iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Decided to listen to the East of Eden audiobook bc the wait for the ebook on Libby is like... several months?! I've read it twice, but I need a refresher in advance of the mini seties.

If I wanted personalized music I would've spent my life honing my songwriting skills. I don't give a shit about ai music. These tech bros are not music enjoyers.

Very happy that bkuesky is an app that I feel cautious about opening up in public bc I'm guaranteed to scroll by at least one super NSFW post. Feels like the old internet, in a way.

I havent interacted w Pinterest in like 15 years but one of my pins was removed for self harm??? It didn't even tell me what the content of that pin was. Was it something I posted? Who fucking knows! I suspect it was Metalocalypse fanart, but if you're going to remove my shit, tell me what it was.

Accidentally got to watch the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montreal today! We went on an adventure and just happened to get off the REM at a station right next to the course as the riders came through. This was a real treat today.

Brought my thumbnail book and laptop to Montreal for my cousin's wedding to kill time in between events, but nah, I'm going to test out the rem and do a Fairmount vs St Viateur bagel taste test. (My favourite is actually Bagel de l'Ouest but we're going there on Sunday)

Curious to see what comes of this Tapas announcement and if it will actually shut down, but I've preemptively put a post up there to direct people to my other sites. If they fully shut down without rolling all the titles into another platform, it's going to be a huge loss.

You know ehat? The 401 needs one more lane. The catch? Its public transit only. Anyone that isn't a bus recieves life ruining fines. Anyways, it took the bus 2 hours to get from Union Station to Whitby. And the UP Express was down today so I had to take a GO bus in rush hour traffic.

It finally happened to me! I got signed up for Uber One because of Uber's shady app interface! I had the app open as I was getting in my ride and the "join Uber one?" Pop up appeared but disappeared before I could click "not now" and I received an email saying "thanks for signing up" Fuuuuuck that!

I got an account strike on reddit for saying we need to bring back slapping people upside the head for bad public behaviour. Lmaooo fuck off. This isnt inciting violence and this kind of censorship is why people continue to act like animals at the theatre.

These pro-AI whiners can't fathom why everyone's so hostile on Bluesky. This is a knowledge-worker bar. You couldn't go into a steelworker bar and brag about outsourcing their jobs. Why would you expect a warm welcome here? Plus, you're always bragging about ending life on earth.

every cat should get to see the great lakes, at least once

A comic page featuring Darius taking a long road trip with his cat, Pugsley. Panels show them driving next to Lake Erie, standing at the beach at sunset, Darius rubbing his eyes while driving, Darius and Pugsley sitting in a cheap motel room watching TV and eating Chinese food, then the next morning, driving on I-90 into Chicago. Darius sips coffee from a to-go cup while Pugsley stares out the window at the Chicago Skyway Toll Bridge. I'm not sure why they went this way. That toll bridge is expensive.

The storm in Toronto today was crazy. I jumped on a streetcar like 10 seconds before it started hailing. Unfortunately it was a short turn and we all got booted off at Queen St W. The wind was destroying umbrellas and everyone in the transit shelters got drenched.
