How many ways am I going to have to explain the answer to this client's question before he gets it. So far I've written four clear, detailed emails and he's still asking me the same thing. I feel like I'm being "shark skin is smooth as hell"-ed.

President's Choice ads are now, literally, "We provide telehealth! We also provide groceries!" Telus sells health insurance and cellphone plans. Why has this been allowed to happen. What are we doing here.

You don't have to answer all the questions, just the ones where you have input to share. And you can save your progress and come back later if you don't have time to answer everything in one sitting.

Just watched The Tingler. Vincent Price's commitment to delivering the most asinine "scientific" exposition as if it were long-studied and settled real-world fact remains unmatched.

I've signed up for #Festivids! My Dear Festividder letter is here: serrico.dreamwidth.org/957859.html

Found an absolute unit of toadstool in the back yard.

I have spent Too Much Time banging my head against various technology failures over the last couple of weeks. Was there a solar flare or something?

Mister Pope The Bible gives you all the clues

A country is not a business, nor should it be run like one. Public services shouldn’t be expected to turn a profit.

Rich people, especially rich people in the media & entertainment industries right this moment: The point of having fuck you money is saying “fuck you” when it counts.

Maybe mine is a minority opinion, but I don't think Star Trek was really suffering by not having climactic CG glowy-hands battles.

First day back at work after a week off and very slow tigers are after me about it.

I went to see some animals today. This fish kept giving me side-eye.

An absolute disgrace of a so-called "comedy" episode of #SNW this week. Not a single redeeming moment in the entire thing. Oof.

Going from s1 to s2 of #Foundation: suddenly more sex! More cursing! More action! More exposition! And so much less subtlety!!! I suspect network notes.

EEEEP. 🦊

Still baffled by #SNW hooking up La'an and Spock after previously giving La'an and Kirk a starcrossed romance. Unless they're doing the triangulation thing where a woman is paired off with two guys instead of just pairing off the two guys, in which case: classic move, but I still don't approve.

Armadillo on an exercise wheel!!!

Fun little memory exercise: furthest in each direction I've been in Canada: N: Slave Lake, Alberta E: Quebec City, Quebec S: Point Pelee, Ontario W: Banff, Alberta

It's the most wonderful time of the year!* *SO MANY roadside markets selling local fresh produce.

A few of the things I saw in Montreal today: two guinea pigs enjoying a day out at Mont Royal park.

Nonspoilery takeaway from this week's otherwise entirely entertaining episode of SNW: but *why* must they romance? Serious question. Why.

When the heart wants cookies, the heart doesn't care that it's twelve thousand degrees: the heart will turn on the oven and make some gd cookies.

The way the Liberals have squandered what could have been a transformative time to strengthen Canada's institutions and instead are bringing in more privatization and neoliberal bullshit that history has proven makes the lives of everyone except the wealthy worse is profoundly shameful.

Ooh, I have Star Trek opinions!!! I have to be offline all morning, but I'll opine away once I'm back. One like = one opinion about Star Trek.

The fancy grocery store I went to SOLELY to get a specific fancy flavour of store-brand ice cream was out of that flavour. BUT! They were NOT sold out of their really excellent Portuguese custard tarts, AND one package had somehow not sold long enough that it was discounted 50%! So overall, I won.

There are fireflies going HAM in my backyard right now. 🥰

The Liberals’ Bill C-2 is a draconian bill that would introduce Trump-style immigration policies and sweeping expansions to surveillance that would threaten the lives of millions of immigrants across Canada.

I got to the wild raspberries before the wildlife did!

Spending some time the day before Canada Day writing to my MP, because part of patriotism is haranguing your politicians when they do stuff you don't like.

Aye, SecUnit, righte ther wyth thee.

For the Things Are Looking Up file: I'm off work until July 2 and I got to flip off a cybertruck for the first time on the drive home.

Cosigned! The Knick is so good!

Left the air-conditioning for a grand total of 30 seconds earlier to take some stuff outside and it was gross gross gross. I hope everybody's staying as cool as they can.

Bunny in the yard!!

Oh there once was a puffin Just the shape of a muffin

Happy birthday, Return to Oz! A few years ago, I made a vid about some of what's discussed in this article, namely The Horrors: youtu.be/C8LAZp55i0w?...

Won't be online much today, so to my American friends who are protesting today, I wish you good luck and loud voices. Stay strong, stay healthy, stay safe.

Computer, enhance again! (Again, this is actually a flower just off to the side of the ones in the wide shot.)

Apparently these are called Dame's Rocket. I'd always just thought of them as "pretty ditch flowers". Whatever they're called, my camera could not figure out how to focus on them when I tried to get both colours in the shot.

Computer, enhance! (Actually this closeup is from another patch a little ways away.)

Bounteous crop of Queen Anne's Lace this year.

My fortune cookie fortune is either making a trenchant political statement, or. Uh. Well,
