Stole some time and went for a little walk around the neighbourhood

On Thursdays we pray to St. Viateur, the patron saint of bagels

The Sprawl has the best coverage of Calgary municipal politics and is celebrating it's 8th Birthday today. Go read up on your local ward election races to inform yourself. And if you can, sign up as a member. We've never needed independent journalism more than we do now.

Huh, so exactly zero of the city council candidates from my ward are on bluesky, but a bunch of them are still on twitter and pretty much everyone uses facebook/instagram. Not sure what that means exactly, other than maybe none of them want to talk to me

Sunday Funday

Impeccable comedic timing by the shooter, FBI should be looking at improv and comedy sketch writing classes

I just hope his name is Luigi

Is gin and orange fanta something that works? I'm low on spirits and mix and motivation

bandcamp friday send me your recommendations please so I can buy some music

*cracks knuckles* okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public? now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.

Making oatmeal for breakfast and the boy put the Oliver! soundtrack on the turntable. Is this "shade"? I thought he liked oatmeal

Taking The Sprawl's pop-up press to the Bridgeland farmers market this aft. There 3:30pm - 5:30ish. Stop by to say hi, make a print and snag @calgaryhester.bsky.social's new zine, hot off the press. She sent it to me this aft and I'll have copies up for grabs!

Why is it always the guy at work who can barely use a computer who thinks that AI will solve everything

This is a new level of weird chip flavour for me

Hi Bluesky how's it going? I'm sorry I've been busy but my latest dumb hobby is scanning my old negatives so here's a photo of Italy in 1998

Looking forward to bandcamp friday. Send me your recommendations, it's been a long wait

Have you ever wondered how many people out there aren't actually fans of whatever pop star(s) but are actually Max Martin fans

I prefer to call these Mussolini buns

At this rate I may never buy another US made product again

Saw a couple guys in cowboy hats walking down the street. Seems the Calgary annual rural cosplay convention has started early

Huh, who knew that Don Cherry was still alive?

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

The bartender here at the legion wore her sheepdogs shirt to work the sled show

The first drops were falling just as I pulled in. I don't think I'm overstating here: I have conquered nature

I'm tapping out early. Excuses: 1) i have to ride my bike home in the rain 2) i have to do all the jobs tomorrow

Partying for a week is so exhausting

I'm calling it a night

You know what sled is missing? Bong Sword

It's begun

The Oilers heading home the same way they arrived

Kind of perfect that Sled is starting on the same night as the last game of the hockey playoffs

4 more sleeps until Sled sledisland.com

Are the oilers losing today

All my windows are nice and clean so now I have a perfect view of the wildfire smoke

Forecast for 29C this week and it's not even June. It seems like it's getting warmer earlier every year

Pretty excited to only be one series away from not having to hear about hockey for a few months

Found a second brand of powdered dishwasher detergent (instead of "great value") in a local Canadian grocery store and "glee" is my emotional state @techconnectify.bsky.social

I wish my life was this fun

Should I open a bottle of very old cognac this weekend

Fucking Pete Rose

I can report from official sources that cognac hangovers are the worst of the hangovers
