Home with a few extra holes and paperwork. Holiday starts now....

The thing frustratingly not talked often about with AI is what its true costs will be. Companies are operating at such a GARGANTUAN loss right now, that even if they got AI working 100%, the cost to break even could prevent common implementation by a generation or two. It just may not be feasible.

We don't have anything like The Smithsonian in Canada but we've got a guy who collects beaver hats.

For the love of God DO NOT Give pets as Xmas gifts. Too many of these “gifts” end up at the shelter . A Dog/Cat is a gift we give ourselves and they come with many sacrifices. Time,money, and a certain amount of collateral damage in their puppyhood.

I don’t understand why people ask you a question if they don’t want an honest answer. I was asked by someone what I would like for Christmas, but apparently a secluded castle on the Scottish coast “isn’t realistic.”

Canada just updated its list of designated terrorist groups to include three ideologically motivated violent extremist groups — ones that are pretty darkly disturbing. The newly listed groups include 764, Maniac Murder Cult and the Terrorgram Collective. Here's what you need to know:

Nothing like a trip to the ER to humble you. Chest pain and breathing after perfume exposure. Fuck

In the first few days I just saw with her and watched her sleep for 23.5 hours a day. Look at her today. My heart could explode with happiness for her ❤️

A lot has changed since I wrote this joke.

Hold up. Waaaay too sober to deal with this bullshit right now.

I only follow people who want to bang me.

I think it might be nice for me to have a hand grenade.

The "best" version of yourself isn't the version that is perfect or cool or hot or whatever. It's the version of yourself that is real & self-compassionate & self-forgiving & open to evolution-- you know, that version of you your abusers & bullies tried to permanently erase.

Anyone here good with Reddit? I need a burner account to ask a few sensitive questions … but the last time I tried to set one up I immediately got shadowbanned. I guess I jumped in and started posting too quickly and the system decided I was a bot. Do I have to linger first? Upvote a bit?

Something many trauma survivors have in common is the fact we've spent decades "stuffing" what we really want to say, for fear of punishment-- & now we have zero tolerance for people or relationships in which we're expected to hide or mute our authenticity. It's beautiful.

Maybe it makes perfect sense that you'd be irritable & exhausted after carrying what you've been carrying for as long as you've been carrying it. Maybe that's not a "mood disorder"-- maybe that's the normal human response to long term complex traumatic stress, not "pathology."

You shouldn't have had to be funny or cute or entertaining to get the attention & acceptance you needed growing up. You shouldn't have to "perform" normalcy or anything else to get be "worthy" of support & understanding now.

Remember that trauma responses represent your wounds, not your character. The real "you" is in how you understand your reactions, how you respond to them, how you soothe & course correct w/ compassion, intelligence, & skill-- how you leverage your ACTUAL choices.

Hot Pockets Toaster Breaks Pizza (1998-circa 2000): A line of rectangular, crispy golden pastry pockets, filled with tomato sauce and cheese, with optional pepperoni, made to be cooked in a toaster. Probably most memorable for the commercial in which a mom stuffed an entire pizza pie into a toaster

We never grow out of needing a safe space. It might sound silly to some people, but responding to life w/ power & purpose ONLY happens when we've intentionally created safety inside our head & heart-- which, make no mistake, is an every day challenge & project in trauma recovery.

Immigrants are having their naturalization ceremonies cancelled because of the new Trump travel ban. They’ve learned the laws, the history and the language. They’ve spent tons of money and years of their lives going through the process and it’s being ripped away. Have a million bucks? You’re in.

Propagandist Charlie Kirk’s wife Erika is a deranged lying grifter just like her spouse and their marriage was a dark money business transaction, nothing more nor less.

Life would be a lot easier if people stopped doing things that bothered me.

When audiences decided the opinion of a critic they read regularly was not as valuable as the thumbs up and thumbs down of 150 random critics, many of whom were only published on their own personal websites. The volume of opinions dwarfed educated ones. That was the first big crack.
