JD Vance just "well-actually"-ed the POPE I am an atheist, and I won’t stand next to Vance for fear of lightning strike. (And other reasons, of course)

Tina Yazdani got fired?? WTF, @citynewstoronto.bsky.social?

The Ontario government is splitting the Director of Education role into two roles that are both called CEO 🤦‍♀️ www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Why am I more awake at midnight than I was at 6 pm 😭

This is a truly hilarious follow-up to a spam email (note the amount of elapsed time between the first email and the follow-up). No, spammer. Everything is most definitely NOT okay. How much time do you have?

"CBC has such a liberal bias!" CBC: … (this is not me claiming CBC has a right-wing bias but rather CBC has a "please don't defund us Gov Daddy" bias)

It never fails to amuse me when randos email me to criticize one of my book reviews. No indication they want to start a thoughtful dialogue about differing interpretations of a book. Just telling me my review is "stunningly wack." OK then. Thanks, I guess? 🤷‍♀️

Computer, add Yakety Sax to this video.

Live at twitch.tv/tachyondecay with some Assassin’s Creed Origins and then *maybe* the new Star Trek: Voyager game? Come hang!

My corollary to this as a teacher is that "phones in the classroom" aren't the problem, which is why even a totally effective ban (lol as if) won't help. It's a larger social issue for which the phone itself has become a metonymy.

I'm quite enjoying Bones. Angela is my favourite

Absolute clowning #OntEd

I regretfully announce I must Leave The House this weekend. Please remember me when I am gone.

YouTube: sabrina carpenter is live from coachella wanna watch Me: No thx, you know I'm here to watch mythbusters

3 good main chutes, good reefing, good descent rate

BEAUTIFUL descent, omg

That was cooler than any CGI spacecraft shot I've ever seen

What a view!

Nothing like a low-scoring 3-person cribbage game ending with a 24-point hand giving me *exactly* enough points to scoop the win out from underneath the person in the lead! 😂

At what point does Carney just become de facto Conservative leader

I can deal with 15 cm of snow tomorrow or I can deal with the erosion of the education system slowly yet inevitably causing me to burn out but I cannot deal with both

"welcome back, we are still here, they are in space" —Leah Cheshier Mustachio just now 🤣

books: the rectangle that can’t send you push notifications. Try: books.

Jared Isaacman looks like his hair and ears are trying to escape from his face.

Even on the eve of nuclear war, I am troubled by the Trivago Extended Universe, a world of single, aggressively hairy men who are constantly on vacation and intensely competitive with each other about hotel reservations

Look what I picked up from my indie bookshop today: @chanda.blacksky.app's new book and @amalelmohtar.com's new anthology! I can't wait to read these!! 📚💙

WE HAVE EARTHRISE

Listening to the troubleshooting back-and-forth between the astronauts and control is so cool. (In this case, the shroud they improvised on a window to block Earthshine in the cabin was causing temperature control issues.)

Integrity just asked Science for geologic history to inform a theory that Wiseman and Hansen are tossing back and forth as they observe. This is TEAMWORK in action!!

Canadian astronaut Dr. Jenni Gibbons is doing a fantastic job as CAPCOM.

I don’t think I would ever want to be an astronaut. But it would be cool to be on one of the support teams doing stuff on the ground.

For the first time in my life, humans are flying by the moon. AWESOME.

The #Artemis II crew are now further from home than any humans ever. 🌍 The record of 400 171 km was previously held by the Apollo 13 mission 🚀🌕. Astronaut Reid Wiseman “We choose this moment to challenge the current & next generation to make sure this record is not long lived”

Long weekend means a rare afternoon stream! Catch me playing Assassin's Creed Origins over at twitch.tv/tachyondecay

Yesterday, the neighbours and I made cheesecake together. Today, they gave me a huge helping of leftover ham and a few other Easter dinner fixings. 😋 I love my neighbours.

The Purity Problem on the Left: Leftist A: Capitalism is gross and inhumane. Leftist B: Capitalism is dehumanizing and disgusting! A: Clearly we have irreconcilable positions. Leftist C: I think a *little* racism or transphobia is OK. A and B: … A: Sure, you’re all right. B: It’s a big tent!

Live with some more Assassin's Creed Origins over at twitch.tv/tachyondecay

LMAO YouTube trying to sell me "Premium Lite" for C$8/month 🤣 Nothing "Lite" about that. What a joke these subscriptions have become.

I volunteer to a community garden and have a plot. A lot of "homesteaders" talk about non-reliance on other people, but my plot neighbor said, "Oh, you want a trellis I can build you one custom for cheap." I offered help back. Really, the best gardening and farming 🌱 is a group affair.

I should probably be doing chores, but I have decided to be irresponsible on this Good Friday and stream for a couple hours instead twitch.tv/tachyondecay Assassin’s Creed Origins, here we gooooooo

Not my car insurance going up by $400 this year 😭

I predict The Pitt season 2 will end with Robby adopting Baby Jane Doe and becoming a girldad.

"Aren't you feeling silly, panic-buying inflated RAM a few months ago? Prices are starting to drop." No. I'm relieved to be wrong because it's a sign the bubble might finally pop, and if being right meant millions suffering because of equipment shortages, I would have taken no joy from that.

Begging. Pleading. Offering up my first born child.

I think third winter is here.

I am tired but it’s the start of a long weekend, so IMPROMPTU STREAM over at twitch.tv/tachyondecay for some Assassin’s Creed Origins

Astronaut Jeremy Hansen is taking Indigenous culture past the Moon: his mission patch was designed by Henry Guimond, an Anishinaabe artist, incorporating one Indigenous perspective about the seven sacred laws, which are represented by animals. 🧪 #ArtemisII
