I kinda don't mind this, because the 3D glasses made it really hard to enjoy a lot of the scenes. It will take away some of the experience, while improving other parts. #wdw #waltdisneyworld #disneyworld wdwnt.com/2025/10/remy...

Ooh, I get to participate in my first ever earthquake drill tomorrow at 10:16am!

This is what happens when your country is run by incompetent knuckleheads.

MrBeast, the world’s most subscribed to YouTuber, and East Carolina University announced a credentialing program back in 2022. It was supposed to debut in 6-12 months, but nearly 3 years later there’s no sign of it. What happened? I tried to find out: www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Vancouver's queer community has definitely made me feel more attractive, more included, and more seen. It's refreshing to get compliments from other dudes, to have crowded queer spaces, and make new friends. 🌞

In Alberta the only acceptable pronouns are (oil/gas).

"This is the 99th final boarding call for flight 123 to Cancun." So just leave. The other 100 souls on board deserve to start their vacation on time.

Grandmother in art museum: Gently explaining the art to her very engaged and curious grandchild. Dad, shrieking: CAN WE GO, WE'VE SPENT TEN MINUTES HERE!!! Grandmother: Grandchild is curious, he's enjoying it. Just relax. Grumpy dad: WELL JUST HURRY UP. Awesome parenting, dad, awesome parenting.

Concept for a filmed, mixed media art piece: inattentive gallery visitor, mindlessly taking selfies while backing into and toppling/crushing priceless pieces of art. The subject is in a constant state of utter unawareness of anything but themself and their phone. Title: Absorption.

“Guests of The Oprah Winfrey Show stay at the…” If you're of a certain age, you already read this in the exact voice and cadence, and already know how it finishes.

My walking speed even when I'm trying to mozy at normal speed.

Remember when Trident gum tried to convince 90s kids & parents their gum was equivalent to toothbrushing?

Can you tell what day we had to turn on the heat?

Apparently Ambassador AmeriKaren doesn't understand that WHEN YOUR TOURISM IS TANKING, THREATENING THE REMAINING TOURISTS MORE IS A BAD IDEA. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

No, husband, we can't have a Maple The Moose plushie. 🤫

This week, almost $200 million more in losses reported by #CdnPSE - particularly by some small Ontario colleges who can least afford it! Challenging times everywhere... #ONpoli #ONpse - see circles.eduvation.ca/posts/budget... for details.

Former Vancouver mayor seeks end to at-large municipal voting system

I think I agree with all of this — I don't need 2-day letter delivery, I don't need mail dropped off daily, and cartoonishly redundant post offices (<0.5km apart) can be closed. I love the mail, mailing cards, mailing letters. CPC is worth saving, if we'll let it adapt. share.google/aOFr2sfBPbYb...

An important business rule is: to win customers back after they've quit your platform en masse, is to increase prices. 🤔

Hear hear! Give me 26-episode seasons with obvious filler episodes and actors chewing scenery. #StarTrek trekmovie.com/2025/09/22/b...

I did some nerdy & quick paper diving tonight. Uncovered a lot of research linking liberal-leaning worldviews to greater educational attainment¹, higher intellectual aptitude², and both factors³. Only correlations of 📈 these with conservative views were specific to economic conservativism⁴.

Having younger friends is so frustrating. They're all like "ooh, my skin still makes collagen."

Me: Starts a video with a topic I'm interested in. Video: 𝙰𝙸 𝚟𝚘𝚒𝚌𝚎 𝚗𝚊𝚛𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 Me: Stop nope nope nope k bye

Lady in front of me is paying with a long series of visa gift cards for aesthetics treatment, all of them needing to be manually keyed-in. By all means, take that 15 minutes. Nobody else is waiting.

Listening to scientist on Quirks & Quarks discussing euthanizing mice for research, I expect cancer research, Alzheimer’s, a cure. Nope. They wanted to see if mice 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗹𝗲. Mice died not for science or science fiction, but for science disco. Fwiw, alive mice sparkle; dead mice no sparkle.

I was watching an *old* episode of Family Feud, and one player was in a wheelchair. The show had built a dais for the person, dressed it in the same carpet as the stage, and made sure she was at the right height for the camera. It was such a classy way to include someone equally.

IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVE: What I have not seen anyone discussing is that Nexstar pulling Kimmel, forcing ABC’s hand, comes as Nexstar is leading the way for the industry on trying to get FCC approval for media consolidation. www.poynter.org/business-wor...

Uh-Oh, the neighbor lady who used to have two adorable dogs, one very elderly and one young, now only has the young dog. Now. I don't want to ask, I don't want to know, but I'm already sad for her.

If we don't teach students to understand it and use it, it's going to use and dominate them. 👍🏻

It's fascinating how insurance companies work to wear you down so they don't have to pay out the claim. Me: Uploaded all warranty docs + repair quotes. Them: You're missing warranty docs. Me: Uploads same warranty doc again. Them: Ok. Now Upload repair quotes. Me: Uploads same thing again.

I just realized all I had for "dinner" last night at the BC Lions game was mini-doughnuts and two overpriced beer. Well done, kudos me. 😅

I secretly want to own a giant enough company that one day I can buy the naming rights to a major sports venue but also be completely ridiculous about it…

If I'm walking in the furthest third ➡️ of the sidewalk and someone's intent on multiple-abreast or face-buried-in-phone walking into me, I will ruthlessly walk into them full speed, full weight.

Dear lady carrying her bike down the stairs faster than most slowpokes waddle down the stairs: I see you. You're awesome and I appreciate you.

Why was a Vancouver parks commission decision to host an event made in camera (off the record)? Specifically this problematic Harry Potter event? globalnews.ca/news/1140585...

Me when a local vendor is trying to call me during the lunch hour, 12pm-1pm.

Folks sometimes give me dirty looks for dragging my dog on our walks. Honey, if I didn't pull her away from things, she'd s̲̲t̲i̲l̲l̲ be sniffing the very first tree she saw from our very first walk in January 2023. She's very sweet, but her brain isn't good.

I think I need to sign-off more letters and cards to people like this. (This one is going to my friend in England.)

The word 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 is a fascinating example of how language evolves. It used to mean, "to remove impurities," and now it means

What's a telltale sign that the HR person who developed performance appraisal paperwork has never had to give a performance appraisal?

I don't deadname. Unless it's the front half of EPCOT. That place will always be Future World to me.

Two weeks ago, the warranty on my HP laptop expires. A week ago, the network adapter started acting funny. Planned obsolescence? You tell me. Lesson learned, after having a series of *bulletproof* Dell laptops between work and home, I won't be entrusting HP again.

Anyone remember the debates a decade ago when countries like the US and Canada said they didn’t feel the need to address CO2 emissions because countries like China weren’t, and how it felt like a hollow excuse? Now China is a global leader in the effort & the US and Canada are still doing fuck all

This month, I added 635 jobs to my tally of jobs eliminated in #CdnPSE - bringing the total to 10,963. The worst-hit are Ontario colleges and Quebec anglophone universities. And I'll be adding more today, alas. See the latest in real time at circles.eduvation.ca/posts/job-im...

The narrator ("little sister") in Reba's "The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia" had *ample* time to confess her murders, but pretends there wasn't. But that missing fact makes for a more interesting song. youtu.be/Z4GMUlCBgd0?...
