My wife and I kinda watched the game while we were eating dinner out, and remarked on how little we understand football. I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW! I‘M A BASEBALL LADY!

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT

Monday is my last US Holiday. Apt.

Went to the grocery store and got a rewards account. They asked if I was visiting, I said I'd moved. From where? California. Long pause. "Is it THAT bad?" "Getting there fast."

This is … I mean come on, this is bad.

I feel like nothing sums up the hypocrisy of America quite like this headline.

*every Black person in the US stares Bethunely*

Oh it’s 0c/32f right now. Everyone is in a coat. I’m in my Birkenstocks, ankle socks, and a long sleeved shirt.

First Canadian lesson for my wife… “Hon, theBeaverton.com is an Onion site, it’s satire.” She is relieved.

I just have shitty luck renting longer stay places. This is the second time it was full of lies. Or in this case, empty of the promised amenities.

I am now legally responsible for my wife as we wait for her Canadian Permanent Residency. Wheeeee! Also? All my clothes are in Canada with me.

Thanks so much for chatting with me!!!!

How I'm dealing with my stress: I bought a 3d printer and am producing 100 whistles at a time. 1000 heading to Minneapolis tomorrow.

One of the points I tried to make clear in having this conversation was: I’m not a radical. I am a *boring middle-aged dad*, who’s raised tens of millions of dollars in venture capital, and worked in tech for decades. I have not lost my mind, or become an extremist. THEY DID.

In this age of AI, I can see a contestant on the GBBO asking “what would Paul Hollywood assign as a technical for bread week? …” But then … you want to make it better for them!

our server died today at lunch, which made me realize just how much we depend on restaurant wait staff

This is why I’m leaving. If you’re looking for a sign, I’m it.

The sun has made an entire solar rotation back to the day i was born 🍰🎉 the only thing I want for my birthday is for more people to wash their hands for the full 20 seconds.

My movers have found toy mice from our cats. Our last cat died a couple years ago.

Moving sucks. International moving is worse.

Songs from my (made up) album: Life of the Rails, a collection of Traveling Tunes - Forget about Quincy and Wells - Stuck in Santa Ana - Strip search to Cleveland (and they didn’t let me keep my hummus) - Grounded by Lightning - Overnight in O’Hare - Aromatherapy Convention Delays

Rick Diggins, Man of Action, gives me the best wake up for my wife: Wake up, you little shit, it’s time to get real. 🚬

Hmmmm. What could those shows possibly have in common? 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Yeah, no idea. 1. The OA had Buck, who was trans 2. One of the Dead Boys is a gay boi 3. Sense8 is queer as a wet dildo 4. One of the teens comes out

Credit cards and banks who let you change your address to a non USA one are ... slim. I mean, one bank and one credit card can do it. Everyone else you have to _call_ And then their systems go "Er... Canada?"

I've broken three websites updating my address. Discover is now having an issue with "British Columbia" and not allow BC. Eventually Raven (who rocks!) put it all in as one line and the state is Canada, and the country is International. It worked! We laughed. 1/2

My anxiety is warring with my meds again... Why? * Moving internationally * The US in general * Moving internationally * The US in general...

Rogers: Sure you can have a phone number before you move! We need you to fill this in. Me: Done. Rogers: We need your SIN. Me: There's no place to put that in. Rogers: ... Oh

on the one hand I love the way Ole Miss fans have embraced the T&T flag for Trinidad Chambliss but not gonna lie every time I see an Ole Miss fan with it there's like .13 seconds where I'm like OH NO

Why is someone trying to get into my instagram and keeps trying to reset the password? Everyone who knows me knows I rarely use it.

Good intentions.

Unless states suddenly end the requirement that graduation from an ABA accredited law school is required for the bar, this only hurts Texas and Texas A&M attract students who have their eyes set on places like Chicago, New York, or the DMV.

Holy Roman Empire ... My mother in law, whom I love, has left us EIGHT (so far...) hair dryers, curlers, and/or straightening wands. I have had short hair the whole time MiL has known me. My wife stopped styling her hair about 15 years ago. Every time MiL is over, a new one appears.

"Avelo spokeswoman Courtney Goff confirmed Avelo will be withdrawing its participation in the DHS program with the planned closure of its base at Mesa Gateway Airport (code AZA) on Jan. 27." - Congratulations to the activists and organizers who made this happen. www.theledger.com/story/news/2...

What are some great feeds and people to follow for someone moving to British Columbia, in the greater Vancouver area?

“OMG you’re moving to an unsafe place in Canada!” No, I’m moving to where Canadians think is somewhat less safe than other places. It’s safer than where I live now. I dumped a lot of stats on my mother in law.

Listening to a family friend tell me how dangerous Surrey BC is while a helicopter and cop cars can be heard from my end of the line in Anaheim California. The scale is different.

Naturally there was a scheduling fuckup with movers that resulted in me changing my flight ✈️ Still, we’re getting there!

the journalists

Happy Birthday, Dad. Miss you.

If you're not American and are like, wait the US bombed its own citizens in a major US city? Yes. And then some researchers thought it was a good idea to secure the remains of two of the children killed and show them off in class for funsies en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_MO...

In general the landlord situation in the United States is a shithole where prices are out of control and the majority of landlord 'agents' are cruel. Once in a great while you get amazing landlords. My last two have been incredible.

I’ve taken to doing crosswords and I have a couple books of the nytimes easy. Today one clue was “One may be roseate” and I had the starting letters SP Thanks to @samreich.bsky.social being so cruel to @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social I know it!! #GameChanger

I wish Baldur’s Gate 3 had sleep arrows.

Why doesn’t HBO caption commercials? Do they not want the hard of hearing to get interested in their shows?

The kitchen aid ruined my final batch of bagels, by the motor breaking. I got it working again, and they it puffed out smoke. Sigh. Well it’s not coming to canada
