iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I’ve never heard of Heave Way or Home for a Rest! I’m lacking in my small town Canadiana culture. Will have to explore!

Also, we just get our shipments later, too. So it’s a confluence of things. :)

Spoke to an infectious disease doctor and apparently it’s actually more effective to get it later (the immunity wanes after a while) so we get full coverage when the worst of the infections (December-March) are hitting. Getting it earlier often requires a booster later in the season.

Called my pharmacy to make an appointment for October 26 and they told me that, a) I was the first one to call them, and b) I’m too early to make an appointment. I guess I’ll have to call every week until I can get one! news.ontario.ca/en/release/1...

There‘s much to appreciate in Mamdani, but his insistence that culture isn’t a privilege of the rich is one of his strengths.It is reminiscent of how unions and the government treated it in the 1930s -art for the masses - paintings, music, opera, theater - democracy for all.

Sent a few postcards from our trip to Montréal last weekend, and this one is my favorite.

Closed up the pool for the season this morning. For us, that’s the official end of the summer and the start of the fall.

Every time I get an email from an “AI” inviting me to their new platform, not only do I block/report, I also put a hex on the human who released it into the wild. You’re gonna have toes growing out of your ears and everything you put in your mouth will taste like soap. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Allowing the most powerful segment of society to opt out of public services inevitably makes public services worse. This is why the existence of private schools inevitably makes public schools worse. A simple fact that seems hard for many to admit. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/private-sc...

Where’s that venn diagram? I hope the residents of #ldnont realize that voting for tax freezes also means voting for services freezes. We won’t get any resolution to homelessness, addiction, or even the additional police you think you need (you don’t) without additional funding.

The Ms. Rachel thing is instructive because ppl just vaguely talk about her being antisemitic so as to avoid articulating her original offense: daring to feature in her videos a 3 year old whom the IDF blew the feet off of

I am enormously sad for people who will develop as fans without the opportunity to be bitterly disappointed or deeply exhilarated for *no rational reason* at all. No money on the line, no insults in the comments to throw around, just the inexplicable but enduring experience of *fandom itself*.

Collapsing the vastness of the open web into a handful of social media sites was a mistake.

every few months I have reason to send Ricki Heicklen's collection of unparalleled misalignments (e.g. "butt dial" and "booty call" are composed of synonyms but are not, per se) to someone and I get to look at what's been updated since and it never fails to delight rickiheicklen.com/unparalleled...
