Was not thrilled to walk out of my studio into some action with the tactical unit. Absurdly dressed cops in war gear with machine guns. They were just standing around wasting taxpayer's money I guess.

I have finished my studio kitchen. All the upper shelves were left over bits from last fall's trailer reno. I added a water filter for drinking water to the sink instead of the soap dispenser that it came with.

Looking for technology that will allow you to see who's at your door yet not take part in mass state surveillance? Let me introduce you...

So I decided that we should go see Avatar 3 in the theatre with premium seats in 3D. We just rewatched 2 and it's just...meh. But 3 will be our 1st movie in theatre since 2019. I expect the story will be also meh. But it will be beautiful & I miss movie popcorn.

Watching a Fallow recipe vid for filet tartar and one of the comments is "ewwww. That meat is raw!!"

Interesting that the 2 most popular Canadian tv shows worldwide in the last decade prominently feature gay characters.

Yes! The process is always the point and if the process is pointless then so is the result. This also goes way beyond art I think. To create is to be changed. I wrote a whole long diatribe on it once so it's nice to see the sentiment echoed by bigger voices

This should be standard for every transit system. And they should have to do it twice a year, in July & January because the January trip will show the flaws in stark detail.

Seems like @brandonsanderson.com & I agree. Really good summary of the current situation. I think most artists who have been making art for any period of time share similar views. Art is the process and how it changes the creator. The creation is more important than the result.

Dead on. Alan Watts used to talk about this. "People seem to think we come into this world and are strangers to it, instead of coming out of it like apples on a tree." I think its in "Nature, Man and Woman" that he goes into our divorce from scent.

Kim & I were discussing people who use highly scented products, perfumes & air "fresheners" & I had a thought that their use is directly associated with a great disconnect from the natural world. In nature, things, including humans, have smells. Most people have been taught to avoid them at all cost

Because someone reminded me of it, I went back and read Mindkiller by Spider Robinson (1982) It's just such a great book. A proto-cyberpunk (2 years pre Gibson's Neuromancer) mystery. Wireheads, hacking big tech. Such fun.

Do I know any hella organized and bossy folks that want to come work with me? Onlea is hiring a Project Coordinator to help shepherd all our incredible projects along and be the communications hub between us and our clients. onlea.bamboohr.com/careers/74

Seconded. Low in East right now.

SG1 episode Urgo. Dom Deluise is so fun. Must have been fun for Peter to direct his dad

Happy Groundhog Day! I am a fan of the absurdity of weather prognosticating rodents and celebrate Groundhog Day with my thermochromic linocut. The shadow is visible if the ambient temperature is <30°C and disappears when >30°C (and it’s a safe bet winter is over or you are overheating your home). 🧵

Mondays are always fundays in the studio with new eps from @greatesttrek.com , @flophousepodcast.com & @ihavesomenotes.bsky.social (every 2nd week) up on the playlist

Many of you in the Alpha stream may want to upgrade to Beta Merica but if you're not, I'd recommend waiting for the full production release of Pmerica.

Alphabet had revenues of 385 billion in 2025. 68 million is 0.01% A slap on the wrist with a feather

This. Also IBD and Crohn’s. Be better.

There's literally no excuse for that horrible, horrible man but people with celiac (like me) and IBS are seeing a lot of ableist posts right now. Shit happens (literally) I've had several close calls in public, including while playing a gig. Stick to his actions & policies.

This just showed up in my recommendations and Happy Days was fucking woke (complimentary) Also, by all accounts I've seen, Henry Winkler is a gem.

Missed Connection: I was driving home at 2:30. You were pulling out of a parking lot in your cybertruck. I gave you the finger. You drove by without noticing. DM me so we can reconnect and I can make sure you see. 🖕

Someone brought me an unasked for boba tea which I'd never tried before and I've got to say. I don't get it.

Today, Sam responded to Kim when she said "it's over by the guitars" We've never told him anything about guitars. Tonight, I pointed at my bare feet and said "what do I need" and he went & got my socks with no other prompt So yes, we're going to get in touch with the lead on this study

The final Blade movie trailer

Good thing there's no pressing healthcare issues. But it will give ucp members plenty of time to support separatist traitors.

Hey @benjaminahr.mobi (yes it's me again) Here's proof that Stargate: SG1 is canonical Trek. Anthony Montgomery in one of his first roles in S3E10 (carrying in moving boxes with no dialogue so pretty much Mayweather in ST:ENT 😏)

5 classes I took in university Computer science: I dropped out in the first month English lit: I failed because the Prof objected to my opinions Education practicum: I discovered I didn't like teaching children Hanging around HUB eating mmmuffins General Hospital watching Luke & Laura

Kelvin Helmholtz maybe. A herd of Kaiju. Also maybe

You can submit a complaint to CBC ombuds: cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/ombudsman

This is CBC parroting the police (who also claim to be in mortal danger by simply touching the stuff)

Massive cuts to the public service, rules preventing companies from being held responsible, complete abandonment of environmental campaign promises but he put on a sweater about a tv show that people like... So yay? (No)

Made all sorts of soups (potato leek, Thai green & red etc) but haven't made chicken noodle soup for decades. Woke up wanting some Chicken thighs, homemade stock, celery, onion, carrots, cabbage, bay, tarragon, garlic, oregano, black & white pepper, cayenne, salt & gf linguine noodles Spectacular

I know all the NDP folks will do this, but it's a good idea. The real question is if any of the ucp have any courage to do this.

Harris is my "your work reminds me of" guy when people talk about my art. Oddly, as a self taught artist in the early 90s, I had no idea who he was or his work. My mom visited me in Calgary in 96, saw this & said, oh that looks like Lawren Harris & I said.. who? She bought me a book for Xmas 😏

I know @benjaminahr.mobi & @cutfortime.bsky.social had opinions 😏

"I realized that imposter syndrome deals with the totality of your goal & not the minutiea. So whatever miniature steps you can take, take those" Don't know who this guy is but that is incredibly wise. Also another great Musora Covers ep.

Magnets are absolutely bonkers these days. As is this build.

Take a break whydontcha?

We had 650 artists post over 8500 images here in December & 97% of those images had AltText. If an artist can take the time to describe their art (often not an easy task) to be inclusive, the least you can do is learn how to use text recognition copy & paste for your articles & shit posts.

AI POWERED is an anagram of APE WEIRDO

My exits: Twitter: October 2024 Instagram: January 2025* Facebook: June 2016 Threads: January 2025* Whatsapp: never used Tiktok: a month after I tried it Substack: never used Financial hit? Yes. Social hit? Yes. The right thing to do? Also yes.

Fwiw, I'm doing studio renos & not painting because I messed up my thumb & wrist reposting 8500 images in December, then doing 2 days of 8 hours video editing and then trying to paint hundreds of stars. The gross muscle movements of construction are helping with recovery. (I hope)

Two years ago, private companies were lined up to build new renewable energy powerplants in AB, w/ ZERO subsidies from the AB government. We led the country by a wide margin. Then, oil lobbyist Danielle Smith happened. First to last in just two years. Thanks, Dani 😞. #ableg #cdnpoli

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So on large boulder the size of a small boulder day, I return to the question. Was the officer correct? Was the boulder in quantum flux of both large & small until viewed. Could it have been small boulder the size of a large boulder? Large boulder the size of a large boulder?
