I would feel bad about the wildfire smoke travelling south if it weren't for the ongoing dumpster fire smoke from there circumnavigating the globe.

Considering turning on the space heater under my desk.

Boom

Completely aside, apparently Google isn't liable for search instances; however, recently a German court said Google is directly liable for what its AI search overviews say.

The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

New person sees @thewaroncars.bsky.social sticker on my office door. Cue genuine confusion,"But ... you drive."

Why couldn’t they both lose.

Can Brian please just fuck off to Kelowna now?

Very clever new person comparing me to Eeyore. Very clever and unique critique.

I am still hungry tho

Finally some good news.

I hated Kane since before the golf.

Doing very little to dispel the soccer is boring AF

Imagine the kind of city we could have if the VPD wasn't defunding Vancouver half a billion dollars per year.

On our second last night in Oslo, SC and I went to this iconic hot dog vendor and then walked a portion of the Akerselva past the School of Architecture.

What’s the Flemish for schadenfreude.

People in 2026 discovering that FIFA and USA are corrupt like come on guys.

It was a good run.

After a couple years running tubeless without any issues, this season has been a tubeless nightmare such that I’m considering going TPU tubes on my Zipp 303 wheels. Feels wrong but I’m so frustrated #bikechat

Got pulled over in Port Moody this morning. Cop claimed it was bc car is registered to a woman. Except I’m the principal operator and SC was in the passenger seat, so I assume the cop was just being a dick.

Today's mind rabbit hole is remembering my parents gifting me my first Walkman in ~1989 and making me pledge an oath to never play non-Christian music in it.

I recently reached the age where you start really fretting about retirement but I’ve very recently started trying to figure out how to do it in the next four years.

Colleague on mat leave came to talk RTW date and then tried to tell me kids are great and I should have one so I let her know that neither of us is going to live to old age, let alone her kid. And yet I still recycle for some reason.

Ten years ago I ran the Vancouver Half Marathon. It was my second HM and I really wanted to finish under 1:45. The pacer passed me, and I finished 1:46. Now 37 half marathons later, I am the 1:45 pacer for the Vancouver Half Marathon on Sunday.

I would also like a bailout, please.

Cops do not GAF

Why even have a roof that opens then.

The AGM is tonight and honestly if I'm not re-elected I will be relieved.

Me, replying to folksy marketing emails, "Cool story your dad is tough to buy Father's Day gifts for. Mine died in 2005. Have you tried a tie or socks?"

I hope Abby Boreen was in on this scheme the whole time otherwise what a roller coaster.

Also fuck that guy.

Somebody good with money? In this economy!? Come work with (for?) me. ca.indeed.com/job/administ...

An email from Duolingo offering to “revive” my 1,460 day streak if I just do three lessons. That’s not how streaks work. All your Duolingo streaks are a lie.

Ivory Coast today

I thought baseball was boring but yeesh. No wonder this only happens once every four years.

Today I discovered that my bottom bracket socket that I was sure I would never ever use again is the same size as my centre-lock rotor lock rings. If you have any experience with home bike maintenance you’ll understand how absolutely absurd this happy coincidence is. #bikechat

I feel ill. People have no fucking concept of a trillion. Anyone celebrating this is an idiot.

Did someone say guillotrillionaire

What's worse than having to provide a reference for your favourite colleague.

Was listening to CBC OTC talk about a study that found a correlation between smartphones and lowering birth rates and they blamed disconnection, but maybe people used their device and learned we’re doomed and also how not to get pregnant.

Gold is really taking a beating, hey. I should really stop looking at my WS app until after the midterms.

Maybe the BC Greens can change their name to the BC Liberals since party names in this province are meaningless anyway.

Sometimes Vancouver is a real drag.

The problem is that letting them keep Canadian citizenship sounds like a so very Canadian thing we would do. We'd probably apologize for it, too.

Today the HR director (he hates being called that) regaled me with his new plan, which is identical to the plan I pitched to him and his boss six months ago.

In the rare moment I care about Alberta I hate Alberta so much that I want them to stay in Canada and just continue to sulk like little children. I think it might be because if you drive a truck you're a giant loser.

Most of the Goldeneyes’ first season I felt like I was watching a group of extremely talented individuals. I cannot say that I am upset about the email I just received. Optimistic, actually.

I have two new people starting their run coaching with me today. One is just getting started. One wants to level up. I am looking forward to helping both. And you, too. resiliencerunco.ca

Image the exploding heads if David Eby said, "It's not Alberta's oil, it's *our* oil" like Danielle Smith talks about BC's coastline.

I think that for seven of the past ten years @stepc.bsky.social and I have been travelling somewhere life altering at this time of year so lately the nostalgia has been rather thick.
