Mathew Baynton was impressively good and always charming on Comedians Taking Penalties with Chloe Petts.

Snow boi

Sunday Night Movie Club is watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail tonight at 7pm Pacific / 8pm Mountain if any friends want to join us. DM me or @loxy.bsky.social if you want to be added to the group chat.

Now I’m watching people try to push a cab that is stuck in the snow in my complex.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

The "can't say no" shit is already cause enough to drown the developers in the river, but note how the AI "girlfriend" always looks about 15 or 16 years old. I'm sure that's a total coincidence.

My takeaway is that we have not been mean enough to the New York Times this year www.nytimes.com/2025/12/27/a...

You won't hear many fond remembrances of Bridget Bardot coming from the Arctic. Her activism caused hardship, poverty and death here. On top of that, she was super racist. I highly recommend watching the documentary Angry Inuk to learn more about that history.

Are Canadians still boycotting the US? I have no plans to go there, even though Alaska is so close and one of the few drive destinations. I see a lot more trips there nowadays. I can’t say I have the same aversion to US grocery products. If I have a choice I’ll go elsewhere, but I won’t abstain.

On September 19, 1985, Congress held an entire hearing based on the distant possibility that metal music was inspiring teens to commit suicide.

it’s always haiku and never byeku

It sure feels great to see this tech forced into absolutely everything but especially onto students.

It is SO good.

I don't know how many times it needs to be said that you absolutely should not let fucking "AI" anywhere near your legal contracts, either in creating them or evaluating them, but apparently it needs to be said at least one more time, so allow me to say it again, here, right now

She wasn’t a casual racist. She was hardcore politically racist. For decades. So, we’re done with the mourning.

In case you were curious, it is finally above -30c here to -23c. It has been snowing for about 24 hours and is supposed to keep snowing for another day or two. Of note - the average temp this time of year is a high of -13, low of -22. So we are still on the cold side of things.

‼️Reminder to check your outside furnace vent/exhaust to ensure it is not blocked by snow drifts. #yeg #yegwx

Not enough butt to keep him onside.

Stop asking if this place has “the juice” and ask if it has “the Lord.”

I like these yellow Spurs kits. Especially playing against a red and blue team. All primaries.

#ootd: more snow today and still below -20. Yellow toque - homemade Earrings - homemade Grey waffle knit shirt - Aerie Light blue and yellow puffy vest - Patagonia - gift Wide leg light blue jeans - used Wool socks

#ootd: that Saturday between Xmas and new years - we’ve traded deep cold for -25 and wind and snow Teal toque - homemade Earrings - homemade Forest green turtleneck - Simons Brown knit sleeveless tunic - have had for ages, can’t remember Brand today Purple fleece leggings - locally made Slippers

#ootd: Boxing Day - as the weather starts to get warmer Glasses Orange workout shirt - used Olive waffle button up - used Black fleece leggings - locally made House sandals

As a massive Taskmaster fan, it’s great to see this side of Munya speaking important truths.

I know Heated Rivalry is the top Canadian show right now but here’s another one for you.

"She frequently decried the influx of immigrants into France, especially Muslims. She was convicted and fined five times in French courts of inciting racial hatred . . ."

It’s hyper local but I miss Panda Panda.

Watched the new Knives Out movie. I really enjoyed it. Found Josh O’Connor mesmerizing. A bit long but felt like they let the movie breathe. Didn’t play the whodunnit game, just went along for the ride.

This is another reminder for you to watch North of North. (I think it’s on Netflix in the US?)

“it is illegal for you not to like me”

The littlest one looks just like his dad. 😢

When I was in broadcasting school, a well known broadcaster told me I didn’t have “the look” to be a sports broadcaster, ie, not pretty enough. The expectations were so high. I was happy to pursue radio. (Will put an old photo in the replies. Not for compliments, just context.)

will also add - yes, this is my personal crusade - that turning podcasts into videos implicitly asks women to once again make more effort than men, as the bar for "camera-ready" for one gender is obviously higher than for the other

Liverpool being the only team to beat Villa during their run just adds to what an odd season LFC are having

I’m here for a good Villa

Like, I will tell anyone who will listen about my induction cooktop, or my Japanese water boiler, or Eatyourbooks/cookshelf. These are things that have made my life better. I use them and I promote them.

If I have turned off "AI" tools like "writing assist" on my phone then they should stop shoving their icon over top of the things I'm doing. IF YOUR PRODUCT IS SO GREAT I WILL CHOOSE TO USE IT.

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

I miss the boring 2-0 wins of last season.

WOAH these numbers are wild. We know casinos cause violence to rise. We know home team losses cause dv to go up. Now we know that sports gambling causes higher larcency, vehicle theft, etc 30% up to 100%. Crime goes up 70%. Ban it.

Really like the dynamic movement on the ball that Frimpong brings.

You know how you can tell a hack from an actual writer? A hack just tells the same story over and over and over.

🎶 Oh, he wears the number 20 He will take us to victory And when he’s running down the left wing He’ll cut inside and score for LFC He’s a lad from Portugal Better than Figo don’t you know Oh, his name is Diogo 🎶 #lfc #redsky #ynwa #forever20

david arquette could host the joy of painting but bob ross couldn't win the wcw heavyweight title in a triple cage match

Many doctors chiming in on how to help fix Canada's ER crisis with no mention of respirator masks or mitigating constant waves of viral illness. It's painful to witness!

I got so caught up in a potential Taskmaster Dropout I never even considered Sam Reich competing on the UK version until now

There you go. The stuffing waffle and it hidden under Brussels sprouts, turkey, gravy and cranberry sauce. 🍜🍽️

It’s time for our annual Boxing Day meal, which is always for like 12 years running… stuffing waffles with turkey and gravy

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.
