For several years now, I've been making my own smart-ass, mildly Grinchy Christmas cards for everyone on my mailing list. I've gotten compliments on how the recipients look forward to it each year. But I've used AI in some form each year since 2023 and I want to get off that crutch.

10 years ago, I started a feature for @extralifeyyc.bsky.social's social media: Saturday Night Superfight. Inspired by the #Superfight card game, I created a ridiculous matchup and invited readers to vote & discuss. Since big movies are now often out the same day, I once came up with this. #Dunesday

10 years ago I coloured my hair purple. We at @extralifeyyc.bsky.social lost a bet with our #Edmonton rivals, so I had to do go purple to honour @stollerykids.bsky.social. If we won, their social media person would've had to get their hair done blue, that's the Alberta Children's Hospital's colour.

I'm going to a screening of the 1986 animated #Transformers movie this afternoon. I'm going to go Unicron on the popcorn. 🍿

@calgarytransit.com Why did you replace the bus stop signs for the #2 along 78 Avenue NW with signs that say "Future Bus Zone"? All bus service along that road will *end* before August 31, so shouldn't the signs say that instead? This is misinformation.

Got my Blizzard at DQ for #MiracleTreatDay to support the Alberta Children's Hospital! I tried the Mexican-style Hot Chocolate Made with ABUELITA™ Blizzard. You can taste the cinnamon!

@georgetakei.bsky.social I'll bet lots of other people sent you this today.

I thought of something silly and belated to do for #CanadaDay. I was going to rename all the Bidoofs and Bibarels I have in Pokémon Home and rename them after all 24 of Canada's Prime Ministers. Alas, I only have 14. But one's already named Justin. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

What’s the point of adding a case to the shelf if it doesn’t have the disc?

@cwgabriel.bsky.social I had He-Man toys, my sister had She-Ra toys, we’d watch both shows and play together, but I have no nostalgia for it. I’ll wait for streaming. But I did get these for her cats.

@bobchipman.bsky.social I’m just surprised this is actual tie-in merch.

I'll forgo the preview and go in cold. Don't want to ruin the bar fight.

Cover for Star Trek: Celebrations (2026). It features Beckett and Jennifer embracing and lost in each other's eyes while oblivious to a raging bar fight going on right behind them. T'Lyn is also here, quietly sipping a martini, being her usual unflappable self.

I visited New York City for the first time in October 2015, and I got to go to a taping of The Late Show. I'm a fan of Stephen Colbert, so this was the highlight of my trip.

I helped run @extralifeyyc.bsky.social's table at @otafest.com last weekend. I had my Evercade VS set up & the 1st morning, @evercade.co.uk announced Activision Collection 3. I was showing off my Evercade to another table volunteer, and he was visibly gobsmacked to learn #Activision was once indie.

I was pleasantly surprised to learn today that @nordvpn.bsky.social now has servers here in #Calgary! No more ads for BC car dealerships in my podcasts! But if #BillC22 becomes law, it'll be moot anyway. Sources below.

Okay, to give credit where it’s due, Gemini saw an opening while I was searching for that meme and it went all in.

Dang. I know this is small potatoes by YouTube standards, but I just use my YouTube channel to stash my raw, unedited game stream videos. Almost all of them have single-digit views. And 0 is a digit.

When I was in junior *and* senior high, we had to use combination locks provided by the school. But we weren't informed of this requirement until *after* buying a lock at Staples. #scam

Here's another #BurgerKing meme for my fellow Canadians. The end result is so close to #Harveys' real logo, it's almost like looking into a parallel universe.

I considered doing a #BurgerKing meme for my charity gaming group, but result was too much like a real ad. So I used this @penny-arcade.com classic. (CC: @cwtycho.penny-arcade.com, @cwgabriel.bsky.social)

I’m slowly getting back into Pokémon Go. Tonight I reactivated my Home subscription and moved all my boxes over from Sword. And why do I have fourteen Bulbasaurs?!?

True story, I think it was last year. After work, I was waiting for the bus home, and I saw a bag left at the bus stop full of 2x-size Kit Kat bars. I brought it home, looked the bars over, they were past the best before date but seemed okay so I had one. I did some math, and it was ~$80 of candy.
