Star Grill was a hole in the wall on Portage Ave. The food was decent, the desserts nice, the walls covered with pictures of constellations. There was a picture of our favourite Saskatoon band by the washrooms. You could arrange to have tarot readings. When we went, it was always winter.

close enough

oh it's going to be a Recession recession

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead. It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut. No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

There was a prof in my CS department who was part of a group that used a text-based transformation language to identify and fix date issues on legacy COBOL codebases. They worked with massive clients like IBM, and charged 25c/line of code. It's hard to stress how much COBOL there was at the time.

we live in a sick society that thinks preventing problems is a waste of time and effort and hey, guess why everything sucks now

to young people: you may at some point have heard about the Y2K problem. some people may have told you it wasn't a big deal i need you to understand the only reason it wasn't a big deal was that everyone spent loads of time fixing code before it could become a problem, which is why it never did

Shovelling for like the 6th time in the last 48 hours, this should be illegal

"People perceived to be vulnerable are frequently targeted in instances of exploitation, harassment, theft and violence during experiences of homelessness. Studies have documented the pervasive victimization of older adults, women and other marginalized populations in shelter environments."

And the giant inflatable groundhog is BACK! #KeepGroundhogInGroundhogDay

This is a great teaching example for why cross-national comparison matters in social science. People also make “bad choices” in peer countries, but they’re far less likely to end up homeless.

Post or gimme a link to one of your poems or stories please!!!

I say this all the time, but Wally is the most ridiculously photogenic dog.

I think the thing that makes me maddest is that we are all aging while this happens. We’ve been aging since the “war on terror” started in 2001. And we could have grown old under such different circumstances.

"Instead of distributing power through the grid — the network that delivers electricity from power plants to homes and businesses —Valar plans to directly supply power to customers that need a lot of it, like data centers..." lmao ok

How to melt a marshmallow bunny: Head-pets

MLB Shop is blowing out Bichette jerseys, and he's C's favourite player, so we sadly got her her first Jays jersey, in white.

A new video clip from our GENESIS concert is here! Enjoy this wonderful medley showcasing Kirby's favourite frenemies King Dedede and Meta Knight! We have plans in the works for some exciting new concerts for the 2026 year, so please follow this page to be up to date!

Bo signing elsewhere felt like an inevitability after the Jays very clearly were favouring Tucker, and honestly, 3/126 is a life changing contract, it'll support his family for generations. I'll miss his shaky defense and seeing him casually walk up to the plate and slam an opposite field double.

hockey girl is right

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Ugh, God, the fucking Dodgers

My cat: [wanders into the kitchen near the time he usually gets fed] Me: And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, My cat: please stop Me: Slouches towards the kitchen to be fed? My cat: I swear to god I just want food. Please.

Evergreen.

Also did this one (these are all a few years old) This was inspired by images of Aryan perfection propaganda from the Second World War. Here I present the blond woman as a sickly monster-like creature.

It’s Legault-ver

A paper I wrote 21 years ago is still occasionally getting cited, absolutely wild.

Gorse and ice in the Shropshire hills yesterday.

Down from 12k emails to 2k, most important attachments saved and uploaded to my drives (family pictures, etc), migrating the rest to my new email, I'm so close

if dopamine didn’t interfere so much with discipline, I would be unstoppable.

Going through 27 years of accumulated emails, deleting everything that's now-unimportant, migrating the rest to my new email. This is a hell of my own making.

I know it’s a long time ago, so I’ll remind you: my chapbook came out yesterday. Several long times ago (last year), I answered some interesting questions from Unsolicited Press, who published my book, “Vessels.” For the next ten days, I’ll be posting my answers one at a time. Here’s the first one.
