The Archive is a #wip short story set in a dystopian future about a search for pre-fall technology rumoured to be stashed in a nearby woods. #wipsnips #Forest #writesky

I went grocery shopping on the weekend. I walked down the freezer aisle, past the ice cream and did not put any of it in the cart. Please clap.

🎶 I wish I was in Tijuana Eating barbecued iguana 🎵

I seem to have a nest of rabbits living under my back deck, sooo… I’m apparently a #zoo now. $25 admission to see the #bunnies. Line forms to the left.

Amen. Some letters to the editor of the Edmonton Journal. “If a separatist group wants to fight this in court, they can pay for their own appeal…” #DanielleSmithIsATraitor #AlbertaSeparation #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

May long weekend mood. #BruceCockburn #musicsky

More short fiction. The Ferryman has his first encounter with an influencer and doesn’t quite know how to deal with it. #wipsnips #hoarse #mythology #wip #writesky

Jackasses gonna jackass.

From my still untitled #Sci-fi #wip Martian mystery. Commander Jensen is feeling boxed in following the accident that killed 2 colonists, so she turns to a corporate employee for help with her investigation. #wipsnips #writesky #title

Ooh, I used #caffeine just last week in a throwaway bit of #flashFiction I call “Brought To You By…” #wipsnips #writesky #wip

Yes, Streets of Fire is corny and wildly over the top. It also absolutely struck a chord with a certain cohort of 1980s kids. And Jim Steinman’s “Tonight Is What It Means to Be Young” still slaps. With Michael Paré, Diane Lane, Amy Madigan, Rick Moranis & Willem Dafoe.

Census complete. 🇨🇦

The algorithms only keep feeding us Stephen A. Smith content because someone, somewhere, must be clicking on it. If it’s you, please stop. I’d be *so* grateful.

This is why I can’t play pro. Whenever I hit somebody off the tee it always bounces into the woods.

I thought #Futurama was supposed to be fiction. #Robotology

#Hathaway getting mugged in front of the net. Ref must have lost his whistle. #Flyers

Ran into someone I used to play in a band with a few years ago. She was keen to tell me what she’d been doing music-wise lately. Took out her phone and played a song, asked me what I thought. Song was boring but I was diplomatic. Turns out she’s using Suno to write her songs for her now.

Oof. Buffalo D looks like me out there, corkscrewing himself into the ice.

Give me your favorite non-Trek performance from a Star Trek actor:

I’m going out to buy some ketchup flavour chips. Because I’m Canadian, so I can do that. 🇨🇦

The mere thought of going back to work in IT is enough to get my blood pressure elevated. (Thanks, toxic work environments!) However there’s a chain book store not *too* far away that’s hiring. The thought of applying there doesn’t fill me with dread, so… 🤔 #booksky

The average American has three friends.

Oh, this will end well. 🙄

C’mon #Gritty. Get your skates on, grab a stick and get out there.

Ugh. Why is Risto on the power play?

Heh. I didn’t see the bench minor coming. Wonder what he said?

Bad hit Hall. No way that should be 2 minutes.

The boys got some jump tonight.

I love TK but that guy looks absolutely snakebit on breakaways

The Philly #Flyers were my favourite team growing up, but I rarely got to see them play, what with living in a Canadian city with its own NHL team. So I’m kinda liking that I get to watch them onTV this round but, guys… can you maybe win one? That’d be awesome.

A box from the back of a random closet I’m cleaning out today contained a VHS tape of our wedding and reception. It probably hasn’t seen the light of day in at least 25 years. Anybody have a VHS player I can borrow?

I just realized I burned out as a software developer at the same time I burned out getting nowhere with my music. This may explain some things.

C’mon #Flyers. There were still 50 minutes to play after that 2nd goal. Get going

She should. She won't. She knows the separatists would turf her as leader. She'll go along with it, regardless of the damage it'll do to our province, in order to remain in power. She cares more about herself, than she does about Alberta and the people in it. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

What a shitshow. I can’t wait to put this shithole province in my rear-view mirror.

COL 4 MIN 2 Holy cow… what a pass on that Blankenberg goal!

Just got here after the hockey game & saw Giuliani is in hospital, so I just want to take this opportunity to say… Go Habs, Go!

Congratulations! You’ve been selected by the BSky algorithm (such as it is) to see my 1000th skeet. Your prize: this skeet. We now return you to your regularly scheduled doomscrolling.

The only ‘brass’ I have so far is from my half-finished sci-fi novel ‘Beyond Horizon.’ The colony brain trust on Mars has just been informed of an accident at the mine and Commander Jensen is starting to suspect her corporate counterpart is playing a different game. #wipsnips #brass #writesky

If you didn’t know, texts from Voter Research Services are likely to be scams. Block & report.

I went out to find my bins after yesterday’s weather and ran into my neighbour walking her dog. Chatted, played with the dog, briefly thought maybe I’m not allergic anymore. I am still allergic.

That was awesome, #YouTube. Right in the middle of a Dire Straits guitar solo is exactly where an ad break belongs. #idiots

Well, I did it. Registered for my first road race since… (checking…) 2017? It’s only 5k, but… baby steps. If all goes well I’ll look for a 10k in the fall.

For crying out loud, STOP SNOWING! #winter
