I have been trying to not take stuff that my neighbours leave for free down in the lobby, but someone was giving away a bunch of small WWE figures and I would’ve blamed myself if I hadn’t taken this dude home. You could say I’d be…Unforgiven.

I don’t want to cause a panic but there is a TIRAMISU BAR that just opened in THE GLEBE and it is DELICIOUS.

It’s adorable that my sister has only recently developed a MASSIVE crush on Alexander Skarsgård. Now she finally understands why I mentioned him in my wedding vows 13 years ago.

From the people who brought you “The Night Mayor” comes…”The Downtown Safety Czar”!

@hydroottawa.bsky.social why are your outage maps showing "Lake America" FFS Do better and get a different map provider. Preferably one that isn't traitorous

I made the mistake of getting my medications *after* my surgery and I think I panicked my pharmacist because all of the adrenaline got me excited and I mentioned my face melting previously. Lesson learned!

Suggestion: After dealing with good customer service provided by humans, send feedback to the company to let them know how good the agents were. Tell them how much you appreciate having a person to help you and maybe they’ll be less inclined to move to chatbots.

Just a heads up #ottcity folks - there’s a dead bat on the Queen Elizabeth Driveway MUP between Waverley and Frank. It took me a little while (thanks, multiple jurisdictions…) but I’ve reported it and they’re sending someone out. But please keep your dogs/kids/husbands from touching if you see it!

My cat is passed out on my 20-year-old stereo set to make a point about how much he misses physical media.

Keep reminding senators to oppose permanent Daylight Saving Time! Sunrise past 8am all winter (past 9am in some states) would be depressing and dangerous. Health and safety need permanent Standard Time! www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Trump wants permanent daylight saving time. Senate Republicans may not.

I really hope this cyclist is okay. I don’t know the situation, but drivers LOVE to park at this spot beside Canal Ritz as though it’s their legal right and I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what this driver was trying to do. 😒 www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

I feel like it’s been a Wife Guy Summer so far and that’s great.

I wanted to read a single article on The Mary Sue so I disabled my adblocker and now I am cursed with the knowledge that there's a SpongeBob X Shein collection. Adblockers save lives and brain cells, people.

We went to see The Odyssey this afternoon. I left with the thought that Matt Damon was horribly miscast, and Mika left having had no idea that that was Matt Damon in the main role.

Netflix keeps sending me emails about their new Ricky Gervais cartoon about cats and this tells me how very, very stupid their algorithm actually is that it thinks I this is “something I might like.”

A stranger tried to talk to me at the bus stop about ten minutes ago and I’m going to be feeling this panic for the rest of the day, aren’t I? :/

The unregulated explosion of sports betting is definitely helping fuel transphobia in sports, it allows the bigots to hook their miserable asshole audience with the message of "you are losing your bets because of these people, they are taking your gambling wins from you."

Normalize running away to Venus to escape your haters.

This whole thing is concerning, but I’m particularly worried about the “parental rights” freaks that will be coming out of the woodwork to claim that child abuse doesn’t exist and even if it did, they’d be well within their rights. 😒 That’s not a direction I want the Overton Window moving in.
