Dan was teasing me and made me laugh uncontrollably while I have a cold which then made me cough uncontrollably which hurt a LOT and now everything hurts and long story short my spouse is mean.

Funny, but mean.

This is actually good, it’s rare that a plague lasts more than a week for me, so I’ll be in tip top shape by next Friday!

Good news, no spitting required, I’m sick. Ugh.

Spouse has a full on man cold.

I have a flight to Barcelona in 9 days.

Do I try to avoid him so I don’t get sick or do I get him to just spit in my eye so I can get his cold and get over it Right Fucking Now?

Related to my last post: I’m going vacation in a week and a half and I haven’t started planning my travel knitting projects. Who even am I? And will I finally finish my cruise shawl?

A person riding a bicycle holding a stick. They jam the stick labelled "0% Property Tax Increase" in the front wheel, then are lying on the ground in pain saying "Our aging public pools are falling apart and we don't have budget to replace them"

I will also note that the mayor is also putting out incorrect information over his own motion.

We’ll see what the proposed budget looks like in a month or two, what the discussion is like, and when the actual vote is scheduled.

BC residents: If you still have your booking link from last year, try and book your flu and COVID shots now. (Last year they didn’t send me a link until October 28!)

I kept getting an ‘error – time no longer available' message, but reopening the booking site did the trick.

Hmm, wonder if my employer would be annoyed if I brought a humidifier to work? I’d love to see one battle it out with the industrial hvac system.

Leaving work late after talking with some coworkers who talk as fast as I do, so conveniently we were able to fit an hours conversation into half an hour.

Ah, a nosebleed out of nowhere. Dry air season already?

Remember, 5.3 people are killed every day by motor vehicles in Canada. There aren’t widespread movements to put speed limiters on motor vehicles.

Just some context that any #ebike news story should have when advocates against ebikes are interviewed.

That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
