It is so hard to work when everyone is trying to bullshit each other. Sadly, that is the microcosm of seeing the line go up. What matters is the optics, the actual consequences are just a sub product.

The obfuscation of information to help accommodate an underwhelming narrative is only useful for the narrator. It is so common to hear lots of BS at work, which only makes it hard to understand what's happening. But you want to look good in front of your boss! Yei! And now we have a BS generator..

I watched this movie randomly while visiting one of my mom's aunts when I was a kid. I don't know what kind of cable she had, but I saw it and I still remember that day vividly and fondly. Many years later I re-watched it and realized what amazing soundtrack it has. It still holds!

It is not the first time they do this. The text is fluff, and the AI repeats the original points but with more words. It is so obvious that it is embarrassing. I'm starting to think they might even skip my original messages and make the AI read for them.

I sent a message today to a coworker, one of my habitual walls of text with all my open questions on a project. All written by me. Writing helps me think. The fact that I can share it after is just a plus. As a response, they sent me back a comment 3 times as large, all obviously written by AI.

Every Brad Bradford endorsement is like, "Toronto used to be a utopia with zero problems. Now it is only fit for the most violent of rats, where sentient crack pipes murder you in dark alleys and feral child gangs feast on the Lululemons of my yoga mom group. Brad will fix this. I live in Whitby."

The iPhone works great, but the battery and memory are ridiculously small. The iPad touch is kind of unusable because the apps won't update to an older OS. The iPod classic, with his HDD still works as intended. The only concern is keeping the 30 pin cable (and I still need to test the battery life)

My wife was complaining that her iPhone has so little memory that she cannot download offline music for when we travel and there's no internet available. I went to look for my old iPods. The classic and the Touch, charge them, and I snapped this photo.

Hace poco vi en el subway de Toronto a alguien con un saco que decía "Fredonia." Primero creí que la gente de Fredonia, Antioquía se había puesto las pilas con su branding, pero después descubrí que también hay un Fredonia en New York.

Leaving the engagement-bait argument aside, I'm so baffled by the concept of hate watching. Life is too short to spend time looking at shit you hate, unless you are getting paid for it. Also, it is not like there's not enough stuff out there to watch.

Nuit blanche in Toronto feels less funded and more disappointing each year. Harbourfront was miserable, and I just learned via Reddit that there were "artists" using AI. Too lame to literally lose sleep over this.

With this record we now have all of Oceansize's studio albums. And it is extra sweet because this one was removed from streaming a while back. Favourite track: Oscar Acceptance Speech

I finished The Blood of Dawnwalker, and even if sometimes it feels like a spin-off from The Witcher, I really liked it. I would like some time to explore more of the world, but the sense of urgency adds a new flavour. I was able to unlock a few endings, but I'm curious about other decisions

What I dislike is not only the awful, irrelevant ideas they bring to the table, but also their insistence on maintaining a facade that they are doing something. They are clearly out of their depth on this... not to mention the actual day-to-day work.

The company is killing all their ideas to manage things differently inside our org. I’m afraid they understand the apathy of the folks before them. All the things they are proposing are, by their own admission, only performative, with no real value in the outside world. Poor younger folks...

The story of my org leadership is so sad. One year ago, they fired most of them, removed some roles and brought younger folk into director roles. Younger people with less apathy, I assume. It has been a year, and they still haven’t proposed a formal career path.

The US-owned National Post is urging Canadian Jews to take matters into their own hands to punish Avi Lewis for speaking up against the genocide in Gaza. They reference the Bible to bury alive and consume by fire. This is extremist hate. It needs to get called out. nationalpost.com/opinion/yoni...

I am reading Absolute Batman Vol 2 and they tell the story of Bane's youth, living in a prison, eating fleas, only to escape years later, now a giant made of pure muscle. Do you know what kind of nutrition you need to reach that physique? There are not enough fleas in the world my man.

I'm trying to watch more CPL football matches, but it is disheartening to see these dudes playing on those horrific artificial pitches. It is not only incredibly bad for the players, but you can see the sun reflecting on that fake-ass plastic grass when watching on TV.

Prensa francesa o Aeropress. Hace mucho que no uso cafetera porque prefiero hacerme un café a la vez y no dejar nada reposando (y nadie más en la casa toma café) + no tengo espacio para máquinas más grandes y elegantes.

Being apolitical is like being illiterate. You can make the conscious decision of being like that, but it is not something that can turn off and on, or compartmentalize. You are just ignoring a reality. Saying that you are apolitical is a declaration of ignorance.

I don't remember ever catching any virus since COVID more than two years ago, and I often commute on busy trains and I'm not really careful keeping my hands off my face. But I spent a few days in the proximity of a toddler and I immediately got sick!

We visited Alberta and had to document the birds that we do not see in Ontario. We saw a Clark's Nutcracker, a Seller's jay, and a million American Magpies. Locals were confused why we were interested in such a common and annoying bird, but they are quite pretty!

I don't remember all those silly concept albums from prog "metal" bands released close to the turn of the century with much kindness. This one still holds up for me. Musically, at least. The story is so dumb... Favourite song: Home

I know Gen Z loves late Deftones, but I grew up with this version of them, and this is how they sound in my head when I hear their name. Favourite song: Bored, but only because I made a video in college using it as the soundtrack and I will never forget it.
