Wait, hold up, just wait a tick folks. I think I can fix all of America’s problems. Algae is out. AlgAI is IN!

Various spawn of Mother Nature have conspired to give me an oak sapling that's growing up through our azalea. Hopefully I'll be able to encourage it on in a slightly different location.

We need every apartment to have to be legally registered. Landlords have to be licenced or in the very least follow the laws, held accountable. It's not a pipe dream. It is obtainable... They do it for almost everything else... So many people are suffering. As the money rakes in. #PEI

Here is the Privacy Commissioner's report on Grok's sexualized deepfakes.

You can't claim you're not a publisher when you decide what people see, pay people to create content, and build the AI tools that generate it. That's editorial control. That's publishing. And publishers can be held responsible for what they distribute. Shut down X unless it complies with UK law.

Took an extra long glance at the Underhay memorial bikes this morning. The crosswinds on the Hillsborough bridge would have made it unsafe to ride today if I was forced to do it beside traffic.

Convoy ding dongs and Albertan separatists bemoaning their lack of freedom.

Hollywood Bike Stencil Told To Slim Down To Meet Unrealistic Expectations Of City.

Platner very much is a discernible type, but it’s not “flawed but basically decent working class joe.” It’s “prep school creep with a sadistic streak and an ironclad confidence that it will never catch up to him.“

He ain’t reading all 5 of those sentences, folks.

Instead of forming a massive alliance against this absurd situation, pedestrians are pitted against cyclists, cyclists against scooter riders, ... Every day I become more disillusioned by just how deeply ingrained the “carbrain” is in all of us, even those of us without cars.

I think the fact that one of the Alberta separatist movement's main proponents believes King Charles wants to assassinate him should be a bigger part of the conversation surrounding this debate

Overheard at Tims: “No talking politics in here” Likely translation: “I am incapable of defending my poorly researched but firmly held opinions”

Me, the only customer at Lee Valley tools, standing under the “Now serving #98” sign with my number LV staff: I bet you’re holding #99 Me: You are a prescient man LV: I also do lottery numbers Me: Winning ones, or just regular ones? LV: Oh, just regular ones

Charlottetown in not the “Birthplace of Confederation”. The agreements that resulted in confederation happened weeks later in Quebec City. It is at best the uterus of confederation.

The people who wax eloquently about the exhilaration of bicycle commuting generally fail to mention the specific exhilaration of catching sight of a skunk by the curb out of the corner of your eye as you approach it. Fortunately neither of us was interested in getting acquainted with the other.

I got an email from LinkedIn today suggesting I follow a Junior DevOps Engineer from Ottawa. It was the son of a friend/former co-worker. I literally used to change his diapers and damn, how did that happen and where the hell did that time go?

Never forget that YOU are a data center. Drink some water ffs.

Given that a big part of the role of the RCMP throughout history has been removing Indigenous peoples from their lands and culture, it’s not surprising the federal government is hiring more RCMP just as they plan to ramp up resource extraction on Indigenous lands.

Left bag: Pharmacy Right bag: Grocery store Lower box: CSA pickup And a surprise parcel for my daughter in the mailbox is the cherry on the sundae

Can’t even fathom the crippling insecurities that would lead you to a place whereby drinking from a straw was enough to shatter your entire self-perception of masculinity

Oh, CBC. “Chickens keep disappearing from the henhouse. We’ll ask the fox what should be done about it”

Every dog is pooing Making number 2 they’re Both lining up outside just to squat down Every dog is pooing Making number 2 and Daddy’s got the sack Daddy’s got the sack, yeah!

Carney clarifies “Buy Canadian” also means public assets

Two apparently very well fed raccoons were just chasing each other through our yard while I was taking our coonhound Peter out for his last bathroom break. This has left each of me, them, and Peter in a heightened state of excitement, all for very different reasons.

Reading posts from the PM has me feeling a certain kind of way.

The CBC weather person just told me that temperatures would be cooler today because “the wind is coming off the water”, and I for one would be fascinated to learn what other options he thinks are possible for an island in an ocean.

Here, a friend demonstrates that attaching a bicycle stand to block paving has some pitfalls.

Saw a car with the vanity plate “1DRLAND” as I was leaving work. Spent the rest of the drive home contemplating whether it meant “wonderland” or “land with only one doctor”

Both dogs on opposite sides of me spinning around gracefully at the ends of their leashes before squatting down simultaneously. It was like a miniature RCMP musical ride, but with poop

Hi, I found the most cursed corn tortilla chips. They are friend in beef tallow to avoid seed oils. Do you know what counts as a seed oil? Corn Meal corn has fat. That's where the oil comes from. So, if you are eating corn tortilla chips you are eating seed oils.

So the PEI government doesn't have $1.5M/year to provide educational supports to our youngest and neediest learners, but it does have $2.5M/year to give to NHL officials so they can travel here on the taxpayer's dime. If that's not a statement of their priorities, I don't know what is.

Seems crazy that the Government of Canada’s travel advisory page has a higher alert level for the UK, Spain, France, Germany, and Italy (due to the threat of terrorism) than for the United States.

It seems slightly strange to think that earlier this morning I may have drank my last ever glass of frozen orange juice from concentrate.

While we will not be toning down the rhetoric, we will be making changes to its hue, contrast and white balance

This is how many thousands of dollars in damages to public property? How much more in healthcare costs? For what? Galen Weston's steak?

Our daughter moved into an apartment in town last week. I dropped a load of her things off this afternoon but forgot something small so I used my e-bike to bring it over. 16 minutes to get to her apt in my van. 24 minutes to get there *and back* on the e-bike.

Donald Trump Mr. Bean-ing his way to accidentally becoming the savior of the human race from climate change would be *incredibly* funny.

Tech CEOs suggest AI job losses could be offset by Universal Basic Income, which they will violently oppose thebeaverton.com/2025/11/tech...

Deck season begins

San Jose's beautiful Saint James's Park just after sunrise, as seen through an advertising wrap on a light rail train.

As I bike over the Hillsborough bridge each morning there is a row of seagulls perched on the railing. As I approach, each one of them flies off to the west and then presumably circles back and returns once I'm past, and I feel like I'm in a dance routine on the Lawrence Welk show.

It’s fairly telling of the order of things that Canada almost immediately defaulted to the government taking a financial hit to provide gas price relief, without paying for it through a windfall tax even being floated as a serious possibility.

Bought a couple of those number birthday candles for my daughter’s birthday cake. As I was opening the package I saw that it advertised “Lead free wicks”, and now I have a bunch of questions

was once New Amsterdam.

John McCain was onto something when he condemned UFC as "human cockfighting."

Disappointed (not surprised) that the Liberal Party voted against supporting proportional representation at their convention. What better time than now to go beyond the Anglosphere and learn from better systems in other countries?

“Roughly 20% of Canadian families experience food insecurity. Many families who lack adequate food continue to have access to an adequate supply of water, but our government has a plan to address that imbalance” - Mark Carney, probably.
