@feistywaters.com I see the word "whimsy" and think of you. ALT Text: Photo of a city crosswalk in the rain. Part of the white bands in the crosswalk are tarred over. But on top of the tar and white lines are multi-coloured stenciled in 6-petal flowers with a round centre.

The Oilers High-Vis jacket theme is in honour of the fact that they’ve had the same problem for 5 years and despite endless roster construction, the team is still over budget and years away from completion?

@rexlibris.bsky.social @yegrutabaga.bsky.social I was driving through campus last night and when I stopped at a red light, students were crossing and one was holding an Imaginus bag. I kind of miss that poster sale.

Do you ever think about how Alberta held a referendum on whether to permanently adopt daylight saving time, and voters (narrowly) rejected that idea, but then the government just said "fuck it" and went ahead with it anyway? Anyway, I think about that sometimes.

Addendum: If I'm in a very Francophone place (eg. Quebec City), I'll proceed en français (but with a clear Anglo accent). When I was in France years ago, I think I initiated conversations en français and reverted to English only when necessary.

I literally just tuned into the Oilers-Flames game. I realise it's the Flames broadcast. But did I actually hear them say: "The Flames are in their white road jerseys and moving left to right. The Oilers are wearing their home blue jerseys and moving right to left." ???

I don't think they considered kids walking to school when they unilaterally decided to impose this horror on us. Or, you know, expert opinions ... because they consider themselves experts on everything and have no respect for actual learned people.

One of the things I like about DVDs and CDs (after growing up with VHS and cassettes) is that you can pick what "chapter" or track to start watching or listening to. I was kind of annoyed that streaming required the FF button. There are some movies where I just want to watch fave parts.

I feel like that episode of Star Trek: TNG where Geordi LaForge falls in love in the holodeck would be more culturally relevant in 2026 if his holo-girlfriend had also counselled him to hack into federation public healthcare databases and commit acts of murder

So I have cable, and TSN3 is in my package, and the game is blacked out in my region?? What is this garbage? I mean, I know what the garbage is. I don't even care much about the game so much as having background game noise on.
