to go to the bathroom, to get away, but when you go inside the door locks and the only thing in the bathroom is just a video of King Julien doing calisthenics with American fitness icon Jillian Michaels, while “I Like To Move It” is playing — but it’s an AI cover sung by Benson Boone, displayed on a projector you can’t find, so now your whole flight you have to think about the gravity of your circumstance?!

Has a situation like this happened to you? Do you want to protect yourself from future emotional damage? Get your frustration insurance today — call 1-800-MOONBEAM and ask for extension 3289.

FOR SALE: Time Machine that can only travel 15 minutes forward in time

I recently built a time machine — but there’s a teeny tiny catch. It only travels 15 minutes forward. I believe that with some more effort, more time can be added to the machine’s capacity. It is, however, really simple to use and requires no background knowledge to operate it. A child can even do it. All someone needs to do is: step inside, close the door, close your eyes, click a pre-authorized timer, bolt the door, and wait ‘till you hear ringing. After the timer rings, open your eyes, and you’ll find yourself to be 15 minutes into the future. I believe there is a way to travel further in time, I just need to figure out how to set a longer timer.

Anyone interested? Selling for $35.

Celebrating Tamil Heritage Month in Canada

By: Heidi Kwok, Staff Writer Content warning: mention of genocide. January 2026 marks the 10th anniversary of Tamil Heritage Month in Canada. A decade ago, its designation was passed unanimously in the House of Commons to “recognize the contributions that Tamil Canadians have made to Canadian society, the richness of the Tamil language and culture, and the importance of educating and reflecting upon Tamil heritage for future generations.” The period from mid-January to mid-February (or “Thai”as known in the Tamil calendar), in particular, was chosen due to its significance to the Tamil community, coinciding with Thai Pongal — a four-day harvest festival celebrating the Sun God, and farmers, along with ancient rituals, feasts, and the enjoyment of a boiled sweet rice known as pongal.
