I wish they had made a smaller one without the extra cab and a longer bed. I wanted a pickup truck from the 80s with an electric engine, not these behemoths.

Like god damn, I know a lot of busy bodies who seem to think they are EXPERTS on women’s sports when it comes to hating trans people. But none of them actually do anything to encourage women in sport. It’s fine to them that less girls enter sports now in AB, because it punishes a few they hate.

I have a loved one who does things with a sport at a high level, and their sport has never been threatened by trans athletes. But it has been threatened numerous times by the Alberta government refusing to fund facilities and letting them drop below international standards.

Seeing someone I know who seems to be trying to be a Christian influencer going off on how proud they are of Alberta because “men don’t belong in women’s sports” Take off your cross necklace. Jesus didn’t say shit about the sanctity of womens sports, he said to love your neighbour.

Reading the news about Dr. Nuno Loureiro, just to find the BBC published an article that assumes that the plasma studied in the Plasma Science and Fusion Center is… blood plasma. Seriously? That’s his life’s work, and you can’t even review your garbage AI article about his death to get it right?

This entire weekend

"Bluesky is an echo chamber." "Bluesky doesn't have enough reach" "Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right" I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

I can’t take Dominic Cooper seriously as a villain, this guy was in Mamma Mia. They have him staring at the camera and it’s supposed to be sexy and dangerous, but all I can think of is the Lay All Your Love On Me dock dance.

The Last Frontier needs more tundra, and WAY less talking. This show would benefit from cutting the entire CIA plot. I don’t care about Havlock or any implications of that, I want each episode to just follow one group of convicts in the manhunt.

There was a reel about 5 shoes that elegant ladies never wear, and number 2 was a pair of Birkenstocks??? Do you think elegant women wear satiny slippers or bare feet around the house?? The Birkenstock is a noble shoe that does not deserve this kind of snub. It’s hardworking, but refined!

I ordered a Christmas sweater print cowboy shirt 49 weeks ago and it’s finally about to pay off! I’m getting better at committing to the bit for long payoff. I bought my brother a book where a main character has his name 2 years ago, and I’m still waiting for him to read it.

The nurse cat spent all day with me for healing purposes. She only left briefly to pee on the carpet when she knew my fiancé could see her but couldn’t yell at her because he was on a call.

Day 2 of being sick: it’s worse. I feel like the world’s most awful rotisserie chicken, just spinning in my bed trying to find a less painful position.

Halfway through the day, I thought I felt better and was wondering if maybe I should have just gone to work. But then the Tylenol wore off. Nope. Definitely still sick. Tylenol is a miracle.

How many pieces came out in the New York Times and the Atlantic accusing trans people of erasing the word woman. Here's the Trump administration literally banning the use of the word and not a peep.

Sick day. I feel so bad that I don’t even want to play Stardew Valley. Time to pass out and hang out with Nurse Molly.

I found pseudoephedrine tablets without getting them OTC. I gonna enjoy getting SO decongested.

I’m so excited to watch the Globes this year, Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell both nominated? Amazing.

“I brought this horrid creature into the world, and now I must take him out!” Winfrey said

IM BIGGER THAN SOME MEN IF YOU UNDERSERVE ME I WILL KICK YOUR ASS AND THEN CRY ABOUT HAVING TO BE VIOLENT

Hello, we visited a Christmas card this weekend. No jinglehorses, but we did cross paths with a couple of birds and a few dog sled teams.

Initially when you hear of the Grossglockner manslaughter charges, you think “well, sometimes you can’t rescue everyone in an emergency”. But then you read the details, and god damn. That man is entirely responsible for his girlfriend’s death.

I overheard someone say they were okay with AI replacing “bands” but drew the line at using voices, like Frank Sinatra, because then it’s “replacing someone” Sinatra sang with a big band. That’s around 20 “someone”s, each with a unique sound, you dolt.

This hockey game is eerily quiet. Maybe it’s because Utah and Calgary haven’t really formed a rivalry yet, or maybe it’s because there’s maybe a couple dozen of us in Utah colours so it’s really punching down at this point.

At the Flames vs Utah game. I’m wearing my Utah jersey, with an Oilers toque. I want Utah to win, BUT if the Flames win, that’s better for Edmonton in the conference

Every new word in this sentence is worse than the last

Well that’s certainly a design choice.

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

The Pantone Colour of the Year being white* has to be one of the biggest recession indicators yet. *”cloud dancer” 🙄

Congrats everyone, we are officially at “circle back in the new year” o clock, we have survived the year, good work team

I’m going to an event today for a company that laid me off almost 3 years ago, so I need to figure out the corporate equivalent of Diana’s revenge dress.

Hot music take: the best Christmas song is Step Into Christmas and the fact that it doesn’t get the same love as Mariah Carey’s hit is a travesty.

Team Apple Music because it’s cheaper to just get all my Apple stuff together. Undeniably, Wrapped > Replay. But all that actually matters for this year is this

Man, the Bluesky Wrapped 2025 is pretty brutal

Postcard from my collection, sent 1912.

I saw a crashed cybertruck yesterday. I knew the design was bad, but I didn’t realize how bad until I saw the hazard lights. You couldn’t see this at all approaching, you only knew it was there because of a different Tesla behind it with better hazards.

*spoiler” I love that one of these arguments in Perry Mason is what kind of people leave a baby in a separate room while they make love!? I mean, any of us who have siblings have probably been in that situation (or were conceived in that situation).

I don’t mask most of the time, but there’s always a point in the winter where I start masking indoors. And between teacher friends I know comparing the “plague” going around the schools and all the Reddit posts asking if anyone else’s family is super sick, that point is now.

We’re watching the HBO Perry Mason and I love that the only thing that I’ve ever seen throw off Matthew Rhys’ American accent is a line where he has to say he’s a quarter Welsh.

Very proud of myself with this Christmas stocking arrangement lol 🎄🤮🎄

Even though it’s winter, the cat’s favourite spot in the house is right in front of a fan. We call her our little Beyoncé because she always wants to feel the wind in her fur

Happy Day 1 of Inkvent to all my fellow fountain pen enthusiasts! I’m up to date 4 because I cheated, but I have so many inked right now that I can wait and align with everyone on Friday.

How convenient, a pedestal to put herself on.

Red alert, boys. WSJ says it’s time to start dressing like Steve Zissou.

This is the only “Black Friday” before our wedding, and it’s so far out that we can’t buy anything because we don’t have even the basics purchased. It really does kill the urge by realizing waiting and paying full price will be cheaper than guessing now and getting it wrong

BOAT STUCK HOLIDAY EDITION

Me, an atheist: Your holiness I stand ready to join the crusade against the demonic computers

My work Christmas party has the dress code of “dress for a party!” And I have zero clue how to interpret that.

I bought a new merino blend toque at Costco yesterday, and I turned down all the ~demure~ neutral colours in favour of a bright pink one for visibility as a pedestrian, and I still almost got hit by a car walking this morning.
