Today appears to be "bus anarchy day", where bus drivers just do whatever they want, and only stop if they feel like it. #yeg

I guess this means CircleK will continue to serve the soccer themed frosters instead of my sugar-free one.

Ho Ho (HUB mall): "Here's your soup!" Me: "Umm, where's the spoons?" Ho Ho: "We don't have any!" Me: ... (A simple warning of "we have no spoons" *before* buying the soup would have been nice.)

If you think AI sucks now, wait until these companies are so desperate to have an income stream that we start casually having Taco Bell mentioned in our chat responses.

New app idea: "Halfsies" So basically I want to buy a McCain's Deep'n Delicious cake, but I don't want to eat a whole one. Halfsies locates a second party who also wants to buy a Deep 'n Delicious cake and we split it. (Note: the app would also help split non-Deep'n Delicious things.)

Maybe Trump wants the US to take over so many places so that as a felon he'll be legally entitled to visit them?

Looks like Danielle Smith has a flag for her Vichy administration. She gives Trump's stars and stripes top billing. She has blanked out our Maple Leaf with a battle cry for oil giants. Did Kevin O'Leary help design the logo? Canada needs to stand up to the quislings.

Does anybody else have that sick feeling that Trump is going to try to give/sell TikTok to Musk? (If the US supreme court rules that it has to be sold from Chinese ownership.)

@bsky.app UX suggestion: back button while viewing an image should just dismiss the image (not go back to the previous page in the browser history). The current behavior is confusing. #UX
