CBC Olympics coverage just cut away from the finish of the Women's curling semifinal to show the beginning of the men's hockey semifinal, and I am furious at whoever made that decision. Yes, I know it's streaming. Still mad.

Tim Cook went to the White House last night for a screening of the Melania documentary. Just hours after someone was murdered by ICE. Remember that the next time you go to buy an Apple service or device.

Watching America is like watching a game of Buckaroo. We’re all waiting to see what is going to be the final piece to make the mule kick. But also wondering if the game is just too worn and broken to ever kick and it just sits there, piled up with shit.

Let me Google that for you is a trope that spawned a few websites that allow passive-aggressive answers to a question. It would make a great podcast premise - the answerer could approach the question their way, going down rabbit-holes or doing deep dives. Perfect for @bechillcomedian.bsky.social

I reported a minor error in a web page, and the response I received was polite, but included the sentence "We have received few complaints regarding this". I think they meant to say "a few complaints". I am surprised by the tone change caused by omitting a single "a". #linguistics #langsky

I normally give the crows and Blue Jays peanuts, but it's the coldest day of the winter so far, so I tossed out some bread crusts. I think an occasional carb is ok when they are burning a lot of calories. 🪶
