In the US, you have ICE agents. In Canada, we have NICE agents.
This agent was part of the ‘This Hour Has 22 Minutes’ Canadian television show. He was interviewing Americans and letting them pose for a Canadian passport ID. People were getting a kick out of it and having fun. Good on you Canada! 🇨🇦❤️

My sci-fi comedy recommendation…
"Avenue 5".
www.imdb.com/title/tt1023...
When the future relies on the few people who know the technology and good-looking actors who pretend to be the captain & crew.
Only on CRAVE though.

Frontlines were hit hard dealing with #Covid & hyperinflation. Some became #PWD's. We need a strong infrastructure for next pandemic.
I wish @bcgeu.bsky.social & unions would advocate #fairness #dignity #solidarity for #PWD's who get only 1/2 the Minimum Wage! More PWD's in BC than BCGEU members.

Not a day goes by where I ask myself if life is worth the few joys while suffering under so much structural violence. So many have it worse. So many have wealth & health, so much better, and so greedy; they only care when bad things happen to them.

And what happens to these selfie posts? Nothing. PWD’s get ghosted by family, friends, neighbours. Because apparently seeing suffering is hard. Maybe they should try actually suffering for once to get some empathy! Parents & teachers are raising a bunch of snowflakes.

I couldn’t sleep last night! Arrgh. I need Dayvigo after all. Zoplidem did nothing. Oxycodone didn’t make me sleepy either. Stress & exertion too high. Life is tough.

If Bluesky developed a Spaces, I would delete my X account. Too many people with bad manners and poor intelligence over there. Like beating one’s head on the wall.

Too many dismiss the huge amount of effort & vetting that happens over 4 yrs of BSc, 6 yrs of MSc/PhD, 2 yrs of post-doc. 12 years, minimum. Harder than going from K to 12.
In my experience, patient partners acknowledged in papers were usually not the avg patient, often with appropriate degrees.

Americans wearing Canadian flags just gives us a bad name.
"...after a heated confrontation with Canadians and a surprising exchange with a local taxi driver during her vacation in the Dominican Republic earlier this year that the American tourist from upstate New York resorted to lying about her nationality for the first time."

I always thought life would get better as one gets older, especially with the Internet making the world a "global village". But I didn't count on people (& organizations they work in) getting meaner, especially with the Covid pandemic. But then people were very mean to gay men in the AIDS pandemic.

Anybody else have a mean mother? I have a bad back from a drunk driver and two tailgaters but somehow that’s my fault.

These flags reflect my life, my home, my health. Meanwhile my neighbors, incl a husband who used to work for ICBC, have spent so much money on their yard & house while mine continues to decline. ICBC did not give me a fair settlement after starving me out, and BC’s legal system favors the rich.

My Rhodesian Ridgeback cross loves human food. He had a rough first 3 months of life being starved in a puppy mill. (That guy got arrested the next year stealing $8000 from a Ucluelet pharmacy.)

New imagery of 1972 launched intended #Venera probe to visit #Venus but that is stuck in Earth orbit for 53 years, likely confirms that some structure is connected to the capsule. Not impossible that it's the parachute that already came out the capsule a long time ago, but this is still speculation!
