Spoke too soon. u of T hit too.

I seem to follow far too many American academics.

Have to admit that I am enjoying my new job. The way it should be!

Woot! Last day at old job. Next week is the beginning of a new adventure!

A little late but April Fools???

Uh-oh. Kid is going to Europe in a few weeks. Will she be able to return???

Ooh.

Also, I can’t believe I hardly have anything to post about but Blue Jays. Very odd way to lurk.

Now that I know the names of most of the Blue Jays players and hearing about all the injuries, I might have turned into a fan. But I don’t have the wherewithal to be so invested for a whole season! Damnit, I’m supposed to be a bandwagon fan!

Florida’s attorney general said on Thursday that he had opened an investigation into ChatGPT and its parent company, OpenAI, in part because the man accused of killing two people at Florida State University last year had consulted with the chatbot leading up to the shooting.

Thank you so much for this gorgeous review of Outcaste!

Love that movie.

Also, PSA for Toronto/GTA people who go into the Rouge: always, always, strip, inspect, & shower when you get home. I volunteer as a hike leader for Parks Canada: I’m always telling people there are black-legged deer tick carrying the Lyme disease vector & few listen. This dude came home with me.

Worth noting.

What pipelines are being built in Ontario? That annoying ad says so.

Did he say “Arabian aggression”??

Why is he so repetitive??

Why is he blaming the attack on the USS Cole on Iran?

Whoa!

I want to show my students some examples of advocacy orgs in Toronto (or other Cdn cities) that have affected change / made a difference in the city. Somewhat measurably. Like Cycle Toronto & the bike lane injunction. Ideas? I've got some examples but want to cast a bit wider. Thx!

Remember seeing Stephen Lewis in university and how dumbfounded I was by how articulate he was. Even remember where I saw him. (Also saw Rene Lévesque speak another time).

My parents had part of their honeymoon there.

The stress of the World Series is still inside me. I am not ready for today. We must delay it.

Damn it. I think I am getting a frozen shoulder. Again. It’s been years, but still. And this lasts months! Arghhhhh

Wonder if the US is going to complain about this.

First heard these guys in 1992. Finally saw them tonight at the Musical Hall.

Spring clean your algorithm with this video of Crawford Lake! Enjoy a look at the beautiful animals you can find around Conservation Halton. You can watch the full video in ROM’s exhibition “Crawford Lake: Layers in Time,” which offers an engaging look at the record of human life on Earth.

Florida's not just wrong on this score, he's totally disingenuous. He's read all the same literature I have regarding the importance of large, centralized hubs versus a constellation of smaller airports. I know because he told me himself when he agreed to *blurb my book.*

In honour of the Oscars, I went to a movie theatre yesterday. However, I didn’t see any Oscar nominee. Supported Canadian and finally listened to @hertzbarry.bsky.social and saw Nirvanna the Band, the Show, the Movie. Quite fun!

Hey, how’s the Board of Peace doing these days?

Pretty sure I heard this on CBC Radio.

See!

Wait! Isn’t he the one who keeps saying that American “excursions“ have been intensifying earlier this week. Up is down and down is up.

So I guess this is war.

So I guess the way Hegseth talks is a bit like it must have been like for part of the US war on Vietnam.

800 000 is all of the the old city of Toronto driven from their homes. (Blue on map)

Oh no. Is Trump going to say he still deserves the Nobel Peace Prize when he decides to end this war?

Let me try this again. Danielle Steele is not the Premier of Alberta.

Note to self: Danielle Steele is not Danielle Smith. #old

Ooh. Seeing this tonight!

Ooh. Yay. It’s squash the breasts day.

I’m out.

He announced that he enunciated a policy. Sheesh.
