In my 19 years of public service, I think I've been in every tv studio in the city. I am very disappointed in our local media because not one reporter has had a picture up somewhere of who should be their journalistic idol: Goldbug of Busytown Action Bug News

When I open up YouTube these days the algorithm is feeding me scenes from A Few Good Men, including the famous "You can't handle the truth!" courtroom scene- widely considered one of the most dramatic movie moments. But the Simpsons made it so that I cannot take it seriously: youtu.be/_TItRVyYiJM

It's a really nice feeling when your teenager has a friend over and you're making supper for them, and you overhear them both talking a lot from the next room about how amazing it smells and how excited they are to eat what you're making.

I'm volunteering at my daughter's summer camp this week. There's a tradition here where most staff choose a "camp name" that everyone calls them Several of them did not believe that Björn is my real name, because it's apparently too cool of a Viking name and it surely must be the camp name I chose.

Happy Independence Day to my American friends. You freed yourselves from the tyranny of cask ales, Sunday roasts at the pub, and scones with clotted cream and strawberries. Well done. That would have been awful. Close call. 😐

The Cabo Verde - Argentina game yesterday was probably the most exciting soccer game I've ever seen. Probably the best sportsing match I've ever seen. The Cabo Verdean team was incredible and should be amazingly proud. Imagine if they had actually won and caused the biggest upset in sports history!

Ok @mlb.com, putting random games on Apple TV just to squeeze more subscription fees out of people is so incredibly greedy. People already subscribe to streaming services to watch the games, and there's no reason to put some games on different services. This is such a disservice to your fans.

You can tell AI is just not taking off the way tech companies want because all of them are now trying to fool you into using their useless AI features by putting the AI button (with little stars) right where the most commonly used non-AI buttons are.

One of my favourite transit facts is that, although in Winnipeg we call the people who park, clean, and service the buses every evening "bus servicers", many systems call them "hostlers". hos·tler /ˈ(h)äslər/ noun - historical A man employed to look after the horses of people staying at an inn.
