I just backed A1 DEADLINE SPECIAL on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/dee...

Picked this up after the Book Banning and Censorship event at the Writers Fest today. Hadn’t heard of it before Alberta decided to ban it and three other graphic novels from schools earlier this year. Thanks Alberta!!

The summer reading stack. Not a damn thing that’s work related this year.

This arrived in today’s mail.

Yesterday’s mail pick up!

The mall attached to Caesars Palace is deader than Metrotown on a typical weekday.

Final report cards were due Friday morning. Thursday afternoon we were told to personally email parents of any failing Grade 12s because notifications on interim report cards aren’t enough anymore and we have to give them a chance to complete work they’ve ignored all semester.

Opportunity for artists:

Calgary, what’s the deal with all the random pieces of clothing on your sidewalks?

Of course the comic con I need multiple guest hotel rooms for is the same weekend as an International AA convention in Vancouver.

Red state alcohol is currently being removed at B.C. Liquor store in Victoria. #bcpoli

Last day of the school semester was Friday. (Day ends at 3:06PM.) Report cards were due Friday at 9:00AM.

My copy of the DC Style Guide reprint arrived, so the day’s not total shite.

George Metzger’s son has set up a GoFundMe to help with costs associated with moving George to a care home. Any donations/spreading the word/letters to George are appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/help-georg...

So either someone took the name plate over my door as a souvenir, or this is a message that I’m out of here.

Is there a trick to getting free ChatGPT to not speed scroll through what it writes in response to an essay prompt I think a student used?
