One of many perks to driving a stick shift is that when it’s 1°F out, I can leave my car running with the key in while stopping at the convenience store bc if someone tried to steal it, there’s a pretty good chance they’d just stall out in the parking lot.

It’s just a status symbol and an aggressive road hog telling everyone what a prick he is.

Happy New Bike Day! We both picked up new park bikes for an early holiday gift! Two trips out to Gresham Bicycles on the MAX train was worth it. The kiddo couldn't wait to get out and take advantage this mild dry weather. 60F today! 🌎🔥 After hours skatepark visit. 🤫

Dodge RAM is pushing this all-matte-black beast, with black grille, which is bound to be virtually invisible at night. Its hood is nearly shoulder height. God help anyone on foot who gets in its way.

For six weeks, I had no streetcar service due to track work. That finally resolved two weeks ago. But last weekend, and this weekend, (and maybe weekends to come?) there’s no subway service between my home station and the station by my office, also due to track work. Austerity is evil.

Release The Epstein Files. Also: Maybe Acquire Guillotines Again

This is urgent. Please remove Trump from office. He is totally insane.

So Chairman Meow, who used to be one of the neighbourhood ferals, but lives with us now, has taken to guarding the cat door that lets the ferals into the basement when it's cold. Not sure what to do about that.

Does anyone think it's even remotely possible that Andrew "minivan" Scheer could return as leader of the CPC? The entertainment value would be off the charts.

Gonna make tomato soup from scratch, wish me luck!

So, my week in review. Had to put one of my dogs down, got laid off from work, had an operation to remove a cyst. Not one of my best weeks.

listening to the news this morning a segment began "Hollywood legend Dick van Dyke..." my heart sank "... 's birthday is today, he turned 100" phew

thinking about adopting a lil kitty cat

A bill requiring license, insurance and registration for all e-bike users is racing through lame duck despite heavy pushback and no statewide data about crashes/fatalities. My story on what bike advocates are saying and sole Sen bill sponsor Nick Scutari, who told me he wants an e-bike (!)

Just saying that I think turning into a dog uncontrollably when there's a full moon is kinda peak

Pretty sure I could build scroll marks out of wood to make up for the lack of a way to use a bookmark. So, this is the best idea I've seen so far today.

We should bring back scrolls, books are great but scrolls would be cool

#GVerse #Food4Thought For no reason at all… Nixon didn’t go to prison over Watergate, but 48 others were convicted and served time for the scandal - notably, his Attorney General. Attention: Pam Bondi meet John Mitchell.

Yeah, Dick Van Dyke's British accent was 'orrible, but who the fuck cares? He was always brilliant and entertaining, and children probably don't notice. Certainly not American kids. 100 years and no scandal, just the trials and tribulations that anyone faces. A good man all the way. Bless him.

U.S. pals: Do. Not. Donate. To. Salvation. Army. There are better charities out there. Much better.

SO TRUE 👇👇

Ah, I have a cat attached to me. Good thing because its fucking cold outside. I declare to day a chair day. Morning Loudness: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa-N...

Hey folks! Won’t be streaming this week, got an exam tomorrow morning so have been busy studying for that. As a peace offering, here is a picture of long cat

Okay, so I had this cyst on my back. Today they sawed it off. Got to the hospital at 11:00, sat around for about three hours, got onto a stretcher thing, wheeled to an operating room, and drugged into a pleasant nap.

Free of the hospital.

Been sitting here for 3 hours now. Ready to grab a scalpel and a mirror and do the damned operation myself.

In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.

Sittong at the St Bonface hospital. Not sure qhy they want you here 2 hours early.

pastrami fries, bitch

Okay, and on a lighter note, since I saw this coming, I put $50 of diesel in the Kenworth today...exactly enough to get me back to the barn and, in case I was wrong about the layoff, to the nearest gas station. Whoever moves it is going to be sad.

Just in case it wasn't clear from my post about this time yesterday, I got laid off today. I knew it was coming, should have happened last Friday, but my boss was off until today, so there was nobody to tell us.

Had a meeting with the people who are trying too destroy my neighbourhood again last night. They are scum, dirty bastards. Russ Wyatt, who is supposed to represent us, his constituents, lives in their pocket. Morning Loudness: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H7K...

Just to be clear, don't buy Versatile tractors, don't buy Farm King implements. This foreign-owned company treats Canadian workers like shit. Let the company die.

Standing with members of @sbworkersunited.org in Chicago today, demanding fair pay and dignity on the job. This holiday season, choose solidarity. Don’t cross the picket line.

SMITE!!!!

Can't wait for all of those Mark Carney fan bois to explain why this is a good thing.

a fun thing to do is to name your dog your neighbors kids name so you’ll be yelling shit like “HAYDEN!! YOU BITCH! ” when he’s outside barking

I would suggest Elon Musk is dismissed from the Royal Society due to his outrageous racial views

Hi, over here in Britain, we’re waiting for the release of the Epstein Files. 👀

Waiting for a load. Did you know other people get lunch breaks

"Pierre Poilievre showed what he did feel about First Nations people by saying that they need to learn the value of hard work, and he continues to show his disrespect to aboriginal people by calling them “our First Nations” today in this house. Well, I don’t belong to anybody, Mr. Speaker.” #cdnpoli
