www.bikeradar.com/news/tour-de... This is a sign, we need a real Tour de Alberta. We’re tired of Quebec getting all the pros, we need them to come here and inspire our rural communities. The grand depart is held outside of France sometimes, so why not Calgary?

Updating my LEGO White House

Made my fiancé try the Pumpkin Cream Alani, and he produced the same reaction as when our cat gets a full shot of gabapentin right down her throat.

This year for Halloween I’m gonna be the French crown jewels and fuck off from work at 9:30 in the morning

I bought my fiancé an Arsenal jersey when we visited Emirates Stadium, and they have won (or drawn) every game that he’s watched while wearing it. Their only loss was when we were in Chicago. If anyone wants to pay him to stay home and watch it in his jersey to keep the streak going, feel free.

Congratulations @jeromyyyc.bsky.social ! As one of your first acts, can we please fix the Scroll?

For real, are even Roughrider fans paying attention at this point?

Got off the plane and walked into a drug store in Ottawa and got my COVID vaccine in under 5 minutes. No line up. No appointment. No cost. Was even asked if I wanted Moderna or Pfizer. It’s unconscionable that we can’t get this same level of service in Alberta.

Good morning! Here is the full uncropped poster that I did for @realgdt.bsky.social for Frankenstein

After 2 years of resisting, I caved and bought an Inkvent calendar. My justification is that all of my local pen shops only carry Diamine inks in 80ml bottles, so this is actually saving me money because I don’t need to buy a $20 bottle just to try a new colour.

Happy gotcha day, your majesty. 6 years since you tricked me into thinking you were a sweet little thing who needed to be spoiled by a millennial without children. You are a brat, but you are our brat, and I love our shenanigans. Please bite less in this upcoming year.

Most Canadians are indifferent to the MLB and NBA most of the time, but I do love moments like this. American fans of other teams check out once their team is gone, but in Canada, the entire country rallies and is like “THIS IS OUR SPORT NOW”

using cutting edge 3D printing technology, scientists have been able to reproduce the voice box of an ancient mummy, and reconstruct what must have sounded like when alive:

Been there, done that, got the sticker. (And then the free ice cream scoop)

On my way to cast my THREE SEPARATE BALLOTS to be hand counted, at rush hour because they didn’t open polls until 10 am, and without a voter card because of Canada Post strikes so we missed advanced polling. At least my teacher friends got to vote during the day because they’re on strike 🥲 #abvotes

Someone on Reddit shared this Sephora advent calendar that’s has an entirely AI generated cover, and I think this might be it for me. A website of chatGPT/AI slop reviews selling me products that humans never even reviewed. I’m halfway to rouge this year, with 5k+ points, but I think I’m done

Katy Perry Releases New Single About Superiority Of Canadian Manufacturing

Anyways Calgary/Alberta, some reminders 1) the mayor is a single vote on council. Not some all powerful person who makes every decision. 2) we actually need to spend on infrastructure and preventative maintenance to avoid things like the water main break. 3) Fuck Sean Chu, and good riddance.

Someone called in to the radio morning show to say he wasn’t going to vote, because it didn’t matter and they all sucked. Then he said he did have a candidate who he would prefer to be mayor, and the DJ rightfully chewed him out. HOW ELSE DO YOU THINK YOUR CANDIDATE WINS??? MAGIC??

What kind of jurisdiction makes the voting window shorter, opening later, and then hand counts the ballots?! Thank you 2020 American Election Stolen conspiracists for convincing the UCP to ban electronic tabulation. I was really worried that tampering was what cost Larry Heather last election.

Denying harm reduction and safe supply is endorsing the death penalty for the “crime” of addiction. No matter how you dress it up, this is the reality of preventing these life saving policies.

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

You boy! Is this visual data streaming in 4K, with zero latency?

The Blue Jays need to either lose or win and then sweep the World Series because I’m very tired of needing to be aware of baseball. We’re not designed for this. It’s hockey season.

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

I took sewing lessons in grade 3, and every single Halloween since like 2017, I’ve been convinced that this year, I’ll sew my costume. I spend like $100 on fabric, find patterns, and then fall apart somewhere between cutting things out and putting them together. But this year?

I measure all our wedding expenses in terms of how many new tenor saxes I could have bought instead.

Season 4 of Big Love is rough. They are really going all in on trying to convince us that Bella Thorne is Teenie, and it’s obnoxious. Also everyone’s character is suddenly so flat.

Happy #caturday Again, photographic proof of the half an hour that she is cuddly without resorting to biting.

I feel like Baseball players are athletes that if you saw them on the street, it would be really hard to recognize them. Like if you see a pro football player, you can tell they are a pro football player. Basketball and volleyball are obvious. But baseball, you’d be like “that guy is kind of fit?”

Watching the Blue Jays, and I get that tensions are high between Canada and the USA. People boo the anthems, they boo other teams, it happens. But booing an injured player for trying to stay on the field? Shameful, absolutely gross. Your pitcher hit him!!

Fellow makers, does the sweater curse lift upon marriage? Can I make my in-laws sweaters safely? I’m not daring to make a sweater before marriage, but it would be nice to maybe one day make him one.

Love is Blind: Joe made Madison cry more this season than my partner has made me cry in the last 7 years. This is so painful to watch.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Having to go to a dental checkup, but having benefits so you can afford to go to the dentist regularly

I really hope they found a way to formally say “Stockton Rush is a generational moron” so it’s officially recognized and preserved.

I’m a monster. Look at this absolutely neglected cat, truly suffering* *not getting breakfast half an hour early

Certain mayoral and councilor candidates like to bleat on and on about crime and what they are going to do about about. But this...these crimes against people are not what they care about...so the deaths on our roads continue, unabated. #yyccc #roadsafety www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

The only correct answer for the licence plate redesign is #2 (red letters) Picture plates are hard to read (esp. with snow), and blue writing+blue numbers are currently used by at least 4 other provinces.

Just glad Splatatouille's family can finally have some closure x

There are like..so many. But I did once get locked into the Observatory during a shelter in place. So we “sheltered” in the domes, doing the observing that we were going to do anyways.

Don’t spoil the end of Love is Blind, but I want Edmond to react to all future seasons.

I feel like the number one rule of Love is Blind is to only go for someone who is immediately connected with just you. Like has it ever worked out when someone has numerous choices, other than Barnett? It only worked because Amber was #1 and would not have settled for being a second choice.

Cyclist boyfriend took the batteries out of his Garmin pedals to put them in the cat’s laser pointer. He says that it’s because it’s indoor bike season, but I think he’s playing cool about the fact he might love the cat as much as he loves his bike.

Getting in the habit of just buying myself stuff and then giving it to my fiancé to give to me as a Christmas gift. He can sign various family members to give it to me if he wants, but I need to order the Oilers lululemon half zip ASAP because it sold out last year

ESRI Error Message 999999

Visiting family and I know there’s this idea that little dogs are yappy brats, but they have a Pomeranian and he’s the greatest little dog. He’s being carried upside down by his owner’s granddaughter, just totally chill and happy to be held.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But when I became grown, I put away childish things. Then when I became a bit more grown, I rebought those same childish things from a vintage reseller and kinda don’t know how to feel about it

If you aren’t from Northern Alberta, you will never guess how Falher is pronounced.

just watched a dozen people ask microsoft copilot experts their most pressing questions and those questions were 90% “how do i turn it off?” and “when i turn it off, is it really off or is it spying on me?”
