At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

I’m rewatching Battlestar Galactica (2004) for the first time since it came out. I’m halfway through the third season and I have no recollection of any of this season! This is bizarre.

To steal from Mitch Hedberg… He still does, but he used to, as well.

I guess the genie misheard me when I said I want to see a bit of the ~future~, because now everything's slightly pink.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

@philmscribe.bsky.social, you have until Wednesday to get to Seattle for the parade. 😉🍻

Absolutely do not need to hear the drones while watching outdoor events at the #Olympics. Might as well layer in the sound of the dentist’s drill while we’re at it.

If Vancouver’s Science World was the Sun, then, at that scale, Voyager 1 and 2 would be — plotting along the Trans Canada Highway — on either side of Calgary, AB. (Pluto would be between Lytton and Spence’s Bridge, BC, less than a 3.5 hour drive from Science World.)

Dennis Miller, while on SNL’s Weekend Update, took a different direction that I still reference to this day when visualizing large sums. I don’t recall his number, but it was like: “Imagine this pencil represents one billion dollars... You would need 12 of them to represent 12 billion dollars.”

Co-worker on a call: "You can't spell 'funeral' without F-U-N." 😆

Passenger on the train was FaceTiming somebody with the volume turned way up. She thought by holding the phone up to her ear she could hear it better. She was pressing the person’s face on the screen to her ear. Like the sound was coming from their mouth. Oof.

I wish I was kidding, but even though it’s a charity game involving the Vancouver Canucks Alumni team, I got emotional when they introduced the Sedins.

Of all the modern day dinosaurs on the planet, maybe penguins are the best?

I figured out why Trump actually wants Greenland! He's trying to get the 5 bonus armies for North America!

The topic of ER visits came up and my parents mentioned Mount Saint Joseph's Hospital has the shortest wait times in Metro Vancouver. Where? What hospital? I've never heard of it. Before he tells me where it is, my dad states, "you've driven past it hundreds of times in your life." 1/2

Hey, @philsy.bsky.social! Look what I found! (Buried in a drawer.) It’s almost 20 years past its best-before date. Should be okay still, right? 😆

Hey, @officebob.bsky.social, could you help a friend out with advice on rabbit care? (We're all members of the Brotherhood of Former EAC QA. 😆) (cc: @shanesbrains.bsky.social)

I'm somewhat amazed people still don't know what a Rottentomatoes score really means. 100% does not mean it's a 10 out of 10. It means everybody thinks it's at least a 6/10. Conversely, a 0% RT score ~could~ mean everybody gave it 5.5/10. "Will I ~like~ it?" is the question its answering.

Every day is Fuck Cancer Day. But especially today. Fuck you, cancer. Forever.

I went to block ICE on here, but the account was already blocked. (Subscription list.) I almost want to unblock them just so I can block them myself.

Block instantly.

I've been saying for a few years now, the company that decides to go back to basics and makes an appliance that's simple, affordable, and engineered to last decades, will likely take over the market. No fancy options. I think we're all tired of the it's-made-to-last-10-years-maybe bullshit.

That first sentence is kinda similar in meaning to a mis-attributed "Dr. Suess" quote. So let's just attribute Cargill's entire post to Suess because having the Doctor drop an f-bomb is pretty funny to me. And he's right.

BlueSky now has more users than Canada has people.

I’ve lived in my home for almost 18 years. Blindfold me and I’ll still find my way around. Today I reached for a light switch that was not there. Never had been. Not even close. It’s the beginning of the end, folks. 😆😩

I picked the wrong day to become a Crystal Palace supporter.

Huge if true!

A Pavel Bure video appeared in my YouTube feed and the name given to him by a co-worker of mine many years ago immediately popped into my head: Paul Butter. 😆

The First World War started about four weeks after Franz Ferdinand was assassinated. That’s in the back of my head after ICE murdered a US civilian, today. Start the countdown…

With Gilligan The Skipper too, The millionaire and his wife, The movie star The professor and Mary Ann Will return in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY

Working on a software defect and the developers are saying, "My user <this>" and "my user <that>," and it's taking all of my willpower to not chime in with, "My user wants me to go after the MCP."

Could Canada support a retaliatory strike against the US? ASKING FOR A FRIEND.

My wife just said I had abs of steel… as they’re being smelted.

I'd been stuck on a project for months. I decided I'd force myself to just write something over the holidays to get it going. After a week, I'd only added a page and a half. Ugh. And then, last night... 12 pages! Not only got me going, but it also gave me a clearer view of the finish. #scriptsky

The son got his sister a light present but put it in a big box and put some weights (15lbs) in it. As she laughed at what he had done he said, “This is what they mean by memories being a gift. Enjoy your trust issues!” 😆👏🏻

I just learned of the Irish tradition, the 12 pubs of Christmas. There’s only one pub in my neighbourhood. … But there’s also 7 micro breweries and a distillery and I WILL MAKE THIS WORK!!! <BATTLE CRY>

It’s a Wonderful Life and Peace On Earth / The Little Drummer Boy are similar in that the part that people think of when thinking about them is closer to the end than they realize.

Tired: destination weddings. Wired: destination funerals.

In less than 50 years, universities will offer up courses studying cursive handwriting and the credits will go towards getting history and archeology degrees.

According to the lyrics, on each of the Twelve Days of Christmas, you receive from your “true love” (crazy stalker?), a new gift PLUS more of the same gifts received on the previous day! Also, hope ya like birds! And human trafficking.

It’s @garygulman.bsky.social Eve in Vancouver! For a few more minutes, at least.

Sad day. It’s gone.

Hey, @wolfvanhalen.bsky.social, how the fuck do you do it?! I've had all-time favourite bands for the past 40+ years that have skippable songs. Hell, some of them have skippable albums. 3 Mammoth LPs (+ bonus tracks), and NOT A SKIPPABLE TRACK IN THE LOT! How?! It's witchcraft is what is it!

“You were Ghost Rider for the last three Halloweens! Change it up, next year. Please!” “Fine… the German guy from Raiders of the Lost Ark.”

I'm working on a story about a woman who makes a Christmas wreath for the front door on her family's home using the branches cut from the base of the Christmas tree and a big glittery bow. Over just a few days, the glitter from the bow spreads through every room in the house. #scriptsky 1/2

Hey, @audacityofdespair.bsky.social, I found them! Unsalted, too!

If AI is so good then why doesn’t the spellchecker recognize that replacing the last g of a word with an apostrophe is a legitimate choice. Stupid fuckin’ fucks.

Young man wanted to look tough. Wanted to look cool. So he started smoking. Decades later, he thinks he should quit, but he can’t. He still wants to look cool, but when he takes a drag and lets the smoke out, he smells like cotton candy.

My father was an architect before he got into project management. He could look at a building -- from outside or inside -- and know that the architect had used AutoCAD. He said the brain works out problems better when pencil/paper is involved. I wonder if he could spot the AI use in this? /s

Of course almost all of us could hear it. But who amongst us could honestly say we could feel the noize?
