OMFG, instagram has quadrupled the number of ads it's showing me, and they're all pushing AI slopshit—-apps and business tools and fake music and movies. Gambling ads would almost be a refreshing change at this point

Carney is truly the Reagan of Canada. A calming, paternalistic figure in a period of apocalyptic uncertainty who galvanizes the economy with short-sighted right wing fiscal policies. And like Reagan, every disaster that Canada encounters in the future will be traceable to his administration.

I can usually avoid the pumpkin spice, but I've already seen christmas decorations, dammit.

I went out for a bit of dancing last night, for the first time in a year, and as expected, my lungs were very much unhappy with this boost in activity. But it was outside in decent weather (full moon by the lake) so you take advantage while you can…

Got upset and made this so hopefully people will actually listen. What the fuck are we doing here folks?

The illuminati may have been led by lizard people who wanted to harvest our organs, but at least they weren't stealing all out water to build more data centers.

The grade school behind my place is having an outdoor dance party. And the biggest screams were for 'YMCA' so i know our schools are doing something right.

Happy Summer Solstice, the tallest day of the year

The local ice cream truck now plays "Turkey in the Straw," rather than last year's "Little Brown Jug," which seemed somewhat inappropriate for kids' treats.

It's taking so long because Peter Capaldi has to spend 7,000 years in a time loop punching each individual letter off the wall of the Kennedy Center.

Oh, right, I had asparagus

The episode is Fourth Doctor and Romana, but the captions are Seventh Doctor and Ace, from 11 years later. Some new type of time travel experiment?

Coke has bought the naming rights so now it's called Fantavirus™

Surprised to hear that Ask Jeeves has shut down this week. Honestly I thought it had shut down years ago. At least there's still AltaVista and Infoseek

Have the Scientology speedrunners considered greasing themselves up so they're harder to catch?

Disappointed to find the all dressed chips I bought to satisfy a craving turned out to be low-sodium plain. My taste buds are demanding shots of straight vinegar as partial compensation.

In biology, a wormhole refers to something else entirely.

every time i look at instagram, i feel like im the only adult who doesn't know how to make money

I'm somewhat envious of people who can have five different hobbies, and time enough to not only do them but also post extensively about them to social media.

It's January 2nd and I've seen Valentine stuff, Easter stuff and ads for Black Friday specials. Time has essentially become meaningless.

Coming home from a holiday party and it's not even late enough to be on the night bus. What's happened to me?

Glad i didn't wait any longer to buy an SSD for my laptop, since the price has gone up 50% from when I bought it, just TWO WEEKS ago. Also glad I don't need to buy RAM.

If your book opens with a map or a floor plan, you're in for a good read.

Had a little idea for a nautical fantasy trilogy. Titles The Yellow Ship of the Thing; The Toot Hours; No Returns, All Sails Final

Widescreen was a much better innovation than tallscreen
