I am a highly trained medical professional, and my working diagnosis is that I just put my hand on a whole chili flake left on the table then rubbed it directly into my left eye. Ask me anything?

Had a 14k run today, did some errands, cooked supper, played a game with the kids. Decided early bed was a good idea. The dog, and her GODDAMN accomplice the skunk, had...other ideas.

Anytime I see news about the current Alberta government
Dr Manhattan from the Watchmen sitting on a rock on Mars, saying "I am tired of Earth. These people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives", photoshopped onto an image of the Alberta shield. The upper part of the Alberta shield features the red cross of Saint George. The lower portion of the shield depicts the Rocky Mountains, foothills, grass prairies, and wheat fields – representing Alberta's landscape.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

Well, that was weird. Just got refused service at the liquor store, because my teenager who is old enough to drink but doesn't, and who was keeping me company (but not buying anything) didn't have ID. What an odd experience.

So basically… The National Observer found a bunch of websites designed to confuse voters as poison AI that had possible linkages to Keith Wilson’s “Let Alberta Decide”… And when they asked for comment those websites suddenly went offline. Cool. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/04/i...
nationalobserver.com
A US-linked network of fake websites is promoting Alberta separatism to AI chatbots
The websites present crude, AI-generated slop disguised as the voice of real Albertans. But they're made in Florida — and they're not even targeting Albertans directly.

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from
A flow chart I have created with multiple questions and the answers determine where you're from.

Question 1 is do you call it a hydro bill (which then branches down to ON, QC, BC, MB) or an electric bill (which then branches down to SK, AB, NS, NB, PEI, NL)

Question 2 is do you call it a cabin (BC, MB, AB, SK) cottage (ON and atlantic) camp (northern Ontario) chalet (QC) or bungalow (Cape Breton)

To delineate BC from MB: do you call it dinner or supper

To delineate southern Ontario rural or big city: have you heard of a stag & doe

To delineate SK from AB: do you call a hoodie a bunnyhug

And finally to delineate NL from the other atlantic provinces: whaddayat? (Correct answer: dis is it b'y)
