I've got that old feeling that occasionally creeps up on the ever-single; wishing I had someone to really talk about this feeling with - then realizing if I did, the feeling wouldn't exist.

Omg this is awesome. I've actually considered pulling out the ol' reporters notebook the last couple years only because there is zero local coverage.

You know how local media is getting decimated as disinformation floods in?

Well, my friends at @nationalobserver.com have created an incredibly cool new tool for keeping an eye on local politics.

It's wide news at work now that lady D is dating that guy. I had someone ask me how I'm doing.

I'm a balding middle-aged childless bachelor who can't seem to attract anyone but octogenarians and the mentally-delayed. Yeah me? I'm just fine.

How do I live in a world where Margie Taylor Green is making a lot more sense than John Fetterman?

What in the fuck is going on here?

This is not acceptable. When he is making cuts to services at the same time he hands his friends jobs where they make a base salary of over half a million dollars a year. @mark-carney.bsky.social is already the worst PM since Harper.

So apparently I was supposed to be at work today. When the supervisor called asking where I was, I was floored! 14 years and I've never done this before. Got here in 15mins though!

I just miss human touch so much. Wish I didn't!

The fact a Venezuelan woman, Maria Corina Machado, won the Nobel Peace Prize ought to burn the orange man-burrito more than just about any other outcome.

Oh boy...! What do you do for physical affection, if you don't mind my asking? I think that's the hardest part for me. I feel achey if I go too long without seeing my folks' dog, who is my sole source.

Sometimes I wish I lived in a big culturally-vibrant, and intelligent city like Vancouver or Montreal. One major difference is I bet I'd have a partner or had a bunch by now.

I've lived alone for 13 years - today (It autocorrected to "loved' and I laughed ruefully and almost left it.)

'night then.

I'm going to order some dioxyribose gel for hair regrowth next pay. Anyone tried it/know that it works?

First full day that they've been home. So a little over an hr ago I text dad: "So have you convinced her yet?"

He replies immediately: "Almost! Did you leave a recording device here somewhere??"

Maybe a little woo -- but I also know dad's permanent petition for 'dinner out'!

And we meet in 40! 😄

With grocery giants ripping off Canadians, it’s time for a bold alternative: public grocery stores.

Food analyst Aaron Vansintjan explains how a publicly-run grocery option could solve the crisis of skyrocketing food costs.

There has been a lot of ICE activity in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago today. There has also been a lot of ICE watch and rapid response activity. We love our community, and we are showing up for each other.
