"No no your honour, you see, the containers in the photo are labeled 'meth', 'heroin', and 'cocaine' but in the illustration they're labeled 'cocaine', 'meth', and 'heroin'. It's a different order."

The accuracy and the maliciousness of a wasp getting you directly on the eyelid is impressive but also very upsetting.
Eric Wickham (@ericwickham.ca) reply parent
Sorry
Eric Wickham (@ericwickham.ca) reply parent
Im sorry to hear about your kid getting stung. It has been so bad this year. A few years ago, i was getting off a bus in parkdale and while reaching into my pocket to put my mask away, a wasp stung my hand. I suspect it was flying around my pocket and not just *in* there, but I'll never know.
Eric Wickham (@ericwickham.ca) reply parent
That's a great compliment, and it would absolutely consume me lol

"You mean i can spend $9 on a beer AND get stung by a wasp for free? At the same time?"
Eric Wickham (@ericwickham.ca)
This is the best time of year to be on a patio in Toronto because all the wasps experience some sort of blood fury and sting everyone

Mark please

This guy has time to go on a podcast and be wrong but he doesnt have time to send me one million dollars. Interesting
Eric Wickham (@ericwickham.ca)
A grim but important reminder

Why would you do this to me
Eric Wickham (@ericwickham.ca)
I was complimented today and, I have to be honest, I'm spiraling out.

Thank you this is hilarious

Yes

Bill Maher the Science Guy is something that is funny as a bit but would be horrible if it ever happened

It feels good to think the idiot child version of me would think I'm kind of interesting

I don't know who I thought i was going to be when I grew up, but I dont think I'd be that upset to learn how I turned out.

Many people are telling me there is plenty of ragebait. Thank you for telling me this.
Eric Wickham (@ericwickham.ca) reply parent
Yes

My prayers have been answered

I wish there was more ragebait. There are minutes, hours even, where I'm awake and not mad

I worked in software from 2021 to 2023, and at that time places were panicking about not finding enough young developers to train properly before the senior devs retired. Im not making any predictions, but i feel pretty certain that a lot of codebases are going to be fried.

Did you know a football guy and the person who makes music you dont care about are getting married? It's in the news for some reason!

An editor responsible for the National Post's remarkably bad opinion section has ideas about who is and isn't a journalist. He features a photo of a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist killed in Gaza at the top of his column.

Respectfully speaking, if you are in my life and you published something like this, I would be unkind about it.

What do you mean "why though" is not a constructive contribution to the discussion?

With their cool jeans or just with normal jeans
Eric Wickham (@ericwickham.ca) reply parent
Why does he wear them
Eric Wickham (@ericwickham.ca) reply parent
I hope you're right

Why would you leave your orthopedic shoes at home

Imagine if they had the same cool jeans

You know what would make bluesky better? A clique of eccentric power posters that all pretended to be friends but all secretly hated each other. Every week, another one of them could self-immolate for something unforgivable they said on discord or something.
Eric Wickham (@ericwickham.ca) reply parent
There's something ominous about your last few posts and I think that's great
Eric Wickham (@ericwickham.ca)
Im reading this as a threat.
Eric Wickham (@ericwickham.ca) reply parent
"Honey have you seen my cool jeans"
Eric Wickham (@ericwickham.ca)
Something very endearing about seeing a 40 year old man wearing his "cool jeans" to a concert so if the band sees him they'll think he's cool

Remember, if you're going to be this wrong about something, you should say it confidently and repeatedly.

Reminiscing about the time I posted a meme about a picture of a person four or five people sent to me saying they looked like me and the model in the photo reached out on Instagram and became my buddy.

I kept seeing these AI tornado videos on tiktok about a year ago, and they were very strange and not very good. The audio always seems to be from some disaster/monster movie

I'm sorry but if you spend this much for an obstructed view ticket to listen to wonderwall, you're probably the person falling for all the phone scams as well.

We have been duped, and now every weekend is a wedding thing. Look at what they've done to us.
Eric Wickham (@ericwickham.ca)
The cool thing about weddings is that sometimes there are several parties before the wedding that celebrate the fact that two people are getting married and you have to go to all of them.

I brought my family to DC for the Cherry Blossom festival. The first thing I saw when when I exited the L'Enfant Plaza Metro was several cherry blossoms, which I should have expected but it still scared me. So forgive me if I doubt that crime is down.
