National milestone: It’s been 10 years since the Waitangi dildo strike
When Josie Butler threw that dildo, she split our nation’s timeline into two eras: before dildo (BD) and after dildo (AD).

Ooh! MGM just announced today that From Season 4 (filmed in Nova Scotia) premieres April 19! Yes it’s dumb AF with some of the worst acting you’ll ever see but I love it and the premise is outstanding 😁 youtu.be/l8hqswlBpJ0?...

I’m enrolled in an inhaled COVID vaccine study. So that’s fun? Right?

Is Andy the worst Halifax mayor ever? Top 3 at least.

OMG so w/ an Air Canada return trip if you book Basic, the return must also be Basic! Like if I select a $200 Basic Ottawa flight and a $300 Standard return flight (because Basic is sold out) they won’t let me select the Standard return! I have to book Basic both ways or Standard both ways?! JFC

Trying to return a large item to Best Buy which requires pickup. Starts w/ call or email. The email option throws an error so I called. EIGHT DAYS to get a response! Asked a follow up question and they’ve gone silent again! Not a word since Mon. Feels like they’re trying to run out the 30 day clock.

I guess I’m “this new call screening feature in iOS 26 is confusing as fuck” years old because I’ve never managed to answer one of those screened calls. They stress me out and I somehow always fuck it up.

You'd think w/ all the AI "magic" we'd be able to "mute" images by subject matter. I keep seeing the kneeling man w/ a gun to his head illustration, relentlessly (Alex Pretti ofc) and I know it's "just" an illustration but I find it disturbing nonetheless.

I watched the shat himself on tv video a dozen times and maybe my hearing it worse than I thought but I couldn’t pick up on it

It’s a dark and cold time in so many ways.
Grateful for a little meetup and ride with the #BikeHfx community, who brought everything from homemade cookies and hot chocolate to hot dogs!
Thanks to all who made this happen ❤️

Just watched F1 and it was ok. And very deserving of it’s nominations for sound, editing, and effects. But best picture? Really? The story was shallow as a sheet pan with all the emotional weight fruit fly. I don’t mind a fun cookie cutter ride w/ a bit of schmaltz but best picture? Ya nah.

The expectation of real-time texting w/ “the apps” is never going to work for me. I barely ever even text w/ my friends and family. I hate it. It’s just not part of my “operating system”. I miss when you could just exchange a few email style messages over a week and then meet.

I love this thoughtful and beautifully presented piece by @terry.social.godier.me.ap.brid.gy (found via @tyfromtheinternet.com’s newsletter), on the anxiety of unread counts and the questionable evolution of app design.

I’d be ok w/ the city demolishing The Forum, building a new arena, and selling off extra land. I fear new 4-pads tho. They‘re always named after a banks and make helmets mandatory. As a figure skater I’m not doing that. Also fun fact, you have a high risk of life-altering brain injury from golfing.

I had so much fun skating today! And another revelation. I talked before about waiting to "feel it" before going into an element (like feeling the centripetal force before pulling in a spin). Today I felt it but lost it DURING the pull in. So the revelation, don't get ahead of the physics!
