We should be doing to these people what the Christians did to Hypatia

Work got a lot better once I started going out drinking with a bunch of coworkers every Friday afternoon, which is both good and bad

Got to see BODYCAM tonight with a bunch of cast and crew doing a Q&A afterward. Fun movie! It lost me a little at the very end, but it sticks to the found footage premise and does it well. I do love seeing Calgary in a movie

I’m enjoying Paradise season 2. I do miss some of our season 1 friends, and that is definitely getting in the way of my love for it. Brown is so goddamn charming though it’s unbelievable. The smile is brilliant.

Finally saw Abigail. Not quite my tempo. I think it’s in a weird spot on the scary-silly spectrum. I also don’t think Melissa was doing anything interesting. Abigail actress good for a kid though especially.

Got to see How to Make a Killing early, and it certainly is a Glen Powell movie. It’s fun! Cute and charming and then sort of sad and infuriating. It’s clearly attempting to be Dickensian and succeeding in a way. Ed Harris is always nice to see.

We put down our cat Teo yesterday. He was 15 years old, and we’d had him for 10 of those years. He was such a beautiful cat, and I’m going to miss him. RIP Teotihuacan.

An orange cat and a black cat are sleeping together on a teal couch.

An orange cat is wearing a toque that is far too big for him. He’s beautiful.

Insurance company just decided that they’re going to do a cash settlement for our siding instead of fixing it. The contractor says it’s unlikely the cash will be enough to actually pay for it. It’s so cool that the insurance company can just decide to rip us off!

Stuck in a nightmare with my insurance company. I can’t make any policy changes online anymore and every time I talk to them directly they tell me that’s normal. What do you mean that’s normal! No it isn’t!

If you’ve ever wondered what they’re doing at Alberta Next panels, they’re cutting mics and telling high school students their parents should beat them.

Very sad that our older cat is unwell and in pain and this seems to be leading to increased conflict with the other cat. They seem to be fighting for real instead of for play. Poor animals.

No yeah I love my ELA class with 40 students and my film class with 38 students it’s great when you can hardly move in the classroom

Last night we saw a skunk dragging the body of a dead animal across our neighbor’s lawn. The body was somehow stuck in or tangled with a reusable bag. Turns out a little snowshoe hare died on the sidewalk, bled everywhere, and now the body’s gone. What the fuck man

Coming to the bargaining table with the same salary increase teachers already voted down was not in good faith, even if it came with a positive step forward in promising funds for hiring. They knew the union bargaining team wouldn’t agree to it. This is calculated

If your daughter wants to play junior or senior high sports in Alberta you now gotta sign a document confirming she’s cis to compete with girls. Parents can officially accuse your daughter of lying and she’ll be investigated.

Been watching the Child’s Plays, and man these movies are fun. I think I had only seen 1 and, weirdly, the very end of 2 (of the first trilogy). Chucky sure gets ugly in the third one.

I would like to know how the people who believe kids should have phones in the classroom think teachers should prevent cheating with LLMs, but I don’t want to talk to them to find out.

I can’t seem to find it, but this Northback YouTube ad about mining coal in Alberta has a map of the province that seems to have Lake Athabasca cut out. I don’t get it lol why did they change the border

Well that was a weird one. I think I liked it. Interesting imagery. Surprised at how much footage they use from A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Poster for the film OBEX. A man is standing at the front of a church. Pews are in frame facing him. The silhouette of some horned humanoid creature standing out of frame is cast across the man and the whole front wall of the church.

Poor old cat has dental resorption. He needs to go to a vet dentist, which is a thing I didn’t know existed! I feel so bad for him; he’s been in a lot of pain. Now he might lose all of his teeth.

There’s a tendency to assume a sort of perfection among artists. Just because someone holds a set of political beliefs does not mean they can precisely represent those beliefs in narrative fiction.

Funny story: I put on Fellowship of the Ring today just for no reason while hanging out on the couch. Wife came down and laughed at me for watching it. Thought that was a weird reaction! Turns out my other gift is tickets to see Fellowship with a live orchestra in January lmao
