It’s your last day to get a slice of the $500-million bread price-fixing settlement - Today is the last day to get a slice of the $500-million settlement in the class-action suit related to Loblaw Cos. Ltd. and its parent company George Weston Ltd., of alleged industry-wide price fixing of bread.

Because I am very hip and current, I'd like to run with yesterday's Game Awards vibe and recommend the soundtrack for Astro Bot from 2024 as your Friday listening. Follow me for more cutting-edge, extremely timely observations

The 511 flying down Bathurst today with the new dedicated lanes (hi @chrisgloverndp.bsky.social!) I used to be able to physically outrun the streetcar on this stretch, and now it takes me just 15min to get to a doctor appt at Toronto Western by streetcar 🥹

Me: [took three consecutive naps on the couch, hunched over my Switch all afternoon, sat like a seized-up shrimp in a movie theatre seat for 2hrs] Also me: "why does my back hurt"

There's been an addition to the cheese wall

Guess what - double Big Boy time (artwork by Arthur Adams)

Just a good movie. In case anyone's curious

Excited to find out when the city will be scheduling an enforcement blitz for this, like they just did for people riding their bikes on the sidewalk trying not to get killed by drivers! *touches earpiece* Uh-oh

Introduce yourself with 4 spaceships

Possibly the first protest of its kind at City Hall this morning. A diaper change-in protesting budget cuts and fee increases to amenities for new parents, and many others. @womentcities.bsky.social

It's Big Boy time again

I bought the Diablo 2 remaster bc it was on sale and now my husband is answering 40 questions an hour that are all like "what is a slot"

Superseded about an hour by the appearance of Peter Thiel! That movie is just one jumpscare after another

Dreamed that I was temporarily principal viola in the Chicago Symphony. I don't play viola or live in Chicago, but they gave me a bucket of popcorn to celebrate my first concert so maybe I'll do their next audition

Big boy time

There's a scene in a Quebec office with a shot/reverse shot that had my husband and I cackling out loud in the theatre. IYKYK

Covid and flu shot day! Baking little mini quiches for lunch and then settling in to revamp my Animal Crossing island. RELAXMAXXING

"If you bought packaged bread from one of Canada's major grocery stores between 2001 and 2021 — and the odds are that many Canadians did — then you're eligible to apply for a slice of the settlement .... Claimants have until Dec. 12 to apply." www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Nothing like realizing almost all of your holiday-card info is out of date to make you realize what a ridiculously chaotic year it's been 🙃 Almost everyone I know moved, died, broke up, had babies, got married, etc etc

Dawg we live in a fake country look at this shit

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

Rohit Gupta, the TDSB supervisor, will earn $350,000 a year +$20,000 in expenses to get the board “back on track” despite an auditor finding no evidence of financial mismanagement. [email protected] [email protected] A former Metrolinx advisor getting things back on track is just perfect.

This is an absolutely bananas read. Such a perfect example of the "this makes logical sense so it must be right" approach being completely wrong because nobody checked the actual science. And ironically this is exactly the way LLMs function - the definition of a poor reader 🙃

Day off, made a bagel run this morning, went to IKEA to buy like 6 quality-of-life doodads, dropped cookies off at my sister's, currently day drinking, about to watch My Cousin Vinny, some Mondays are good

Can't recommend this enough if you just want to feel like you can *make a difference*

There's also a quick contact-your-rep campaign going here - sign to tell your reps that Ford has to be kept out of cities' decisions: www.horizonottawa.ca/back_off_ford
