Elbows up, eh? “The Trump administration pressured diplomatic officials from the EU, Canada and Lithuania to pull out of an international conference on disinformation after organizers announced panels warning of the threat posed by American government officials and the country’s influence broadly”

Missed this August release from Shun Ishikawa and Manami Kakudo - a song of Kakudo's, you may recall, was my pick for my favourite Japanese track of the 2020s to date. So this is very exciting news

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

i knew it would hit for you! also hell yeah i have also had success with blob girl, love to see those mini dice bopping around

physiotherapy assessment was great and mostly confirmed some things i'd already suspected but it did include at least one Fun Surprise lol

i'll always remember my $50 ticket to see her with the toronto orchestra...simpler times

carly rae jepsen is charging big-artist prices for her new tour which, on the one hand, is obviously great news for her -- but i fear i may be priced out 😔

and in this one you play the cool alien monsters! banger concept all around, this team is so good

@jessfrom.online I know you got very into Balatro and this has some similar stuff going on with the balancing of BV and Mult and the chase for exponentiation

Save 10% on Dicevaders on Steam

Learned that Starvaders - a game I think is fantastic - has a sequel/spinoff that came out last week, which is thrilling news for Dorians but does definitely impact how much other stuff I'm getting done in my week off.

store.steampowered.com

Dicevaders is a dice-based roguelike deckbuilder about leading the ultimate alien invasion. Set in the StarVaders universe, draft and manipulate the dice row, build an unstoppable army, and unleash ad...

Also I was genuinely startled the first time I heard Rachel Griffiths in an interview and realized she's Australian. Really solid accent work there

I haven't rewatched SFU in a long time and there are elements I think I'd probably have pretty mixed feelings about...but Conroy is giving one of the all-time great tv performances for real

Your displays should be mostly marginalized identities and experiences. Your display should also provide your patrons with resources for learning about bans and challenges, and how to get involved with their local community.

Okay I liked the cat pic a lot but I might like this one even better lol

They're gazing at you so adoringly, bless

omg cat reveal!! this is incredibly exciting

Yeah it's a confusing mess of contradictory and vague information. Sometimes individual public health units have slighter better info. In my experience though, demand has been low enough (unfortunately) that if you find a place offering the vaccine it's trivial to get it

Learn about Ontario’s flu vaccination program

There's also this one www.ontario.ca/page/flu-fac... which is only on the flu page but pretty clearly talks about both flu and COVID shots. The province's communication around this stuff has always been ABYSMAL though

ontario.ca

The flu

That reclassification only matters for the spring dose though - they're still recommending everyone get a fall dose if it's been more than three months since your last one. I believe the 'vulnerable populations' list for early fall eligibility is broader, I'm trying to source it now

I'm hoping to get it done this week while I'm off work but fully anticipate having to pharmacy-shop a bit to try and find somewhere that's actually received supply

COVID-19 pharmacy vaccine locations

Oh yes I was looking into this recently - in terms of approval, vulnerable populations (we'd both qualify I believe) are eligible as of Sept 28 and the rest of the province in late October. Specific locations are a little harder to verify, but there's a website for it www.ontario.ca/vaccine-loca...

ontario.ca

Find your closest pharmacy to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

to be clear I know this movie very well. I am rewatching it because @thisshouldbeaga.me recently announced they will be covering it

and now for something completely different

so ha-chan shake your booty fucking rules, i had a great time

Yeah -- most local shows (lots of community theatre) were able to reschedule + rebook at alternate venues but touring artists, understandably, mostly just cancelled. Their schedule windows are so much tighter

000

Anyway this feels especially timely because there's a new Rachel Hair album coming out on Friday so I'm already thinking a lot of harp thoughts

000

committing to try and get back into the harp groove during my week off even though i have an annoyingly placed broken string

000

I have played this, though many years ago when I was first learning - probably around onslaught/mirrodin blocks?

001

a FIVE HOUR rehearsal to boot

000

once per quarter or so i have a moderately insomniac night and i do NOT like that this one is happening before a morning theatre rehearsal

i had been hoping to go to the ottawa show but the venue flooded in july and had to cancel all their bookings through the end of this year...very sad

nora "the tea kobold" rude (they/them ze/hir) @nora.zone · 03/10/2026

yeah i always fall into this trap as well, i overthink these lists VERY intensely

I had breakfast with Brad Bradford and asked him what I think is the defining question of his campaign: Why do so many people from all ends of the political spectrum seem to dislike him so much as a person? www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

thestar.com

Richard Warnica: Does Brad Bradford believe in anything other than himself?

Bradford's relentless pursuit of success may also be his downfall.

wow at the redundancy in this, i am clearly only sort of awake

it's nice to have! on days i walk home from work, a substantial chunk of the walk is along the ottawa river and that has been so nice to have

Should Workers Get to Bargain on AI? | The Tyee

Super interesting read and definitely relevant to conversations *I* have been having as a member of my union's bargaining committee - within the committee, but also with rank and file members who are concerned about our employer's attitude on this stuff!

thetyee.ca

Employers are refusing to include protections on artificial intelligence in contract negotiations, unions say.

does wherever you're headed next have good water to spend time with?

stumbled across them while browsing folk releases years ago and have followed them since, super fun band
