what I'm hearing

Prettay prettay good. @meghancolleen.bsky.social.

I swear woodpeckers are the dumbest creatures in the animal kingdom. I saw four metalpeckers in a 13-minute walk to 7/11 for milk this morning.

Ladyfriend is making this happen tonight with two toasts, an Impossible patty, rosemary garlic crinkle cut fries, and this cheese sauce.

This place kicks ass, tbh.

Is there a worst chain of sit down restaurants than Applebee's?

I think I'm a political activist now. I started an instagram account that keeps track of whether our mayor is ever actually at work.* * He isn't. He's only allowed in City Hall during counsel meetings due to his continuous abuse of city staff.

They really expected me to get things done at my office while this was happening out my window all week.

Say it to his face, not when you're 50' away and backpedaling to the bench, bozo.

1. Stop the ball! 2. Stop the ball! 3. Stop the ball! 4. Fuuuuuuck!

Watched the first two minutes of Sours-Mavs and said "HOLY SHIT!" at something Wemby did three times.

Hey @meghancolleen.bsky.social, is this more or less than you paid for Oasis tickets last summer? Keep in mind this is in CAD when it was at about $0.65 CAD.

Big Supreme Court of Canada case today: when a life insurer applies to have a declaration of death set aside when they discover the guy declared dead seven years after he disappeared is actually still alive, they do not have to serve the non-deceased. Serving his supposed widow is fine, actually.

Surprising a guy with this bio would turn out to be a piece of shit:

I own (and absolutely adore) Dusty (Not Actually) in Memphis, but I think this album is even better overall. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #1001Albums

The Seattle Mariners are a powerful reminder that it's OK to just give up sometimes.

John Connor?

Comms God. Just an incredible antidote to almost five decades of "the nine scariest words in the English language."

This is incredible:

As I contemplate having found holes in 3 pairs of hiking socks that aren't even that old and we're cheap this morning this post seems helpful, because what is life in 2026 except doing a google search for "[PRODUCT THAT USED TO BE QUALITY] + private equity"? www.reddit.com/r/YouShouldK...

What're they arguing about? I bet he's saying "But for the dead spot in Steve Stipanovich's knee the Pacers would have been contenders in the late 80s. A starting lineup of Vern Fleming, Reggie Miller, Chuck Person, Wayman Tisdale, Stipanovich starting five could've hung in with anyboy in the East."

This is a different article from the same obviously astroturfed and very funny campaign by the Falkland Islands tourism people, but it really is worth reading for the sheer insanity within. I wonder if there's any catches to the Falklands' "spectactular beaches."

You know I had to do it to 'em.

If any of you are currently hating life and, particularly, your jobs, I give you permission to play around with this for 20 minutes or so:

This dude's career is so fucking funny.

Remember, folks, it's not "CoPilot" or "generative AI" the preferred nomenclature is now "powerful productivity apps" or "creativity tools."

Less dog-free spaces; more human-free spaces, imo.

Ah yes, we'll "push back on tech" by widely adopting the AI tools tech has spent trillions developing. I am a very very smart boy. It's a "democratic advancement at ground level."

A fun and quirky Britishism that's kind of like dollar store The Who in that way. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #1001Albums

He is risen. Just in time for us to put a crew together! We needed a guy with a very particular set of skills!

This would fix me.

Cheeseburger.

I have introduced my students to the wonders of Peter Potamus in a vain attempt to get them to stop asking me if I'd gotten that they they'd sent me.

Who knows how to say "poutine" in Ulster Scots?

Meant to post this on Monday, but do we have any actual proof that Dan Hurley ISN'T a Tim Robinson character?

Even Nico Harrison thinks this deal sucks.

OK, but I'm still gonna eat something stupid, though.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

I don't know who she is but Secretary of Commerce is hers if she wants it.

This is all very like the time my neighbour Jose (a Filipino immigrant) sent a TELUS salesperson around the complex to tell us all we "had to" get Ring cameras because he'd "seen people around the neighbourhood who didn't belong," i.e. Jose saw a First Nations person.

What's a male first name that starts with "Pr-"? I'm trying to do some alliteration here.

Perfect soundtrack for today. "1969," "I Wanna Be Your Dog," and "No Fun" are absolute all-time bangers. This is really a six-star album, imo, due to how far ahead of its time it was and the influence it had. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #1001Albums

And people wonder why I fucking hate Otis Thorpe:

RESPECT LEVEL = 0.00

Slaps Across America™️. I'm tellin' y'all. It's got to happen.

"What the fuck happened last night, man? Has anybody seen my wallet?"

Ah. So I've see we've reached "Wait. Is he talking about using nukes? Like today?"

Fouling out in a game that was reffed like this requires some real stupidity.

I think Mullins might be the best NBA propsect in this game.
