Yep. Yep. This one hit me pretty fucking hard.

This is the kind of thing that happens when infrastructure is consistently underfunded. Deferred maintenance almost always ends up costing much more in the end.

The distraction alone is worth it. The rest is gravy.

One more time for the people in the back.

FYI if you do not lurk on other sites, and are trying to find a hotel to attend #EarpFest Toronto. #WynonnaEarp #Earpers docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Because I needed the distraction ... here's what you little maniacs have done so far. #WynonnaEarp #Earpers www.justjared.com/2025/12/30/w...

Barrel aged coffee = delicious. ☕🥃

Sipping coffee and admiring my Christmas Lego which got finished just in time. The candle decoration was not the easiest thing to make.

Socks procured! Haven't set foot inside a McD's for years, but they finally got me with the holiday merch. At least I can use these.

Finally watched Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) for the first time! No one does exasperated better than Steve Martin. And John Candy, so bittersweet in this. #FilmSky 📽️

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Those cats get me every time. #WynonnaEarp

Curse you, Costco.

Popular day to fill up at the gas station.

Young Frankenstein (1974) and Dracula (1931), last weekend's pre Halloween B&W double feature. First time watching Dracula, which looked great for a nearly 100-year old film. Young Frankenstein is an old favorite. Such a good cast. #FilmSky

Not to be THAT dictionary, but… It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’ It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’ It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’ It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’ It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

Sweating my butt off outdoors on a work trip. At least the views make up for it.

After trading messages with so many readers asking this question, I pulled together a post on how to find trustworthy news sources. The bad news: It means a LOT more work for consumers. READ: https://loom.ly/lG92xgs

It's come to my attention that October 8th is both International Lesbian Day AND World Octopus Day. So #Earpers know what that really means: it's Horny Nicole Haught Day. #WynonnaEarp

Got to play dress up like the Village People today, and it's not even Halloween yet!

I'm not a white chocolate or milk tea person, but this was pretty good! Very creamy, not too sweet.

Waiting for Tubi to make the leap with an account here. #WynonnaEarp #WelcomeHomeWynonna #Tubi

Warning: I will also respond this way if served celery.

Today I learned that some chickens have crazy hairstyles like this.

PS Waverley, as seen from the Glasgow Science Centre. I did not realize it at the time but she is an operating paddle steamer, part of the National Historic Fleet. Looking sharp for a ship pushing 80 years old. www.nationalhistoricships.org.uk/register/90/...

Things I ate in Scotland, a thread. The obligatory Irn Brus and Tesco sandwich. The Tesco was convenient, but I was really craving a hot lunch after a few days.

Perks of WFH: Treated to a nice rainbow and a half on my morning walk.

Let a visiting coworker use my office while I was away. Came back to find these little critters had taken up residence all over the place. I think I found them all, but time will tell.

The final vote! You determine who will wear the sash and crown.

Postcard from Glasgow

Enjoyed meeting and working with these fine humans at @earpfest.bsky.social last weekend. #Earpfest

Mickey 17 was recommended by a friend, with no description or background provided. Found myself with a lot of time on my hands, and finally gave it a watch. Good if you like dark humor! Pattinson did a very nice job as the Mickeys. With Steven Yuen, Toni Colette, and other familiars. #FilmSky 📽️

Once you and the other cattle run the security gauntlet, EDI is actually quite a decent airport. I'll sort out photos later. It's been a memorable trip!

Post-Earpfest fun with new friends: went to Stirling and Falkirk with @kedanearaven.bsky.social and @chrisjevann.bsky.social. We went train hopping, geocaching, and experienced at least 3 seasons that day.

Irn Bru, Nessie Nectar edition. Better than the Unicorn Tears. This one was vaguely fruity; took me a while, but I decided that I was picking up on some peach notes. Thank you to @haughttoscot.bsky.social for the special delivery!

It's been a bit jarring to have the lobby occasionally overrun with Emirates crews. #Earpers and Emirates, what a combination. At times we'd walk out and see two dozen of them standing in formation like a little army.

Stuck indoors due to the storm, but making friends in the hotel lobby.

Spreading joy in the autos room, one duckie at a time. I don't know how many people got one, but I'd bet it's a lot! #Earpfest #WynonnaEarp

Late post from the Dani - Knox panel at #Earpfest #WynonnaEarp

The incomparable @knox-x-x-x.bsky.social, folks.

It took three successive tries before @melaniescrofano.bsky.social determined that the duckies would not, could not, float. #Earpfest

Packed room for the Full Cast Panel at #Earpfest

Had my first Irn Bru. It was the 1901 which I've been told is the original formula. Not as orangey as I would have thought. Just a very light cream soda flavor, not too sweet. Also took a sip of the Unicorn Tears edition from a friend. Peculiar aftertaste. Not for me.

A bit of NYC in Glasgow. Filming of the next Spider-Man movie.

Dear #Earpers: You're welcome. #WynonnaEarp #TimRozon youtu.be/Q0CPZ82HUN0?...

Babu Tamang’s rickshaw comes with an added twist: a dog who delights passengers, with many leaving an extra tip for the hardworking man and some ear scratches for his 8-year-old pup. “Living in this city, away from my family, Shyam has become my closest companion," Tamang says.
