This is the first taskmaster since I became a fan (so like five years) that I haven't cared. I'm not even watching. Thursdays mean nothing to me. It's very sad!

I came up with some more inane bullshit for everyone to argue about!
(September 23, 2026 at 10:44am)
Fake opinions to argue over…
- Never turn left on a first date.
- Every kindergarten student should have an unpaid internship.
- The periodic table is too sexual.
- Bigfoot should be allowed to vote.
- Having a dream is the same as reading a book.
- You can wear a crop top to a funeral if the deceased person was hot when they died.

I'm trying to non-algorithmically find things to read on the Internet lately and am pleased to have found this wonderful piece by @johnsemley3000.bsky.social ! It hit perfectly for me between a Six Feet Under series watch and a seasonal program of SFX-heavy movies. harpers.org/archive/2026...

I grew up with this and loved it more than anything as a kid, and as a young adult, but if I were to support it now it would hurt not just the world at large, not just trans ppl in general, but my very own trans friends personally. So I let it go. It was an easy choice! Fix your hearts.

this moody lil 14 year old finally got to see iron maiden over two decades later, but it was awesome
it is me as a 14 year old, wearing a ball chain necklace with a lock on it, black eyeliner, black and red rubber bracelets, and a black t-shirt, and i used jasc paint shop pro to make the background (a suburban kitchen) greyscale. at the time i was listening to a lot of iron maiden and i thought i was sooo cool (because i was).

I miss living in Halifax but one thing I am relieved to be rid of is the constant pressure to go to the beach during the two months it is summer there! I always had a job! I never had time! I don't like sand! I was not on vacation! The ocean is weird! I like swimming but the pressure was immense!

I am home sick watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I resent that this takes place in "Chicago" when it was clearly filmed on the Danforth. I don't know how Chicago's Greek scene is, but if the producers had let it take place on the Danforth, maybe Toula wouldn't have felt so alienated!!!

I must return to the fake twitter to report that I am currently drinking the worst latte I've ever had. It was made by a team of baristas who were loudly singing a song from Hamilton, then switched to a country song. I believe I accidentally went to the starbucks in downtown Hell. That is all.

re: The Odyssey, I was really excited for the Hades sequence but feeling quite disappointed now that Nolan decided to cut Skelly. Although now I'm wondering if maybe John Leguizamo is Skelly and just hasn't died yet? Idk, it really took me out of it...

I am logging on for one second for posterity, to say that the sound electric vehicles make in the city has a hollow affect (yes affect) that makes me feel like my heart suddenly disappeared, and when this becomes an iconic horror movie sound in the future, I need to be credited with calling it.

I decided I'm giving up on trying with this website, at least for a little while. It feels like it's enabling a lot of bad habits in people. I'm not deleting, just uninstalled it from my phone. You can find me on the other platform if you wish. Not the super evil one, just the normal evil one. Bye!!

I enjoyed celebrity traitors as anyone would, but I think I still like regular UK traitors much more. There's something about the performance the celebrities were doing that just made it seem less intense and therefore less fun. And so many tasks seemed designed to feed their egos lol. Boring.

Living in Kingston now it's the coldest place I've ever lived but it also means it's like a winter wonderland, snow stays on the ground, it's beautiful. I would take a winter average of -15°C over grey slush and freezing rain any day.

Celebrity Traitors is really fun but honestly after watching UK Traitors S1 all I can think is how unserious the celebrities are. And also how rich they all are lol. I really miss the regular people who are shockingly good at the game.
