Best thing on social media today (and maybe the best thing since BBC Dad) -- Stanford University Professor tells his kids he won the Nobel Prize in medicine, while wearing CROCS

I just found out that there is a library in Wales where you can book a bedroom to stay overnight with your books and I am dead. Nothing can be better than this

Making gyoza with my son! The ones that look good are the ones he made. I made the ones that look like crap. He discreetly fixes them. That's my boy!

Swim practice -- done. Bike to used bookstore and Farmers' Market: done. I'm going to sit on me arse all afternoon, drink tea and read these left-wing classics! OK, 2 out of 3 are left-wing, the other is the book that I didn't read in first year uni because it was boring.

It's so great to have my Gen-Z son introduce me to these edgy new bands, the "Velvet Underground" and "Radiohead" which I have obviously never heard of before, because I sang Baby Beluga when they were little and this erased my entire memory of music 🙄

I got home and found some shaggy-haired young man in flannel and workboots, drinking beer and playing electric guitar on my porch, annoying the neighbourhood Karens I raised my son well

‼️Népszabadság is returning on 8 October, exactly ten years after Orbán’s government shut it down. I was the paper’s Brussels correspondent when it was closed. For those of us who witnessed the destruction of Hungary’s independent press from the inside, this is a deeply personal moment. 2/1

Trump's remarks to the UN General Assembly this morning amount to a series of confessions to war crimes for which he could now easily be put on trial in The Hague. This makes clear why he wants to tear down the ICC. It's to protect his friends Vladimir Putin, Benjamin Netanyahu, and himself.

I found it on the Youtube. It looks way more fun to drive little cars in a lab than to drive in traffic

Me: I just heard a podcast that said some scientists taught mice how to drive cars using the food reward system Spouse: They should try that on Ottawa drivers Imagine that. You can only get that slab cake or those chicken wings at Costco if you drive there competently

I used to follow Russian elections closely. Obviously they are a joke and have been for some time. The only trend worth watching is what the authorities are trying to conceal. In the last two elections, they did not want to reveal detailed results by region, nor variations in voter turnout.

Sunday dinner with Son 2 Son: How do I say I am not confident about the test, in German Me: here's a good phrase, "bleiben sitzen" Son: to stay to sit? wtf Me: it means when you fail a test and have to re-do it Son 2: you think I'm going to fail? Me: it's an idiom Son: b/c in grade 2 you said...

I can't stop laughing. Somebody said "Sure, Jan" to a right-wing troll on a Facebook post of a progressive candidate for mayor, and this troll is now spouting off about Jan, the radical leftist. Yah, the notorious Jan "Che" Brady, who led a militant insurgency against teenage smoking

Watching the Ottawa mayoral race closely. Sutcliffe desperately wants re-election, and has swung ‘left’ on transit, homelessness, etc. But his fiscal plan doesn’t match, and where was he for 4 years? Leiper is the real deal.

Update: Facebook Karen is still telling me what a terrible person I am Me: I was hit by a car, HARD, as a child, near my house so I am willing to have local Karens think I'm a bi**h if I can stand up for kids walking to school My late sister saw the whole thing and was traumatized. As was I.

This Karen drove the wrong way, then turned her car to face the right way then drove in reverse (the wrong way) to the school, to park in the school bus zone. I posted this incident to the local Facebook group, someone said basically I was a bi**h to call it out, b/c anyone can have a bad day 🙄

To the Karen who drove the wrong way down a one-way street in front of a school, and then had the nerve to tell me she was in an important meeting on her phone(!) I hope your mute button wasn't on when I gave you a long piece of my mind through your open window

Zelensky in North Bay! Damn, I hope my NB inlaws put aside acting like Karens for just one day. I hope they don't complain to the manager about traffic issues making them late for their big-ass breakfast (They're not on Bluesky, as that would take time away from posting selfies on Facebook)

Why did the hummingbirds never show up in my crappy garden? I had tons of native plants and flowers. The bees and butterflies arrived and stayed, but no hummingbirds. I hav a hummimgbird feeder with sugar water and everything. Do I need to put out a tiny sign that says "free beer" or what?

Some 🤡 just heckled me on my bicycle, and I told him it takes a real hero to swear at an older lady on a bicycle, and asked if he talked to his mother that way and he called me "Fu**ing SHRILL!" Yes, damn straight, what's your point? I'm going to put that on a T-shirt as my personal brand

I got out from the gym this morning to discover I'd had a brain fart and forgotten to lock my bike. Thanks to everybody for not stealing it P.S. it's locked now so don't get any ideas. Also my cat might have peed on one of my panniers
