So I have decided that my wayward Thyroid may address me as "Mother".

Today it's acting like the brat it is. I'm all wobbly and weird.

Hopefully it acts up enough that they decide to kill the little beast so I can go on with life.

This sounds like a question for Bluesky:

When I'm having a verbal argument with my own Thyroid (telling it to fark off and die) should it refer to me as it's Mother or it's Sister?

20 years ago I.would have thought the phrase "App won't launch on Firestick" was a caveman joke.

I love Transformers. I cannot draw Transformers. Thus I relied HEAVILY (O so very very heavily) on a reference photo for this. Watch me colour it for practice and kicks.

Disney+ plans to incorporate a feature where you can GenAI your own short using their characters and post it to the website.

Nothing bad could possibly come from this.

And the foot fetish fans could do the FUNNIEST thing....

Happy Hallowe'en, my Spooky Boos!

We don't get kids as we're in an apartment, but Chall and I will spend the evening revisiting a blast from the past: The Subspecies movie series by Blue Moon pictures.

A dusk-to-dawn marathon of bad film.

May your Hallowe'en be full of spoopy goodness!

O Sweet F*ck, let this be true:

Ford is apparently walking back on his attack on month-to-month renting.

www.cp24.com/politics/que...
Ford government walks back on plan to consider changes to renters’ right to ‘security of tenure’
The Ford government says it won’t be moving forward with consultations to modify the law that protects tenants’ right to remain in their unit.

HEY ONTARIO PEOPLE!

Doug Ford wants to "reconsider" tenant security. Basically, they are considering permitting a landlord the right to give you the boot for any reason, at any time, if you rent month to month.

Ontario bill would look at ‘alternative options’ for ending residential leases, scrap Toronto green roof bylaw. Here are the highlights
The Ford government has tabled an omnibus bill that would make changes to a whole suite of laws and regulations, from green roofs to tenant evictions and driver’s licences.
