Well that's a bit rich, Australia.
How many distractions deep are we now?
Wildfires have burned about 7% of Canada's forests — roughly 27.3 million hectares — since 2023, and the country’s tree nurseries are wondering how they can possibly keep up. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/08/26/n...
Mmm, yes. And then there's the guy I worked with on a TV show in '20-'21 who said Covid wouldn't be such an issue if "people just drank less soda." Point being: where the fuck do people get these ideas? And why do they air them with such confidence?
Is that how it looks? Still??

I dunno but at least NIN inspired The Soft Moon.
Silence by Shusaku Endo. Also, I am hearing good things about this kid named Vonnegut.
And we're happier for his continued silence.
The former, sage-like editor in me to me when I spot the typo in one of my posts: stand let it.
Here's $10 mill to get you started. (How I wish.)
My gym has a board where membets can write their answers to a monthly question. This month it's "Your Dream Job is." And friends, the answers are despairing: "hit 100k subscribers"; "start my own property mgmt biz"; "Mark's wife"; "be the best content creator." A virus with shoes, indeed.
We are a society of rubber neckers.
A team's closer should strike fear in the opponent's heart, not get his mouth salivating.
Well ... fuck.
Yes, 'gen ai' should be banned. The data centres and hardware must be repurposed. Everyone involved at CEO and executive level should be put on trial for misuse of a whole planet full of data they don't own, straight-up fraud. And civil suits should go after them and their employers for every asset.
And that's why Chip Wilson poops at home.
If someone can bottle Motrin and Gravol into a nice smoothie for me that'd be nice. French Vanilla or Mango would be appreciated. #Migraine
Don't do it Estonia!
It galls me that one time I used a chat bot successfully was with Service Canada. Saved me hours of in-person waiting, but I felt unclean for days.
Hey, Victoria! Introducing campaign office hours: Our amazing team of volunteers will be at The Drake EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT to talk with you about the campaign, til Sept 24! Come ask us questions over a beer and meet some fine folks in your community 💚🤠
Blossom's in it? Shame. Straight to the BDS with this one.

Kissinger die again?
It's a long weekend. See you in three.
And there was a baby shower in the office today. So. Much. Food.
Week one on the job done. Long weekend of rest earned.
Fine I will add that to my Goodreads. When you already have 7000 books to read, what's one more?
Gavin Newsom appeals to people who think liking coffee is a personality trait.
When buying an apartment is becoming impossible, we need to start discussing what went wrong.
its been like a week since we found out meta was encouraging sexual discussions between its chatbot and children and now we learn openai encouraged and helped plan suicide and no one is doing anything about it
Highly recommend The Chicago Party set. Also Basement Beehive: The Girl Group Underground. But for real: Numero does not disappoint.
If it's not Numero Group, it's crap!
The Angry Eric Clapton is still slinging his shit? That's impressive.
Bill Hicks did a bit about it. Simpler times.
He just mad they took the Chewy Gooey Dog Shampooy off the shelves due to poor sales.
That's me done with football.
A mellow afternoon with Kraftwerk. #MusicSky tidal.com/browse/track...
It's 3 years to election. There are 290 million US citizens and approximately 240 million are natural born citizens. If you can't find a presidential candidate who doesn't want to strip someone of their human rights or genocide others, you absolutely suck as a nation and a people.
TIL Macleans is still around.
Carney & Canada's statements on Gaza are completely vacuous & shameless Gaza doesnt need Canada's pity. Canada is still arming Israel. Canada must implement full and immediate arms embargo. And sanction Israel. And suspend all military and trade agreements. Escalate to break imperialist consensus
Last day at Red Cross before the new job starts tomorrow. This gives me a few days to "enjoy" a quiet commute before schools are back in session next week. Slowly becoming (sigh) a morning person. Welcome to the working week.
And I barely complained. So proud of myself.
Andrew Coyne should be delighted. I wonder if he'll enlist.
What's heartened me in recent social situations with strangers is the OPENNESS of people to say, "I'm lonely and I want to meet people. I want to be around folks, sharing experiences." Seeing fewer and fewer folks fronting has motivated me to keep getting out there. Though I could do more.
Seems a good day for some zydeco. #MusicSky tidal.com/browse/track...
A view that never gets old.
Estelle Costanza voice: I had no idea @mondomascots.bsky.social were here! This changes everything!
Yeah, I'm excited to start a new job on Tuesday, then a class the following week, simply to see if I spend less time in the digital sphere. I hope I do.

It may not be as bad as Hüsker Dü's The Baby Song, but it sucks. Righteously! Burn it.

I enjoyed the break from hearing this smug arse speak. Truly it was too good to last.
If anyone can direct me to a handy guide on how to extricate myself from Google, that would be appreciated. The task seems overwhelming.

Buuuuuut, if the pop leads to Sam going to jail then [Insert Fonzie noise.]
Does your book club wander off the subject book (in this case Station Eleven) into such subjects as sperm washing, gun control, salty cheese and the swimming pool scene from Haunted? If not, join mine! We fun.
After this process, there needs to be a serious discussion about Section 107, how the government has been using it, and how prominent companies have come to expect workers to be forced back to work, robbing them of their leverage — as Air Canada’s CEO openly admitted. It can’t continue.

You mean Evil Kirsten Dunst? Frankly, anyone who takes that job should be hoisted into the sea upon completion. Instead of the book deals, they should swim ... forever.
The Air Canada workers demanded fair compensation and went on strike and the gov tried to shut the strike down through forced arbitration. They defied the order and had a wildcat strike. Despite the media pushing a corporate narrative the public supported them and they won. The tide is changing
Flight attendants at Air Canada have shown workers acting in solidarity can defy a crackdown on their rights—and strike for a better deal, including ending unpaid work. As Carney prepares major cuts and attacks on public sector workers, it’s a model for bold labour action. youtu.be/f08RS-o5ohk
Omg, thanks for the Fela Soul reminder.
Seems everyday there is more reason to be disappointed in this country.
Me: Thank you My Bank Balance: Seconded. Been a minute since I was a 9-5er. But I figure two weeks will lock it down.
I appreciate this. I like to scout ahead for people to block.
Well NOW I want to learn to kayak.
Update to the update I forgot to update: was set to start on the 29th. Now, a week today. 7 days to train my body to be coherent and functional in the am.
Good news like this should become trendier.
Borg you say.
Wow, a win for the working class? By Gar it's been awhile.
Imagine supporting scenes like this because of a tidy quarterly dividend.

Thanks, pal.
Job landed. Start date TBD.
Usually I have to eat my lunch to lose it. Not today.

It's not great: it's too hot, it's too loud, there are too few marshalls trying to point out the exits, and every five feet or so, sits some asshole who says it's no big deal.
TL cleanse. Because you need it but won't ask for it.
The Hit! I forgot about that one. Might cue that up first in the memorial movie marathon.
They did?! But I only just interviewed on Friday. They can't possibly be that quick. Or can they?
